Dusty Chalk

Nerding out:

First of all, kudos to you for encouraging her. Does she play the Casio? To a pianist, it’s all about feel. To be honest, the Clavinova sounds like an upgrade, but Sweetwater have a fantastic return policy, so if you want to combine surprise with actually satisfying her desires, get her one and tell her the other is an option. If you’re not going to surprise her, then by all means, get her to try them out. Just because I say it sounds like an upgrade, doesn’t necessarily mean it is one. https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/pianos/clavinova/clp-625/index.html https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/pianos/arius/ydp-163/index.html

Subtitles -- I forget why that's important? Unholy carp the opening to episodes s01e15 (the one with just a closeup of Greta's face -- so intense) and s01e16 (the episode immediately following ...) I have taken to saying, "gut", in real life.

More Pollard/Daniel/Booth -- love these guys -- old school Berlin school...

Yeah, we’re fine, she asked me how my thanksgiving was, etc. I wouldn’t say we’re still friends, but we’re still friendly coworkers.

Babylon Berlin -- unholy carp!

Kate Bush, Aerial — probably my least listened to Kate Bush album, so can’t comment on the remaster, but musically a lot better than I remember.

I actually don’t remember the show that well. I was more of a McHale’s Navy and whatever that one was with Jim Nabors. And The Wild Wild West. And Ultraman. And Space 1999. Some of those purple-haired chicks were hawt! BTW, did I ever mention...? I found out CGAW was close to my age (within a year or two), so...wasn't lusting after someone who's ridiculously younger than I was. Yay me, not a pedophile!

Jean-Michel Jarre, Equinoxe Infinity He's so great.

Oops...

I ❤️ Pineapple Thief so much. Me: Brunt:

I scare, I share... The apparent expression on the koala's face, like, "what are you doing down there...OH!" The Mexican wrestler look..."El Koala"...

I used to have a video of several uncensored music videos. I don’t remember this one being on it. Nice find. See also, The Chauffeur, Girls on Film (two personal favourites). Also, I really loved that song, especially the stilted syncopation during the chorus. What is that, 10/8? Was that an enema bag?

Feel better, Knuckles!

Stick with the Schiit.

Majeure, Paragon 3 -- "...synth textures, atmospheres, and ambient pieces...", pretty much.

Moar betr!

64 is twice as good as 32. It is the Head-Case way.

Why does that sound so familiar?

I’ve got nothing, but I wanted to applaud the use of the colloquialism. Well played, sir.

Dave Chapelle, Equanimity & The Bird Revelation — really great

Trevor Noah, Son of Patricia — I lollered, multiple times. He knows how to make white people (e.g., me) laugh.

A real audiophile would have something custom made for the vehicle. That said, I used to do something like that, but I would have it by my headrest, like a poor man’s K1000s, behind my head. EDIT: This was a long time ago, in the 80s. It was an ancient Buick LeSabre with bench seats and fins.

Now this ^. Just one track in, but I already know I'll like it.
