I believe "mod-o'-the-mo'" is the correct contraction. And I believe you were in Chicago drinking someone else's cognac.

Where did the requirement to run two monitors come from? The earliest post I can find mentioning it is Nate's.

One down, 19 to go.

Darts == throwing knives adjusted for the weight difference as well? There's also a joke in there about a really small shovel, too, but I'll leave that one alone.

It's true. Fuck! There.

So fucking good, can't get past this track: Also, I pretty much fell in with her at 0:30:

Uh...not necessarily, Hosa usually err on the cheap side. Though, yeah, I don't really think it matters. I seem to remember some items on one of the audiocubes sites (Audio Technica? Yamaha? Denon? don't remember), though, if you want to go all exotic. I'm fond of M-Audio. I have their Transit (or whatever its precursor was).

Nope, completely unnecessary. You only need monitors if you're doing live sound or recording, not with electric drums. Get any old thing. Etymotics, perhaps. ER-4...p? s? n? ...ER-4something.

Barbara Morgenstern, Fan No. 2 -- moar teutonic-ness. Teutonicity. Medigs. She manages to have that bubbling grooviness that Kraftwerk managed on even their least groovy tracks. (And I Kraftwerk, so that is no mean feat.)

There just isn't the room to put a full DVI connector on a laptop. Think of DVI as the larger USB connectors, and HDMI as the smaller USB connectors -- it really is just a matter of a cable. So once you put HDMI back into the picture, that opens up your choices enormously, dunnit?

Neither. Not a good sign. Not just the fact that you don't want to use the search function, but the fact that you're whining about it out loud. (And no, I did not misspell "whinging".) There is no new member section, and we tend not to answer "entry level" questions such as these -- really, that's what Head-Fi is for. Plenty of people over there ready to suggest the Sony MDR-V6/-7506 or the Shure SRH840. Ah fahck. LOL @ "...bugger..."

Mike, Al, and I (amongst others) change our avatars on a frequent basis. I actually didn't for the longest time (the death/watch one), but will probably start changing them again.

Wasn't even aware of its existence, now I need to track it down. Me: Barbara Morgenstern, Enter the Partyzone - Plastikreport

It was my understanding that digital cables and video cables were interchangeable, so you could look at those, too. I tend towards Hosa when I go cheap. That said, they're not usually bundled in threes, so, 'lose', there. Some other non-Monster options: NXG Zax ...I also seem to remember Best Buy carrying non-Monster brands of that kind of thing, but I'm not finding the kind of representation of their selection that I remember online, so you're probably going to have to go in. Yes, in December, right before Christmas, I'm suggesting to you to go into a Best Buy. If you really want to get even, you can suggest to me to go into a post office.

That was one of my favorites from that as well.

Gojira, From Mars to Sirius -- quite possibly the heaviest thing I listen to, short of Opeth. Bring it. It will be brought. Lead singer has a voice like flaking leather. And every once in a while, the guitarist will throw in this squeal into a riff that somehow always seems perfectly placed. Teutonic (despite being French).

Everything Everything, Man Alive -- man, this is strangely enticing. Also, I like their whole "badly downloaded images" thing for the covers, it gives a consistent look to all of them: link

Oh, that's John Waters -- I didn't know that. I thought it was to be captioned, "dude, you should watch where you're ... you just Sharpie

No, I mean the picture with Bieber. I'm sure I've seen the other one in some kind of porn. "Camel Toe Jam", or something.

I don't get the picture.

I did not buy this wall of liquor, but if I ever were to take up drinking seriously, this would be one of the first places I'd go. Sorry for the crappy pic. [ATTACH=CONFIG]4012[/ATTACH]

Hey, look at my harbls. [ATTACH=CONFIG]4010[/ATTACH] HEY, LOOK AT MY HARBLS. [ATTACH=CONFIG]4011[/ATTACH] OH, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CAN'T!!!1! MARK MY WORDS, I WILL (eventually) MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT! [ATTACH=CONFIG]4009[/ATTACH] Maybe later, after you finish scratching me, which will be ... nevar! [ATTACH=CONFIG]4008[/ATTACH]

Yeah, I know, I found it (thanks for posting its name, BTW, Knucks), I was just convinced a long time ago that "just before Christmas" is a really bad time to be getting myself things like this (I am notoriously hard to shop for).
