Re: Greta Van Fleet to play 'Saturday Night Live' on Jan. 19

If they play blues,funk and folk,the lads can certainly carve out a major place in rock,perhaps aiding its hoped-for revival . I'm calling the time of death and alerting the coroner. Most blues and funk doesn't sell here. My friends who do that, generally tour UK and Europe when they wish to eat. T...

They get compared to Led Zep...

Re: Best Local TV News in Detroit

WXYZ has become an outlet for infomercials produced by The Cleveland Clinic and Consumer Reports. I feel like I'm watching them swirl the drain, and for that reason I continue to watch.

Re: Hulu or Netflix?

Hulu used to suffer a lot with connectivity. More than once, techs had me playing games with DNS strings to get it to work, I believe this is all in the past but as recent as 5 years ago, the service was sketchy.

Psh. Mitch Ryder could play the opening of a Dairy Queen and WCSX would promote it and broadcast live.
Except that would probably kick ass... I'm picturing him over-filling soft serve cones to effect while belting out "Rock N Roll."

The Queen double-sucks. The royal family is the fountain from which much bullshit flows.

Re: Detroit needs another option for vintage Rock music

WCSX is just terrible but isn't it the program director and on-air staff that make that way?

I heard Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" on the drive home this week, it was playing both on WOMC and WCSX at the same time... Who would play this awful crap and why? Who would play over and over?

Re: Detroit Area and Michigan Rock Bands 60’s and 70’s

I’m a big fan of Rock Music from ‘68-‘73 Because they were my High School years ,and I remembered listening to a lot of Detroit Rock on WKNR-FM 100.3 in the late 60’s and hearing bands like The Rationals,Bob Seger System,MC 5 and Teagarden and Van Winkle do you remember what came out of Detroit and...

Re: Home theater system speakers - a mini-documentary!

I always buy my speakers from a guy selling 'em out of a white van in some parking lot.... :eek You know, for a day I was one of those "White Van" people.... Mostly Ginsu knives and laser enhanced photos and a long time ago. I'm dead serious about used gear though. Audiophiles are obsessive weirdos...

Re: Cartridge for SL1200

Ex-stereo salesman here. (Anybody remember the Stereoland chain?) Without hearing how the cartridge and the speakers sound together, it's tough to make a suggestion. A "bright" cartridge teamed with a neutral-sounding speaker might sound fine, but the same cartridge teamed with a "bright" speaker w...

Re: Home theater system speakers - a mini-documentary!

I'd take a look at used gear. It is still really tough to beat a NHT Super Zero and you can often get them for $100 on ebay.

Re: Tom Cruise issues PSA against motion smoothing

"Now if only some high-profile musicians would issue PSA's speaking out against the loudness war."

The VU meters in my old-time gear hardly move these days. Do you think they need oil?
