No. Just a spectacular shot of a guitar. It sparkles! If I ever get a private stock (PRS' custom shop, where you can specify everything, which that one is), it'll be a crossfade red-purple/purple-blue/blue-green. This one may or may not be mine (I'll know when I get it):

Inspired by my loveneeaddiction to Chop't's Tapatio Ranch dressing, I mixed Sambal Oelek and Ranch. Now eating: salad with Sambal Oelek Ranch -- it's delicious.

You all must be talking about a different Colin. That's just not metrosexual at all.

Listened to Steve Joliffe's tribute to Edgar Froese, "Magical" (a single, ~hour long track of improvised electronica) -- fairly excellent. Now bingeing on Tangerine Dream (mostly Virgin and Private Music eras).

Isn't it?

Um...ivibe? Or whatever it's called.

Yeah, okay, but two captured the essence, so ( a ) thanks for the amplifying pic, but ( b ) I'll leave mine as is. EDIT: Unrelated:

I started to, then changed my mind. I don't know what's wrong with me, feel free to diagnose. Yeah, yeah, I know, "you want a list?!?"

Sony MDR-V6/-7506 and spend the rest on cupcakes

That's funny, I was just watching this: https://youtu.be/OOU1nDTPg38?t=23m8s

Oh, those things are just lights, and aren't part of the instrument? I am disappoint.

What the hell is he playing?

This is quite fab, and great late night music. I particularly like Bollywood and Know that You Know.

I know, right? And it's not like she doesn't know what's going to happen, she's got the basic story lines written out for the next five years: I highly recommend Lost Girl in the meantime, it's vaguely October Daye ish. Except sluttier.[/Richard Castle voice] Also? Best sidekick ever.

Yeezh

No, sorry, it's pure physics. Mass requires force to move. Sure, if you have umpty times as much force as some weakling amp driving 4x12 you'll get faster, but ... there'll still be a lag, won't there? When I said "favourite" about the Krell, I meant to talk about, not to actually own or hear -- I've never heard it, and have no interest.

Yeah. I'm not saying you're wrong -- it's there -- I just don't hear it as pronounced as you do. Nowhere near as pronounced as you do. I wish I could find my friggin' cursed %$#@! CD3000s. I also think it has to do with the amp -- I think the NuForce is a particularly good match, because other -- better --headphones don't sound that good out of it. I'll try to spend some time listening to it out of the Oppo and other amps soonish.

Thanks for the setup, got this back on track!

David Grissom -- bluesy rock'n'roll, pretty straightforward -- any track could be used as a PRS tone exhibition. Wish the songwriting was a little stronger -- gets a little samey for my tastes. I'm sure people who appreciated the genre more would appreciate his music more. It's certainly enjoyable enough to listen to.

I have a friend who has one of those (he's kind of a self-professed magnet nut). He says he can't bring it to work. He jokes that it's because it's stuck. But he's one of those people that won't give you the real reason. Unrelated -- for some reason this made me think of this forum:

I have failed this forum.

My favourite over-the-top subwoofer is still the Krell Master Reference -- the literature says something to the effect of "...Representing the ultimate triumph of force over area, the massive yet compact Master Reference Subwoofer houses a Krell Class A amplifier...", but I would say "the massive yet massive...".

I'm not sure I have come quite to that same conclusion (needs more time), but honestly, I can't think of anything else (that he was involved with that's better). It's more of-a-whole than even The Incident. I didn't realize there were smaller stories within the larger story until I saw the concert (and especially the video for "Routine"), but I still think the transitions (in story matter) are so smooth (and thematically consistent -- I.E. depressing as hell) as to be virtually unnoticeable. And yet I still find tracks like "Happy Returns" sublimely restorative and transcendent. And that riff in "Ancestral" just fucking rocks my world.
