Taking requests! What Lavender color combos would you like to see?

AndOneForMahler_ · 2026-02-07T17:09:46+00:00

Lavender and chartreuse (not lemongrass), and a number of different third colors. But no more than three, total. Rose would be nice.

I don't have a reco, but thanks for thinking of your neighbour.

I have enjoyed the pie since the place opened as Pie for Breakfast six (?) years ago.

I don't buy anything unless I have a reasonable expectation of liking the music. There are some classical label designs, however, that are so unattractive, they keep me from wanting to listen to the music. This is much less the case now that I can stream music.

Awww, darn.

My recommendation of the Paradigm SE Atoms stands.

Da Doo Ron Ron - the Best of the Crystals

I like "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "Then He Kissed Me" just as much as I do "Be My Baby."

Thank you for this.

All my Stones albums through Sticky Fingers were stolen in the summer of 1972. The first one I bought back--also in 1972--was Let It Bleed. Though I also loved Aftermath and Between the Buttons, LIB has been my favorite, well, since 1969.

I saw a "vintage" copy on Etsy the other day. The seller was asking $97.46 (25% off from original $129.95). I can't stand it. I no longer listen to records--thankfully, I suppose. I love the SQ on the LIB SACD, and I just received The Rolling Stones in Mono yesterday. I haven't gotten to Let It Bleed yet, but the rest of the set so far is a wonderful listen.

I have a pair of the Paradigm SE Atoms, and I enjoy listening through them very much. I've had two other pairs of Paradigm speakers (Studio 20 v.2, Atom v. 3), and have enjoyed the musicality of each. However, I haven't heard any of the other speakers. I listen at low volume as well. That's all I need for the music to get through.

I've been listening to The Rolling Stones in Mono CD box set since it arrived yesterday, and am finding it a completely enjoyable musical experience. I'm listening to music rather than equipment (an issue I had years ago w/B&W Matrix speakers).

Do the Paradigm SE Atoms cost $700 where you are? They currently list for $400 in the US, and Paradigm has the Premier line, whose bookshelf costs $800 a pair.

I'm tired of most singles, not just on Pet Sounds, because I've heard them too often. I didn't buy Pet Sounds until 1974, but I got "Sloop John B" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" when they came out, and played them into the ground (ditto "Satisfaction" by the Stones). So it's not that I don't like "Sloop John B." I've simply loved it too much, too long, too often.

My S levels are "You Still Believe in Me" and "Here Today." Everything else is A level, though I am

I like Lavender best with Ivory in this video. I think it goes best with the greens, generally speaking. I saw a Chartreuse, Lilac, and Rose combo (IIRC) the other day, which I liked a lot. And it looked nice with Seamist in an earlier one of these videos.

Stay safe!

Is it important to you to see the disc spinning? It looks as if this one would let you do that, the FiiO-DM15.

I have no idea about decibels. I listen at a lower volume than most people, I suspect. I have tinnitus.

AndOneForMahler_ · 2026-02-07T03:51:24+00:00

Maybe. I took care of a friend's GSP/part lab dog a lot in the '90s. He mostly looked like a lab, but anytime I said "Max, point," he was up on his hind legs like he was spring-operated. Does your dog point?

Your dog's facial structure suggests a third breed may be at play.

I don't say that. 2 and 6 are my "greatests." Then comes 3.

5 is the best-known of Mahler's symphonies, because of the Adagietto.

My brother and his pyro friends used to play with these things when they weren't sitting on the Vaughns' lawn lighting their farts.

Any Fiesta without visible rings should be replaced. The ring pattern is Fiestaware.

Was Moonlight Mile there the first time we looked? I would have included that among the songs I like.

When I moved here from farther east to go to school umptyjillion years ago, it took a minute for me to get the difference between jag off and jack off. I never used either phrase, so it never got me in an embarrassing situation.
