Van Halen: Van Halen | aubullience - August 25, 2024

I can't say it better than Downunderman did. IMO his characterization of it is accurate in all respects. And oh yes, misspent youth!

Paul Simon: There Goes Rhymin' Simon | Downunderman - Yesterday 07:18 pm

Hello. Hate to bicker with you....but if you will peruse the back of the actual sacd and visit the sites that sell this disc, you will notice a very small disclaimer ...

801: 801 Live | Downunderman - August 23, 2024
