Also, I am not a raving Maoist / anti-Taiwan agitator. I just happen to like the icredible bold and didactic design of propaganda posters. I actually cannot read the inscription since I (shamefully I suppose) cannot read Chinese - I only know it is a message about a united front against Taiwan, so if anyone can give me a direct translation that would be cool :3
 

​

haha... though technically I'm not Taiwanese, no offense taken! My Traditional Chinese is not great, let alone Simplified, so I don't know exactly what it says, but it's something along the lines of joining forces and liberating Taiwan from the Nationalist dogs!

And I was under the impressions that was Mao Zedong in the background .

Speaking of libration from the mainland, my cIEMs apparently arrived in Incheon four or five hours ago. Too bad I don't live in Seoul.

Hey MuppetFace, did you hear Zomby stole Natalia's Song from another producer?
 
Was it even you who listens to Zomby as well?

 
Yeah that was me. I don't keep up with industry news anymore though, so I hadn't heard.

I like your desktop wallpaper. Shinji looks appropriately reticent about the whole thing.

When did Lenin ever wear goggles like that?
 
 

 
The goggles. They do nothing.

He was actually banned.
 
No one knows for how long or if he's even coming back (not even he does). Well, except for the mods. They don't like bans being discussed though, so we don't talk about it anymore.
 
Creating a new account is also against the rules, so we shouldn't talk about that either.

Very cute, I've always been a big fan of funky looking gear. The funkiest I ever saw was the dude who hand crafted his own steam punk iPod case.

My partner tells me that yesterday's xkcd reminded her of head-fi.

@ DF: Wow. Reminds me of ColorFly. Only a much nicer build. It would go nicely with the Senneheiser Charleston:
 

 

 
 
@RGD: I can see her point.

Yow. That encapsulates everything that fascinates and irritates me about steampunk: At its best, a visually interesting interpretation of an anachronistic, ahistorical thing. At its worst, design played a little too much for laughs, a little too little understanding of why Victorian era stuff looked the way it did, and craftsmanship that doesn't go far enough.

Ah, the jeans of headphones. 

 

[ardgedee]

Some steampunk stuff is great: Goes beyond brass-and-wood versions of things you already have, and makes things don't belong to either time.
 
Like the North Skirt:

Agreed the Charleston is a beautiful looking headphone. Another nice vintage headphone that would work would be the Pioneer SE L40. Very gorgeous looking headphone in my opinion

I've always had a love hate relationship with steampunk stuff. The clothing and art deco stuff most of the time never really turned my crank. for whatever reason though take modern gear and steampunk it and most of the time it turns my crank. Rather weird when you stop and think about it.
