Moar steel and a vapor barrier.

Makes sense. I can see why you were easily impressed!

Getting a little glimpse at an alternative world - Match Game 2008 pilot with Norm MacDonald, Sarah Silverman, Rashida Jones, etc.

Bill William Shatner 2021 Yes, it is everything you ever wanted... ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Obligatory listen

Have a great one and hope you're getting pampered on your big day. Cheers!

That's exactly what I'm saying!

Everything at the Same Time Caroline Marie Brooks 2021 Simple tunes, but enjoyable:

So are you saying that you are sure you can run faster than Brent therefore he will be the first one taken down by the predators? And to make sure you will kneecap him with a nail gun just for that added margin?

Can't wait! I am addicted to this show... damn HBO and their brilliant soundtracks.

Started watching Foundation on Apple TV+ but got bored. Now I am watching season 2 of Work in Progress. I am really enjoying this show. https://www.sho.com/work-in-progress

Ahh, Al lives in California, we no have rain heah in Cali.

A Stitch in Time. (Available on Amazon Prime in the US) Really fascinating, at least through the first 2 (of 6 total) episodes. It's basically The Woodwright's Shop meets Fake or Fortune meets Bake Off. What could be better than that?

Avishai Cohen -- jazzish guy, just got introduced to them, melikey

You only need to alter the bias supply for the amp to work with normal bias phones. See here: That is the bias supply for the normal bias on the right hand side panel of the amp, just behind the front panel. Just a voltage divider off the B+ with a small filter cap, two resistors to form the divider and a 4M7 ballast resistor.

This is both absolutely amazing and utterly terrible. Tears for Fears were always miles above most 80s synth pop, in all aspects. Their songwriting, musicianship and lyrics have stood the test of time for nearly 4 decades now. Roland and Curt are both impressive live performers, even if they don't particularly like playing out. (Not entirely true, they love playing but they hate touring.) In this performance from 2014 they absolutely nail all of their classic hits and a couple album tracks. The problem is that the video director (I refused to call him a cinematographer) that Spotify hired needs to be taken out back by the chemical shed and shot. The bright lights on behind the band are a terrible idea. It's not artistic. It's blinding to both the studio and video audience. The use over overly long lenses, entirely too shallow a depth of field and constant rack focusing isn't artistic either. It's absolute crap. It's like if a new photographer who just got his first 50mm F/1.4 and refuses to stop it down ever was put in charge here. All of the shots from behind the audience, using their out of focus blobs as a framing device aren't artistic. They are endlessly frustrating tripe. The reaction shots of the audience, while a staple of every live performance ever, are executed so poorly here it's mind boggling. It's not easy to film a live music performance, but it's not exactly rocket surgery, either. Point camera at performers. Keep performers in focus. When editing, try to switch to performer doing most important thing (solo, singing, etc.) Maybe include some audience b-roll. Light the stage so that performers are visible, distracting background details are not, and NO ONE IS BLINDED (except for key moments.) The director of this video failed on every front. They should be sentenced to a life of only working on dish soap commercials. In spite the wretched production, I watched the entire video. I have always had mixed feelings about Tears For Fears. Their music is amazing, but for me it's a time capsule to a chunk of the 1980s where I suffered extreme trauma due to a confluence of terrible things happening at once. I've never fully processed the aftermath and I'm not sure I will be able to. Tears for Fears brings me right back some of the worst moments of my life, but I still love their music. They still have it as musicians, as well.
