And....

AC/DC is giving a free concert in NYC the day after they are inducted into the HOF. It's their only show of the year. Fans have to win tickets on the radio, etc. Uh, hello, anyone listening out there in Police-land???? Sounds like a good idea to me. Maggie

Hall fo fame
by Kinetic Kid 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

Hey everyone ! Itès been a while! I just donèt understand that there isnèt much coverage on the hall of fame, especially concerning our band The Police. I was hoping to find some stuff on them, considering the fact that they are going to be together on stage for the first time in a while. I need to know more about whatès going on with them... Any leads!? "Too much information, going through my brain..." In my case not enough ! Kinetic Kid __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I know this was posted a LONG time ago but it got buried in my e-mail box until now......

Remember tho that the true DVD-Audio stream on the disc has to be played via analog hookup much like SACD is. Plus the Dolby/DTS track is not much higher up in resolution than standard CD.

Its one thing to have extras and such for a DVD Video title. But honestly for audio stuff, I want the audio quality to be the priority first and foremost on the disc. Now yeah DVD-Audio does a good job but SACD in my opinion has the upper hand as far as quality is concerned. I don't mind extras as long as they are worthwhile, but when I'm buying a DVD-A/SACD - the thing I'm most interested in asides from the album being worth owning is the sound quality. I've even bought a few albums that I've never heard of before on a whim and have grown to be favorites of mine (ie: Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters" on SACD, REM's "Automatic For The People" on DVD-A). > > > Plus the > > fact that SACD is capable of allowing both the standard CD > > plus SACD versions on one disc (the new Rolling Stones > > remasters for instance are hybrid CD/SACD discs). > > And as I've said, current DVD-A discs also include Dolby Digital / > DTS > versions allowing playback on DVD Video players - available for as > little as Â£59 (Around $100) What's the cheapest SACD player again? > > I'll agree to disagree. Cheaper doesn't always equal better (ie: Apex). I only payed $129 for my current Sony DVD/SACD player tho so the little extra in my opinion was well worth every cent. :) Oh... and wake me up when Peter Gabriel's "Up" is on DVD-A... or Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon." Both are coming out on SACD at the end of March - hybrid CD/SACD discs that is. Angel C.

Grammies/Clash
by foxie 21 Feb '03

21 Feb '03

dave grohl just got added to the Elvis/Boss/Tony Kamal line-up. it should be interesting. springsteen is a big fan of the clash. the only depressing thing about it all is that it took the passing of the great joe strummer to get the clash recognition. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Don't let the Door hit you on the ass on the way out

On his message board, Ian says Stewart is officially no longer with the Doors. Probably a good thing, given that the most publicity they've gotten recently is the lawsuit. Maggie
