Trans-Siberian Orchestra -- think of it as innoculation against Christmas carols, which are just a little too ear-wormy for me. Also queued up: Scrooge 1970 soundtrack.

1 - get a friend to help you? One to catch the driver, the other to push from the other side? Is it possible the screw holes aren't square? I.E. that they only line up one of the four ways? So that there is an 'up'?

Yup, worked for me, too. Try clearing your ips-chat-service.com cookies, Dan.

Every time I try to embed an image, it says I can't, but then does it anyway.

Samsung told me to go talk to Verizon, Verizon told me to get it from Samsung. Do they wonder why we jailbreak our phones?

Yeah, my friend (the big Porcupine Tree fanatic) always gets the super versions -- you have to be a big Lasse Hoile fan -- which he is, he loves art -- to justify it. I'm with you -- I just want the music, in the best possible sound, with as many extras as I can justify.

Last year? Seriously retro -- it (and other Astra releases) kept coming up on my personalized Amazon gold box deals, I thought it was a reissue or something. I'll get it next time it comes up.

g'luck.

Meh, fuck you both. Although, I have to admit, mine seems to be a step up from the usual 'paltry' to 'adequate', and that's with Spotify streaming continuously:

Happy Birthday, Ken! (party favour noise)

https://soundcloud.com/olsentwinpeaks'>Olsen Twin Peaks -- they started following me on SoundCloud, I was intrigued by their hilarious name, their own description: They sure do make a lot of noise for two people.

I'm alright with it. It rocks, that's all I ask.

About the only Christmas music I can tolerate is old school jazz, old school soul, Tchaikovsky, Puppini Sisters, and Reindeer Room. That last of which is what I've been listening to, on and off today. Also, King Crimson, Larks' Tongues in Aspic

Sounds like they might be good for mastering.

Tyll, d'you know anything about this?

AKG M-80 Mk II, thirty dollah, no cookie, today only

Alcest -- French shoegazer metal, medigs

Cut'n'paste from an email I just got: I may have to get one just to go with the HDP I just got.

Not just Jewish -- we're doing Chinese this year, too. It's a grand tradition, I like it. Got my mom into it a couple years ago, she likes the 'not cooking' part.

Wow, I have never had anything that was so good that made me want to say that. Now that's a finish.

Aye, that's what I paid.

7 was the best.

If you go to the speedtest.net site, there's a link for something called TuneUp Utilities -- it actually is pretty good to the point where I bought my own copy.

Patenbrigade: Wolff, Baustopp! -- you would think from their album cover: ...that they're industrial or sprockets or somesuch, but they're actually very pretty electro, the kind with the words "chill" or "3am" in the title. Varah nahs!

It's not just that, it's just not intuitive.
