No, Phelios/Martin Stuertzer, on Youtube. It starts in 9 minutes:

It's gonna take a lot to top Graham's line "Less Destiny's Child, more Destiny's Inappropriate Aunty".

Did you see that about the livestream of the new album tomorrow, @Knuckledragger?

A friend of mine who isn't Knucks also does a weekly radio show, albeit on Tuesday nights and oriented towards contemporary and all the way back to the 80's darkwave/shoegaze/post hardcore/etc. that I think a lot of you lot might enjoy almost as much as I do. It's all in the name: Delightfully Depressing

I know that song! That was my best friend’s theme song back when I was a kid.

Yeah, I watched some of the preliminaries (thanks to nice British people on the internet) -- was more subdued, less over-the-top than previous years. Think I'll save my 7 day free trial for something a little more rewarding.

And I immediately got this in my email:

Easiest to arrest? I don't know, I'm not surprised by Virginia, Maryland, and so on, 'cause they probably just drove, but Montana's too far not to fly? I don't know, just a theory.

Waves Retracted, because it turns out Waves is a shady company.

Happy belated birthday (party favour noise) 🥳

Most Waves plug-ins are $25 today only.

Thanks 🙏, Todd

All three of those were superlatively entertaining, thank you for that

So freakin’ tasty.

Damn, those can't be real...uh...cymbals.

Unholy carp, this video, the feels! (plus it's a really good song)

Agreed. She's a favorite. Always has been. In fact, I think I'll listen to her now. Thanks for the indirect recommendation.

Much obliged to both of you, thank you. I was fortunate while researching this topic to run across this page early, which explicitly calls out the NT-2a in the Mid-Side section at the end. This reinforced grawk's early response of not needing a stereo bar and just playing with mic placement, so I opted not to get a stereo bar, as I do have a boom floor stand as well as a boom desk stand, so I should be able to experiment with exactly that...once I clean up a little bit. (Kinda hard to put both in the same place, currently.) But it always helps to hear the explanation multiple times in multiple different ways, so I really do appreciate the conciseness of that video. I'm pretty strong in math and DSP, so I didn't really have much trouble wrapping my head around the concept, but I have to wonder how they figured this out in the early days (pre-DAW). Probably just some really smart people who were into music and music making.

Had some double-spicied chicken ramen from Sushi Jin's, it was delicious. Don't have room for the sushi, so leaving it in the fridge overnight. (I know, I should've eaten the sushi and refrigerated the ramen. Was hungry, wasn't thinking straight.)

Okay, that makes sense. I read this thread: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/510274-would-you-record-stereo-unmatched-pair.html ... and in the first post, the guy says he gets decent stereo with two completely different microphones. I just didn't want that "lopsided in the head" sound when listening back on headphones. Also in answer to the other question, I just don't like that "island in the middle of the head" sound, I just want it to sound slightly more natural when playing myself back.
