There's a pair of headphones microphone in that picture? which is to say...(takes viagra...waits half an hour...fap fap fap)...

New The Faint -- warning, may cause seizure if you are prone:

(goes down rabbit hole of Cars videos, including interviews) Damn, I think everyone in the band had a mullet. Also, they were really good. Listen to the bass in this one. And that instrumental break at the end. So good.

I'm-a gonna have to get that, too. Both of them, ackshully. I only have Anniemal, but I revisit it every time Robyn puts out an album, because someone once told me that I would like Robyn, too, but every time Robyn put out an album, I go back and listen to Anniemal, and think, "no, not really, Annie's better". I think I lost track somewhere before she put out Don't Stop. Looks like she put out quite a few EPs and singles along the way, according to discogs. https://www.discogs.com/artist/14923-Annie

Is that the same Annie of Anniemal fame (Chewing Gum, etc.)? EDIT: Oh yeah, look at that, it is.

Muse, Simulation Theory (Super Deluxe) Stretch, where you at, man, I depend on you to tell me these things, like new Muse album.

That first melody she sings...right up there with Stevie Nicks perfection... My contribution:

Unholy carp, really? I need to revisit, sounds like the technology has come a long way...feeling the sound and the strings' vibrations through the fingers to me makes the world of difference...

Oh noes!!!!!

While it may be true for Dan, it may not be true for Yumi. It all depends on the requirements and priorities. It certainly isn't true for me. But other requirements may come into play for Shelly, so I'm not saying that to negate what Dan says, just offering another opinion/data point.

I miss my acoustic.

Happy birthday, Todd! (party favour noise)

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!
