Happy Birthday to you, Sir!

John Peel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia said about Teenage Kicks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 'There's nothing you could add to it or subtract from it that would improve it.' In 1978, John Peel played the song twice in a row on his Radio 1 show. Peel often rated new bands' songs with 1 to 5 stars. He liked "Teenage Kicks" so much he awarded 28 stars. "Teenage Kicks" was acoustically covered by Snow Patrol in tribute to John Peel, and was played at his funeral. He wanted the lyrics on his tombstone, and his wish was granted John Peel gets Teenage Kicks epitaph - Telegraph

Have you considered mpd (music player daemon) Music Player Daemon Community Wiki as the back end / server based player You an use lots of different front ends as clients (Clients - Music Player Daemon Community Wiki) to drive the back end (just like another software based back end I could think of) Have you tried contacting ( or inviting) linuxworks from the other place He has even gone as far as creating Hardware based network client controllers for mpd ...

RIP Les. Responsible for for, not only works of beauty, like this But also the multi track innovations, amongst many other things. Les Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A true innovator. We have much to thank him for.

Now posted in the correct thread. With the correct names :palm: Cut-N-Paste from the other place (since corrected ) First off, mad props to meet meister jp11801 for making this happen, and going the extra mile to ensure that there was enough room for everyone. Several bags of kudos to the vendors for bringing some impressive products, and supporting the community. This felt like a mini can jam, with another chance to experience some of the best our hobby has to offer, both in equipment, and the people that make it so rewarding. It also felt like can jam in that there was an embarrassment of riches, and still not enough time to sample all the gear, or spend time with everyone you wanted to. The photo's give you an idea of just how much high end kit was around, and yet it was just as much fun to catch up with people, put faces to names, and help the meet first timers. On the transducer side, the two highlights were the same as at Can Jam. The JH-13's and the HD-800's Iron Dreamer was doing an excellent job making sure that people experienced the JH-13's to their full potential. I was impressed with them at Can Jam, and I was not disappointed here. I described them as "Stupid Good" as it is just ridiculous how good they sound. They are impressive from a Sansa Clip playing flacs, as a minimalist rig, and were more impressive yet from the usb pico dac/amp from a laptop. Not only on the usual audiophile suspect tracks, but also on a wide variety of music, which I think is telling. They shine in meet conditions due to the isolation, which lead to the surreal experience of being a few feet away from JP involved in a spirited conversation, seeing his lips move, but hearing nothing. Life imitating the art of his "Problem Solved" T-shirt. I wonder how long it will be before someone comes up with a balanced system that pairs with the JH-13 ... Thanks to Voltron, for allowing his HD-800's to be tried out the systems at the meet. I managed to spend some quality time with Fallen Angel's β22 allowing me a chance to enjoy this quality paring. At a recent BBQ, a non head-fi'er on being informed of the HD-800's existence and their cost responded "$1400 headphones? How is that even possible:confused:". It is possible, and we should rejoice in that possibility. I did Al is also to be commended for the mini Van Jam recreation as we headed out for the near obligatory In-N-Out run. No smoke or fire this time, but there was a curiously large amount of liquid for no discernible reason. I dread to think what Chicago holds for us. Other highlights from the blur that was the rest of the meet included (but were not limited to) Frank Cooters gorgeous tube based works of art AMB, the man, the designs, the builds, and the cryptic comment to "watch this space" Fallen Angel's impressive collection of Amp's and Headphones, glad we managed to find sources for them all Linux Works DIY control systems Seeing double with two Reel to Reels in the same room Engaging people who recognize a broken protocol when they see one, in conversation Blessingx's attempt to corner the market in out of production Parasound DAC's Matt Fury - for making it in from Vegas, Baby! Seeing all the new faces - which bodes well for the future bigguy's wife Becky's tasty treats - always good to end a meet on a sugar high! Here's to the next Bay Area Meet! **************** Additional pic's would be redundant

Quite Right. Late posting and having read too much "What are you eating now" must have left me dazed and confused. Let me correct that.

Happy Birthday, Tyll. Telling you to go enjoy yourself is redundant at the best of times, today especially so. Just let us know the highlights

Amazon Kindle doomed to repeat Big Brother moment ? The Register That's why having to trust third parties to always do the right things carries its own risks. e.g. revocation lists, or assuming that authorization servers will always exist, and be reachable. A right is not what someone gives you; it's what no one can take from you. Ramsey Clark Back to our discussion on music....

No, I was not the author. I think there's a clue in the By Stewart Meagher at the head of the article Its not often I'm accused of brevity or conciseness. I'm flattered

Buy? as in own, or subject to First-sale doctrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ? More likely just a license to listen that can be revoked at any time. Ask the kindle owners about the copy of 1984 they thought they bought. The Customer Is Always Wrong: A User's Guide to DRM in Online Music | Electronic Frontier Foundation Today? seems its lasted a bit longer than that

I think this comment from the comment section summed it up nicely No one cares about liner notes For years now we have been hearing about the "value adds" that liner notes an album art brings to some nonexistent view of music listening. You know what? NO ONE GIVES A CRAP ABOUT ALBUM ART OR LINER NOTES. That stuff might have been vaguely interesting before everyone had unlimited access to a band's web site, but now it's all just garbage. The only utility in the art is that it shows a nice icon on my ipod. That's not something worth paying for, and no way in hell people are going to drop mp3 or aac just to get them. Indeed, try google, wikipedia and allmusic, for starters to supplement the "official" web site. Then there are the obsessive fan sites that seem to know more about the artists and their work than the artists themselves. Handy for dead/obscure artists / pre-internet groups.

Better yet, Live action! (@ 0:55 and ~ 2:00) There might be one here JREF Forum - Smilies that we can "borrow" just a few to chose from

Music industry plans new digital format - The Inquirer Anyone from generation XYZ care to comment, or was the article too long for you? Anyone else remember the Hawk Log mentioned in the comments?

Pah!

Indeed.

I'll suggest that to Joanne. Will let you and Stacy know she is amenable to the idea. I know Fry's and In-n-Out are not too far away maybe they can think of some other locations.

Al, sorry to hear of your predicament. Here's hoping for the best outcome. Do you still have any of the Can Jam thank you left for self medicating? Isn't there a Dispensary in Mayberry that can help in easing the pain? If you need any help for the NorCal meet, let me know.
