*Shameless bump*

Hey all, I'm going to be staying in New York for 2 or 3 weeks in December, and am excited to check out the music scene when I'm there. Where can I find a comprehensive listing of all the NY concerts? Ticketmaster and LiveNation are pretty much just the big shows, which don't really interest...

- Bone (The Complete Comics) by Jeff Smith - Cradle to Cradle - 101 Things I Learned In Architecture School - Alton Brown's I'm Just Here For The Food - Tom Kundig: Houses

I've been using one that I got at an electronics component store (Lee's Electronics on Main St. in Vancouver) that cost me $2 or $3. It's possible that one from Grado might be made with better quality materials, but probably not enough to warrant the order of magnitude in price difference when...

This has to be one of my favourite threads.

Ah, I see. I'm kind of afraid to modify them, but maybe someday. My first reaction when I saw how much they are going for lately, was "Wow.. I probably shouldn't wear these to school anymore."

As far as bang for the buck, they're excellent. Very good sound quality for a $30 headphone. I got mine for about $15-20 a year or two ago and they are running strong. They don't look very cool, in my opinion, but I still walk the dog in them most days. Mainly I use them around the house...

Hi all, I've been a Head-Fier for years now, but I've hardly ventured away from the Music/Off-Topic forums for the last couple years. After lots of research, I bought some HD-580s, HF-1s, E2Cs and KSC-75s and decided to never look back, for the sake of my wallet. So it goes without saying...

And I just wanted to add... Ara Batur is fantastic. One of their best songs yet, IMHO.

I'm a Sigur Ros nut too, and I love this album. My favourite album so far is Takk... and I think it still might be, but I've only listened to this one about 5 or so times, so it could grow. I definitely see what dgbiker says about the album feeling less cohesive than previous efforts. But I'm...

It had this sort of style, except the full face was exposed rather than covered, and it was round rather than square. These are awesome but they are $400 unfortunately. A little too pricey for this stage of my life. Nixon

Hey fellow Head-Fiers, I'm looking for a specific watch and so naturally, I came to the all-knowledgeable Head-Fi for answers. I saw this one at the Vancouver Art Gallery a couple years ago, never bought it, and have regretted it since. Here is my description of what it looked like: The...

Good thing you only bid 1GBP.

I am absolutely AMAZED that no one here has mentioned Dinosaur Comics. I also want to mention Copper, and second xkcd, perry bible fellowship, and cyanide & happiness.

I can't wait til Thursday. Not only for the Office, but also for my other favourite show on TV right now: 30 Rock (Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin) Thursday's episode is going to be especially great, because it guest stars Will Arnett (GOB from Arrested Development, also Blades of Glory.) The preview...

Seconded, songmeanings.net is the best, without a doubt. I have a lot of fun reading other people's insights about what they think the song means, and how they decipher the lyrics. Also often people will post backstories about the musician that opens your eyes to the perspective of the person...

Ahahahaha oh my god, that had me in stitches. So damn funny. You totally know what's gonna happen next, but when it happens it's still unexpectedly hilarious.

I definitely second those that Camille suggested, especially Zulu Records. I've been to Zulu many times but haven't been to Scratch or Red Cat, from what I hear they are similar, maybe smaller stores? In Zulu when you go in, there is a CD side of the store (left side/main entrance) and a...

I'm in the market for a computer desk, and these Jerker desks from Ikea look quite nice: minimalist, clean design, open design on the bottom, solid feel, enough space for everything. The only thing I don't like is that it is actually *too* big for me, especially in depth. I want something...

After a couple days of not getting a call back, the guy called me today at my other job, and asked me if I could come in tomorrow at 3:30pm until 11:30pm. On Halloween night. It's funny, my first reaction was: "well, bussing home should be an interesting adventure" but after thinking about it...
