Okay, that's more than just the thing, that's the thing and all its zeitgeist...I have no idea how to respond to that.

Sounds like, 'confused' would be appropriate. I've used 'confused' before to mean, "I have no idea how I feel about that".

Cheers -- great pic. It's fairly obvious that you all are related.

Fucking PROG, man! https://prog-sphere.bandcamp.com/track/pandora-n-titolo-n-parole-2

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

I'll keep it in mind if I ever go the noise cancellation route again. Every once in a while, my office mates get so rowdy that even my headphones don't mute them out.

Ribeyes make everything better. Wine, not so much (for me, anyway).

Fucking great set this week, Knucks.

Unholy carp, really? Tell me more. My one experience with noise-cancelling headphones is that they seem to actually make conversations happening near me worse by eliminating all the background noise. That said, I'm happy with the isolating capabilities of the DT1770, so this will probably not lead to a purchase, but I am still curious.

Lollers. Tell them what you said about that Tim Powers book...The Stress of Her Regard, was it? Or was it Hide Me Among the Graves?

Nicely done!

This is great work/study music -- a little more ...anxious than the sort of thing that Knucks plays, but otherwise similar genre: https://asc77.bandcamp.com/album/artefacts-of-rotation

What was the preparation? It almost looks like a ceviche with a sear. I ❤️ ahi/tuna almost as much as salmon.

That's not necessarily wrong, some people toe in speakers to be deliberately off-axis to tame the trebles and to interact with the room differently. I don't, but some people do.

Dogfish Head Alehouse' Nashville Chicken I ate everything but the biscuit, which I mutilated until no-one would want it, so Brent couldn't even enjoy it vicariously.

So first I listened to this playlist, then I listened to Spotify Radio that followed, and it was funny, it deteriorated into King Crimson and covers of King Crimson, so all prog leads to King Crimson.

Those are impressive.

Audience participation numbers are the worst.

Went to PRS Experience today for a couple hours, that was fun. Didn't buy anything. And this is why I don't usually do pictures -- the one guitar I was most fond of -- a beautiful private stock with a magenta/fuchsia top, fretboard, and headstock, didn't come out for some reason (I had just changed my battery). Either that or I forgot to take a picture of it. https://imgur.com/gallery/OqTx9iH

So great -- love the atmosphere and the ambience and the dynamics and the ebb and flow and ... and... and... This might be the single greatest thing they've done (IMHO).
