  1. i really want to trade in my burst les paul for a gold top. i need to do that soon. fucking gorgeous.
  2. i've really enjoyed playing it. i find the action to be perfect for me and the tone is plenty mellow relative to my taylor which is much brighter (and the action is a little high for my taste). it's like playing a telecaster neck vs. a les paul neck to me. anyway, enjoying it. oh, and it is so light. so, so light. love it.
  3. Did a thing last weekend that starts with a D and ends with an 18 that I do not regret…

    Vinyl

    Lush beauty.
  5. It is an interesting function of linguistics…and English in particular. It is because four or five syllables in a cadence for some reason carries a weight with it that promotes emphasis. It weighs a ton does not connote the same type of interesting emphasis as it weighs a metric fuckton. You don’t get a lyrical cadence in the former so it sounds less exceptional. It is the same reason for the proliferation of white people using the term “literally” in front of any type of single syllable direct object for the purpose of emphasis instead of the proper use of the term (ironic). I am literally dead connotes so much more emphasis than I am dead. Anyway. Humans are weird.
  6. on the topic of hi-fi, much like everything else in this world, it is all headed towards being one fucking company. samsung, who owns harman, purchased sound united for $350 million. sound united is marantz, bowers & wilkins, denon, polk, definitive. now those will be under the samsung's roof with jbl, akg, arcam, revel, mark levinson. bose bought mcintosh just a few months back as well. oh well. https://www.stereophile.com/content/sound-united-finds-new-home-harman
  7. either you have not spent time in england or you haven't seen the movie "bend it like beckham." also...west wing nailed it.
  8. beauties. very nice. I would get stands myself just to widen the soundstage a bit anyway (though i may be totally misreading the size of the room). though if you upgraded your isolation pad game just a little bit, putting the turntable on top would not be an issue at all. particularly if you connect a sub that isn't on the table and let it handle everything below 80hz. depends. are you my wife or insurance carrier? i think you have to tell me if you are. on that note, i love them so much. i would reflexively kill every single person in austin except my wife and kids to protect them and ensure their happiness (the monitors).
  9. i wonder if her ex husband and her had separate bathrooms at their house. special level of stupidity that these grifters assign to their supporters.
  10. judy has always been my favorite character but this season, she was the whole show for me. you say it, i'll suck it, fuck it, much it, or punch it. i do not understand how they get a single scene filmed with edi patterson. i would die every time.
  11. i don't like the looks of any of this. but i am an obsessive compulsive clean freak and i polish everything i own twice a day.

    2025 ACL

    Juno position to salvage. pretty meh for me. if i go, it will be for finding something new to listen to outside of isakov and maybe checking out what doja cat is wearing on her ass.
  13. good.

    New Austin Music

    i have to say, i find it incredibly fascinating that most of the music that jimmy throws out there that i have never heard of but sometimes dig always in some way takes me back to his favorite band of all time...garbage. i think a psychologist could have a real field day with that one...

    New Austin Music

    that second song is a legit banger. really enjoyed that one as well as the slow tempo third song. i will seek these guys out...thanks, jimmy. the rest of the songs sound really nice too. that bass player is pure stage presence...lol. in my perfect world, that lead singer gives him a chance and changes his entire essence forever. that whole band is so mismatched in terms of stage presence...that girl gets to carry all the water. eta: lol, their top songs on the streamers is "greg abbott's maxi pad."
  16. i wonder if justin baldoni plays the drums.
  17. there are lots of amazing drummers everywhere. as someone who has picked up drumming as a hobby over the last couple of years, there are no-names on youtube that can play shit i could spend the rest of my life practicing and never be able to do...just like guitar. that said, if i had the opportunity to put together an ensemble of my choice for a studio session to make a "rock" album, the choice on drummer would be by far the easiest. i would not hesitate for even a moment...danny carey. the shit he was playing in the king crimson tour last fall was fucking amazing to see in person. octopus shit but more importantly, incredible feel and groove that has your head bobbing to not the most accessible music.
  18. if you have the ability to listen in spatial/dolby (AirPods max or other binaural headphones...or a 7.1/9.1 setup), you should check out the "in-side" mix for this track (which is just the dolby atmos version). It is fucking wildly immersive.
  19. Port holes you say? This is pro studio as opposed to hi fi technically but my new ATC SCM25a Mk II monitors are a revelation. My god, I’m listening to and making music for the first time ever. Still have the Neumann KH750 sub in the back but my god, if you’ve never spent time in a studio with ATCs, it is my opinion that you have not yet lived. The separation is other worldly…hard to describe. Just insert a bunch of other over-the-top platitudes here.
  20. Welp, now we just have to hope this is the 2005 series against Baylor.
  21. This weekend can officially get fucked obviously. but like I said earlier in the thread, it is typical in baseball for really good teams to go through an eat shit couple of weeks. Augie used to talk about it all the time. The key is fighting through it and regaining the confidence and playing hot before June starts. I would have preferred it not happen against Arkansas because fuck them but they caught us at home a week after series with agros and had their garbage weekends leading up to this. salvaging a game today goes a long way in safely procuring the sec title so they need to give them hell today. Gotta fight through the adversity. hook’em.
  22. that game fucking blew but it was inevitable. hopefully they have the same mental toughness they showed against lsu after the shitty friday night game. that said, most national champs in the last decade have hit a skid in the season at some point and we genuinely have not had that so far. if it is going to happen, rather it happen now than in june.
