Even when Game of Thrones went south, she was always outstanding.

I just checked the dynamic range database. It’s been compressed. Quite a bit. The person posting the measurements commented that the album sounded tinny.

The one to get is the 2010 hi-res remaster (not remix). It’s out of print now but it is lovely and dynamic and the best I’ve ever heard the album sound.

I owned the original vinyl when it was first released. The 2014 remaster just doesn’t sound right. Like a lot of remasters. I wish they would just stop trying to screw around with things that don’t need to be fixed. They got the damn thing right the first time. I’d love to hear the 2012 remaster. Hopefully I can get it someday. It’s a wonderful album that really shows George Harrison‘s talent.

You are late to the club. Try "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life." If you have something to celebrate, stay honest and count your blessings.

It’s because they keep telling us to sing Happy Birthday twice when we wash our hands. That’s a lot of Happy Birthday! I love Always Look! Reminds me of Monty Python. :)

Always better to buy a phone upfront if you can and do pre-paid.

He tried to use a more standard mix and they lose something, it changes the feel to the songs. Not a complaint about the sound quality. Just the mix.

LOL listen to how he butchered Helter Skelter. I still prefer the Sgt. Pepper remix over the mono.

Birthday too. Agree with you on Pepper.

And of course “All You Need Is Cash”

Thanks for the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band!

Yes. That’s where it all began. And let’s not forget his collaborations with the Pythons.

I was an embarrassingly big Grado fan about 5 years ago. Today they're tough to listen to. shame cube dot fig

I owned a pair of SR-60’s and SR-80’s a long time ago. I plugged in the SR-60’s a few months ago. OMG! Like spikes to the ears!

I worked weekend jobs and sold an old trumpet to purchase my first nice pair of headphones: Grado Head-F1 Series HF2. How I wish I would have just started where I ended (before Utopia): Sennheiser HD6xx.

I call the restaurant to let them know DoorDash isn’t working. The person tells me that they have no way of contacting DD, but she has a phone number I could call and talk to someone! I’m I missing something here?

Just ask if the restaurant uses other courier services like Uber Eats.

@Gaspasser they don’t. I guess I couldn’t understand that they had the number to DD, but I had to call, because they didn’t have a way to contact them. Was actually funny to me, that they did have a way to contact them. Then she put me on hold to see if they could figure it out.

"Uplifting". Everyone could always use a bit more of that in this day and age. Adding it to the list! Thank you for the recommendation :)

We also want to thank all the PG&E crews working to get things restored and CalFire crews putting fires out.

Just got back. Go see it. I’m going again later this week. It is fun at times, but as always meant to get one thinking. Like an opera sort of, happy, sad, and in between. Stay past The End credits.

Edit: If you didn’t see the concert and wanted to go, go see it. It’s only showing again on 10/6.

Full disclosure I saw the concert.

Instead of having shit fly towards you at > 252 km/h, it is down to between 209 and 252 km/h. And stalled there for the moment. Unprecedented damage levels. They will need help from everywhere.

13,000 homes destroyed. Abaco looks like a nuclear bomb was dropped.

"Instead of having shit fly towards you at > 252 km/h, it is down to between 209 and 252 km/h."

Unimaginable. And the fact that it is not moving is heaping bad on bad.

I admit I have no idea what Easy Rider is, but I do know him from his contribution to Beatles discography. One of my fave bits of trivia about the band's songs because it's just so silly: https://pagesix.com/2019/08/16/peter-fonda-helped-the-beatles-write-a-hit-song-during-1965-acid-trip/

My best friends older brother took us to the drive-in in ‘69 to see it. We were blown away to say the least. @Lyer25 that’s one of my favorite Beatles stories. And a great song!

@purr1n I was in high school in 1970. I grew up watching all those movies. Saw The Godfather when I was 16. Might explain some things about me. :)

It will be interesting to see what he did. He was a perfectionist. Even had a patent on a ram-jet engine for a space plane. I know he replaced the caps and a bad transistor. It will be nice to have it as a reminder of a great 63 year friendship.

I’m losing it. It’s a 2220B! I just spotted my mistake. If anyone is interested it looks like this. I always thought it was a cool design.

2220B is in the house. Not sure what caps my friend used, pretty sure he replaced the resistors too. It sounds so fluid and has very clean bass even with the PSB Alpha B1. Raise you glasses tonight and make a toast to a great friend, Russ. RIP bro.

Freakishly hot. What's the joint? I'm not up there that often but like to make it count when I am.

I like shrimp. I don't like crab. It's a long way to San Fransisco anyway.

It’s called The Ramp. Big sandwich. Took half of it with me for a midnight snack.
