    Finally got enough solid time to sit down and give this a proper virginal run through. After being abjectly miserable after failing to get into _Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix_ when I adore their first three, I'm

    worried about this one on the first run through. Wrong time of day I think...

    Since taking a sabbatical from work, it has been at least a month since I've touched Vista.

    Got conned into setting up a wireless router for a friend last night.

    Is it that Vista gets even worse with time, or is my lack of exposure and subsequent coddling in the supple, perfectly proportioned bosom of OS X the cause of my lack of tolerance for Windows bullshit?

    I just fucking love solving problems in Unix and hate it in Windows. You get under the hood and everything is nasty and recalcitrant.

    Sorry for the OT rant but had to vent somewhere...

    I'm not a devotee, I just like a little bit every now and again. As the actress said to the bishop.

    Gay mermen tattoo is so played out, Eejit. Did you notice the goat beard and pikachu tail on that queenicorn? I contend it is still the awesomer of the two.
    Fair but queenicorn on dolphin totally lacks the shock factor........

    Imagine the consultation before that tattoo.

    "So here's what I'm thinking, maybe some mermen and let's see where it takes us..."

    i can only ASSume copious mind-altering drugs were involved..........

    I meant the bad taste, of course. This tattoo is in excellent taste.

    Dull. Try this... WARNING!! NOT EVEN REMOTELY SUITABLE FOR WORK!!!

    edit: dinny showed me this when trying to get me to lower the price on the D1 for him...........

    The rip sounds great to my ears. I dont recall any clipping while watching my Duets' meters either.

    I'm a little curious what bit rate it was originally recorded at, if it was an all-digital recording. It would still make sense to do a high rez rip of vinyl of the analog, but it would be sort of like transcoding in a way, if the original was only 16bit.

    16 bit indeed... with a curious 50khz sampling rate. Early 3M digital machines... and no such thing as a 16 bit A/D converter at the time according to Roger Nichols.... they used a 12 bit and 4 bits of an 8 bit with gain ranging to get the full 16.......
    I liked Donald Fagen's recent release alot when it first came out, but when I go back to it now, its got too much bass for me to really get into (compared to NF). Especially having heard nightfly so many times in the past year or two.
    I found the first few tracks of _Morph the Cat_ kinda neat at first but it really wore out fast... and I never could get into the rest of the album. Fagen goes too far into cheese land for my taste... (see _Kamakiriad_...) Way too much bass indeed, it's fucking ridiculous and not enjoyable.
    I have circus monkey, but I have yet to give it a serious listen for whatever reason.
    Suggest you do... and give 11ToW a go as well, it's awesome...
