the worst thing about that MC Gangsta record is that it was mastered with pre-emphasis iirc

I mean, fucking hell, people in "some are music trivia obsessives and some aren't" shocker - if he's seriously never come across a woman who is a music obsessive or at the very least "into music" then he needs to get out more.
This idea that women aren't interested in the technology behind the reproduction of music is utter horseshit, and I'm sure the likes of Anjali Dutt (My Bloody Valentine/Oasis), Susan Rogers (Prince), Lenise Bent & Linda Tyler (Steely Dan), not to mention the numerous female electronic producers around at the moment would all probably have something to say about that.

There are different ways to enjoy music. Getting into recording minutae is as valid as any other aspect but reeling off those details at someone and wondering why *they* aren't getting it...

Then again, I don't really expect anyone to talk about music offline the same way as they do online. I mean, there's a reason why places such as this exist. In my case, I hardly ever talk about music offline, if at all - there's a zillion other things I'd much rather talk about that are far more important, and this forum is enough to scratch my musical discussion itch.

I'm suspecting that even "the singer has a sexy voice" was a bit of a jab. Guy is obv wrong to generalize about women, partly for the reason that Turrican gives, but he mostly just seems like someone who genuinely has a hard time relating/connecting, based on that post.

I'm 52. I'm a music dork, like 85% of us here on this forum. Music history is important to me, and I enjoy discussing it with people.I was shopping at Trader Joe's today. While standing around at the sample table, "Do You Want To Dance" by Bobby Freeman came on the store music player. An older woman -I'd say in her 70s- was chatting to the server and said "Do you know who this is?". Me being All-Knowing, said "Yup! Bobby Freeman!". She said no, that it was Ritchie Valens. I gently said, well he may have recorded it, but Bobby Freeman did the hit version we are hearing. She told me no- it's Ritchie Valens. It's on his album. It was a hit. I said, that might be, but we are hearing Bobby Freeman. Then another patron got out his phone and pointed out it was actually Bobby Freeman. She refused to budge. "I was alive at the time. I was there. I remember his plane crash at the high school". I pointed out that yes it's a shame we lost 2 bright stars- Valens and Buddy Holly. She said no- he died in a crash by a high school. "I was alive at the time".I sighed and said I definitely was not there, and I didn't know about the other plane crash. Knowingly smiled at the guy with the cell phone and went on my way.Tuesday at 3:56 PMSammyJoe, DTK, paulmccartneyistheman and 6 others like this.
