Thanks for that. And this! This is really well shot/directed. Almost gives me a Jonathan Demme vibe (yes, I realize the chronology is reversed). Von Karajan is of course a favourite, but my first was this one: I grew to a big appreciation for Concertgebouw Orchestra, not just from this recording, but multiple recordings across multiple conductors. And since you're a Rick Wakeman fan, I will also recommend his soundtrack for Crimes of Passion. I know that seems like a non-sequitur, but it's not, trust me.

Happy belated birthday! (party favour noise)

And this is the way i tried to do that - it worked and is still working. Thanks!

Happy birthday!

If you posted a Photo of you, I can use it to get AI to replace AI you with what AI thinks you should look like, if you like. AI.

Lol, until I read the text I was like who is that guy with my minis! Is thet you or what AI thinks I look like? Haha

Such a great episode.

Happy Birthday!

Happy AI Birthday, Jason!

Cheers and Happy Birthday -

Thanks all, it's great to be back.

Jack is just getting into the Simpsons and we just watched the Mr. Plow episode, so I got to tell him about your Linda Ronstadt story.

Helmsman/Navigator, Master Gunner/Quartermaster, Cook/Surgeon, Shipwright/Powder Monkey, Boatswain/Mystic... Captain/Master-at-arms in the front The Shipwright/Powder Monkey is the Tinkerer (reskinned Wizard) and will have an actual Monkey familiar that will be trained to assist the Gunner with the cannons. It's a little blurry, but the swashbuckler with the Rapier has a hooked hand, which I love. The fishman karate master will use natural weapons or improvised weapons like mops, oars, etc. I'm having way too much fun with this, lol.

Happy Birthday!!!

^my thoughts exactly, including the parenthetical.

Now we know why you reappeared when you did -- in time for a happy birthday thread! 😂 Hope you and the family are feeling better and can celebrate your big day, Jay! Cheers!

Dvorák: Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95 "From the New World" by Leonard Bernstein (1962) https://open.qobuz.com/album/5099706056324 Example: Poking around at some versions. (no, not a full survey). I really like the lyricism of Lenny's interpretation, I am in favor of the power of the Karajan recording above. Originally a CBS Masterworks recording, Sony turned up the volume and released when acquired.

Happy Birthday!!!

Yes!

Fuck it. I made a full batch. Cheers Matt!

After listening for a while (and getting the output under control: it's HOT out of the box), I think the DAC3 is a subtle audio upgrade, but a noticeable one. The voicing is just so similar to the DAC1 that I didn't notice it at first. Also, trying out DSD audio for the first time.

Damn, those Daytonas are stunners! I had an opportunity to buy one in yellow gold for a good price about 10 years ago. I should have taken it.

Jimmy Cliff was an absolute legend. I saw The Harder They Come on VHS in the 1980s when I was entirely too young for such things. It left a lasting impact on me.

Look at this moldering (or in this case, mouldering) old geezers. L to R: Some UK psytrance DJ named Liquid Ross that I cannot pretend to care about, Dr. Alex Patterson AKA Mr. The Orb and some Irish ginger who is simultaneously the most most important figure and biggest bell-end in all of IDM AKA Richard Dinklage James the Aphex Twinkie himself.
