So you bought the MQA download did you? Shouldn't be difficult to find where you purchased it from.

 

Mani.

The internet?

Wow. 

Doesn't matter where he got them from. Neither bears any resemblance whatsoever to music.

 

One is the sort of stuff you hear  during the free  'entertainment night' on an extremely cheap holiday in the 'Costa Del Sol'.

 

As for the other - OMG she's on a crusade! As of course we can see from the title. 

"(It) bring us all together as a people. That's what I hope to do. You can't stop me. You can't break me. I'm too loving. These songs are going to change the world."^[6][7] Tweedy described the message of the album: "I’ve always thought of art as a political statement in and of itself—that it was enough to be on the side of creation and not destruction. But there is something that feels complicit at this moment in time about not facing what is happening in this country head on."

I'm definitely not pro MQA but in your other thread you stated:

 

"We listened to approx. 50 albums where we confirmed there was both an MQA version, and an official 24 bit digital download  and where we could confirm the mastering was the same. "

 

And I asked for a list of these 50 albums that you had confirmed were " both an MQA version, and an official 24 bit digital download  and where we could confirm the mastering was the same"

 

I'm not sure how asking this question puts me in the lynch mob. I just wanted to know exactly how you knew they were from the same master, for all 50 albums?

 

50 then. Real easy. Now he suggests 2 and couldn't find one of them. Are we actually supposed to believe this stuff?

Let's see how many of you Pro MQA or "Let's give MQA a chance" posters are willing to STEP UP TO THE PLATE

and buy the downloads and do the comparisons via your Tidal sub, or via a 30 day Tidal free trial.

 

I will be waiting.

They have to be MQA downloads of music we enjoy first as you usually have to pay for downloads..

 

Other than streaming (and no even Tidal has much MQA stuff) which isn't 'yours' to play on any box and  via any software you want, finding any 'normal' music  on MQA to download is quite difficult.

 

And of course  none of us like  all  'normal' music anyway. Handel is fine, Ed Sheeran is not actively irritating, and Beyoncé is crap. (Just as example.)

 

And as for that garbage you recommended in your initial post, words fail me..

While I agree with you that MQA should be judged with high quality recordings, you sound arrogant and possibly racist with your telling us which artists are good and which are crap.  Mavis is a treasure - sorry if you can't appreciate her.

Opinions vary of course, but what's  "racist" about it?   Aren't black people allowed to be crap?

This , to me, hints at racism.  I really don't want to judge you, but you should know how you are coming off.  At least to me, and I don't think I am overly sensitive.  You can call me whatever and I will shrug it off, but it bothers me when you trash an artist like that.

I suspect if I "trashed" Britney Spears you wouldn't  say a word.

 

An "artist like that"? Some like her, some don't, and well over  90%   of the worlds population have never heard of her. I hadn't until I listened to a few  samples after Brinkman Ship's post.

An yu STILL havI doubt I'd say anything, but I would still get the same impression of you.

You've never  even met me.

 

Britney Spears? I was at   concert of hers at that 'spaceship'  hall.   She was so useless that not even those top sound people could do much with her. 

 

And you STILL haven't told me what's "racist" about thinking a particular performer is crap. Probably because it isn't.

He didn't saying anything remotely like that.

He's just making up stuff that fits his 'agenda' and then criticising what he made up. It's quite common.

No, he started the hypothetical though.  He made the other remark about Mavis Staples.

No, You did. I just said   the specified record  was garbage.

I don't have an agenda on this.  I said what I wanted to say and I don't think there is much point in dragging this out any more.

Good. Does that mean you won't post 'knee jerk' PC stuff anymore?

......Persistently seeing racism where none was intended is, to me, almost as offensive as racism itself.

Drawing attention to it at all  is  'racist'  as you are putting  the 'subject'  in a racial group.

 

As for the 'crusade'  I immediately thought of Bob Dylan when I saw the record title.

No, I will post whatever I want as long as Chris doesn't kick me out for it.

Of course you will. I was just asking as you can tell by the question mark.

OK I guess your original comment about her album title had nothing to do with the black part.  Got it.

Good.

 

(PS - If you say you are out of it and then come back shortly after  you could be mistaken for Sandyk. You wouldn't want that )

Huh?

 

He's claiming an MQA version of Amadou & Mariam: La Confusion existed and that he purchased the download. There's not mention of such an MQA ever existing. And yet the burden of proof is on me?

 

Yeah, there's a teapot orbiting the sun too.

 

Mani.

While I agree with you 'in principle'  it's   impossible to prove non-existence.

 

And Amadou is a fungus

Quite.

 

Any how, it's pretty irrelevant now... seems this (Brinkman) ship has already sailed... or gone down like the Titanic as @Em2016suggested.

 

A perfect display of 'brinkmanship'. Why do I have the concept of 'double agent' in my mind all of a sudden?

 

Mani.

My wife's grandmother was a Titanic survivor.

 

Sometimes I wish she had gone down with the ship

Presumably, she made it onto a lifeboat.

Indeed.

Hales argues if there is never 'proof' of non existence then there must also be never 'proof' of existence either.

 

 

She did go down with the ship , unless the ship is still afloat?

The inverse of stuff is  often not true

As in "Wind is caused by trees waving their branches about" when  it's actually  butterflies'  wings. They cause everything that needs a cause.

 

Some things don't, such as your cat appearing on your windowsill.
