"Legend" has it that they've been playing together for 15 years. They have a normal cover band and apparently they double booked themselves at the same club on the same night (LOL) so they came up with this crazy experimental band in order to be able to play both gigs. They never guessed the crazy experimental band would be the one to take off.
So I used to work with this guy and he was very knowledgeable about music. He had a friend in high school that insisted that Ric Ocasek sang lead on EVERY Cars song including Drive, Just What I Needed, Moving in Stereo, Let’s Go - among others. When my friend asked him why in the video for Drive it showed Ben Orr (the correct lead singer) doing the singing, he still doubled down and said it was Ocasek doing the singing, lol.
Was listening to Lightnin' Hopkins when this magically appeared in my playlist... The algo is wild af.
Told my wife we needed to renew our vows just so I could sing this to her in front of our closest friends and family.

I’m listening to my new amp on my 40 year old speakers. Is Roon or qobuz worth the coin? I thought I’d be happy just streaming Apple Lossless from Apple Music because we use that family plan thingy of all their services. Hate to pay for yet ANOTHER streaming service, but I’m also intrigued. Any of you music peeps got an opinion?
My days of audiophile-ready listening are long gone. Still have all my old vinyl, cd's, & cassettes, but mainly dig for old live YouTube footage of my favorite bands of yesteryear. Listen to Pandora & Spotify in car. Had to Google Roon & qobuz, may check them out.
Do you have a local library? You can use quobuz streaming with your local files, this is “value” proposition. You can also hand the signal off to HQPlayer for DSP and upsampling to DSD. You will being adding a lot of complexity (and expense) for very little sonic improvement. Such a setup is resource intensive and requires a bit of technical knowledge. If all this sounds like fun then it is for you. The interface is the gold standard but can be glitchy. I’ve been using this playback chain for 7 years or so…Maybe @basso wants to chime in…
