Happy birthday, Ric! (party favour noise of non-denominational soundings)

...because someone likened it to Black Sabbath...oh yeah...all right now...

Yeah, I remember because I went down the rabbit hole of first watching his other videos (especially the other Live Plus Près De Toi videos) and then listening to whole albums on Tidal and liking all of it. Will check out the new album. I liked the video particularly much because it shows all the instruments in enough detail that if you had a fetish for them, you could get off on the close-ups. (I’m thinking of the Wurlitzer electric piano, Linn drum machine, and Roland string synthesizer, not just the two hot women. Alright, maybe not the synthesizer. I mean, who has a fetish for Rolands?)

Didn’t you share that before? Loved it then, love it now.

Happy birthday, Ken! (party favour noise)

Having seen them live...can confirm. On both counts. But I think it’s largely bluster, because if you watch the Eagles of Death Metal movie, he’s actually a great guy.

Several episodes of Am I Bill Bailey? Produced by Edgar Wright and featuring guest appearances by Simon Pegg. He's a pretty freakin' brilliant musician. I hear Vienna, We Are Family, Lady in Red, Bela Lugosi's Dead, I Will Survive, Eye of the Tiger, I Will Always Love You, Paradise City, I'm So Excited, and I don't know if I missed any (starts at 25:22) : And this bit, which starts shortly after the 10 minute mark, had me laughing hard. It basically answers the question, does humor belong in music:

Also, part 2. Also:

I did, but there are apps (like Mixlr showreel pages in any browser) that don't have volume controls. And: I did, pretty much right after I posted. It's not bad in terms of degradation, and does exactly as advertised. And: I appreciate all the other advice. Will live with this for now, since it's not critical listening...will revisit when I critically listen. (Which is hardly ever these days.)

Neither my Mac mini nor my DAC (HRT Music Streamer HD) have a volume control -- what's the better option -- software, or preamp? And if software, what software? I was thinking of something like this for a cheap solution: https://staticz.onfastspring.com/sound-control

Sorry, my bad, I had heard this a couple days ago, but dorked my computer...

But still sombre...has a vaguely Kurt Weill feel to it. Please also check out Young Gods play Kurt Weill. https://www.discogs.com/The-Young-Gods-The-Young-Gods-Play-Kurt-Weill/release/71430 Oooh, ooh, ooh, I just figured out why the title track sounded so familiar -- I heard him sing it ~7 years ago:

That was superb! Went back and looked up the original, too.

Something like that.

:drool:

I was just trying to remember who did that. I’ve been wearing a cowboy hat and my mask, and explaining myself thusly: you know, in the days of the Wild West, cowboys used to wear bandannas to keep dust and bugs out of their mouths...well, this is just a high tech version of the same thing—only it’s for pollution and allergens. I’m a Space Cowboy...bet you weren’t ready for that...

Criterion sale is back at Barnes and Nobles.

Your poltergeist laughs at being called an Eldritch god, but then she hasn’t read much H.P. Lovecraft.

That’s a real band, by the way. ‘T’s’why I posted it here and not in slow forum. I hadn’t seen this before:
