I thought his name was Michael Knight

Task (HBO) - wow, intense watch...

Looks like I had better get the hot air gun and soldering iron out . . .

Nick Knight (1989) The unaired CBS pilot for the subsequent series Forever Knight (1992)

I had recently posted on FB about a visit to an Audio store where I heard a system approaching $500K list price. A hometown friend pinged me and - among other things - said he has a friend/classmate (Princeton I'd assume) who "runs Oswald Mills Audio." Maybe you can get a friend-of-friend-of-friend discount 🤣

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday you Dusty Chalk!

My favourite band in the world had their friend Clint Carney make a video for them as part of their Kickstarter. The song itself already tugged at my tear ducts, it's so powerful, and the video is everything I would have wished for and more: For those that don't know, or haven't followed Al1ce since 2020 (like I do), it is very rare that Tash goes without her stage makeup. I think there is meaning behind that choice in the video... For reference, the previous video that Clint Carney made for them is also a favourite:

No, I don't think so, but that's okay, their fanbase has grown by like a Brazillion since 2020, and I'm happy for them for that. Thanks everyone!

That's how I felt after hearing Oswald Mill Audio Imperia speakers at his loft space in DUMBO years ago with JP#s. Big speakers with intimate live sound.

Listened to the CRBN again this year, but with a Mjolnir Audio amp this time instead of whatever they were using last year. It's mostly the same but better and the improvements are what one would expect from an amp upgrade. Dynamics are better, bass is filled in and hits harder, and it pretty much sounds like my home setup with the LCD-XC. Take my LCD-XC, remove the last traces of the closed headphone sound, move the perspective back a row or so, add more resolution, and that's the CRBN.

Just got back from a 2-day event at Sonoma. Track driving is the BEST. Had to give point-bys to an instructor in fiesta ST last two sessions so good to get served a lesson of how far i still have to go as a driver. 😂

Wait, has anyone watched The Hunting Wives? Suddenly it seems interesting.

Twisted Metal (Peacock) - An amnesiac is enlisted to drive across a post-apocalyptic USA wasteland to pickup & deliver a package on the promise of a better life. Apparently based on a series of Sony Playstation games of which I am not familiar. Think The Transporter meets Mad Max. Mackie brings the self-deprecating swagger, while Beatriz brings...herself, which is always great. Qwerky & (violently) fun. I am about halfway thru season 1, & think it's lots of fun.

Catching up on a series that I should have watched in the first place.

I mean, it's a nice starter system.

Never a fan of Durst, but I had nothing against Sam Rivers the bass player. Passed away on the 18th @ 48yo. RIP Sam.
