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:

Shepherd’s pie again

They lost me at "Jack Sparrow impersonator"... https://people.com/human-interest/woman-who-married-300-year-old-pirate-ghost-announces-marriage-is-over/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social-share-article&utm_content=20181214

Quite. I have a friend that thinks Baker Street is one of the GREATEST SONGS EVAR and I have to admit, it is perfect (I wouldn't change a thing about it), but I recently went back and revisited the entire album, and Right Down The Line is pretty perfect, too. I still think those are by far the strongest two tracks off the album. Me: I think Eutow might be my favourite track off the album.

It's an American staple. You might as well ask if we are "of a certain age". I was kind of young, then. I stopped watching when they got experimental (no laugh track, etc. -- last season, I believe). Nowadays, I would probably embrace it and applaud them. I must trust your judgement, as I never even tried the dub (and I usually do -- Buffy (the series) in Spanish is entertaining as all get-out -- even though I don't know an ounce of Spanish -- and there are several anime that are made to be watched both ways (Ghost in the Shell: Innocence is a slog with subtitles, as you spend most of the time reading, and a whimsical philosophical diatribe when watching the dub -- I.E. the dub is much more worthy of a watch).
