    About to cancel YouTube Music and sign up for Spotify. Pros and cons?

    If you used the ability to upload your own music in Google Play Music then you may consider Apple Music. I'm not an apple guy at all but like Apple Music for this reason. As far as I know it is the only service that allows uploads since Google went away. If you like curated playlists and...

    First trailer for "Magnum P.I." reboot

    When people quit watching reboots, they will quit making them. There are a lot of new shows available to watch, many more than ever before. Many of them are excellent, between Netflix, Amazon, and cable there are many more original shows than the normal person could possibly watch. I don't get...

    Strange phenomenon with my Google Pixel phone, and fair warning

    I used a magnet on my HTC One M8 for this exact reason and the speaker soon became nearly unusable with static. The magnet may not have been the cause, but I'll never do it again.

    Favorite Bourbon

    Well it looks like Old Grand-Dad 114's days are numbered. Check out the end of the third paragraph. And for those that don't know his name Chuck Cowdery is a very respected name in the bourbon community. http://chuckcowdery.blogspot.com/2016/10/old-grand-dad-discontinues-175-l-size.html

    Walking Dead Season 7

    I'm usually not one to get caught up emotionally with fictional characters , but that was one disturbing show. My first thoughts were exactly like yours, Negan cannot die a grizzly death soon enough. I was cringing at the thought of having to wait an entire season for his character to die. I...

    Favorite Bourbon

    I've never seen OGD 114 in my neck of the woods and have never tasted it, but it gets a LOT of love from the bourbon internet community. So much so that I worry it will suffer the same fate as Weller bourbon, although with no ties to the Van Winkle line maybe it will be spared.

    Favorite Bourbon

    First off, this is a great thread! Recently went back and re-read from the beginning, it's like a time capsule. In the 10 years since this thread was started a lot has changed in the bourbon world. Pappy Van Winkle wasn't mentioned until post #62 and was talked about like any other regular...

    looking to get into some blues music, any suggestions where to start?

    If you like Stevie Ray, check out his older brother's band the Fabulous Thunderbirds. The first four, before the hits, are the bluesiest (if that's a word).

    looking to get into some blues music, any suggestions where to start?

    Buddy Guy "Damn Right I've Got the Blues". Probably not too hard to find used, and you can't go wrong with Buddy.

    Record Cleaning: Developing the Best Possible Methods

    I took Ken's post not to mean you were offended but the people posting the "negative crap" earlier in the thread. If "closing" the thread means it gets deleted, then I agree locking it now would make sense. If "closing" just means locking it then I say let it continue.

    Record Cleaning: Developing the Best Possible Methods

    For what it is worth, I thought your request was fine. There is a lot of information in this thread, and more than once the information changed or was tweaked (example: first Vince said 5% ISO was recommended, then he later said up to 15% was probably OK.) Also people were posting a lot of...

    Wood glue method of cleaning vinyl

    To the people criticizing the 24 hour time to clean a record. You do realize you don't have to spend the entire 24 hours watching the glue dry, right? You can do other stuff like sleep, eat, listen to previously cleaned records or even clean other records.

    Using ENDUST spray to clean records?

    Here is the ingredient list from their website. Until I knew what each ingredient did to vinyl I wouldn't spray it on my records. Just my opinion. Ingredient - Purpose Water - Solvent Mineral Oil - Solvent Isoparffin - Solvent Propane - Propellant Fragrance - Fragrance Hexoxyethanol - Solvent...

    Record Cleaning: Developing the Best Possible Methods

    I should add that the percentages I chose were based on Vince's suggestions of between 5% & 10% IPA, and .5% Triton for an initial deep clean. All the records I will be cleaning are my original collection that haven't seen a turntable in probably three decades or thrift shop & garage sale...
