[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello vinyl enthusiasts,
If anyone would like an LP of Dreamweavers, "L* Roneous/Elusive" or Pink Noise Test, "Plasticized" or Laurnea, "Betta Listen" I'll be happy to send them at no charge. Just email me at kswauger@polkaudio.com and they're yours.
Ken

[RuSsMaN]

How nice of you, you sir have mail!

Cheers
Russ

[Kenneth Swauger]

Russ has spoken up for the Pink Noise Test, but the other two are still available.

[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello,
I also have three, new, black metal record album frames I'll send, at no charge. These are intended to frame a record album cover as a work of art (would not use the Beatles, "White" album) on your wall. For this one, a little game, the first person to email me at kswauger@polkaudio.com with the nicknames of jazz giants: Charlie Parker, Lester Young and Billie Holiday, wins.
Regards, Ken

[RuSsMaN]

You have mail AGAIN.

This is fun, do you have any tube amps to give away?

[Kenneth Swauger]

Well done, Russ! He's graciously agreed to accept only one of the frames. So, there are two more available. Here are the next three qualifying questions:
1). give me the first and last name of the three Pointer Sisters (yes, you can, can)!
2). who is Robert Zimmerman?
3). what city is the last resting place of Jim Morrison?
Ken

[dorokusai]

1) Ruth Anita & June. You could say Bonnie also........(DON'T ASK ME WHY I KNOW, PLEASE)

2) Invented the flurglepoofin' right?

3) Europe, in that filthy country called France I think :D

Well 1 outta 3 aint bad....but why the first one WHY GOD WHY!!!!

[Kenneth Swauger]

Very well done, Dorokusai-san. There are two remaining unanswered questions awaiting.
Who will know all three?

[Loud & Clear]

Bob Dylan
Isn't Jim in, Paris?

[LiquidSound]

Didn't Jim get kicked out of Paris? I remember watching on tv where his plot lease was up and the constant vandalism made them decide not to renew it. I could be completely wrong or exactly right. :D

[madmax]

I'm interested in the pink noise! just reread. Russman got it. Cool!!!

Looks like I'm out of luck:(. But wouldn't it be nice if Polk does more of this stuff for us forum members:). Give us quizzes and we get prizes like Polk pens, shirts, etc.

Maurice

[RuSsMaN]

How are you out of luck? There are 2 more records for FREE, and the 3-part question has not been answered for the free record frame?

[organ]

The only record I would've wanted is the one you got. I don't know the other bands. I'd like the frame but don't know the answer to any of his questions:(. Maybe I'll look around the web for the answers. I gotta say Russ, you're a damn shark man! You snatched those up quick.

Maurice

[dcarlson]

So what's up? Are the frames spoken for? I would love to have at least one.

Russ, you're a good gracious man. ;)

There's nothing like sticking your favorite album on a wall to display.

Derick.

[organ]

Hey Derick, there's 2 frames left. You have to answer either question #2 or #3 that he posted. I'm going to look around the web for the answers. Good luck.

*edit* Oops:o You have to answer all 3.

Maurice

[organ]

The answers to the two remaining questions: #2 Author, #3 Paris.

Maurice

[Tour2ma]

Ya Gots Mail...

[dcarlson]

#1. Bonnie Pointer, June Pointer, Anita Pointer, Ruth Pointer.

#2. Bob Dylan's given name

#3. Paris.


Derick.

[Kenneth Swauger]

Good morning Derick,
If I am reading everything correctly, you are the winner! Please email me at kswauger@polkaudio.com and I'll get the two frames to you. Congratulations. I have a few more items of interest and I'll post another music/movie quiz.
Have fun, Ken

[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello members,
After going through all of this mornings emails (448) I've found that BET sent the correct answers about six hours earlier than Derick. In all fairness, it would be best to split the two remaining frames between these two, since they both were correct.
Regards, Ken

[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello,
I have a very fine copy of a true audiophile LP, it is the theme music for a movie called, "Cat People". This has been on just about everyone's RTDF (records to die for) list. If your system has the bass resolution and dynamic range, this will sound amazing! Here's the three qualifying questions:
1). in Stanley Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odyssey" where was HAL assembled, city and state, please?
2). in "Cool Hand Luke" what crime sent Paul Newman's character to jail in the first place, I need the specific thing he was doing?
3). in Elizabeth Taylor's Academy Award winning role as Gloria, in "Butterfield 8", she was driving a beautiful two tone sports car, I need to know the two colors and the model of the car.
It's a great sounding record, all nice and clean, so good luck!
Have fun, Ken

[dcarlson]

These are some thoughies. ;)

I'm not sure if I can answer any. Would you rather an email with the answers or posted in the thread?

[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello Derick,
Posting on the Forum is probably more interesting for readers. Make your best guess, it's all part of the fun.
Ken

[Tour2ma]

I'll chip in the answer to #2 for people...

Luke was unscrewing parking meters from their posts with an over sized pipe wrench... he was very drunk.

