MobLand (2025) - Paramount+ a Guy Ritchie joint, which tells you all you need to know.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Nate!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Jeff!

^I say "Thanks Alexa. You're the best!", which usually generates some shade thrown from my wife 🤣

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Binged through Man On The Inside (Netflix): a light, easy & fun watch

^This!

Another belated Happy Birthday, Ric! 🎂

Finished Black Doves (Netflix). Started season 2 of Bad Sisters (AppleTV):

Belated happy birthday Todd! Welcome to the club 🎂

Happy Birthday!

^This! Farrell disappears in his performance under the body suit. But Milioti is an amaaazing actress, who secures Sofia Falcone's place as the most badass mafiosa of all time in episode 4 (Cent'Anni).

Slow Horses (AppleTV) - finished s1, started s2... Again, late to the party, but after finishing Ted Lasso, I figured my ear was already trained for a variety of British accents, so... I probably should just put everything that Pars, Grahame, Torpedo, & blessingx recommend onto my watch-lists.

Thanks jamesmking. Equally valid answers would have been: "No" "Yes" "Yes/No, just take my word for it" Yes/No, you'll understand when you're older" "Yes/No, it worked for me in a similar setup, but with alot of tweaking that you may or may not wish to get into" or similar variations specific to actual experience with the Technics/Denon combo.

Advice requested: I'd like to try an MC cartridge on my Technics SL1700 (it's very much like the SL1200). Namely a Denon 103R anniversary edition: 1. I don't really understand cartridge/tonearm matching, but I've read about an overhang issue with the Technics tonearm. Is that a thing (and can someone explain it to me like a 4y/o please)? 2. Can I run it with a SUT & my existing MM-only preamp? Or is it preferrable to get a dedicated MC preamp? Which is the better way to go? 3. Is it worth it?

Happy Birthday!

I know I'm late to the game on this one, but we could all use more humor these days:

Monsieur Spade - very well-done. Cinematically filmed, with a smartly-written script, yet subtly so (as in using language well, not in the "I'm smarter than you" way). Clive Owen delivers it perfectly. Six episodes.
