Seems the definition only requires me to be in the vicinity.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Oh yeah, of course you're right, but I'm not the best company when you hearing me snorting my own snot -- it's really disgusting to listen to.

I'm a maybe, probably not. I've been congested since Thursday or Friday, can't hear worth shit. It's weird -- music over my speakers is muffled and unpleasantly clangorous at the same time, and headphones are completely uncomfortable, since I'm constantly "popping" my ears.

First I hear of this -- is this a Head-Fi meet?

Started cleaning out my apartment. Signed a 6-month lease renewal, at the end of which, I need to be downsized and moved out. That was a compromise between renewing the lease for a full year, and going month-to-month at a much higher rate.

But they were adapting -- didn't they have a DAC/preamp at one point, oriented towards people like me who played everything either streamed or cached? Oh, yeah, the aforementioned HA-1. And what about that whole Lexicon debacle? Isn't that the ultimate sign that they had achieved their best-in-class mark, possibly even best-in-all-classes? Also, did they ever get the whole 105-as-USB-DAC thing working more smoothly? I could never get it to work for me.

Sucks. They deliberately announced it on the second so it wouldn't be construed as an April Fools joke.

If you're not familiar with Periphery, this actually sounds nothing like their usual music, and is obviously an April Fools gag to hardcore fans.

Bonus non-Easter-themed:

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Yup, I’m getting into hard purge mode, I know how you feels.

Thanks, all. Understanding helps me remember, so I appreciate all the explanations.

I misplaced my charger, and I don't remember what I can change and what I can't. The DAC/Amp says 12V DC and shows the polarity. That means 12V, right? I can't use a 15V charger on it? I can use higher amperage, but the voltage has to be correct, right? 'cause the charger I thought I had for it says 15V, but the connector is correct and the polarity is correct. But it could well be for something else, like an external hard drive.

Yeah, there are several people here who like their steak rare, that's why I posted it.

I laughed, I cried.

“Send it”? Where?

You didn't claim to be one of your client's entourage? I think that counts.

Yeah, it (Archive) is not really shoegazer, I don't know why I feel that way...maybe they share an ethos? I don't know, I just know I like it. They do get jammy too, but they're no jam band. Unless you were referring to Mojave 3, in which case...never mind. And yes, we dig the Mitski.

Did you ever discover Devics? That bowed saw just slays me. Me -- a playlist of Archive's longer songs + Fuck U: Lights Again Finding It So Hard Junkie Shuffle Controlling Crowds Collapse/Collide Funeral Axiom Shiver Axiom (Reprise) Fuck U Waste An online friend of mine (not from here!) introduced me to this band, and every once in a while, I have to binge them. British, Bit of shoegazer, bit of alternative, bit of triphop, bit of...Radiohead? No, not Radiohead, but someone like them, can't put my finger on of whom they remind me.
