No, I've not heard it yet, but I'm probably not a good person to ask, since I've loved everything they've done since ever. Especially Someone Here is Missing.

Or just become a musician yourself, in which case you are correct, it is better than listening.

What are you listening to Part the Third
F# A# Infinity is one of my favourite post-rock albums of all time. Definitely my favourite by GY!BE.

What are you listening to Part the Third
Fleetwood Mac tribute posted earlier today -- this is outstanding. Starts off with the obscure back catalog gem, "Albatross", includes my personal favourite early Fleetwood Mac track, "Oh Well", slowed down. And that's as far as I've gotten.

Does it feel like someone else is doing it when...? Sounds like you're moving into management.

Kimbra, Vows on Spotify -- this is pleasantly diverse, despite being mostly very poppy. Up next, new Joss Stone...

Quiet Window AC
Chicago. And it's not a humidifier, it's an "air washer". Alright, yes it is a humidifier. Also: not very good for electrostats.

IPA Day
Argh. I'll see if I can find a DuClaw X-5 for tomorrow, that's the only current release IPA I would want. Unless it's the oak-aged Great Divide something. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen any of the Terrapin/Left Hand collab since the move.

Quiet Window AC
There is no such thing as a quiet A/C as of yet, but there are quieter models and noisier models. If you look around, you can find the ratings for some. You have to include some of the keywords such as "quietest" "db" "noise", etc. I can look at my model when I get home, it was the compromise I came up with. There's also lots of things you can do like: Putting an absorbing sound barrier directly betwen you and the unit (without blocking air flow and overall circulation, of course, so "line of sight" only). Putting a cushioning between the unit and the window frame all the way around to prevent sympathetic resonances, vibrations, and buzzes. Making sure it fits snugly. The fewer extraneous parts to fill out the window and add to potential things to loosen, the better. That said, these things are pretty darn quiet, and make a small but tangible difference through the evaporation of water.
