Theakstons Old Peculiar. Dark, strong and has a hint of dandilion and burdock to it. Next time you're in Yorkshire, Ray, allow me to introduce you to some of the world's greatest beers (they're not generally referred to as 'ales' in the country of their birth, outside of London).

I used to drink Old Peculiar at the Harbor Inn in The Flats, Cleveland.  Now THAT'S a taste you remember!


......um yeah, about Brian's new album........

Ray, I still have one pair of JBL L-100 studio monitors and one pair of 4311's that I bought around 1973. They've been sitting in a closet for years, but back in the 70's I had a Marantz receiver/amp (w/ the gyro wheel) driving them and they sounded great. I can imagine what a Mac (or Carver) amp sounded like hooked up to them. I need to find new brown or orange foam grill covers for them because they just evaporated over time.....

Mikie; how is the sound on the 4311 's ? Are they bookshelves ?  The 4320's were mammoth ; three feet by three feet. I bet the Marantz receiver/amp could drive them ; before I got the McIntosh stuff as there were economic limitations on my wallet at that time, I was powering the 4320's with a Marantz and it wasn't bad. I changed the grill covers on the 4320's twice before the ocean got them !

Ray, the 4311 was a bookshelf studio monitor, very close to the sound of the made-for-consumer L-100's which were very popular for a long time in the 70's. Both were made in Glendale Cali. The 4311 had the same crossover and drivers (mounted closer together) except the woofer was tied directly to the amp, which gave it a little brighter and punchier sound and better imaging.

Mikie, you can get great original looking L100 Quadrex foam grill inserts from Sculpted Foam Innovations on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-JBL-L100-CENTURY-QUADREX-FOAM-GRILLE-INSERTS-L-100-/271556575346?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item3f3a088072.  They are available in the original factory colors of Russet Brown, Burnt Orange, and Ultra Blue for $150 + shipping.  A few months ago I brought my L-100's back to life with a new pair of Ultra Blue inserts, replacing the original and more sedate brown grilles, figuring the ultra blue would give me a cool retro 70's look, although I must admit that the reaction to the ultra blue from my wife and other females has been rather tepid, my saving grace being that those speakers are in the family room and not the living room.

Ray, yeah, those 4320's put out thunderous bass from two 15 inch woofers per pair, and four in Brian's set up!  I'm sort of disappointed but not surprised to hear that Brian has gone for a more sedate in-wall set up, but that's what all the designers are pushing today.  Maybe another pair of 4320's at home would inspire him to make that rock n roll album he's been talking about for years!  For sure a nice pair of 4320's would be hard to find today.  The last time I saw a pair was about 20 years ago at the home of a guy who had personally known Jim Lansing and was restoring and reselling classic JBL's, which filled his house and garage, with many of them being shipped to Japan.  Another JBL two way speaker with 15 inch woofers and horn loaded tweeters from the era is the L200 Studio Master.  Not sure if they use the exact same drivers, and I've not heard them so as to offer an opinion on their sound compared to the 4320's.  The L200's were sold by the JBL consumer division and are somewhat similar in size to the 4320's.  If you're interested, here's some spec sheet comparison info for the L200's and 4320's - http://www.lansingheritage.org/html/jbl/specs/home-speakers/1973-l200.htm  and  http://www.jblpro.com/pub/obsolete/4320.pdf.



CM, thanks very much for this information! I will definitely look into this. Gives me another reason to pull my speakers out and rejuvenate them with new grille inserts. My original ones were Russet Brown, but I might spring for the Burnt Orange ones this time. I use to play all of my vinyl through my L-100's in the 70's and 80's as they were built for Rock & Roll. Great bass and good mid range. I bought the pedestals for them at the time so they were suspended off the floor and against the wall. They obviously don't sell them in the U.S. anymore but I heard you can still get them out of Japan, including original parts.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

With all the good beer recommendations so far, I wanted to offer one for the whiskey drinkers. This is terrific whiskey, among the best if not the best of its kind I've ever had. I've had it mixed in a Manhattan, rocks, etc...but the best way by far is to sip it straight. This is WhistlePig, straight rye 100 proof bottled in Vermont. Fantastic.

I tie it into the thread because as the photo shows, I'm low on the one bottle but still have a full bottle waiting. And I'm planning to make some of it last until whenever this new album gets released, and I can pour a glass for the listening session.  Smiley

No, but I now know a lot more about beer.

I'll still have another two and a half years to wait before I'll be able to buy any for myself.

And at the rate this album has been progressing... it'll be right on time for my first legal purchase.

?uestlove collaborator D'Angelo shares a lot of "reclusive genius" traits with Brian Wilson.  The drumming on his album "Voodoo" is so in the pocket that it's part of the fabric.  Yeah, would love to see ?uestlove do some session work with Brian.  Can you imagine the groovy version of "Shortenin' Bread" they could come up with?  Afro

The frustrating thing is I'll try a new or different brew, then forget the name! I guess there is a joke in there somewhere.

One import I really enjoyed was Geffel Kolsch, and I wondered how it works in the actual country of origin when judging these beers. Like the Geffel Kolsch, I thought it was a great brew, but how is viewed in Germany?

Well, the "Kölsch" style of brewing is the favorite beer type in Cologne, and is only brewn there, but outside many people don't consider it worth drinking. As it seems to get stale very quickly, it is served in unusually small glasses, very thin ones called "poles" - you know, like telegraph poles. I only have one friend who loves Kölsch, but I don't know if the Gaffel brand is one of those Kölsch brands that he likes or not.

Kölsch is not my kind of beer, however, my favorite one served in pubs here is called "Staropramen dark", a Czech beer.

I love Kölsch! As well as Krombacher, Bitburg, and other German light coloured beers - their colour is such that they sometimes, under the right lighting conditions, seem to be luminescent, radiate light themselves.

Others: Bavarian stuff (e.g. Erdinger, and a couple the names of which I forgot, probably due to drinking too much of them).

I like Krombacher dark, a friend of mine is really into Bitburg, but the Erdinger beers I think are all wheat beers, which I can't get into. I like the dark Bavarian beers like Löwenbräu dark or König Ludwig dark.

I have no idea what you mean with "light coloured beers" though.

OMG, they have some crazy new Brian Wilson clips on Youtube. I hadn't looked in awhile...

"And Marilyn Wilson is the former wife of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, whom she says will never be the same again because of drugs."

WOW! What an introduction...
