An isolation booth will provide plenty of isolation, and then you can wear whichever headphones you damn well please. Only don't forget to come out once in a while, your kids miss you.

Good luck, srsly.

Williamsburg AleWerks Brewmasters Reserve Grand Illumination barleywine Ale -- is good.

Alright, Ray.

I have to add Melissa auf der Maur's Out of Our Minds to my list, and yeah, if I get around to listening to that Unsun again, I may have to add it to my list as well.

Yeah, these look like they're facing outwards from the vehicle. And yes, I realize deep bass is non-directional, but...aren't drivers designed for better dispersion etc. from the front -- they're not designed to have the optimal response from the backwave. Also, they look wrong. So that's just out. They look like those passive baffles or whatever it is that Wilson-Benesch do.

Amplifier, The Octopus -- contemporary prog -- bombastic (in the Beatles/Flaming Lips way, not in the Mahler way), a little all-over-the-place...I like!

And perhaps have the drivers FACING THE RIGHT WAY!

Schiller, Atemlos (live)

Dude, that sucks so hard.

I started to type all the things I liked about it, and ended up synopsizing as I did above.

I've seen one or two episodes of this here and there, that is not by any means the way to see it. Start from the beginning.

Can be done.

I The Onion.

Stuck. And the correct terminology is "Someone should stick this thread." Me: Little Boots/Gary Numan collaboration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWL6gsUoNFw, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEQW4lnonno, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EETEv1Xt4WY, and a bonus, (w/just Gary Numan).

Nice specs, and I approve of the color scheme.

My thoughts exactly. Not verbatim, but...close enough. I think I might have said, "yeezh" instead of "sheesh".

So say we all. I'm so glad we have you, Tyll.

Had some more Eau de Cookie II last night. It was better than it was the previous night -- I can't imagine beer needing to "breathe", though.

Tyll's there somewhere. Live updates!

Tuna salad samich. You mean, "when...".

Regarding the video/shootout -- I wish they had used a higher-res source -- analog/live sound, perhaps? I mean, they have a whole studio around them. Running a CD (16/44.1) into a high-res convertor doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Actually, I think Al was trying to say he suspects Monster is going to go after them, not that they have already.

Little Boots, Hands -- synthpop on the order of Goldfrapp, Kylie, et al. Quite retro and very pop, but with some strong songwriting underneath: Little Boots - Stuck on Repeat
