Norah Jones, The Fall

Happy Birthday, yung'n!

The drives that have problems reading SACD's are usually DVD-ROMs, at least. If you can get access to a pure CD-ROM (no DVD-anything) -- E.G. an external USB drive -- it shouldn't have a problem.

I didn't think He was back, yet. C'mon, I couldn't have been the only one thinking it.

Are you kidding? That's wonderful. Vaguely reminiscent of Shiina Ringo.

Actually, it's more like, "you have few friends, and they probably get this joke, too".

Oh shit, thought just crossed my mind -- what laserdisc do you have, not The Space Movie, is it?

You didn't find them different? I found the HE60's more "rock and roll" than the HE90's, IIRC. They also amp quite differently -- what's better for one is not necessarily better for the other.

Maybe they wouldn't bitch if you fucking pleased them.

Yeah, except IIRC, the boxed set one is bandwidth limited (by the nature of the matrix encoding). But you're alright if you have the recent box set, because I think there's a surround mix on there, isn't there? Just not the original one.

Oh yeah, those things are great. Oh, in that case, no.

Happy Birthday!

Dude, just sell them, then you won't have to listen to their fucking bitching.

Zero SACD? So you don't have the SACD of Tubular Bells with the quad mix?!?!?

gifts for the ex

Yeah, I flip off my gear, too. I went to Leesburg outlet mall (it's like a flea market, only upscale) and bought hardly anything.

I Secret Meeting

From elsewhere:

Did you want to mention that it looked different? Or did you conclude that they just ran out of black?

I watched Justin mod my headphones. I mean, I learned about modding headphones from Justin. Still not as good as the T50's. But this was the first pass; there will be others.

HP Firebird? HDMI and Dual-Link DVI video outputs.

That's awesome, except that's good jazz, you need to torture them. Play them some Zorn or something. There are some great stories on the web of what to say to telemarketers -- yes, far beyond, 'can I call you back at your dinner time'. Things like: "oh thank god you called, I was about to kill myself" "I'm kind of busy right now, can I call you back...hey, you might know, do you think I clip the red wire or the blue wire?" "whatever you're selling -- can I pay for it in food stamps? If so, I might be interested" "do you have to get up in the middle of the night to pee? Frequently?"

The most bizarre food I've ever eaten is sushi. I know, I'm boring; do you know what? Fuck you. I'm not eating a fucking bug.
