Dusty Chalk

I got nothing. It's actually a really nice song, but it's obviously lyrics oriented, and I'm not a lyrics listener, so... I got nuthin'. (My life's too short for me to give it much more effort than one listen. Sorry.)

Happy birthday to my favourite wine enthusiast! (party favour noise)

Thanks for posting that, didn't realize Riverside had a new one. Going to listen to it now soon. Fauna is great, though. I think I like it even better than Virus. I might have to raid that chart for ideas, myself, I'm about ready to get back into something else other than my comfort music.

Happy belated birthday, Justin! (party favour noise)

David Grissom liked my comment on Facebook, so I should probably listen to some of his music -- any recommendations?

Do you have to assemble your own sushi?

Sounds like you have G.A.S. for the sake of G.A.S. Grace is a good company, feel free to stick with that...unless you feel like you're actually missing something. And in that case, you may want to make sure there's impedance matching between components. Other than the Schiit line of gear, I don't know what DACses are popular any more. (I don't have one, myself, though, so it might just be that they have a memorable name.)

I did, and I still am continuing to. It's a better driver than I am! Doesn't tailgate, let's me know when my steering is sloppy...

Thank you for continuing sharing your impressions.

(begins to besmirch, thinks better of it, shuts it)

Oh, okay, at least you're already familiar with them. They got more gazey, but while retaining the metal.

Happy birthday, Kerry! (party favour noise)

I was going to ask why they're called "Dirty Cello", but after seeing said cello (and having owned Quad 12L's in gloss black), I think I know.

In more reality based news: my Impreza is in the shop, so they gave me a loaner. Turned out, it was a 2024 Crosstrek. I get to keep it through Wednesday. I think they want me to fall in love with it and buy it. The first part is working. The second part would work if I had enough money. Except it's blue. And I would want a moonroof/sunroof/whatever. Everything else is :chef's kiss:

I love Alcest. Enjoy. Check out Holy Fawn when you get a chance. Their latest album, Dimensional Bleed, is pure, unadulterated bliss. Nice. I love that album. If you like that sort of thing, also check out Alleycat by Nucleus. And if you want a rabbit hole to go down, check out T-Square and Casiopea.

My ex used to do rallies like that when she was young. She had a real knack for that sort of thing (she could guess most dinner bills to within a dollar, and usually got it closer). Also, billiards (the whole thing about rebounding and getting it as close as possible, but not touching... Sounds like a blast! Do get someone who is good at simple math like that. You can speed, but only if you're making up for lost time.

Wow, that's only an hour away, I wonder if they're hiring...I could probably contribute some records from my parents' collection that I inherited. EDIT: OHMIGOSH, they are.

The person in the video is not Wednesday Campanella, but rather Kom-I, in the same way that Christopher Walken is not Fatboy Slim. Watch for the 90 second oner starting at 0:13. EDIT: I am wrong, that is, indeed, a member of Wednesday Campanella, and the singer, but she left in 2021, so the current lead singer doesn't look anything like that.

I made my chili pork & beans again -- turned out super delicious!
