  1. Spotify will try to lure you in with a Facebook login, but look for the smaller print to create an account instead. I deleted my Facebook and detangled Spotify from it.... it can be done! I like the flexibility in following/sharing with friends that I choose, without being forced to do so. You can also follow artists to be alerted when they have new releases.

    Beware, though. It's highly addictive. One searched song leads to another, then another, and another....I have one playlist that's 24 hours long, and it wasn't hard to assemble :)

    It will also import any songs found on your harddrive.

  2. We should all do our part to help others in need. I would never dispute that, and have certainly done my part. I just don't believe a discussion about personal philosophies of the governments role in compelling us to do so is appropriate here.

  3. I guess it depends on who the "we" is referring to. We the government of the United States? Political. We as individuals? Corporations? Non profit charitable organizations? Not political.

    It actually doesn't matter. All it takes is one person on this thread to start ranting about the implied politics of your post and the entire thing degrades into a nasty debate that very few people enjoy finding on an audio forum.

    Wow... All that and on a Friday night.... "Top Notch"

    Valentines Day, no less!! ;)

  5. If we all liked (hated) the same thing, it'd be boring.

    Absolutely.

    I suppose if I search hard, I can find some tunes with a harmonica that are tolerable...specifically slower folk tunes. I do like Neil Young, and some Bob Dylan I won't automatically turn off.

    But prominently featuring a harmonica? Ugh. Maybe it's blues in general that I can't stand.

  6. I don't like seafood and there are still selected people who will always ask me "have you tried this? Come on this is different"

    I'm right there with you. I don't eat anything that lives in water. It's a mental block, and I won't even try it. So don't ask. :)

  7. I'm a very tolerant music person, at least within my particular genres. Not much actually makes me change the radio station besides commercials and DJs.

    Three exceptions I can think of off the top of my head (I can't get to that channel button fast enough):

    Phillip Phillips

    ZZ Top

    Anything with a harmonica

  8. A warning post prior to locking, by a moderator would be nice. A closing statement on a locked thread from a moderator would be nice as well. At least then we'd know why the thread was locked.

    The locking of the first thread of the same subject was the warning :)

    I think most locks are self explanatory, but perhaps not. I'll try better!

  9. Thanks dtel!

    Yes, the lens has image stabilization. I won't bother shooting without it - it's well worth the extra money to me.

    This is my favorite pic I've taken with it. I'm still amazed by how detailed it is for a "bargain" lens at 300mm.

    Not the best ever, but definitely enough for my purposes.
