A subscriber to the The Lefsetz Letter forwarded this article to me Do you think he likes them? Sennheiser HD 595 Everything old is new again. So I’m in the bar at the Royal York in Toronto and I’m introduced to the Sennheiser rep. I do what any obnoxious denizen of the cultural landscape would do. I ask her about Beats. I tell her I’m a dedicated Sennheiser fan, they’re my headphones of choice, I have both studio and portable models, but everywhere I go I see that red cord. She said it all came down to marketing. That Sennheiser wasn’t going to spend those dollars. That they were in it for the long haul. Had I heard the HD 595? I needed to c…

I sort of just finished it. Got tired of my old one and got really tired of all the scrolling so started working on a new one. What do you think? Is it better than the previous one? I'm still going to work on it to personalize it a little more as it's a little stiff for me but it's nice to hear some opinions on the usage / interface and the like. Maybe even ideas on things that might be missing.... Thanx in advance www.contrastique.com

You sick dirty bastards, get your minds out of the gutter! It's breached the 80?f mark here in the San Franpsycho area and that means it's time to shave my head for the summer I may keep it that way for a while longer this time because its so easy! Anyone else go shaved for the summer or all year round?

I have been out of the loop for a week or so. I got to work today and was greeted with this: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/multimedia/os-remembering-chris-hondros-20110421,0,4525593.story (Chris Hondros remembered) Chris Hondros took Joe Raedle's place in Libya. His work, along with Joe's and Carolyn Cole's has always stood out and made me look at the wires, even when I'm working on local copy. Thursday before last, just before I started my time off, one of Hondros' pictures stopped me cold. It was a beautiful (if such a thing is possible), iconic image of a rebel fighter. I switched it to full screen and showed it to the photographer sitting next to me and made a c…

Happy Birthday and have a great one!

Sorry for the late post. Was busy earlier. Have a fantastic day! Stay out of the lava flow.

Alex Chilton died yesterday at age 59 from an apparent heart attack. That's fucked up. I've been meaning to post this sad news ever since my wife called to tell me she heard it on the radio while she was driving to work. Great and influential musician. Also been meaning to play some Big Star and shit but I have been too busy to do anything fun today. Will have to toast him later, but for now here are the lyrics to The Replacements' Alex Chilton: If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon? If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool? Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file? Hangin' down in Memphis all the while. Children by the million s…

That place used to be cool when it first started up but now it's so fucking moderated that you can't say anything...EVEN THE TRUTH!

With less than an hour left, Happy Birthday, Dan! Hope it was a good one.

Happy birthday Tom.......

As a music critic and journalist, I can get pretty jaded about listening to the new CDs that cross my desk (or, increasingly, the digital downloads or streams that are grudgingly entrusted to me by record labels through top-secret back alleys of the Interwebs). But I can

So, I admit I'm far from technologically savvy, but I can often read fairly well. I went to post a reply in the Neked Women Avatar thread and I see no reply button, no quote button...nothing. Do y'all not want my profound and erudite female perspective? Okay, even if not, why no buttons?

I for one am glad to see that the popularity of a President that hasn't been given much of a chance to succeed, is ending on a very high note. I'm also very happy to see his very large numbers of commutations of low level, no violent criminals, who were IMO unjustly sentenced to ridiculous terms. I'll be sad to see him leave office, as I will the most elegant, benevolent First Lady of my lifetime. Happy Birthday Sir!

Watching 2001 today I noticed a powder blue stuck pixel on my tv for the first time. I've tried every type of method to remove it with no luck. I've tried using a rapid color cycling program, tapping it with a pen cap lightly, and applying light pressure when the tv is off and then turning it on. I'm so OCD that I may just have to burn the tv now and get a new one. Are there any methods that I haven't tried yet that you know of?

Have a fantastic day!

I wish you a happy celebration of your birthday and the start of 2023!!!
