Not That There's Anything Wrong With That.

I was just tired of saying 'NTTAWWT', so I thought I'd channel Stuart Smalley for a change. Vampires, on the other hand, suck.

An Imeem playlist of Abakus tracks. PS Found this interesting: For those who have images turned off, it says A Fine Frenzy, new album, Bomb ina Birdcage available 9/8...hey wait, that's today!

And...that's O.K.

What Operating System? Version? Browser? Version? Linux/Ubunutu/latest, Firefox/3.5.2 here, works fine for me. I use http://mail.google.com/mail/ as my bookmark, try that.

Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom, Days of Mars -- time told -- this is by far my most frequently listened to album from 2005, from 2006 to the present. Classic old school arpeggiator-driven trance-y synth stuff. Very Tangerine Dream-y.

MINI-mini-mini meet.

That's too bad, because a lot of progressive rock songs would meet your "long song" criteria.

Condolences. Hooray!

The only issue -- and it's a minor one if the intended is going to place the main unit in a well-ventilated area -- is that having the transport and the power amp in the same box can sometimes cause heat issues. Never a problem for us that care about our gear, but frequently an issue with mundies. So the intention is CDP->integrated-> passive speakers or CDP -> pre -> active speakers? And expecting reasonably high bandwidht bookshelves, as opposed to a really nice pair of bookshelves and a sub later? Nearfield listening, or full room? How loud? Type of music?

Dude, I could listen to stuff like that all day and never get tired of it. Thanks for posting that description.

First of all, welcome, sorry about your thin skin, &c. Nice to see you here. I pretty much agree with your assessment -- Out of Myself being my favorite as well, but loving every album by them. I actually had not listened to them in a while when I got and heard ADHD, so I really liked it, but didn't realize how much softer it was than previous releases. I really dig the second album. And yes, definitely: RIYL Porcupine Tree. I need to put all four on my iPod.

Exactly. I'm kind of surprised that it's a concern -- I mean, he's willing to live with the guy, but not to trust him with his network/computer? OTOH, it's also possible that the hacker might be external, have hacked into the roommate's computer, and tried to access your friend's computer from the local machine, which is sometimes easier (but less so if they're independent -- the problem is usually because they're set up by the same administrator).

White Willow, Ex Tenebris -- a nice album, does not even hint at where they would go by the time they get to Storm Season, though.

[snarky-troll]So you totally ruined the sound and made the room ugly?[/snarky-troll] I.E. post pics and impressions

That scene @ 0:07 was just so obviously fictitious, it just threw me out of the movie. Wait a minute,

Isn't that the Cranberries chick? How is that?

Porcupine Tree, The Incident -- better rip

I believe this is a new record for us -- it was derailed by the OP.

Or just listening to without being distracted by the vocals/lyrics.

It probably just needs refreshing, and there probably is no way to force it to do so.

Is 'unexplainable' even a word? I always though it was 'inexplicable'.

Ooh, I like this new trend of instrumental versions of disks (Dream Theater also did so on their most recent).
