So does Sunday still come after? We'll see..

Agreed -- I have a feeling they think even more lowly of him (them? the family radio people) for the whole "giving us a bad name" thing.

I feel really bad about this, but not that bad that I'm not still going to do it -- I'm going to call my religious friends next week, "...oh, just checking in, wanted to see if you were still around..."

I thought it was 5:45 am?

I've had this discussion before, although not with you -- well-recorded metal, hard rock, etc. -- what I call 'busy music', mostly because of the distorted guitars -- benefits the most from high res. Also, large scale orchestral works. No, I haven't gotten around to purchasing it yet. Also: Jeff Lynne productions & the like. Also: the last two tracks have some of my favorite guitar tones, evar. Also, the triangle at the beginning of YYZ. Also, the breaking glass. Also, the guitars that were recorded in the middle of a lake for Red Barchetta. Sent from mah Droid

Fuller's vintage -- not just yum, but holyshitsnacks yum. Sent from mah Droid

That's awesome that that's on a .gov site.

I don't know, but yes, recently. They had good beer the last time I was there, too, so at least for several months now.

Always interested in something new. Speaking of which: listening to The Octopus by Amplifier now. Digging.

Really glad you liked it. Finished The Reckoning. Started The Gathering. More tweeny stuff, but I'm enjoying it. Not as much as Women of the Otherworld stuff, but still enjoying it well enough. Can't wait for Spellbound, though. Read The Touch of Twilight (Vicki Petersson), started City of Souls. I don't know -- she keeps painting herself into corners, so I'll finish the Zodiac series, but don't think I'll read anything else by her.

Castle Also: Archer.

If you watch that video of her appearance on whatever that radio show was at google, they go over it quite a bit -- she can basically control every layer independently, except they're all synced up. Me: Anathema (just Vinny and Danny doing an acoustic set with looping) and Blackfield -- was an awesome show, I actually like their (Blackfield's) slower stuff better than Porcupine Tree's (I find PT's slowest stuff "sleepy", whereas Blackfield's is not). The Anathema set ruled. Real interesting rendition of Broken, and they played all excellent songs. Also, the best I've ever heard the 9:30 club, due to acoustic sets not having a whole lot of bass to fuck up).

(rolls eyes @ obstinate ...er...whatever the opposite of progressivism is...retardation?)

Sam Adams Wee Heavy -- which was a bit heavy, go figure. Otherwise, very good. Earlier: Old Rasputin & Cigar City Marzen on tap at 9:30, which were both very good.

Congrats, Nate!

Drove an audi a3 pzev...like a boss. Sent myself a whole bunch of CD's. About to get on train to airport. Sent from mah Droid

Any clues as to who was the manufacturer?

I paid $1 for my Droid. That was a one-day deal on Dell, but you should be able to get it for a lot less than $200, now that it's "previous generation" technology. Of course, I am not burdened with the experience of anything more contemporary/faster/whathaveyou.

Yeah, I have to agree, except for entirely different reasons -- when I am active (I.E. breathing through my mouth for extra air), I have a tendency to change the shape of my ear canals minutely, albeit constantly. Add to that sweat (I.E. lube), and you have the recipe for an inferior listening experience using IEM's.

Earlier @ Alembic: anchor brown & an 'orange & black', which was actually pretty good considering 1/2 ipa; tried Al's pale horse & vow of silence (cocktails), both of which were good, but the pale horse was superb Now: some malty dubbel @ Toronado Sent from mah Droid

Nothing. And I'm hungry. I should go eat something.

No, you got trashed for not speaking clearly, and speaking in hyperbole. Take, for example, your above statement, comparing it to the Benchmark. I don't even know what it means -- so which is better? Are you saying the FiiO E7 is a better DAC at its price point than the Benchmark is at its, or are you saying it's just plain better? Also -- what was the point in picking on Tyll? It's hypothetical anyway -- you said, "if in same town", like you want to downplay the part where one of you would have to travel to the other. Really? You don't think we know the game of this by now?

Premarin? Might get some steroids out of it, too, since it's essentially horse piss.

Halou's Wiser show was glorious. I was in heaven for an hour or so. They must have rehearsed the shit out of it, because she hit every single note spot on. The chick from Unwoman (on cello) was astoundingly cute, too (Rebecca was gorgeous), and Patrick the drummer was groovin' with a groovy groove, and Ryan was in an inordinately good mood that was just contageous. And the violinist and double-bassist were very good, too. So glad I came, so glad I went.
