aardvark baguette

I think it was sometime in 4th grade when I heard my friend's older brother playing White Zombie and I remember being extremely drawn to it. Walkmen and discmen were my most valued possessions from then on. I remember Weezer's blue album and Gin Blossom's New Miserable Experience being the first CDs I ever bought. I remember my dad confiscating them, along with Pearl Jam's Vs. and Ace of Base, proclaiming I was only going to listen to christian music from then on. That's when I swore my allegiance to heavy metal and led me to heavier, darker music. Tops is still the hearing Vulgar Display of Power on my walkman on a middle school field trip that a friend lent to me. That buzz lasted years and years. Ipod mini was where the audio quality actually started getting good in college. HD650s > assorted 2nd tier bullshit headphones > better dacs/amps > Endgame ATC speakers. Nothing has come close to ATC, though they all had some admirable qualities obviously. For me its about maximizing whatever releases I like, and progear seems to be the best way to do it with the minimum snake oil bullshit along the way. I never cared about soldering techniques, I want to hear the music put to tape during the recording, and they usually used a similar progear chain so that makes sense to my simplistic, uncomprehending mind. I guess I'd rather hate a recording for what it is than love it for what it isn't. Music is human action and I want to be part of the conversation.

the room is pulsating in the best way...

dont know about the pass, but the big knob is the pass look now. people like things that match.

its been a while for me, but what if is mandatory. i bought it in 2008 according to amazon, couldn't find it so i just downloaded the mp3 from their cloud thing. ...then promptly bought the shm cd on amazon in the hopes of it being less hot. but either way what if is pretty spiffy. a little bit of everything.

watched the ending of Super Buddies with my niece and thought this must be what acid is like. first the yellow pig, then the talking monkey. that monkey... and it's all in HD so it looks better than it has any right to.

i am so into this album lately

classin' up the aardvark house. w/ a taco bell baja blast freeze.

Massive house clean up and furniture rearranging. I feel like I just moved into a new house. Good for the soul.
