What does an internet connected receiver do, play Spotify, stream terrestrial radio or Sirius?

Yes, all of the above. Marantz NR1200 AV Receiver, 2-Channel Home Theater Amp, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Heos + Alexa, Immersive Movies, Music & Gaming, Auto Low Latency Mode for Xbox One, Smart Home Automation.

It does it through the HEOS system built into it.

I'd suggest the Technix 32tY multi-pronged adapter with a 34 MgHz Kevlar interface with the iStore feature that allows streaming at up to 56 Ghz/millisecond as long as you have the ZenTrox 16 guage wire.

This setup works equally as well with 18 gauge wire, although the throughput speed seems to decline by approximately 0.05 percent

definitely adds to the Swedish sludge metal experience.

Anyone see Eddie Vedder cover One by U2 at the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to U2? One of my all time favorite songs and one of my all time favorite vocalists.  

a tune off of Lucinda's new record. She's had a tough year or two. This is gonna be a good record.

Opening act at the magic bag in Ferndale.  My kid is a fan of the the "headliner"... Bass drum of death.

who'd ya go see?

It was something... Dead Tooth/Bass drum of Death.

Dead tooth had a saxophone in a modern punk(ish?) type groove. Bass Drum aren't bad really. Driving punky 3 piece. Don't know if I'm going to intentionally groove on them any day soon, but it was good enough for me to sober up for the drive home. Lol

Bark bark bark.

My daughter is listening to Pearl Jam so that makes me happy.

Here ya go, Bob, a little bluegrass to stir your Carolina blood.

Never was a fan of blondes, but she's always spiked my interest.

I always kinda liked her but couldn't put my finger on it.  Now I think maybe she seems in modern parlance to be "on the spectrum" a little bit.  Not a turnoff.

No matter what, one more great excuse to dive into the "Old Grey Whistle Test" and Midnight Special" archives.

goddamn Jason Isbell did it again. I'm gonna beat his ass next time I see him.

muthafucker.

Jesus fucking christ, Isbell. I ain't supposed to be crying this early in the day. Fuck.

I gained a little more respect for Blondie in a broader cultural sense after watching the CBGB movie. I found it very entertaining.

Still wonder if she almost got abducted by Ted Bundy

Kinda fascinating story about how Duane Alman just crashed (like in a pup tent, not a motorcycle) into the music business.

Lucinda Williams

Nope. I'm in the hellscape of what is called "Florida" on a family vacation.

Oh my fucking god. Sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers.

I'll give a write-up of the show next week.

Happy Birthday Patti.
