Just so many influences in this guys sound from 70's dub, to late 80's synth, 90's bass lines
Very talented.

I swear it felt like 54-40 was at playing every fair, super eX or tulip festival that came through the Ottawa back in the 90s, I can't count how many times I saw them play, lol.

Yeah, twas them, haha and I would think that those bands were quite a great group of bands that are still relevant. The Pursuit fo Happinness is another one

Maybe a little bit more recent (but not much); Tea Party, Wide Mouth Mason, and I Mother Earth are some other ones that seemed to play every show I went to. Headstones is another one that has some good tunes and seemed to be a fair number of shows.
Dave Wilcox was a mainstay of just about any local fair.
Yeah the bands they used to play on The Bear 106.9! Our Lady Peace was another Canadian band from that era. Of all that group, Tea Party was probably my favorite, maybe because I'm a Doors fan, and they sounded a lot like them lol.

There was this kid with curly hair in school and to this day we still call him "Grapes of Wrath".

a friend of mine referred to the genre of music played the the Grapes as "Poodle Rock"
currently working on this song , by using these chords "Marilyn Manson - Fated Faithful Fatal (Chords)"
This song is very difficult to do because of whatever strumming technique is being used. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

Phil Spector (pre Being a Murderer days) was a genius. His music was way ahead of its time.
But man his lyrics!!... Grade school.
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron
Da doo ron ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron ron ron
Da doo ron ron
It is incredible to connect the music to the words.
He was behind 20-30 of teh 60's biggest hits and if you listen to the music alone, it is genius... But "Somebody told me his name was Bill.. Da doo ron ron.."
Or the Ronettes 'For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three'

Anyone familiar with hooking up old speakers to an receiver?
I have a 8-16 ohm amp and have:
two 6 ohm speakers
two 4 ohm speakers and
one 4 ohm subwoofer
Now, if I hook up one 4 ohm and one 6 ohm (10 ohms) speaker together in a series that should be fine
but if the second pair if I add the subwoofer (14 ohms) is that against the law?
Both sets would still be in the 8-16 ohm range.

It's been a long time since I've dealt with a passive sub setup (I am assuming that's what you have), It should work, but you'll have different volumes on the two speaker sets. You're also sending a full range of frequencies to the sub so it will likely sound muddy,

I was worried about that. It is a passive sub. If I added another 4 ohm speaker to the sub would that improve the sound? I'm only looking for improved bass really

Evening out the load would likely just even out the volume. If the receiver has a line level sub out, you could probably use that and a seperate power amp to power the passive sub,

You may be able to improve bass by adjusting your speaker placement, or adding some sound treatment to the room.

It's a small LG sub i got for 5 bucks at a thrift shop just to improve the bass. This has less to do with sound quality and more with just having a functional system that is loud enough. Its a pieced together system.
