      Just ordered the beginnings of my next PC build. Going with AMD for first time in prob. 15 years. Ryzen 7 1700x

        The new AMD APUs are actually extremely promising if the reviews and benchmark scores are accurate. Sub $250 for a processor capable of running most modern titles at 1080p with 30-60fps, which makes for a good stop-gap until the mining hype dies down.

        @Melvillian Luckily it hasn't been TOO terribly long since I last upgraded my video card so I will just keep my OC'ed GeForce 970 that is in my current setup until GPU's are reasonable again.

        I was thinking about rebuilding my PC this year. Afraid to say, it's not going to happen until Meltdown and Specter get fixed in the hardware layer. Maybe video cards will be reasonable by then.

      pitchfork rates Beast Epic below most other Iron & Wine albums but I haven't enjoyed any as much as this one. Anyone else feel the same?

        I was at a Better Than Ezra concert in New Orleans and they pulled up some dude to play on a song and was killing it. Then after the song ended, he went into the opening riff of Sweet Child o' Mine. They had to stop so the bass player could get a quick rundown of the song, but they played it!

        Amazon gets them on and off for the standard retail price. Yeah, I don’t understand why there are some asking $600 or up sometimes on EBay and Amazon. Doesn’t make sense to me

        That's alright. We'll chalk it up to a personality flaw on your part and move on :P

        If you've never seen his Tiny Desk performance, check it out. That's what turned me onto him. And, living in Nashville, his anti-Nashville industry stance is much appreciated.

      Just finished Wormwood on Netflix. Intense. Errol Morris has really perfected the documentary/drama hybrid of his earlier docs.

        I haven’t really had any thoughts about if it’s “better” or not. One’s a miniseries and one’s a movie. His technique though of combining doc w/ dramatic re-enactment has gotten way better.

        It’s hard to compare because the Thin Blue Line was so groundbreaking in its time. Much like Hoop Dreams. Both laid the groundwork for so many docs to come.

        Caveat, I do have smaller ears (2"x1.5"), so not sure how people with bigger flappers might find the opening on these. Headband issues are news to me, but at least in my recent experience MD is great about helping people out. Also, yeah, forgot to mention the isolation is definitely top-notch, you don't have to crank the volume up to immerse yourself.
