Music Favorite songs (cont.)
RIP Jimmy Cliff. From Wiki: James Chambers (30 July 1944 – 24 November 2025), known professionally as Jimmy Cliff, was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady, reggae and soul musician. He is considered one of Jamaica's most celebrated musicians, and has been credited with helping to popularize reggae...- difalcojr

Music Cover songs versus the original track, which ones are better?
That's 3-1 for likes on Black Sabbitch by my count. :) I'm not a musician, though, so probably my vote may be weighted accordingly. I like it because it has that garage-band sound of rock, raw, and, though harmonica doesn't sound great, her voice makes up for it.- difalcojr

Great ebass playing
Yes, true, agree. I exaggerated. Just getting an equalized, flat amplitude output over the entire sound range would be nice. Trying to remember songs with good bass leads is difficult. Even the ones I thought had good bass sounds, did, but most all of it from the studio albums was too subdued...- difalcojr

Engineering Disasters
Lot of dam disasters. Biggest wavefront I've ever seen in this video: This is a fake video. Dam has not collapsed. Got fooled. Not as big as this one was supposed to have been, though, with no video of this event at failure. Wave generated from a landslide into the dam, the displacement...- difalcojr

Great ebass playing
Same with me. I like to hear the bass at about the same volume as the lead guitar, not low volume in the background, like it is in a lot of studio albums and bands, I think. Can't be too loud for me, bass. Bass is loud enough to hear on this one, could even be louder.- difalcojr

Obnoxious advertisements here
Yes, I cannot scroll up or down correctly now on the mouse with the new 'pull-up/downs' ads. Have to use the Page Up/Down key. I've gotten used to the ads like background noise, but they are everywhere onscreen. You may be able to get the ads you want if you have no choice but to get them. I...- difalcojr

Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?

Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?
Wait! I copied that from a Bing query. Oops, no Bing. Here's the google search: The phrase "I am older than her" is grammatically correct in informal English, but the formal, technically correct version is "I am older than she (is)". The correct choice depends on the context: use "her" for...- difalcojr

Well, lots of chords in early and later Beatles music, then, you are both right. :) They also brought so many different orchestra instruments into their music, even animal noises, anything. So versatile, musical. Here's another group of that time, great bass player too, John Entwistle. The...- difalcojr

Why do we spend so little time learning grammar in college?
The phrase "I am older than her" is grammatically correct in English. Some still might. At the UC's back when, a written entrance test was administered, and, those whose writing skill was sub-par, they then had to take a mandatory, additional English supplemental class, first thing after...- difalcojr

Cool Geology Pictures
And every photo in the adjacent geology thread "The secrets-of-prof-verschures-rosetta-stones." Though I would like a summary of the secrets, if possible, at this time. I need a graduate class in geology, otherwise. All those photos are spectacular.- difalcojr

Thank you, I'll check that album out too. And between those groups of early Beatles albums both of you liked were songs like "Baby's in black" and "I'm a loser" and, shortly after, the super creative Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour albums. Even after breaking up...- difalcojr

Every song on Revolver is great, proven by a million covers. Guess that's a requirement of a great album, every song great or very close. Beatles #1 rock/pop group of all time. So far, anyway. Here's a heavy bass. Jack Casady.- difalcojr
