Naturally by Sharon Jones & The Dap-kings (2005) https://album.link/i/1485055629 Example: It is sad that we didn't get more Sharon when she was here, but we can at least enjoy what we have.6 points

Magnetic earpads are indeed a great idea. After some simple tests, only four 2.5mm diameter n50 magnets are strong enough to hold the earpads.

My very-soon-to-be Mother-in-law cut her teeth on a Brownie Holiday Flash. 127 film is still made, so I thought it would be fun to take her pic on one. Found a LNIB model. Well, it had the box, and looks new other than oxidation on pot metal parts, but look what I found in it… you’d better believe I’m going to develop it! I’d guess it was the only roll out through it. It’s not even a fat roll: nice job person who loaded it!

Let's talk about Lucy Vincent and Gay Head. The former has a bunch of famous rock formations, which I mostly failed to capture: Approaching minimalism. Nifty 50, 5D IV. A study of the rock formations. 50/5D. iPhone uh 13? with the "Camera+ Legacy" app. I will never like mobile phone camera apps, but Camera+ allows for some taming of the pseudo HDR bullshit Apple does out of the box. It also has a really neat white balance control. (More on that later. Much later.) ibid. The town of Aquinnah, MA was known as Gay Head from 1870 to 1997. The townsfolk elected to change the name to honor the native people who lived there and certainly not for any other reason stop snickering. Aquinnah is famous for its brick lighthouse and brightly colored cliffs. Said cliffs are still called "The Gay Head Cliffs." They're among the most photographed things on MV. All taken with the iPhone/Camera+ app. You can't tell from here, but that guy in the water is naked. It's is not a nude beach. The one feature about SMRT phone cameras that I really like is taking panorama shots. The cliffs and lighthouse seen from the lookout platform in the most touristy area. Fortunately when I was there most stores were closed and it wasn't crowded. The walk from the parking lot to the beach is actually quite long. I took this shot from the start of the jaunt. The building to the left is the <mumble> museum, which was closed. 50/5D. Minimal editing (I am obsessive about having a perfectly flat ocean horizon line.) The view from the lookout platform. 50/5D. Next time: Asparagus in the sky! (AKA asperitas clouds.)2 points

I wouldn't wish them luck, dedicated groups of Americans have put genies back in bottles before.1 point

I heard some news from canjam shanghai and some people who listened it in store is that mini-shang has a greatly improvement in bass and timbre compared to OG jade2, but there is no more comparison with other stax/dca/audeze except hifiman estats, and we all know even shangri la jr/sr are hard to say it's good in this regard😅. Considering that people in Asia are more accepting of bass light headphones, I am more curious about the experience in Europe and the US.1 point

And for Sunday afternoon.... New Conversations by Bill Evans (1978) https://album.link/i/1576791761 Example: Living in the PNW, I don't have to really remember the rain, because it is mostly imminent. This later Bill album is just Pretty. I tend to focus too much on the early work.1 point

For the most part I agree Antonio. But I think most people have a misunderstanding of the the term gay pride. It's not about being proud to have sexual relations with the same sex. It's not about being proud to have romantic relations with the same sex. It's about being proud of how far we've come in society. It wasn't but a handful of years ago that we could be imprisoned for being homosexual. It's only been a few decades ago that we were dragged out of bars and beaten by police for dancing with each other. It's been even less time since Ronald Reagan refused to take any action whatsoever about AIDS, and was happy to watch large populations of gay people die. And now when we've just begun to make some headway, the Republican party wants to pull the rights we've earned away again. Good luck putting the genie back in the bottle.1 point

I'm sure the Mini Shangri-la is just a rehashed Jade II as they never sold in the quantities Hifiman wanted. I'm getting one though so I can laugh at hifiman some more. The Perun stuff is mehhhh at best.1 point
