In the past, it seemed like shuffle on large playlists (1000-2000 songs) would only play limited tracks. I used to use manual sorting methods to trick it into playing other parts of the list! Recently, it seems like opening a list and hitting shuffle now plays a larger segment of the full list. Am I just imagining it or has it improved for you all too?

I’m finally thinking of taking the dive into the world of 4K and noticed how few options there are for players. Why is this? If 4K is the de facto best quality and so many are buying the films, I’m surprised there aren’t more players available. I’m leaving towards the Panasonic 420 btw since I have a ton of standard Blu Rays.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted and mocked, but being new to the area, it’s shocking to me how loud cars and motorcycles have taken over the quality of life in this fine city. That’s not even including the rampant speeding on North/3rd Streets. Have people complained and the police just do not care? Our entire neighborhood has “Please Slow Down” signs when some patrol cars and tickets would actually make a difference. Like in most cities. Is this just part of living here? Imagine how peaceful the town could be otherwise.

I caught the free first track last night on You Tube that Nugs kindly shares for each webcast and it seemed like it was completely remastered from the original airing. It looked and sounded incredible! Anyone else check it out?

Do we know if they are doing another run of this book? Looks like it came out again recently and is now back ordered again. I had it ordered from evil Amazon but they removed it from my orders which is weird.

Looks like you can’t buy this from Ryan anymore but it’s getting a larger release on red vinyl. Interesting! Found this great price on it too.

Not much else to say but watching this again on the Criterion Channel reminds me that it may very well be his best work. For a director known for being abstract and “weird”, he happened to make one of the best films ever about human beings and family. Simply a beautiful film that moves me to tears multiple times. Truly a masterpiece.

I shouldn’t be surprised like when he toured with Mavis Staples and never once had her sing with him. But such a missed opportunity. He’s frustrating sometimes!

Just bought a nice new TV and want to upgrade from my old standard DVD trilogy set. I don’t have a 4K player so if you had to pick a Blu Ray set, would you go with the Restoration set or the 50th? I’ve read some felt the colors were closer to the original vision on the Restoration.

SSIA. The energy and Jerry’s inventive solos on this tune in ‘82-‘83 rival most versions I’ve heard in subsequent years. The song became a bit more “traditional” and Jerry toned down those atonal crazy solos he was laying down early on the song’s journey. Hell, I’d be thrilled with a fan edit of every Throwing Stones solo from ‘82-‘83 as they’re always a highlight of those shows!

We have mice in the house. Anyone have any recommendations for affordable exterminators in the area? Thanks!
