  1. Gojira, L'Enfant Sauvage One of my favourite metal bands. Hopefully seeing them live in about two weeks, I've missed all concerts except one or two for the last several months.
  2. For some reason, I can't see those last 5 and one or two before that. EDIT: And now I'm getting them on mine -- seems the images are being corrupted...:\ Must be me. I probably have a virus or something. I love the cat one, though -- glad I can see that. Sounds like a name, Linn "Whiskey Cask" Sondek.
  3. An hour and 20 minutes of Klaus Schulze:
  4. (involuntarily shudders)
  5. Found on Facebook with the comment: "Look at the size of that kid's head! It's like a giant pouty feather duster!"
  6. I'm posting that as my status on Fracasbook.
  7. So...? She's...? Marrying the Dalek? Or is that the all-female pic with props...? That knit Tardis cap rules. I want one.
  8. Swamp thang
  9. That ice climber looks like she just bought a Toyota or something.
  10. This is a close cousin to the performer's nightmare. The real performer's nightmare is usually of the form that you're a soloist at a venue "out of your league", completely unprepared, but expected to play anyway. Or naked. Here is the most sincere facepalm moment: http://youtu.be/CJXnYMl_SuA?t=2m42s
  11. I probably should not have called it bizarre, as one can't argue with the results. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk
  12. Well remember they use that bizarre PCL805/18GV8 tube, which, IIRC, is some sort of television tube, which is at an unusual part-way point between power tubes and preamp tubes. Could that have anything to do with it?
  13. The more I think about it...white? Really? [/arrested development voice] Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk
  14. How is it any uglier than, for example, the E.A.R. HP-4? That said, I have to admit, white wouldn't be my first choice for color of any audio component.
  15. No. What is it with all of these superlatives and whatnot lately? I'm pretty sure the all-gilt Singlepower was the ugliest.
  16. Incorrect.
  17. I have yet to watch a Tiny Desk Concert I did not like.
  18. My favourite YouTube guitarist, Sarah Longfield aka MissSmiles4U, dressed as Harley Quinn last night. Nailed it.
  19. Oh me oh my! It's a preamp now?!?!? Want.
  20. I have to admit, I'm going on memory also, which is long enough ago that it may be failing me as well. Also, maybe because the DT880 didn't exist at the time, compared to the DT770 it was bright and not bass heavy. I do agree that I found the DT880 (once it came out) straightforward compared to the bass-heavy DT770 and the (to me) bright DT990. I guess I think of it like this: DT770 \ DT880 - DT990 / (Bit of an exaggeration, but it's the best I can do with ASCII. Imagine me standing in front of you with my hand in the air with a slight slant representing bass-heaviness for the DT770, etc. No, no, I'm not right in front of you, crowding your personal space, I'm standing next to you holding it out in front of both of us.) Also, I have an old (pre-DT880) DT990, so maybe they were different. I did have an HD600 at the time, and remember it having more bass than the DT990, but I don't remember what I had at the time.
