Great record, second only to Colors IMHO. Reminded me that I've got that 5.1 mix version of this, and man, that's weird as hell to listen to.

Edit: thanks for the tip on the reissue; this was the original reason for the message. Ha.

Colors was my favorite for a long time but TGM has overtaken it recently. Swim to the Moon is an incredible piece of music.

Back from class and cleaned up the records. Yes is near mint, traffic is also near mint on side 1, VG+ on side 2. Aqualung is VG+, Houses is perfect with only a minor scuff on side 1, LZ4 is also mint, but it's a recent remaster pressing. AiC is also brand new. Listening will commence after they dry fully.

Some wonderful records you have there

Very nice. All stuff I would like to live with again.

I remember really liking that Traffic album, though I can't recall anything about it now: I'd better ask the internet.

And Jethro Tull, at the time of Aqualung, was one of my first live rock concerts. Biggest problem is that you can never, for the rest of your life, sit on a park bench without doing it to that tune!

Cards? Where we’re going, we don’t need cards.

Not even the best credit card for rewards. Locks you into the Apple Pay system.

It actually has some great features, but you need an iPhone to use it.

These are pretty comfortable, which isn't often something I can say about IEMs. You can tell they actually put some thought into the ergonomics, and the fact they are DD means they cared about the sound as well. https://i.imgur.com/CqiKo5L.jpg

I actually use the same ones daily when I need less bulk. Surprisingly competent for a came-with pair of IEMs, good for YouTube and Spotify at least.

+1 comfort, I usually have trouble with IEMs that aren't tiny bullet ones but these aren't irritating enough for me to lose my temper at them :))

Send them over! I'm supposed to be mowing the lawn and... I'm not.

This on their ubistore i guess? Thanks, I'll make sure to grab it!

Yes on Uplay.

Such a nice gesture by Ubisoft! At least someone tries to give like a cool atmosphere or something. Can imagine people getting tired of the circle jerk of life & pointless stress. I am probably going to watch GOT and play Assassins Creed: Unity tonight for peace of mind!

Ok, that's a good one.

I can't fly without my comfort speaker.

The crazy AKG K240s can sound better than you expect. Do you have the Monitor or the DF? The DF is really nice.

I want a DF as I've heard exactly that about them, I've only a Monitor atm

It's a "Monitor" pair.

For sure, if someone broke in and pissed on it I would never let that go.

Good to hear! I’ll be adding an 8x10 rug soon, with a felt rug pad underneath.

What kind of rug?

It's a cheap low pile Safaveih from Amazon with a 1/4" felt/rubber rug pad. Pic: https://i.imgur.com/C33uJgS.jpg

Now your cool status has been upgrade to "Bob Dylan pretending to sing We Are The World": https://j.gifs.com/wmjNN8.gif

That's the later (and I believe longest-running) Monitor version, bit more neutral/less fun than the earlier Sextetts. Can loop some hair ties around the ends like so (you can unscrew the sliding disk to fit the band in there or just loop it around the outside): https://i.imgur.com/pFaSryS.jpg

Pads can get rock hard after awhile also, if you like the sound well enough you can still get stock replacements or Shure SRH840 pads work well (more comfortable, less mid forward, more bass)

You should tell her that today is her day and yours is one month from today ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_and_Blowjob_Day

I have informed her thusly, we shall see if it bears fruit. We had Thai tonight, it was wonderful: https://i.imgur.com/SQuIjnV.jpg

Any woman that gives you meat should be promptly married; I'm glad you're on the ball

Good thing we're not neighbours, bitching is the best case scenario. I never understood why people think it's fine to disturb others but my animal sacrifice is too much.

@m17xr2b I definitely do everything I reasonably can to not disturb the neighbor. I haven't enjoyed a movie in my home for years. The bass is set to -10, front towers are set to "small" so everything under 200hz goes to a sub that is turned off, and I'm constantly adjusting the volume to hear dialogue.

What I really mean is that I can't wait to enjoy bassy music and movies period, because I can't right now without pissing off my neighbors, which I try not to do ever.

Fuck it, had to happen eventually ;)

Well that was a fun read. Eh, I'm fan of hybrids myself but that's because my cans are weird, haha. Would love to vote in the thread but I've not heard everything on there, so I'm echoing Gaspasser on democracy XD

"Enemies most foul!" Beautifully put :D

@Hands @jexby good thing Admins are unbannable or I'd be fucked.

I like it. Simple, concise. Maybe more Randos would read this, especially if it was part of the registration process.

That blower looks to scale. Noice!

All the best to Mr and Mrs Frank. Does it mean a new job for the husband too?

Small world. I’m from Youngstown, Ohio, too. My wife is from Oak Park, just outside Detroit, and we met at UMich.

Depending on the house we buy I might be doing allot of renovation myself, so I'm not too worried about finding a job just yet.
