Another of my albums of the year, this one has a laidback groove and is just a bit lethargic...

I’ll second the Dynaudio recommendation, the Esotar2 tweeters in my Special Twenty Five consumer speakers are second to none for upper frequency extension, and I believe they are available in some of their professional Minotaurs. Well...maybe they are second to Focal’s Beryllium tweeters. Which are also available in their professional monitors. Good luck hearing the difference, though. I still laugh at guys who claim they can hear directionality in wires.

Summoning, Myrkur -- yeah, these are 6oth aweʃome. Will give Amaranthe some listens next.

I had a turkey-breast and cheese from Subway earlier -- like a steak & cheese, except turkey breast sandwich meat. Oregano, pepper, jalapeños, olives, cucumbers, tomatos...delish!

Hey, if you find something that sounds like Taylor Swift doing atmospheric gothic metal, let me know. Did you see my song of the year? After listening to your birthday list, I think you might like.

Yeah, I capitulate, they've been banned. Sure had the forced randomness of a bad liar.

This is awesome!

This might be my favourite song of 2017. It's metal, so I suspect this will appeal to people like Colin more'n Stretch, but anyone is of course welcome to listen and decide for themselves. It's long and post-rocky at first, gets just dissonant and hard enough in the middle, and then trails off like a sunset. Cinematic, evocative, it's their "Rain Song", their "Stairway to Heaven", their "Purple Rain", their side 3 of ELO's Out of the Blue. But don't blame me if the lyrics are lame, because I don't really hear them.

Condolences.

Unholy carp, that sounds amazing!

Next time you drive down to the lake house, stop by Dixie Bones, they make a pretty mean brisket.

I blame Colin.

Hey hey hey, at least they're not hear to hawk wares or demand advice, I'd say that's a step up from the usual Head-Fi-is-down-again crowd. Besides, maybe it's Steve Zissou. What we really want to know is what whisky you're drinking while reading Dan Brown -- I'm thinking something expensive but easily obtainable.

No, I was not. (assumes fetal position)

There are more if you click on the tweet.

Holy shit, does he not understand net neutrality?

I don't think he means to sell it...

A song of driving away fast, I think

Do you think the electrons do more work going up and down, fighting gravity?

I’ve just recently discovered her, myself.

^ Those!

Who the fuck do you live with, a Keebler elf?
