I forget her name, but the band Venus Hum has an awesome singer. Possibly the best I have ever heard, in fact.

If republicans would simply admit "We only care about what is good for big business in the short term, we don't give a damn about the environment.", I could accept that. That is a valid political position (albeit not one I agree with.) What bothers me is that they try to pretend like they do...

Though not without opinions or agendas, An Inconvenient Truth did speak clearly, responsibly, and truthfully.

It is possible to hear sounds "recorded" on ancient pottery as a result of the spinning of the potter's wheel. Probably a comparable level of fidelity.:)

I assume that tornadoes are a novelty there? They are quite common where I live.

Start by finding a pair of price-no-object speakers that you love. Then find some that sound as good for half the price. Next, find a pair that sound as good as these for half the price. Continue this process until you end up with something as good as $50,000 speakers for under $100.:)

Quite apart from danger to the speakers, it is dangerous to your ears (and theirs.)

LOL, Gang Wang. I don't mind letters like that. Phone calls really p*** me off, though (especially when they refuse to take your word that you have never heard of the person.) I used to get calls like that for somebody that once had my phone #.

Of course. If they could make us pay for the air we breathe, they would.:(

Oh, I didn't realize it was open-cockpit. Still safer than a motorcycle on wet or icy roads, though.

If the use of alternative fuels is not fully in place (including the infrastructure for distribution) when the oil runs out, we will be in major trouble. Yes, that is when the oil runs out, not if. Also, even if pollution from cars, factories, etc. is not significantly contributing to global...

Not to mention that motorcycles are fun in good weather, but suuuuck in bad weather.:eek:

While I have not heard those specific models, I have heard great sounding speakers from both companies. As Glock says, you have to listen for yourself.

I like their debut CD. I will probably buy their next one (assuming they do a next one.)

From time to time, I find myself in the mood for some weird music. My collection includes several CDs that qualify. Among them are: Future Sounds of London-Lifeforms Captain Beefheart-Trout Mask Replica Olivia Tremor Control-Cubist Castle Mr Oyster Head-self titled Butthole Surfers-Locust...

Good point. There are a lot of potential ecological crises worse than climate change. One is not having enough clean drinking water where it is needed. Another is deforestation (and the subsequent reduction of oxygen content in the air.) A third is pollution (some Chinese cities are already...

I am not at all sure that I will ever buy either one. A good DVD transfer looks/sounds plenty good enough to me, while a poor transfer would not show any benefit from the higher resolution. I also have a huge amount of $ invested in standard DVDs already. The final nail in the coffin is that I...

I saw it in the theater when it first came out. Silly entertainment. Not great, but not terrible either. (Like Waterworld, it aspired to be far better than it actually was.)

I have used (the same) speakers with and without spikes, and have never heard any difference.

Bush is doing an excellent job of destroying the US economy, without regard to global warming.
