Agreed, quite the shitty last 24-hours.

Did the gen 5 upgrade to my Gumby this morning. It took about 30 minutes, start-to-finish. I'll leave it to others to describe any change in sonics, but I figure it can't hurt the eventual re-sale value. EDIT: If anyone wants the prior gen USB board to play around with, PM me and its yours for the price of shipping.

Defender of the universe and a gentleman. What a guy!

I finished the final episode last night. Wow, that was some powerful stuff. The discussion of the Vietnam Memorial in particular is as emotional as anything I've seen on TV in quite a while. Have the tissue-box ready. Bravo to Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Really outstanding work. I especially enjoyed how personal the interviews were, particularly the interviews with the Vietnamese. A lot of the most poignant moments of the documentary are theirs, and the documentary is so much richer with their participation that it would have been without it. The other real standout for me is seeing the color video that accompanied the most iconic photographs of the war. It is often as shocking and unsettling to see the video for the first time as it was to see the photos in the first place. My parents, who were both born in 1955 and were old enough to remember but young enough to have not gone/protested tell me the documentary has been quite hard for them to watch.

Reznor and Ross' soundtrack to "The Vietnam War." It reminds me a lot of Ghosts I-IV, which feels appropriate given the subject matter.

Happy Birthday, IB!

Merry Christmas Happy Birthday, Santa-man!

The Naaman 1st Annual Memorial Race: F-150 Raptors, in the rain, on the Horse Thief! Followed by something more civilized!

Tried their new one but went back to this.

Amen!

I'm caught up now through episode 6 which aired last night and covered the Tet Offensive and the first half of 1968. Boy, it took a few episodes but the series has really grabbed me. I went to bed last night feeling ashamed to be an American. 1968 really was a terrible year. The futility and waste of everything that had happened up to that point coupled with the realization that the war still has another FIVE YEARS left to run is pretty crushing. I feel terrible for the suffering of the people of South Vietnam.

Those are outstanding seats, 3rd row off the court I believe.

This just about puts the nail in the coffin of MQA as something worth paying attention to far as I am concerned. http://archimago.blogspot.com/2017/09/mqa-core-vs-hi-res-blind-test-part-ii.html

^ it was really nice to see HDS in the new season of Twin Peaks as well. Sadly so many of the older actors/actressess that were in that season have since passed. HDS Catherine Coulson - The Log Lady Miguel Ferrer RIP to all of them.

Honestly I could probably just listen to "Althea" all day on repeat and be perfectly happy.

Project Cars 2 is live and a new season of HC race nights starts anew. Any/everyone is welcome to join!

Happy birthday, Andrew! Celebrating at French Laundry?

Agreed, very close but also had GGG ahead. Should be a fun rematch.

DRAW!?!?

What did you think? I gave it a try, but like most of the newer Foo albums it wasn't for me. There is a strong possibly that I have shitty tastes, but the ears want what they want.

Isn’t Apple sourcing the screens for the X from LG? If so, the purchase of an X would by definition grant access to the HC LG OLED club.

Ken Burns' 10-part, 18-hour The Vietnam War begins to air this Sunday, so don't forget to set your DVRs! http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-vietnam-war/home/ The early buzz is that it is outstanding. I'm more excited for it than I have been for anything on television this year. Soundtrack by Reznor and Atticus Ross should be interesting as well. - The New Yorker did a nice profile on Ken Burns ahead of the series premier that is also worth reading. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/09/04/ken-burns-american-canon
