Had some gluten free pasta with some heavily garlicked Bolognese. It was delicious.

I do. Especially when I'm drunk. That's a tweak, man. It does iOS and Android, I wonder if it does linux. That's one thing I miss about this HRT, it stops working every time I switch over to linux.

I concur! My mom was always a stickler for celebrating my birthday and my name's day on those particular days, and I would always try to convince her that there's nothing wrong with celebrating it the weekend before or the weekend after. Last year, I ended up celebrating my birthday all month. PS Happy belated birthday, again. PPS "Dr. John" >> "Mr. Peter"

Today has been an Edison's Children kind of day for me.

I'm e-stalking Ian, also, just now. Probably listening to the new Edison's Children next.

That's...um...for lack of a better term, 'high'?

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Yeah, I listened to the whole thing today. Obtaining. Team source material ueber alles but nothing wrong with a little downstream love FTW.

Periphery, new album Clear live stream Also, The Ocean Collective (sometimes just, "The Ocean"), my favourite post-metal band, I think, are touring, the US even! Woot! link As is A Storm of Light ...although with only 1 date in a four five hour radius (with traffic), I'm a lot more likely to miss this one, but gonna try.

Well they did make that SCD-XA777ES, was it? That Justin favors so much. So maybe we should disconnect the fan and put in some passive cooling, and/or recase it with a larger quieter specialized fan before we give up on it. And by we, I mean one of you DIY guys.

I think he's talking about the fan on the back panel. Although I am now so thoroughly entertained by the peanut gallery's contributions that I almost didn't say anything. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

I bet it sounds really good with Sony headphones.

Yeah, I <3 Anathema. But I've been watching so few concert disks, I still need to see that.

It's been a VNV Nation kind of day for me. I forgot how many instrumentals these guys did. Love 'em!

Well, no, I don't blame you, except inasmuch as you were choosing that particular point from the review to repeat, so it must have been important enough to you that it bore repeating. It was the "royal you". And yes, absolutely yes, I will listen to the rest of the album. Did you miss the part where I really liked the production, even on the one track (also via YouTube, which isn't famous for their resolution)? And I'm sorry if I offended, I always appreciate being pointed at new music.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Alright, let me start with, I'm glad you are enjoying it, and nothing I say should dissuade you from continuing to enjoy it. I enjoy what I enjoy despite many people's attempts to dissuade me, but music to me is greater than language. And it should be to you. But... "...Slayer being played at double speed..."? That's just hyperbole. Have you listened to Slayer? I mean, like, any Slayer? At 0:50, they speed up. I mean, they weren't playing as fast they could yet, and they still sound like any other band sped up. Most of their albums clock in at less than 40 minutes, and yet they still have more notes than most albums 72 minutes long (not just Godflesh, an analogy I often made when people would complain about albums being short). Alright, that's not my only criticism, but I'll leave it at that. It's actually really good, once I got my expectations in place. I completely agree with meticulously crafted. A lot of the better blacker metal is "indie", meaning it's recorded in teenagers' basements, so sounds atrocious -- I can actually make everything out. So...yay! You should also try to find Garden of Shadows. Only two albums from the 90's, but easily the best sounding extreme metal I've heard. I used to know one of the guys (who didn't appear on either album) vaguely, and he said they spent a lot of money on good equipment to make it sound good. Having the overhead on the mixing board and an engineer who knows what he's doing is surprisingly important in "busy" music like this.
