Thanks! Finally brewed my first beer on Friday. Most of the operation was a pathetic disaster but that's what the first time is for I suppose. Started playing Catherine last night, plan on finishing today. Good birthday. Imbibed last night: old forester birthday bourbon and the first bottle of wine I've ever truly enjoyed. Four Vines Maverick zin, was inspired to buy after I rewatched Oz and James season 2.

its getting better, i think. Death Magnetic, and the criticism it drew over its mastering, was kind of the peak of the whole loudness wars. i've been pleased with the sound on a lot of new records. the new pains of being pure at heart is loud but not brick walled loud. the new mmj sounds great, but all their stuff does. a lot of new indie stuff dig on the analog sound, so it might be kind of lo fi, but too me lo fi sounds a hell of a lot better then brick walled. in terms of remasters that are truly "better", I'd offer up Wilson's 40th anniversary KC remixes/remasters. To my ears they are all absolutely superb. I'd go so far as to call ITCOTKC a revelation. the deluxe edition of the ITCOTKC remaster sets the bar for all rereleases IMO.