I'm with Tour! Now there is 2:D

[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello,
Very well done, Tour. That is a great scene, he just flops down on the sidewalk, totally bombed. I'll give a hint on the first question: the town, I'm looking for, is located on interstate highway 74, between Danville and Champaign, south of The Windy City. The third question's answer is that this company made four wheel and two wheel modes of transportation and the colors are the same as the tall people who wait outside of a famous British landmark. Good luck!
Ken

[hoosier21]

3. Car ??, 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler, sound like BMW, using the hint from Ken, it must have been red.

[Tour2ma]

OK, based on the hints and Mapquest, I'm saying:

1. Urbana, IL
2. Parking meters as described above
3. Red and Black Triumph

[Kenneth Swauger]

Congratulations, Tour!
email me at kswauger@polkaudio.com with your address and the record is yours! I hope you enjoy it.
Ken

[dcarlson]

Congrats, Tour ;)

[hoosier21]

after I gave him the color red, it was easy

Ken,
You've got mail...
What's going on at HQ? Y'all cleaning out the closets for the big tour coming next week?

[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello Tour,
I haven't received your email message yet, maybe you should re-send?
Ken

[Tour2ma]

Done...

[Kenneth Swauger]

Sorry, Tour, I've not received any messages from you. Can you telephone me at 1-800-377-7655 extension 891 and give it to me?
Thanks, Ken

[dcarlson]

Ken,

I picked up the frame today. It's still sealed in it's original packaging? :)

Once again, thanks so much.

Derick.

[gidrah]

Luke wasn't using a pipe wrench. He was using a pipe cutter and cutting them off while in a drunken state.

Keep it Tour. I'm in it for the fame, not the money!

:D

I forgot to add:

It would be cool if anybody that wins a frame tells us what album they are framing.

[dcarlson]

I'll let you know when and what record I put in the frame. ;)

[Tour2ma]

Ken,
Thanks for the goods. Both arrived safely.

All,
Ken probably doesn't want this publicized, but these prizes were from his own, private collection.

Gridah,
Yup, pipe cutter... Well, I'm putting my ill-gotten "Cat People" in the frame... eye candy.
Since you in it for the glory, can you name the lady gracing the cover?
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd500/d568/d56847120o5.jpg

[gidrah]

I can name her. Isn't that "Oh baby, oh baby!"

I wanna call her like Natasha Henstridge (I know it's not), or something like that. Gimme a few.

[Tour2ma]

You've got the name half right....

[dorokusai]

Kinski is the second half, that movie is damn near X rated at times....fantastic! :)

[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello Tour,
Good, I'm glad you got the record. Have you had a chance to play it yet?
Ken
p.s. her father is Klaus Kinski, a really wild movie director. If you ever get the chance to watch his "Fitzcarraldo", it's well worth it. It's about a man who wants to drag a huge steam boat through the thickest jungle in the world. Amazing!

[dcarlson]

I put Radiohead's O.K. Computer in the frame today. Just have to hang it.

[Kenneth Swauger]

That's great. I've wanted to get into them, which one would be the best one to find?
Ken

[dcarlson]

Radiohead? Get the one I just mentioned. O.K. Computer. It always pops up on those best of the 90s type lists. I think it should be up there in the top of all time but that of course is my list. ;) It's a little out there for the non Radiohead fan and takes some listening to get used to. It sounds fantastic on vinyl. There are many weird sounds that really come through nicely on vinyl. Great vocals, piano, guitar, xylophone, etc..

[organ]

Hi Ken,
The album Derick suggested is very good. I used to listen to Radiohead a lot and even today I listen to them to bring back some memories from six years ago. "The Bends" is also a good Radiohead album.

[dcarlson]

Yup, The Bends is more listener friendly and good as well.

[organ]

Yeah, Street Spirit(fade out) is my fav song on that album. The thing I like about Radiohead's music is that they can transport you into another world. I agree that "The Bends" is more listener friendly but OK Computer is one hell of a "dreamy" album.

Maurice

[Kenneth Swauger]

Thanks, Derick and Maurice, I've got them on my want list.
Anybody familiar with some of the electronic/acoustic music from the 60's and 70's? Richard Vimal, Jean Michel Jarre or Fuhrs and Froeling?
Regards, Ken

[Tour2ma]

Ken,

First, I haven't spun "Cat People" yet. Will do in the not too distant future.

I only have JM Jarre on a "Best of..." CD. It's good, but have to be in a rare mood to play it. When I do it reminds me of an evening about 20 yerars ago I spent with over a million close friends in Houston.

JMJ put on a show, "Rendezvous Houston" where the skyline was used as a projection screen. Fireworks were fired from everywhere. And the sound system was the most powerful I have ever heard. I was getting chest thumped 1/4 mile away from the stage.

[Kenneth Swauger]

Hello Tour,
Yes, I've heard that Houston concert was amazing, creating laser images on the sides of the skyscrapers. There's an album from that concert with some photos of the event. His two record "Live In China" is my favorite, I've played it dozens of times.
I won an ebay auction for Radiohead's "The Bends", thanks for the recommendation, Maurice and Derick! I'll warm up the Maplenoll and give it a spin after I get it.
Regards, Ken
