Marc Ribot at Le Poisson Rouge

May 19, 2009

For a long time, I wasn't sure if I would go to the show. Finally, on the day of the show, I decided I would go. I made the right decision. Marc Ribot, celebrating his 55th birthday at <a href="http://lepoissonrouge.com/">Le Poisson Rouge</a>, was something to remember. Little did I know he had played every night of the week, performing old and new material with several different bands at various venues throughout New York City.

Musical Fidelity Rip Off

Submitted by Welshsox on

Hi

Why do companies think just because they provide a 1000 watt amp that they can charge stupid money ? MF and Bryston are both guilty of ripping cutsomers off for the higher power amplifiers. The extra manufacturing costs for a 1000 watt amp over say a 250 watt run to a few hundred dollars, u need a higher spec PSU and some more output devices, at best i could see $1000 - $2000 worth of extra cost, why does that equate to a selling price of $20,000.

We are being ripped off and the Titan amp does not deserve to sell, this is a blatant scam at its core level.

And later in <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/things_are_so_bad/">the night</a>, I listened to Archie Shepp's <i>Three For A Quarter, One For A Dime</i>, which I understand is the darker, angrier, wilder side of a performance held at San Francisco's old Both/And Club on February 19, 1966.

And earlier in <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/safe_sex_of_the_highest_order… night</a>, I listened to an old Yazoo title: <i>St. Louis Blues (1929-1935): The Depression</i>, which has some amazing, moving cuts from Henry Townsend, Charley Jordan, Georgia Boyd, Peetie Wheatstraw, and Hi Henry Brown. Such pure, raw sounds are timeless, and are perhaps especially meaningful today.
