ZOMBIE THREAD!!!!   But for reals, they apparently just dropped a new album. Giving it my first listen through at the moment.

POD - Southtown The transition when they finally hit it makes the song. This is first one that popped into my head when I saw the title, but my memory has been jogged by so many good calls.

This one should depend on the manner in which one dies as well Saturday Night Special by skynyrd and Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot would be appopriate if I get shot because I was caught in an affair. Flying High Again by Ozzy if I die in most any manner involving drugs and high velocities...

Shoot I just use a small fan on low... none of this newfangled techno nonsense

There's a decent size place in College Park just north of UMD on Rt 1 just after 193 or so. It's big and seemed to have a decent selection when I went in there. I think there's a handful of Record and Tape Traders around, but don't know if they're any good or where.

Nope, nobody on head-fi likes NIN. Not one. Everybody above and below is lying to you because they also dislike people who like NIN. I've heard about a guy who listened to Downward Spiral then went out and killed his whole family. Something about Hurt. Move along now and listen to some...

The ability to beat the rap for hooking up with underage girls? I guess that's more music related not musical... Ability to evoke emotion with a guitar (besides annoyance...). I mean one can be technically very good, but not able to really speak with your instrument. With that said, I need to...

They probably played whatever they had on their ipods. My understanding (which is limited) of the thing was that it was very loud and round the clock with that being the mode of torture. I mean the only theme's I can really see are America/USA and a few with lyrics that are a little lewd or...

Low grade hiss with the flac but not the mp3 sounds like something is wrong. Have you tried several albums? Maybe you have one that did have crappy quality or something. How does the straight CD sound? This is probably a dumb question, but you didn't just convert the mp3's into flac, right...

I thought the whole point of all this fancy audio hoodoo was make cd's sound like johnny rotten was sitting in your living room yelling at you!

Nobody has suggested Slipknot?! With "Wait and Bleed" being my fav song off their self-titled album. System of a Down should be on your list with maybe the albums Toxicity and Steal This Album being the first ones to take a look at. "Chop Suey" if you need a particular song. Mabye the band...

The sennhieser (sp?) hd280 pros have really good isolation. Used them on airplanes and subways without much trouble, and I keep my music volume pretty low. That said they and probably most circumaural cans tend to be goofy big, and iems are easier to deal with (well except for occasionally...

Cowon D2 maybe. Should be getting a little long in the tooth, and it has pretty good sq and very little/no hiss. It also behaves like an external usb drive, so it should just plug right in.

I said very similar, but mostly because I act like a nutcase that's all over the place and tends to be slightly on edge kinda like my taste in music...

a quick hit to a couple of youtubes of The Gathering tunes would suggeset in that vien assuming you tend towards their harder stuff 'cause it's all I got... Lacuna Coil Flyleaf (maybe) Evanescence A quick look at my Pandora.com station based on Lacuna Coil suggests Xandria Sirenia

Foobar2000 + Lame3.97 would probably be a good way to go. I believe it will read wma's out the box. Links: HydrogenAudio Wiki on LAME with links to downloads Ditto for Foobar2k

This sounds like a pretty sweet thing going on. I wonder though how frequently they add new music because it might not be worth staying month to month after you dl everything they have that is interesting unless they add enough new stuff that it would be cost effective to go unlimited vs pay 5...
