Quote: do you know which of the optical inputs come next by chance? I'm thinking about using this with a cd player (coaxial and computer s/pdif) then into my dac, but i don't want to go keep un-plugging thigs.

What's the order priority? usb - spdif - coaxial?    Quote:

Best Novel of 1993 is my goto fake band name.

  yay for live music.    Zola Jesus and Evangelista were my favorite shows with Whartscape being my favorite event. i saw normally one or two opening bands at each of these shows if someone wants to figure out how many bands i saw.    ~52 shows counting each day of the festivals as one...

i have a broken wrist, so just a list.     1. nina nastasia - outsider 2. deerhunter - halcyon digest   3. mi ami - steal this face 4. antony and the johnsons  - swanlights 5. grinderman - grinderman 2 6. best coast - crazy for you 7. lcd soundsystem - this is happening 8...

rock critics like it because of the layers and wall of sound production and everything people hate about kayne, he hates about himself. it's not hard to figure out. 

I'm in. cusa only, thanks.   I'll also be sending goodies along with the album!

I'll second the new black mountain album and recommend the new free energy album if you really like thin lizzy.

When I worked at a record stored we'd get returns of CDs that had a different album pressed to disc than the disc art/cd case displayed. those were pretty entertaining, though we'd never had a riffi album switched with nwa or anything. 

I'll be there. If there is table space left I'll bring my zana deux and red wine hpa and cans

  1. nina nastasia - the outlaster 2. mi ami - steal your face 3. beach house - teen dream 4. titus andronicus - the monitor 5. flying lotus - cosmogramma 6. tallest man on earth - the wild hunt 7. xiu xiu - dear god i hate myself 8. dum dum girls - i will be 9. bonnie "prince"...

to be fair, she sells records regardless of theme. 

I think that one sonic youth album got a 0.0 and that Jet album got...uh a video of a monkey urinating into its own mouth. .. but i mean it's not good and when you take that it's not very good plus all the angst/drama over dis plan breaking up (and how bored the band looked playing some of these...

i thought it was pretty good, i dunno. i like how she's transforming her songs in the various video/remix/live cuts. though it's kinda biting (i guess) her proteges sleigh bells a bit much though. putting on those two albums though, i mean damn she's not going in the right direction. 

pig destroyer - terrifyer (grindcore) both the album and the bonus 5.1 audio disc are recorded really well. 

dis plan and faraquet definitely have their math moments and are great bands. i'd throw Q and not U (first album at least) as math-flirt bands.    what's funny about that ska horn joke with sweep is that the second dis plan has a bunch of that same style horn on it. i'm glad they made...

beefheart---> john zorn's naked city ---> don cabellero's what burns never returns   is how i normally map math rock. i'd consider don cab to be the "sigur ros" of math rock. vocals with math rock can be really hit or miss i think.    there is the whole midwest shellac/rapeman vein that...

Quote: i'm wondering the same thing.   

i'd be down for a min-meet as well.

it's a little more exact and nice - instead of some old country singer singing on the radio, you get Roy Orbison singing "For the Lonely" and you get the time and place exactly.    I like bob dylan's sara:   Quote:   the classic big star song thirteen     Quote:   my...

is it possible to have the HPA switched from variable output to fixed?

For Mac users with the urge to catalog, delicious library/is tops. though i have the same problem with cataloging my music as i do about ripping it.

I have ~2,500 CDs, ~500 records ~400 7inch and 500GB of mp3s (not duplicated). I can't figure out how to best merge the two together, because I really don't like digital music files at all, and find iTunes, foobar et al very hard to model my typical CD listening behavior with. i also wish i...
