Acca-Dacca to power thorough to the end of the week.

I had the same reservations as you, Al, but there is a lot more 4k and HDR content than I expected on Netflix/Amazon and the other streaming services.

I'm sort of surprised they don't have the two of you do some limited paid consulting.

If I had to make a list of my five favorite people in the music business you can bet your ass Brian Eno would be on it.

I'll say this... Bannon definitely has an interesting past. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/steve-bannon-once-guided-a-global-firm-that-made-millions-helping-gamers-cheat/2017/08/04/ef7ae442-76c8-11e7-803f-a6c989606ac7_story.html

New Arcade Fire. Just finished listening for the second time. It is solid, but they set the bar so high I'm finding it hard not to feel a little disappointed.

Fun read. I was born in 85 and I think I'm about 5-10 years too young for most of the references. I think RP1 might be better as a movie than it was as a book. I'll be looking forward to it next year.

RIP Sam Shepard. Amazing as Chuck Yeager in "The Right Stuff" as he was in almost everything he acted in. He was also an awesome writer.

Have a great birthday, Todd!

Happy birthday, Mr. Torpedo!

One lesson I've learned over the years is to try and not assume the opposition is dumb. If they get this ACA repeal though then they will be the ones who have laughed last.

Not true at all. In fact the opposite is true. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/?ex_cid=rrpromo McCain often says one thing and does another.

I respect McCain's experiences and his service, but I've always strongly disliked his views, and his voting record shows why. I hope he recovers soon and lives a long and happy life, but I also hope he retires from government ASAP.

10 Combined team kills and we each had a clutch save on the other. Outstanding game!

Gabba gabba!

We've missed you! Welcome back!

That tall blonde is one of my hollywood crushes, no question.

I use an ultra-wide monitor at work and I love it. I highly recommend it over multi-monitor unless you actually have a use case that requires multiple monitors. I use a 34" ultra-wide, but if you wanted to do TOTL then this Dell 38" is state-of-the-art. http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-38-curved-monitor-u3818dw/apd/210-amrc/monitors-monitor-accessories

I've driven by that Jones Beach theater many times and always thought it'd be a sweet place to catch a show. Glad you had a fun time!

Are We There - Sharon Van Etten Massive hat-tip to the new season of Twin Peaks for turning me on to Sharon and a bunch of other acts I would not have otherwise noticed. Having a different band perform in the bar at the end of each episode is so damn cool.

How soon can you fax me a loaf?

I am back to using the Oppo 105 as my do-everything workhorse. I really didn't hear that much of a difference between the Oppo and the Yggy and the Oppo just does so much more feature-wise. 90% of my listening these days is Tidal streaming and I can do it right on the Oppo and control it from Oppo's mobile/tablet apps. Is the sound quality as good as Vinyl or DSD rips? No. But I end up listening to so much music I'd never otherwise buy so I can't see myself doing anything but streaming going forward.

I'm actually going to skip the upgrade on the Gungnir MB I use at the office. Honestly, it sounds like a solution to a problem I don't have. I am less and less trusting of the hype and claims coming out of Schiit these days.

His best album? I think it gets my vote.

Rip to Mr. Landau and Mr. Romero. Landau had so many great roles its hard to keep track while Romero's "Dead" trilogy is maybe my favorite horror series of all time.
