    David Byrne vs. Paul Simon

    Who is better as songwriter/musician? Ok, they got different starting points, but later on their careers are comparable. Byrne is not bad, but at the end of the day he is quite a poser. Simon wrote classic, timeless and elaborated songs. I clearly vote for Simon! What do you think? :)

    Klaus Dinger's Drumkit?

    good point. 70s might be the heyday of perfect drum miking + mixing. "they spent 2 days to find the right mic-position for a snare drum." i think dinger saw himself first as guitarist, later as composer and guru, and didn't give a shite on drum gear. not the kind of guy who talks about zildjian...
