Then the bass simply was not good enough and active subwoofers were not on the scene. This album made me change my loudspeakers to Cornwalls and the rest just followed. I loved that album. First one to have 7 top hits. The ABC interview with him was a nightmare. I think he is a closet queen with deep emotional trauma. He says it is from his father. I think it is from a young, rich celebrity coping with a dramatic skin color change in front of the ever-present media. He may be more weird than many weird-anyway artists, but I was proud to play that awesome album. It was pure, not guilty, pleasure. Colin: Far out I had Fultons and Dynaco also! Even back then I would guiltily listen to David Bowie China Girl I spent a summer working in pub in the south of Ireland, where the only modern recording was Abba’s greatest hits. Now, I can’t hear anything by Sweden’s greatest rock band without thinking of the Emerald Isle. Hell, I even watched their dumb movie. I admit that I like their music, if only for the memories it evokes. ----------------
  2. Here is mine I got in 1975, with the vestigial arm. Loved it even moore when it was used in Clockwork Orange. Those were the days, Fulton speakers dynaco apmps!
  3. I get hundreds a day! I made every member my buddy list!
  4. I have been wanting to do that too Moon, but with the Manley and La Scala and the 40 gig i-pod! In my Van.
  5. Wow a direct response from clu that deserves my first smiley face thingy. About the avatar Colin said: I appreciate the guys who put amp pictures up instead of their own ugly mugs! So I thought I'd flash the stingray for awhile, that white paint was beginning to chap my *** anyway. I thought having a manly man moniker might be misunderstood also us Alaskans have no manly issues, and while I still have the talking stickI DIG everyone on the forum.

  10. These two month old Las Scalas for sale here in Anchorage are bugging me to death, the guy wants 2500 for them obo. I dont need them; I have a pair of 78s. They are just raw plywood though, not black liquor, and is a more modern crossover better? Should I stack them on each other and make a killer two channel, or start a HT, I have a Sony decoder I won, and a 15 inch Boston sub, or keep the new LS and sell the old, which I got for 900? I have not spent my 1200 tax refund that warmonger bush did not get, so do you think I could get them for around 12?
  11. Saw ad in the ADN yesterday two months old 2500 OBO if any one is interested
  12. 3) Chapter 37. Oriental Religions in the West. Frazer, Sir James George. 1922. The Golden Bough At least it is a remarkable coincidence, if it is nothing more, that the Christian and the heathen festivals of the divine death and resurrection should have been solemnised at the same season and in the same places. For the places which celebrated the death of Christ at the spring equinox were Phrygia, Gaul, and apparently Rome, that is, the very regions in which the worship of Attis either originated or struck deepest root. It is difficult to regard the coincidence as purely accidental. If the vernal equinox, the season at which in the temperate regions the whole face of nature testifies to a fresh outburst of vital energy, had been viewed from of old as the time when the world was annually created afresh in the resurrection of a god, nothing could be more natural than to place the resurrection of the new deity at the same cardinal point of the year. Only it is to be observed that if the death of Christ was dated on the twenty-fifth of March, his resurrection, according to Christian tradition, must have happened on the twenty-seventh of March, which is just two days later than the vernal equinox of the Julian calendar and the resurrection of Attis. A similar displacement of two days in the adjustment of Christian to heathen celebrations occurs in the festivals of St. George and the Assumption of the Virgin. However, another Christian tradition, followed by Lactantius and perhaps by the practice of the Church in Gaul, placed the death of Christ on the twenty-third and his resurrection on the twenty-fifth of March. If that was so, his resurrection coincided exactly with the resurrection of Attis.
  13. Being a very old hippie I seem to remember a saying "Suppose they gave a war and nobody came." Ignored flames will go away
  14. One of my coworkers turned me on to Via Satellite by Ian Moore, I listened to it at work and liked the genesis, yes similarity to them, I then went out and got the DVD (****ty) and Live in Austin and his signature album, very very cool
  15. I just read the post from Griffinator and how loud Heritage speakers are. I while my arsehole neighbor was away finally turned up my La Scalas. It was unplugging things from the wall sockets! It knocked things off the walls of my neighbors apartment (BONUS) Tell some stories of your LOUD speakers!
  16. I got your back on that Marvel! Ann Manley is WAY COOL! Those other bimbos probably dont know a treble from a cleft. Ann DESIGNS the stuff. I had no idea who she was before I bought the Stingray, but as I looked into the company, and how it is run I could see it as a good place to put out top notch equipment. I have a friend who has something of theirs in his studio, and loves it. Does anyone else have any of Manly things?
  17. good call on that Mr lang smilin, I got both his albums for christmas and they are quite good
  18. I used to make duct tape, in Southern Illinois! Hung out in the Humidity and made duct chucks! I also made my first Dynaco tube amps and preamps, spinning a Transcriptor Saturn turntable with the evestigal arm. I used Fulton FMI 80 speakers, glad to be back in the tube fun again
  19. One of almost 500 albums, 5400 songs played random, hooked to the Manly Stingray and those 70's La Scala, pretty interesting
  20. I gave my arse-hole neighbor a DVD player for Christmas, it was one that I won at work, part of a Sony ht system I won. I bribed Santa into a NAD T533 DVD player and since six DVD players would be a little much for any Alaskan, I decided to give one to them hopefully he will tell me instead of my calling my landlord! I never thought those $900 La Scalas would need a $120,000 HOUSEing.
  21. Hay CLU, that profile looks familiar, I think his name is HARVEY! He is more shadow than substance though, and a good drinker. I really like that shot of you in costume CLU, it reminds me of a shot in Blade Runner, when Darryl Hanna is sitting on Harrison Fords face, making a face and getting ready to pop his eardrums. I have a self portrait also, if you view my avatar in full size! Happy New Year to you and yours, and this extends to all on the forum!!!
