I did about 10 years on an Atkins diet, which has as rule 1, Always Stay In Ketosis. Before I started the diet, my doctor at the time told me don't do it, you cholestrerol will go through the roof. We did all my bloodwork etc. A year later I went back to the doctor for my yearly. I had...

Wait, does Stringer try to doubleback on Avon? Where's Brother Moussoun?

xzi isn't there some controversy about that rammstein vid trailer? I see both sides btw. But being controversial for controversy's sake would not be above Rammstein. They always seemed to me to be kind of mercenary. Anyway, the last fucking thing I want to actually have to hash out is, is it...

So what KEF's are those again? Ever tried a more generous triangle? Move speakers and listening chair out maybe 2ft or so? Keep triangle same size but figure out how to get it into more open a space? The speakers could benefit from some breathing room. Maybe experiment. I might be wrong.

You have RL friends and family around you on this? Because this is about as raw as it gets, and you need real life human contact and support. Take care of yourself and all those affected by this, and keep the police on it. Find the McNulty in the department and buy him some Jameson and you...

What is, I am a lineman for the county, Alex?

I often visit audio asylum, a hi-fi nut place. It can be fun. LOTS of posters there, and also industry people. It is a very barebones message board, but if you haven't gone, you are in for a treat. I have heard nothing but fantastic things about the KEF unidriver. A couple years ago they came...

Ow my balls

And this is what gets me. Even back then, we figured out ways to make it more tolerable. A friend of mine would binge watch MASH during camps. Hey whatever! I would play MOO2 on a second computer. People just too itchy and can't abide time sinks. Ok.

So Cleetus, what system set up you running thse days?

As to room treatment, that is newfangled to me. I got this system dialed in around 2000. Never experimented with Room Correction. I hear it is amazing these days. But I have some really nice in-ear phones, some high end Shures from a few years ago. Friggin AMAZING sound just off the computer...

I think balanced vs unbalanced is way down the list. The fact is, my local dealer gave me a showroom discount on the BAT amp and preamp, and that company only does full balanced circuity. It sounds fab. Compared? I think it is more powerful (it actually is ). But it is not the secret key. But...

from the listening position

<raises hand> Balanced Audio Technology VK-500 dual mono amp Balanced Audio Technology VK-3i preamp CD player of the week: Rotel player from the early 2000's, it does HDCD processing, which I like Miida DD TT with Benz Micro Glider MC cartridge mixture of Harmonic Tech and Kimber silver streak...

Classic "gum" track. All the songs involved sharing gum and chewing gum. This tune's Swahili chorus translates as "Would you like a piece of gum?"

Exactly. Refereeing in all sports involves calls that are relative to the game at that moment but also the game as a whole. An umpire established his strike zone, etc. I am against too many rules involving contact / play disputes. Location and possession disputes are great for rules and booth...

Mastodon. I have needed to turn to Dio to feel grounded past few days. And like jello, there is always room for Dio.

Within a few years, all Gronk will be saying is "Wow, wow."

rofl, that song is wicked. Is there a guilty pleasure thread? Oh, and fuck dope. fuck it to hell.

Alice in Chains wrote good songs. As long as the rest of the band is still on top of things, a decent singer can still make their songs work imo. That maybe is the diff between the really interesting bands, and the wannabes. Good bands leave behind great songs. That was a great vid, thnx for it.

tiggles.... you dirty dog. I'm not that bad

Too many people have the emotional maturity of a moth. So they punch, etc. Like a dog that has never been socialized. It's not just athletes either. Like the sex scandals in Hollywood, the really bad rape-y ones. The list can be extended easily. I say, start to make it clear, you don't evolve...

Just about pissed myself laughing. What made me laughing even harder, was you might be right lol.

Yeah. I got out of line there. If we assume Baker = Doc Holliday, I am not sure we have yet discovered ? = Johhny Football. Johnny Ringo at least knew how to deal with adversity by dying like a man. So what we got? Who is Johnny Manziel? Maybe one of the Brittle brothers?

I know, right? Manziel was a joke from the start. The sports talk here was so sceptical. And Johnny Fuckup did not disappoint, acting like an idiot on social media before training camp even started. Never got that vibe from Baker at all. He is cocky but -- I am gonna go there -- in the same way...

Browns fan here. Still digesting wtf just happened with the Odell Beckam trade. This is very unfamiliar territory for me. Can it truly be, that good players .... want to come to C-land? I'm still in shock. Baker must be licking his chops lol. I am still shocked though. How we went from the...

Well I hope they still think about melody. I would argue it is a strong suit. Most American pop employs rap ideas about how to construct a lyric. But that model only makes sense if one is a native speaker (and even then, it is not attractive necessarily). There is plenty of music to go around...

Have you seen this version? It's my go-to.

production values are so nice in these music vids. Since I am old, what then gets me is, a very strong melodic musical focus. To put it over simplistically, I like tunes that can get stuck in my head and have me humming it. I'm not getting that feeling these days from A-pop (American pop hehe).

More Hendrix cover people. This guy is pretty alright.

This season is the Buffalo Bills of NBA seasons. At a certain point you realize, that tiki doll is cursed. Wait a sec. Too many references, sorry.

My take is, the nervousness and awkwardness you correctly note, was Malek's attempt to bring out the essential instability of FM. Some artists are stable. Others are pretty much always a wreck. What you see as nerves and awkward, I think I am sometimes seeing Rami's ability to convey the cool...

If I can offer my 2 cents about he coverage and commentary of the Oscars, I will say, I find it tedious and basically misguided. Hollywood is the center of the Oscar universe, and Hollywood is what it is. It is not high art, except every so often. It is not radical, except every so often. You...

I finally got around to actually watching Bohemian Rhapsody. I was not in any rush since, imo the music speaks the story anyway, so might as well slap a Queen record on the table if I want to get into it. But Rami won, and I thought I would take a look at the film. Film is just a basic, solid...

These guys . Basically just a couple of dudes in England in some old coal town who discovered a drum machine and a pitchshifter.

you bastard. Bu I still say, let Electric Ladyland side one be played at my funeral.

Fairly sure how science works is, that whatever it is that "functions" exactly like gravity *is* gravity. Theory is always playing catchup to reality, but the scientific method has proven to be the Mohammed Ali of intellectual methods.
