Now that's not a bad idea. I won't be able to donate a space anymore, at least not for a while here--but if there's someone willing to host something by the MOA, that would be fantastic. I need my hi-fi fix!

Hey all you Minneapolis/St. Paul people, what do you say to a meet sometime in the coming weeks here? Last one was fun, and it would be cool if we can get more people to come. I might be able to offer a space starting on the first of next month, somewhere in NE (warehouse or...

Who cares who breaks it? It's Hank's record--what does he say? If he doesn't care--I don't care. :P

As has been said a bit above here, active noise cancelling headphones are generally not so great, so an IEM will be your best bet. They block out more noise in general, and the sound is also generally better. I'm using X3s, and I frigging love them, but for your price range, I'd say look for...

Funny, dude. Before I even read your post, I was thinking 770s. That's what I use, and I don't think you'll feel let down (and you'll love music through them ).

Nobody. Besides, in a matter of decades there won't be a North Pole anyhow. Well, hopefully there will be, but I think you know what I mean. You know that there are shipping routes (for trucks) across it, though? Pretty intreresting to me. That'd be one hell of a drive.

+1 for #1. I dunno, I think my equipment will go down as my post count goes up. I'm still in the experiment stage, so I'm getting bunches of stuff at a time. We'll see.

When I was in San Francisco back in April, my brother told me I should check out Amoeba Records. I'm glad I did, because I got to see Blonde Redhead performing a free show in-store, but also because I picked up a bunch of awesome albums. Of all the albums I picked up, I've probably listened to...

I'm surprised so many people don't like Pablo Honey that much--some of the songs on there, like Ripcord or Everyone Can Play Guitar (if that's the right title, I can't remember), are among my favorite Radiohead songs.

@uzziah Ah, the "man is an island" type finally arrives. Another famous quote is "I'm an equal opportunity bigot--I hate everyone equally." Huzzah for uzziah!

Nice! Thanks for the tip! I guess I should be a little more thankful I have a white one instead of a black one--doesn't show as much--but I wanted a black one originally. >< Damn Froogle.

You punk! I was psyched for a second there. Well, it'll be interesting to see once it does come out, anyway. I wonder if it'll be closer in sound to their first album (as in less depressing and a bit more upbeat). My friend and I always had fun playing their other albums at double speed to see...

Nick--they're completely different worlds, marijuana and steroid use in professional sports. Marijuana is far from being a performance-enhancing substance (and it looks like the sig isn't even talking about it anyhow). I don't see how you see them as being similar debates, but PM me if you feel...

Full-time student and records manager at an online university--been there all through college, but only started my current position last September. Hopefully, around this time next year, I'll be getting ready to move to Japan and start teaching English.

Apparently I'm living in the future. Whoops! Better than being stuck in the past, right?

Did you also try playing the lottery that day? What a crazy lucky find dude. Congrats!

That sucks man! Think you could convince them to throw 35 drivers in somehow? Or do you think that since you got portapro drivers, they're out of 35 drivers? Either way, that really sucks. Sorry to hear that man!

If we're talking up to $50, I'd definitely say PX100 over KSC-75. If we go up to $57, though... it's gotta be the X3s. ^__^
