So looking at this thread and the older one, I notice a distinct lack of FUNK. What gives? Surely someone should recommend some Bootsy, maybe "Bootzilla" or "Rotorooter". A track I think has really funky bass that no one really hears much but when I play it always gets the head bobbin is...
I guess that is it. I checked and both the feature and extras disk have numerous scratches. I had to miss whole scenes because of this so it was annoying. Cheers, Muskie
I finally got around to renting this and in the 15th Chapter at approximately 58:38 into the movie it stutters then freezes. I can force it forward a few more seconds but then it won't go no more. I can switch ahead a chapter. This is a rental DVD and this is the first time I've experienced...
I also bought this DVD and watched it with a friend for the first time since I saw it in the theaters. I thought it was brilliant, just like before. Never even noticed the sound track problems. In fact I thought some of the trippy sound effects were cool, voices all around your head in one...
I bought a fake Hardboiled from coffeetealover on eBay. She/he sold a number of them plus other fake asian movies out of Toronto. Of course they had a no refund policy and were a real prick about it. I disputed it with Mastercard, because the word "authentic" was not in the ad, Mastercard...
I despise Blockbuster. I rent from a little independant place about a block and half from me it's on Davie and Howe or something. But a place that has a pile of movies that no one else has is on West 4th. It is just off Burrard. You have to pay a yearly fee for the privledge of renting...
Johnny Cash has always done covers, he didn't write "Boy Named Sue" or "Sunday Morning coming Down". The American Recordings have a lot of covers, but this is not a new trend. Johnny Cash was always into songwriters like Dylan, Steve Earle, he always cover's Willie Nelsen's songs too. There...
I listened to the T751 previously and inquired about the cost of the T752 not to long ago at a local store. Then I saw an ad for the T742 in a local paper. I resisted even going to look at it, because I actually had the money to buy it, but wasn't sure I should spend the money. I was still...
Not to rain on your parade but I've seen this movie and I didn't think too much of it sorry.
Everyone has there own pet list of movies though so more power to you.

For the record I have none of them, not even any of them on VHS. I buy DVD's regularly too, the last one I bought was the new edition of "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest". That said I will soon own at least one of them, as I plan to buy Fellowship of the Rings now that the snazzier...
Neil Young and Booker T and the MG's at Bobfest is avaiable commercially on CD. Dylan and the Dead has it I believe. Jimi of course, it's on the BBC sessions too for an alternate version. I know I'm missing one that I own or something... I'm better at Neil Young covers as I'm a way...
These are made in Vancouver Canada but just because I know where there head office is... well I wish I knew more about this. I've recently gotten into buying DVD's and I always liked Reboot but I could never follow it all as I saw the episodes in such a scatter shot order. I hope someone can...
I was looking for some Herzog movies the other day in Virgin, as I saw Aquire on VHS there once. I've kinda turned Aquire into a cult film amongst my friends. Only two of us have seen it (I've seen it several times due to taking a German film course). My German is mostly non existant though I...
I searched for info on the new NAD's I didn't find much, though they are mentioned but not on NAD's homepage. Do you have any more info on them?

The 5200 has no phone input but the Dennon 1802 does right? As for preouts does not the Dennon have LCR and sub, I'm not so sure on the Marantz here...
Also what about driving speakers of other then 8 ohms with these three receivers? Dennon's .pdf mentions the power ratings into 6 ohms. I'm...
The funk compilation (blaxploitation) I was trying to recommend is called "The Big Score". I went home and looked. ;)
My favorite surpise track is possibly "Easin' In" by Edwin Starr who if you can find him at all is in the Soul section...
If you can dig, look for and album called...
Blaxploitation Film Soundtrack compilations
The best one I have is from England, there are a whole series of them but the one I bought in New York on import (they're all from England) is still the best, don't recall the exact title.
As for a specific album Curtis Mayfield "Superfly".
The...
New Nissan truck commercial uses an R.L. Burnside song off Come on In. I couldn't beleive my ears when I heard this. I've been meaning to write his record lable to confirm this.
As for the Maxima commercial. It wasn't the beginning where he screams, it is actually towards the end, but I...
