The concept of a classical composer computer war on a BBS boggles the
mind.

RE #53
I agree, Mozart's compositions are no better than the little bird
in "Peanuts" could come up with by walking across a piece of paper
with ink on his claws.
However, Tchiakovsky rules, dude!

i'm currently listening to debussy's etudes, played by mitsuko uchida. the
playing is splendid, but my first impression is that these etudes lack the
lyrical intensity of chopin (my favorite composer). nonetheless, this is an
interesting disc.

lnf, the text collector Grex uses to prompt you for your response doesn't
have any word-wrap functions so you need to hit return every 70 characters
or so or your response will either look funny or get garbled on many people's
screens..

Since the partition bbs files reside on was full, I deleted some
old items.. So far I've deleted:
3 - "The Sounds that Fill My Head" (the original monster item, not the
current one.. long idle and too huge)
41 - "NWA Cap" (both of these were short-term items that
42 - "REM Video" don't make much sense to keep around)
37 - "Dead Head Computer Hotline" (big, and not active in a long time..)
9 - "Help! Identify Crimean War song. (all small, but already long
11 - "Does "ska" really mean ... frozen and scheduled for deletion)
12 - "Metallica
16 - "Audiophile accessory exchange
31 - "Bill Graham Dies at 60
Apologies for sticking this in item 1, but I forgot about item 61 until I'd
already started entering it..

I've killed item 4, too, the concert information hotline. Since all of
the events announced in it were over months ago, this seemed like a prudent
thing to do. If we feel the need for a concert announcements item we can
always start another..

I like to make my own music.
btw: What do you do with a dead compact disk? Vinyl never failed like this.

Well, I've hundreds of vinyl recordings and they haven't gotten
"scratchier." Then again, I take exceptionally good care of them,
never letting the "uninitiated" touch them. They are played only
on a high end turntable.
"Dead" vinyl records were for years recycled into "new" records.
You had to buy imports for new vinyl. (That's here in the USA.)
How did my CD die? Good question. I cared for it as I do my
records. But, one day in my high end CD player, it simply began
to skip uncontrolably. (No problem with other CDs.) The same
problem occured when I played it in other CD players.
I may not have mentioned this, but I am a musician: brass,
percussion and vocals. To my ear, while nothing is better than
live music, good vinyl on a good turntable still delivers more
music than any CD/player combination.

Keats, many high-end audio nuts have shared redwood's opinion
for years. "The Absolute Sound" (the nuttiest of the audio
magazines) wouldn't even discuss CD players until the market
forced them to.

well (and i state this with all possible respect), nutty is the word. there's
always noise due to the contact between needle and vinyl or between tape and
play head. that's no secret or anything.

no, there's also the part where the vinyl warps from exposure to, say,
an open window on a sunny day...

Personally I prefer CDs, but apparently for some people they just do not
sound normal. Somewhat analogously, often if I'm listening to music through
headphones I detect distortions of pitch. For a long time I thought it was
the music (& that headphones just made me notice it), but I've been told that
this is not uncommon & that the distortion is due to objective factors of some
sort involved in the phones. (All you tech types may now jump all over me...)
keats, the factors you mention may be more easily ignored or avoided than
something inherent in the medium. Since I don't hear it, I can't judge.

Yeah, well I've been a performer for years and digital still sucks. Even
Sony has admitted recently that the technology has to be completely
reengineered.

sony's not really a pioneer in digital or audio, and their two attempts
to steal away those markets with beta video and digital audio tape have
been notorious and deserved flops. they make excellent equipment for host-
ing those media, but i'd hardly look to sony to predict the technology
future.
