I should be hooking up my new AVR.....but I'm feeling sentimental....giving props to my good 'ole AVRX4000....she has done me proud. lmao
Listening to Billy Joel - Streetlife Serenade....QUAD. I just can't believe how much I love this disc. Truly one of my favorites. Los Angelinos is a great song. Oh, and I'm sort of smitten with the new look SKIN on foobar...someone finally came out of the cellar and updated Darkone to work better with 4K and higher resolution laptops...LIKE MINE!!! Now I'm wondering if some of the weirdness with fonts was an incompatibility between my Dell and the Darkone skin... :yikes
I'm wondering if it's you being sentimental...or just not wanting to set up the new equipment...or maybe the Atmos speakers haven't arrived yet...I wonder if you have a tripod...that's what I used to set up Audyssey...but this one has 8 points of reference!...you can stop at 3....I got fired up watching this video clip

The Doobie Brothers - Live At Wolf Trap on BD-V in 5.1. This is an awesome concert, every Doobies fan should own it. Sounds fantastic and the blacks look sweet on the new OLED tv...

The Painter - Paul Anka (Quad)
a 'late era' Quad (and United Artists' only QS-encoded Quad LP release) from 1976
that never gets talked about by Quaddies online.. and blow me down but I've enjoyed it so much while recording in the Surround Master decode that i'm playing it all over again for the 2nd time in quick succession!
stylistically it comprises a number of real stonking powerhouse ballads, that he really belts out with all his heart (and lungs! ..far be it for little old nobody me to critique a legend.. but at times it feels like he may be "oversinging" a tad or rather overreaching himself/his vocal range, if you know what i mean but bloody hell does he give the tunes his all..! ) among all the big belting of the 'get yer lighters out' type singalong numbers there are a couple of deceiving songs that start slow and sultry but surprisingly turn into fun and funky toe-tapping uptempo numbers!
its almost worth checking out this album for his backing band if nothing else! the liners credit a veritable who's who of the creme de la creme of 70's session musicians; including Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Dean Parks, Jay Graydon, Joe Sample, Jim Gordon, Jim Horn... and the talent backing him is most evident throughout.
there's a rather neat use of the opening track ("you bring out the best in me")
with its catchy refrain used throughout the album, both during an instrumental track partway through and in a nifty reprise at the very end.
"you bring out the best in me, you do..."
:music
Paul Anka! My wife would love to hear him in quad...
We saw Anka in Vegas during the 90’s, several times at the Mirage and MGM Grand. Always a consummate entertainer with a smidge of musical history as he showcased songs he wrote for Sinatra and others.
Believe it or not we even enjoyed that ridiculous song “Having My Baby”, crazy as that sounds....
