Has anyone used the Klipsch Image e1 earbuds? Any pros and/or cons?

Gave my surround system a good workout.

I was more impressed with the soundtrack than the movie.

I thought it was a confusing movie also. I checked the BBC dvd version out of my local library, hoping that will make more sense. I will probably also read the book. Yes I do like to read, but usually non-fiction historical type stuff. I'll make an exception with this one.

1. B.B. King 2. Albert King 3. Freddy King 4. Buddy Guy 5. Roy Buchanan 6. Johnny Winter 7. Howlin' Wolf 8. Jimmy Thackery 9. Elvin Bishop 10. Eric Clapton (when he decides to play the blues) 11. Bobby "Blue" Bland 12. Ruth Brown 13. Junior Wells 14. Janis Joplin 15. George Thorogood

John Anderson - Greatest Hits. Just needed to hear "Swingin" again. Goes back to my old band days. We did everything from John Anderson to Tom Petty.

Just picked this up yesterday: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss "Raising Sand" cd on the Rounder label. Beautiful sound. Low key tempo-wise overall. Seems like an odd pairing, but they sound good together. Very good easy listening music. My favorite tracks were "Killing The Blues" and "Nothin".

I have a pretty good idea how you feel. My wife (16 years younger than me) of 17 years decided in February that she wanted to separate and moved in with her sister. She told me she couldn't ask for a better husband. Said I didn't do anything wrong. Said she didn't know if it was menopause, mid-life crisis, job stress or all the above. Caught me out of the blue. I don't know if this is permanent, but my gut feeling tells me it is. I'm still in limbo land. I've also been lax in keeping up with the forum since then. Things I used to enjoy, music, movies etc. just don't seem the same. I have a general lack of interest in anything right now. I know how you hurt. It's a real emotional roller coaster. I feel sort of ok one day and down the next. All we can do is hang in there and hope life somehow becomes stable again.

There is also a separate "Bonus CD" that can be purchased that has five more songs including "American Girl", "Search & Destroy", "Space Oddity", "Dear Friends" and "Heartbeat" as well as three backstage interviews. Overall I've enjoyed both discs. allmusic.com gave "Yeah!" a pretty good review. I was pretty impressed with "Rock On" also.

Rick88 how about a review of the Buck Owens Collection cd box set? I've been thinking about getting this myself. Also interested in your opinion of Pat Benatar - In The Heat Of The Night remastered .

OK, I'm added to the map.

I had an HK receiver I bought back in the '80s. I had a similar problem (after about 15 years). I ended up taking the cover off and cleaning the dust out with a can of air. I couldn't believe how dirty it was inside. Once the dust was blown out it worked fine.

I'm a John Candy fan. No matter how many times I watch "Uncle Buck" it always cracks me up.

I Have RB5-IIs and a KSW12 sub. The RB5-IIs have a decent bottom end by themselves. Sometimes I listen to music with the sub and sometimes without. It just depends on my mood.

Well, I have a DVD recommendation. This will appeal to jazz/big band fans and especially drummers. Buddy Rich: "Buddy Rich: Jazz Legend: 1917 - 1987": DVD - Jazz/ Big Band I got this through Netflix and it's definitely on my list to purchase. The video quality varies (due to the age of some of the material. The audio is only 2.0 but I listened to it in 5 channel stereo. All I can say is WHEW! If todays drummers had half the chops Rich had they'd be doing great. Just watch Rich's left hand in action - speed and precision. I was fortunate enough to see him perform in concert twice before he died. This just reinforced how lucky I was. The DVD is basically a documentary, but there are plenty of full performnces such as "West Side Story" and "Channel One Suite". Check out "Brush Strokes". In one segment he's soloing and if you watch close you see that he's actually tapping the bass drum with his right stick and in another piece he has a roll going with his left hand and bass drum. A couple of times there are close-ups of him doing rolls in his solos where he slows down to all but stopping and then speeds up to the point where the sticks are a blur. Well, you get the idea. I was blown away.

My wife and I watched this several nights ago. It was better than I expected. I'm not a horror buff, but this wasn't a real horror movie. It was more like a combination of horror and Law & order. I was just glad I didn't wake up at 3:00 a.m. in a nervous sweat.

