Damnit, that's not what I thought it was...

I have a kimono just like that one on the side. I start my day the ToeTunes way. Extra bonus! -- they double as faux-burns. I wonder if those are Lowtherses...

Wait, can one be knowingly genuinely ironic? I know it's technically possible, but it sounds oxymoronic.

They don't go loud well at all -- sound terrible when distorting. But other than that, yes, am extremely happy with them. So with the qualification that you're not trying to overcome a noisy environment (which is what I was doing -- server has a damn noisy fan), they should be fine. Within their limits, they're wonderful little speakers. You want one? I have no need for two, I gave up on that. Also, if you want to borrow one, just to see if they can handle Epica, you're welcome to do that, too. (They really don't handle busy music well, either, but that was not rarely the point, while at work. You're welcome to decide for yourself -- they were not that bad on busy music softly as they were on any music loudly.) The form factor is pure win. HpA -- yes, what I'm basically looking for is a femme-mini-XLR-to- either male-XLR or -to-male-TRS, but the point was to see if I could find a local dealer that would actually have something in stock, like an AKG dealer. Heck, I have several AKG headphones, I might even have something at home. Also, it's 3-pin mini-XLR, not 4-pin. The local Rat Shack and Guitar Center didn't seem to have anything (based on online), and I'd rather not get an adapter (weight on the connector). So if I don't find anything locally, I'll order something from B&H Photo or Markertek or something.

Well that's weird -- the HRT Music Streamer Pro has mini-XLR connectors, not TRS connectors like they looked like when I wasn't looking carefully enough. The Equators have both TRS and XLR inputs, so basically I want an AKG replacement headphone cable.

There's something terribly wrong about Comedienne, and no, it's not the very real-looking shotgun...

Klaus Schulze, La Vie Electronique, Vols. 1, 2, 3, 4 Yes, all 13(?)+ hours of it.

You mean, besides alcohol poisoning? I see no down side.

It's someone sitting in a chair looking for a contact lens but too lazy to fully get out of the chair. Seriously: find someone like aardvark to just add some 3-dimensionality or some shading to the current logo and play with the aspect ratio and/or line thickness and done. Contests are for people who enjoy losing more than they enjoy winning.

Try swapping the headphones back and forth, it might just be the nature of the headphones, in which case the solution is to sell the headphones.

Seeing Camille live was one of the greatest concert experiences of my life, and I've been to a lot of concerts. I haven't watched this yet, but I suspect we have very different tastes in concerts. I also suspect she changed a lot in the last couple years (since I saw her), so will allow that this might be horrible. I know what I'm spending two hours on this evening. And yeah, I only got as far as the end of "Judges" (was that the first song?) on Colin Stetson, but I love a guy who's not afraid to push limits. Will have to watch the rest of that, too.

Sorry to hear about your cat, Ken. Wishing you a peaceful next couple several months with him.

NTTAWWT On an unrelated note, my favourite 'smart' response to <something> sucks dick, "well...someone has to, this dick ain't sucking itself."

Lollers. Reddit has a snark or two on it. EDIT: OMG, this is the best thread ever. Also, someone posted a link to this, I'm crying now:

I need to get my crazy friend to read that.

Newman's Own is awesome. I haven't had their chocolate though, but based on everythin else I've had by them, it'll be awesome. Me: Drunken Noodle from Bangkok St. Thai -- meltingly awesome

Thanks for posting that link. I don't read French, but the background says something about Camille and today, anyone want to tell me what it says?

Yeah, doubling as a pre-pro is a big selling point, I'd definitely line up to get one down the road if it does that.

"Perfect sound forever", motherfuckers!

Damnit, and I already ordered the Equator thingies...

Metric Spotify covers EP and acoustic EP

Or you could just by the refurb MBP on NewEgg right now and network the two together. Or just use it for ripping.

That was probably the option with the $100 shipping problem. EDIT: Actually, what am I thinking? Of course he knows a seamstress, he knows a friggin' costumer, and she's in your area -- my sister. Let me know Al, this is right up her alley, it's only a matter of her availability, I'd be happy to put you in touch with her. You'd have to pay her though, this is what she does for a living, but I'm sure you can work something out. EDIT #2: Sister asks -- because she actually does have some work right now -- is it for the 31st proper, or is there a party beforehand, I.E. Saturday? I.E. what's the actual deadline? EDIT #3: So I'm guessing from "shipping...in time" comment, that it's not for the 31st proper, it's for Friday or Saturday, neh? I say just dew it. You only get to be Dr. Horrible once. Actually, you get to be Dr. Horrible for the rest of your life if you do it right. EDIT the last: confirmed -- you're not going to pay any less paying for my sister's services (but...it'll be better). I say you can do one of two things -- choke it and pay, but take it out of your son's allowance, since it's his fault for waiting until the last minute, or check out the local medical supply stores. I'm a gonna get one of those for everyday wear. I'll see if it comes in pre-blood-splattered, maybe it'll be cheaper. I'd look dapper in a mandarin style cloak.
