SoCalBert replied to FairMagnolia416's discussion 'where to get older country MP3s? other than iTunes'
Why would that be cheating? It's even legal for your own use.
But if you are serious the USB turntables are not the way to go. With those you need to rely on the turntable to digitize your music rather than choose the software…
SoCalBert commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'In Linda Chorney's defense'
As a former NdB subscriber, I thought we pretty much took it for granted that the Grammys were irrelevant.
SoCalBert replied to Brian Lovely's discussion 'Star Room Boys: Where Are They Now?'
Brian, I am glad you asked that because I have wondered the same thing over the years. I don't even remember where I stumbled across them but I can see that one SRB CD I have once belonged to a library in…
SoCalBert replied to declan culliton's discussion 'Christmas Albums?'
Buck Owens' Christmas album is probably my favorite.
SoCalBert commented on No Depression's blog post 'It's year-end list/reader poll time - What's your Top 10 of 2011?'
Okay here goes. What a year. It seems like all my favorites had a release this year and I some others won me over. I guess further diliberation would be futile, though there would be some re-ordering, no doubt.
So my…
SoCalBert replied to Mike Fitzgerald's discussion 'How do you store music?'
I just have a couple extra terabyte hardrives that I make a fresh backup onto every month or so. The important part is to keep those hard drives unhooked from you computer in case something bad crawls up out of the intertubes.
SoCalBert commented on Ryan Mifflin's blog post 'Best of 2011 (So Far)'
Okay-- but please excuse the extra apostrophe that jumped out at me as I glanced at my own writing. (It's/its) Rats. Not bad though for a Blackberry though, I guess.
SoCalBert commented on Ryan Mifflin's blog post 'Best of 2011 (So Far)'
As often as not, so-called tribute albums make me skeptical that they are actually tributes rather than a self serving project for the supposed tributers. I'll reserve judgment on this one since I really don't know what to make of it. I…

In case anyone hasn't already posted this. Artwork and track list on this blog:

SoCalBert commented on doug heselgrave's blog post 'Something so.....Beautiful from Paul Simon'
I gave a listen to a couple of the tunes and must admit it sounds interesting. Can't really listen to the guy without thinking about some of the finer points of this entertaining article…
SoCalBert commented on swt's blog post 'eMusic April'
My understanding is that Louie Bluie has never been released on DVD. A real shame . . . . wait-- scratch that. It just occurred to me that I had not checked in a while! And there it is put on DVD in 2010.
It was…
SoCalBert commented on modernacoustic's blog post 'Lyrically Speaking: Lucinda Williams' "Drunken Angel"'
I also was unfamiliar with Blaze Foley before Car Wheels came out. But I have since become a bit of a posthumous fan and recommend checking some of his recordings out. I would caution, though, that much like his friend Townes Van Zandt,…
SoCalBert commented on No Depression's blog post 'No Depression Readers Poll and Featured Bloggers' Favorite Albums of 2010'
Great job here. Some interesting lists and a semi-surreal discussion as a bonus. I think I am gonna check out that Glossary album. I
missed it somehow.
Reid Townsend, JTE is the real deal. No doubt dad's name got…

No Shinyribs?
SoCalBert commented on Shipcote's blog post 'Not another bloody cd of the year list'
Shinyribs was my number one. I'll have to check out the Otis Gibbs CD. That one snuck by me.
SoCalBert commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Americana Music Association announces 100 best Americana albums of 2010'
If there was one thing we could all agree on here, I thought it would be that "best" does not equate to most played on the radio. Interesting list all the same.