I saw Walsh in concert around '73 or '74 on the "The Smoker You Drink etc." tour. He was playing at Martin's West, Baltimore, Md. which was basically a fancy wedding reception/banquet hall. I believe it was their first and last hosting of a rock concert. It was a great concert. The Climax Blues Band was the warm-up. Although Walsh & Barnstorm were very good, CBB really left an impression on me. I had never heard them before, but started collecting their albums after that concert. I my opinion their guitarist (Peter Haycock I believe) was the better axeman that night. I saw Walsh in concert several times after that and CBB also. Once I saw Walsh in a small club in Newark, DE. In addition to Joe Vitale on drums, he also had some kid by the name of Zak Starkey playing drums.

I wasn't sure if this was the right area to post this, but here goes. I use Windows Media Player 10 to keep playlists, rip and burn CDs. I know alot of folks don't care for WMP but it works ok for me. My question is does anyone know if it is possible to edit music off the beginning or end of a song that has been ripped into WMP? If so, how is this done? I make my own compilation CDs (usually by genre, i.e. roots of heavy metal, power pop, British Invasion, etc.) and occaisionally find it would be useful if I could edit a track. Thanks for any input folks.

I work part-time at Wal-Mart in the electronics dept. (that's what they call it). Today our CD vendor was in with a list of Sony titles and he was pulling them from the CD section.

Uncle Buck - Whenever I need a good laugh, this is the one. John Candy cracks me up in this one.

My favorites: 1. Buddy Rich 2. Carl Palmer 3. Ginger Baker 4. Bernard "Pretty" Purdie (Numerous sessions: Aretha Franklin, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, on & on) 5. Ringo Starr Buddy Rich was obnoxious, but also a great talent on drums. Ringo though not a technically great drummer, was the one who inspired me and many others in the early '60s to play drums.

I got two new sets this week. Van Halen: "The Best Of Both Worlds" - CD - Rock - This is some kicking rock. I can't seem to get "And The Cradle Will Rock" out of my head. Cream: "Royal Albert hall, London, May 2-3-5-6 2005" - CD - Classic Rock - The guys may not play with quite the same wild intensity as they did back in 1968, but they are about 37 years older. They still have the chops. Something I don't remember hearing by them back in the day that was on this set is "Stormy Monday". Always liked that song. There is also an 8+ minutes version of "Sunshine Of Your Love". And for any of you drum fans out there, Ginger Baker resurrects "Toad". They covered all the bases.

I've gotten into something old and something new this week. Genesis: "The Platinum Collection" - CD - Rock - This 3 CD set provides a good overview of Genesis the progressive era with Peter Gabriel to their more top forty leanings of more recent years. Songs range from "Supper's Ready" and "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" to "Abacab" and "Paperlate" on to "Tonight Tonight Tonight" and "I Can't Dance". Eric Clapton: "Back Home" - DualDisc - Rock - The best way for me to describe this is it's Eric the family man, from the picture in the booklet to the songs. A very warm sounding CD. Favorite tracks are "Revolution" and "So Tired". Anyone who has kids will be able to relate to "So Tired".

That was a dream, huh? And here I thought I really was Carl Palmer on the Brain Salad Surgery tour. It must have been those gongs that did it. I still can't get the ringing out of my head.

Here's a few of my favorites, some whom have been listed before. Ringo Starr: Maybe not the most technically proficient, but certainly the one who first caught my attention and inspired me to play drums in the first place. I've seen him in concert and there's just something about the way he does fills on the toms. Carl Palmer: Just a fantastic all around percussionist. Myron Grombacher: Played with Rick Derringer and Pat Benatar. Very good rock chops and a visually captivating drummer to watch. John Densmore: The Doors drummer and a very good percussionist. He added alot of color to the palate of The Doors music. Another very inspirational drummer in my life. Max Weinberg: Mighty Max of the E-Street Band. Very powerful and tasteful drummer. Bernard "Pretty" Purdie: Purdie has influenced alot of drummers over the years. Just check out those old interviews in Modern Drummer. He's played with everyone from Aretha Franklin to Steely Dan.
