Dawn on Horseshoe Bend, AZ.

I'm afraid Torpedo is mostly right. FB2K/Mac plays back FLACs and has ReplayGain (two features I require), but it lacks any support for last.fm or libre.fm. I wish the latter was slightly less FLOSSy after nearly a decade. >.<

The artist lost his job for this cartoon. Winter Camping under Mt. Shuksan, WA.

Technics SL-1300, Luxman L100, B&W DM7s.

Me 10 years ago: "The thing I miss most from Windows is Foobar2000. I wish there was a decent equivalent." Me right now [after using FB2K for the few days my Macintop was in the shop): "I still miss foobar, I wonder what's the best equivalent these days" Foobar devs: I gotchu fam. In the parlance of our times, oh snizzle. Testing it out now.

Psilocybin (that's Oliver Lieb to you) - Steroids remixes: https://www.discogs.com/Psilocybin-Steroids-Remixes/release/19622 A double pack vinyl release from nearly 20 years ago. I have maintained a heuristic since some point in the 1990s: With the rarest of exceptions, remixes of OL's material by other people are crap. OL remixing other people is almost always excellent. OL remixing himself is often the best of the best.

More or less at the end of my rope wit Adobe's bullshit. Officially in the market for new editing software. Currently considering Affinity Photo: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/ It's cheap. $40, or about what one month of Adobe's SaaS bullshit costs. Also looked at Corel's PaintShop Pro (a problem I last used in the early 1990s). It's slightly more expensive at $65, but it's Windows only. (The actual fuck. What kind kind of inhuman monster edits photos on WINDOWS?!?!?) I already have GIMP (FLOSSy AF, screwball UI, but it is free.) The new freeware kid in town is Krita: https://krita.org/en/ I have downloaded it but not installed it yet. That's going to be tonight's project. I've been editing photos in Photoshop on and off for 25-30 years (not an exaggeration, really. I learned PS on a Macintosh II.) It feels weird to be dumping an app that is muscle memory to me, but ADBE seems intent on being as evil as a tobacco, oil or chemical weapons manufacturer so F the MFers.

This is my kind of joke. Since there's no Open Reel Deck Porn thread ...yet. Grassi Lakes - Canmore, Alberta.

The album originally came out in 2014 on Psychonavigation Records. It was my album of the year for 2014, oddly enough. It's the Bandcamp re-release that's new. Oliver Lieb has worked as a mastering engineer for years now and his skills in that area really show in his own work. OL is an absolute master at using reverb and EQ to arrange the elements in his tracks in a glorious fashion. I am actually envious of any Stax owners or HCers with serious speaker rigs who get to hear Inside Voices. It's such a 3 dimensional experience even when listening to it via, say, comparatively humble HD580s and a HRMH.
