If Journey or Foriegner comes on a channel that I am listening to on my XM, I immediately change it

Don't stop... believing...
My rule is never stick your arm in the mouth of a hungry crocodile.
HA! Youre listening to XM 46 too?
FYI: I have yet to see the Pixies on any channel here.

In a town with out a name, in a heavy down pour, though cast his own shadow through the back stage door... like a trip to the past, that day in the rain, that one guitar , made his whole life change....

i've been trying for years to find soul asylum's cover of that song...apparently it was on the UK pressing of _Clam Dips and Other Delights_ but i've yet to find a copy.
I have never heard of that cover, I will start looking too.... I like SA...narlus said:
depends on how much time i have to kill.H8R said:
Sometimes I wonder if you search for good, or search for the sake of searching...
seriously, though - since the advent of the mp3 file, record stores have gotten a lot less interesting.
maybe my ears are fried from too much sound, but @ 192 variable bit rate, i can't tell a difference. there's an ABX plug-in for foobar which i should try if i get the time to test it properly, but the fact is that i've got all my crap already ripped to mp3, so the chances of me repeating what took over a year to do is miniscule.H8R said:
however, if i had to do it over again (ie, had the computer i have now, and the squeezebox audio streamer), i would rip to FLAC.

FYI: If you are *seeing* Pixies while *listening* to the radio you really need to check the labels on your cholesterol meds carefully. Somebody might have slipped up and given you a prescription for lsd instead. It's a minor mistake, happens all the time.
I can't recall the article, it was forever ago, I think it was in Mix magazine, but it had something to do with the jaggedness, or "sawtooth" of the frequencies produced by digital sound. Higher bandwidth digital sound still has this, yet at a much less perceptible amount. The jaggedness has an unconcious psycho-acoustic effect, and is overall less pleasureable to listen to than analog recordings. Analog has a much smoother wave.narlus said:
Or something along those lines.
All I know is I still love the way my LP's and tapes sound.
You can SEE who is playing when you scroll the channels. If something tickles my fancy, I will stop and LISTEN to itjdschall said:
there's no doubt that a digital waveform will have discrete bits like you describe, unlike the smooth waveform of an analog device. however, it's diminishing returns as you bump up the sample rate; 44.1kHz should be pretty hard to tell a difference to most people.H8R said:I can't recall the article, it was forever ago, I think it was in Mix magazine, but it had something to do with the jaggedness, or "sawtooth" of the frequencies produced by digital sound.

Haha...yeah, I hear that. Sometimes XM can go off the deepend a bit. I'm partial to Ethel myself (and I like Bluesville in the evening).luken8r said:
