  1. I agree with about everything here. With a new little one at home my wife got me a pair of Sennheiser HD 595 for christmas. They sound fantastic and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Most of my listening at home is to vinyl and I have got to say that it is very hard to beat the Klipsch Quartets I have. They were being discontinued in 1996 (I think) and I got them at great price. Anyway, I have been looking at new speakers for years, but just haven't been able to get rid of them. I think its the combination of the horn drivers and the passive woofer, I don't know. I digress....the sennhei
  2. Use the same system. My wife surprised me with Sennheiser HD595s for Christmas (as much a present for her and our new addition as me, me thinks) and I've been moving through that rotation pretty good the past two nights. Right now: Derek and the Dominoes - "Layla" Catfish Haven - "Devastator" Fleet Floxes - " Otis Redding - "At the Whiskey a Go Go" Elvis - "Christmas Album" Neil Young - Massey Hall 1971 The Band - "Music from the Big Pink" The band - "the Band" Faces - "Nod is as good as a Wink" John Lennon - "Imagine" Blue Mountain - "Midnight in MS" Cat Power - "Dark end of the Street" E
  3. Agreed Sooie! Of course, I misspell the title if a magazine about great southern writing. Ouch!
  4. Good chance to plug Oxfod American. Amazing magazine, that I believe is a quarterly now. Anyway, the Southern Music edition is always great (out on stands now, picture of the Killer on the cover, 10th anniversary edition and comes with two great CD's) and is how I found out about MMJ. This had to be 2000, and could have been before. Been enjoying their stuff ever since!
  5. Just to throw my 2 cents on this. In the 80's and 90's alot of the SEC/National Power houses were cherry picking the best players out of Louisiana, MS, and Georgia. When Saban came to LSU that was the first thing he told all of his assistant coaches, lock up the state and try to get a handful of national recruits. Basically the formula LSU has continued to use. Its my understanding that High School football in Tenn is no where near the level that is is in TX, MS, LA, AL, and FLA; and I have read that Tenn's inability to cherry pick from these states is one of the main reasons their progra
  6. I think you can go to every SEC fan base and ask them and get a differing opinion on who the "worst" fans are. I have never had nothing but fun at the games I've gone to at other stadiums. Good buddy of mine went to the SC game and had a wonderful time! Thanks for good luck vibes and for rooting for the good guys this weekend!
  7. Appreciate it! That is one thing I've really noticed since Les Miles has been at LSU, is we really play the whole game. I would love to see the number of comebacks we've had in the 4th quarter. Tommy Moffett, strength and conditioning coach, deserves as much or more of the credt actually. The LSU Pimps are pretty obnoxious, but they don't mean any harm and don't usually bother anyone. They do that for one away game a year. Glad they were nice to ya'll. tried to find the official box score, but this is the best i could do real quick: Post Game article SC had like -13 rushing yards i
  8. They replayed it twice on TV, and I told my wife I thought the ref made have forgot where he was for a second and decided to re-live the glory days. He threw a forearm no doubt about it. He may have been protecting himself add just reacted, but it was a forearm. Same ref blocked our linebacker on ya'lls first score. He still was beat, but may have caught him if that ref didn't throw such a good block. Thought it was a very hard fought game and was impressed with SC. Was really impressed with LSU's D in the second half. Sounds like you feel your o line is a little suspect, so maybe I sh
  9. HA...I don't post over there but check it out every once in a while. Pretty fanatical! Agreed on how tough the SEC is, those were just the very lean years for LSU fans....very lean! Good luck this weekend! Hope its a great game and we can both stay healthy!
  10. With College Football, paticularly SEC football, pretty hard pedicting a winner. Should be a good game Saturday Night. I will say that that I would not want to be playing this team coming off the loss they had last week at FLA. Of course, there's always the over rated argument and/or coming out flat two times in a row. BTW...not sure about the 94 USC gamecocks, but the 94 LSU Tigers were 1-2 when USC came to town and finished the year 4-7. I was a sophomore at LSU in 94, and I can promise you I never heard anyone say the words "no one gave us hope against" and "Curly Haulman's LSU Tigers
  11. Got tickets for them at Red Rocks in two weeks. Stoked!
  12. This topic should probably be amended to the last topic on Turntables, but I thought it desrved its on thread. A lot of us viny lovers have to deal with great record collections that aren't digitally transferrable, spending way too much money on vinyl and cd's, and or somewhat inferior turntables with USB outputs. This changed for me about two weeks ago. I'm a very proud owner of a Sumiko Pro-Ject Expression II and a Rotel 1062, which has an above average entry level phono stage. This rig has been more than I needed for my vinyl collection and I could not be happier with it. However, y
  13. Wondering if anyone might wanto to hook a business-computer-having-no-torrenting brother up on a B&P of this show? It would be greatly appreciated. Will
  14. What a show and such a beautiful venue!
  15. My tickets are at Will Call and i will have an extra if anyone knows someone that needs one. Orch, lift 1 Couple of questions for anyone that might be familair with the area: 1.) Any where to get a pre-show cold one near the center? 2.) Considering traffic from Denver, would you leave earlier to give more time but put you right in the middle of rush hour; or leave later. I live in Stapleton and was considering leaving around 6:00 PM. Thanks. Will
  16. I have not been to stores all over the country, but I have been to Waterloo and I would put T&S in that Category. Amazing Staff and an unbelieveable selection. Great in stores all the time, and they record and release alot of them on their own. Doesn't hurt that it one complex you have Tattered Cover Book Store (amazing independent book store), Twist and Shout, Neighborhood Flix (Indy movie theatre with great food and bar), Encore (upscale restaurant), and a good local burrito joint.
  17. I was at this in store and can attest to jason and the band firing on all cylinders! I was standing by the board and actually got to put the headphones on, sounded great. Goddamn Lonely Love and Into the Mystic sounded amazing. Looking forward to this....
  18. Sept 16, 2003. I was trying to get info on the Auditorium shows and when I couldn't make it I found this place and Donna hooked me up with the shows. To this day, the only message board I believe I have ever joined, and I try to check it every day. Have laughed harder, been exposed to more differing opinions, and been turned on to more good music than I could have ever dreamed of. During Hurricane Katrina, there were a lot of people on here that offered there thoughts and support, and that will forever endear Via Chicago to me. It was a different and smaller community 5 years ago, but i
  19. These are amazing! Thanks everyone. Can anyone re-post night 3? I some how missed that. Thanks in advance.
  20. Some of the most unbelieveable stories from Hurricane katrina came from those Dr's and Nurses who stayed behind at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. Some of the dumbest to! Probably the dumbest was the fact that the emergency generators of the cities trauma hospital were in the basement. A city that is about 9 feet below sea level at that location and who's main risk is flooding. Sorry for the tanegent/ thread hijac. My sister and brotehr in law live in Starkeville, MS and I couldn't get in touch with them yesterday. She finally called yesterday evening. Hope everyone is safe
  21. The funniest part about that was the article I read was "ESPN Confirms", I'm going to hold out about even considering this until I hear something from a more reliable source. I'm sure OSU has plenty of talent to fill that spot. Hell our starting senior QB hasn't been healthy since VaTech, missed the SEC Champ game, and who knows if he'll be healthy enough for the NC game. Honestly...I would love nothing more than for both teams to be completely healthy and ready to go for Jan 7th.
  22. Pretty hard getting anything passed you 1/423. You may get back to loathing the tigers. It is pretty nice hearing some of the good things these kids do. Excellent work getting that take home point out of the story.
  23. Seems like we're always hearing about the bad decisions and pathetic actions of some athletes, just thought ya'll might like to see this. From what I could find this is most certainly true. GEAUX TIGERS
