My coach at Laguna had these. I love them.

I don't normally do birthday greetings for long absent Head-casers, but noticed that @Duggeh turned 40 today. Seems like only yesterday that he was a young Scottish squire experimenting with large obscure headphones. If you happen to see this, then I hope you are well, Duggeh, and would love to hear tales of your middle age! Cheers!

But does it HDCD? Finally, a more objective analysis of Pacific Microsonics' technology:

Vol. 2 Friday. I know Rob is excited.

I can make it about 2 min before losing interest. Good for them for their marketing (costume) and bringing something new (not really new) for the kids to get excited about. I should invest in microtonal fretboards and guitars. Id imagine sales will start picking up soon.

Did anybody try these at the NYC meet? https://apos.audio/products/sjy-electrostatic-headphones

Enjoy your day of cats, guitars and trades Doug! 🎉 Cheers!

Trying Angine de Poitrine’s Vol. 1 noseless.

Happy Birthday Duggeh, wherever you are. - cheers.

Arise, Shine by Anna Lapwood (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/n779x4iy660bi Example: The Chapel Choir of Pembroke College, Cambridge - really comes alive on this new recording. The title track is an original work by Anna - and of course as an organist she added a bit of that in. Nice Sony Classical recording as always.

Peaky Blinders (Netflix) - I know I am so late (like, ten years late!) to this party, but here we are finally. Binged thru the first two seasons, & started series #3. Not perfect, but lots of "fun" (usually in a dark-ish way). Dang, life was harsh not so long ago.

The cat looks really embarrassed

Few more from the interwebz via my drive. The one about chocolate I especially love because it is SO much Karen - sent it to her sisters and one said she cried she laughed so hard.

Goddamn. Just learned that DJ Dan died at 57. I did a 4 hour set downstairs at the legendary afterhours club Rise in Boston while he headlined in the main room upstairs in late 2012. A few months later, I helped run a show where he played in early 2013. This was the upstairs before DJ Dan started playing. The number of people in it tripled by the end of the night. I don't have many photos of the downstairs ...because I DJ'd for 4 hours, but this is one long exposure taken with me braced against a couch. The 2013 show was amazing. I saw a bunch of jaded drum n bass and dubstep fans realizing that house music was a lot of fun. I only spoke to him briefly, because I had a job (or more to the point, like 20 jobs) to do. He seemed like a very chill, down to earth guy, especially for someone as famous as he was. 57 is crazy young to pass.
