Yeah, people suck at this social distancing. You can't positive think your way out of a virus. Glad you got some air and an unplug, though.

I'm watching Bruce Soord (frontperson for The Pineapple Thief) on Facebook livestream. I was marked a top fan earlier today, and he just played one of my requests, "Clapham". Wee!

Break a leg. I’m watching a livestream of one of my favourite bands ever, so I’ll have to catch it on a showreel.

On a Bjorn Riis binge today-- Airbag and solo (entire discographies, both)

Also, don't rule out the physical modeling synths, even from decades ago. When people asked me what analog synths I had -- even back then -- I would tell them what I had, then mention the Nord Modular and the Roland JP-8080. And then they'd say, "those aren't analog". And I'd stage-shush them, and stage whisper, "don't let them hear you -- they don't know that" or "try telling them that" (if I was in a position to play it for them, I would -- they really did sound analog delicious -- the Roland JP8080 (and it's older sibling, the JP8000) sound nice and moogy, and the Nord Modular was just crazy versatile -- there were times it sounded like a polyphonic ARP 2600, and sometimes it would sound vaguely Prophet-y, but not as good as my Prophet5, so I didn't usually say that out loud, much less think it). I should try to resurrect them. The Prophet5 has a power supply problem, and probably needs to be recapped again. The Nord Modular -- you program it through proprietary software that speaks to it through (non-USB) MIDI, not sure how that would work now, need to figure it out. Nord really should resurrect that whole paradigm -- it was so much fun. I should power on the JP8080 and see if it boots.

Cheers to that. I’ve said it elsewhere and I’ll say it here: good on you, kudos, etc. And if you’re a recovering alcoholic, stay strong and congratulations on staying strong. I have several teetotaler friends, and often teetotal when I’m with them. -
Happy birthday!🎊🎉 🎈 (party favour noise)

It’s the new normal when this becomes the anomalous event.

Yeah, but with my luck, I’ll get the lemon. Not taking the chance.

It’s not just the douchiness, I recently read a story that the quality control is circumspect, and their customer support is for shit, and it makes sense. They’re cheap for a reason, they cut corners.

Happy birthday, Rob! (party favour noise)

Really enjoying him in Season Three of Westworld. Me: while respecting social distancing, socialized (we met outside a restaurant and kept 6 feet apart while we waited for our food, then took it home and ate it separately) ...just for practice...gotta put on pants once a week or so, just so's I don't forget how...

I bet that’s a Photoshop. No way that tower would be standing in real life.

Correcting myself: No he’s not, he just got the Chord combo, I doubt that’s going anywhere. I was reminded because I’m in a similar boat—I have great everything else except the USB/DAC portion of the chain. I’ve been listening with the Pico Power connected directly to the iPad or Walkman. Now that I’m home I wanna start using the computer into something into the Earmax Pro. I asked my imaginary friend who’s really into KEF and Dynaudio and room treatments, and he said Chord or Simaudio Moon.
