I thought we already went over this in ...February? April?

From NPR's first listen, Mogwai's new one, Atomic, is excellent!

If I ever name an album or a song or a piece or something, 'kayaking downhill', you should picture this -- even though it sounds like it should be at the end of, "...as easy as...".

He did, but they're divorced now.

It's basically just a flat response monitor, like one of your ATCses, scaled down. My friend has the Kemperor, it's okay, but not for me. The tweed simulation I posted about sounds much better to my ears. I'll stick with analog until the technology matures.

At least you're honest. And you've reached your limit (of ability to hear). Really, if you want to state your opinion based on conjecture, feck off.

Jo Cox -- British politician Stolen from elsewhere: "Heartbreaking and horrifying. The new disease of the 21st century: Hate. It will destroy us all." Fuck everyone and everything.

Thanks, I haven't been following First Listen for a while, so yes listening to it now...well, oops, seems I queued up Deerhoof first, I wonder how that happened...and the verbal description of Mitski's Puberty 2 and that Israeli sisters/Yemenite Jews doing Arab-language folk songs with electronic touches sounds interesting too...Oooh, I like the new player...anyway, it's queued up, appreesh! EDIT: Okay, now it's playing -- yeah, really dig. So pretty hearing those triple vocal lines.

Is that English or Metric? And why don't the English use English, and why don't the Americans use Metric?

Yeah, it's on my list, along with the El Capistan. Order direct, it's slightly cheaper.

Want.

I'm touching myself tonight.

Aren't you beholden to Texas for the time being, Steve? I've daydreamed about you getting a job with PRS (local-ish luthier), but then I realized you wouldn't move here.

The ER-20 earplugs are rebranded as a lot of other things. To my (admittedly deteriorating) ears, all the tri-flange ones sound similar, so just get one of those at CVS or Guitar Center. Oh, and: JH13.

So which one do I want, the ER4PT? Or should I just get the HF5?

Self-defense is also an option. Christina Grimmie's brother showed that.

Listening to this now -- been actually listening to it all weekend, as I can't take the idea of anything less soothing right now. (Well, I went off and listened to some All India Radio, but that counts as "as soothing".)

I, too, am at a loss for words. RIP to my fellow countrymen and -women. I hope we figure out a response to this psychopathy soon.

I concur. WTF is wrong with people. RIP all the blameless victims. I hope the killer died slowly and painfully.

Yeah, it'd have to be on the weekend the way my schedule currently is, so I'll wait 'til you get back.

Peremptorily inviting myself over so I can see it in person -- Dusty like!

I'm sure your coworkers were jealous -- you really need to learn to share.
