Happy Father's Day, all y'all!

You what?

Me: slept. After fine dining and bevs with Colin and Jeff, drove home (managed to get home very quickly and avoided the rain), fell asleep in my chair at my computer. Got up, went to bed. All in all, I think I got 12 hours of sleep.

Uh...no, they sound more like open Leatherheads, or like Grados...with bass...and without that bump in the presence (that makes female voices so euphonic). Actually, now that I think about it, they kinda sound like my Special 25s (Dynaudio).

So am I, and I don't even like bacon as much as you all do. (Every time I go into Red Apron, though, I eyeball the one huge slab of bacon that they have...)

Yeezh dude, WTH? Did you forget it on the burner, was it a cheap ass pan, or 'other'?

I know I wouldn't sell mine for less than US$3K. I mean, it's not like they make them any more.

Bunch of Phideaux (hint: say it out loud) and Beardfish -- prog Also: wait, what, he used to direct General Hospital, amongst others? That's just a weird pair of achievements.

He actually doesn't have any PS-1s (as per Most Wanted). I do, however. I haven't listened to them in a while. Every time I am tempted to put them up for sale, I listen to them and talk myself out of it. Feel free to make me an offer anyway, I could be tempted. I should go listen to them. I could buy a Rhodes or something with the money, or down payment on a new car. Back to the topic -- I had a pair of HP-2s that I was going to send in to him -- mostly because of a channel imbalance. So there are perfectly legitimate reasons to want them refurbished. But I lost them.

I been looking, believe me. Haven't opened my bottle of Blue Eyed Boy yet.

I'm pretty sure they say rasher down South, too, same places that sell "grits".

Orange is the New Black -- s02e04, "A Whole Other Hole" might be my favourite episode yet. I will never look at "Almost Paradise" as anything other than a song about the urethra.

Well, I might finally join Amazon Prime...

Condolences, Al; RIP, guys.

(and previously, )

@ The Perfect Pour in Columbia, MD -- Jeff, Colin, you wanna go?

Blurred City Lights (both) -- really dug this, there's something about the male vocals that makes this not sound like Yet Another Curve Record. It also sounds like Kevin Moore / the softer side of OSI.

How is it? Me: just finished season 3 of The Killing. Also: Orange is the New Black

Seconded and the motion passes.

I bet more Americans have seen Young Ones than Drop Dead Fred.

Borscht. Beets and cabbage. That works, too.

I don't get NS10s -- I kind of get the impression that mixers and masterers actually take them seriously. I almost mentioned them with the Avantones, but in the end decided not to as per above confusion.

Actually, I think they're being used as two different preferences/flavors. Genelecs and ATCs are both considered upper tier, even (especially?) by those in the industry. The go-tos for "real world" are the infamous Avantones.

I suspect he listens to them one at a time, rather than simultaneously.

That's some serious fucking diffusion.
