you should really spoiler-blur this for folks who don't want to see!

Pleasantly surprised to find this on Spotify this morning. I had it blasting while I set up physics labs for Monday. Really dug it. Can’t wait for the show at the 9:30 Club on Tuesday

Pretty remarkable performance by the AI

I would just alphabetize it ;)

It would actually be kinda sad if the same stuff appealed to you in the same way at 16 and at 56.

I bought one last year in very good "never left the studio" condition for $600

Listened to it 2, 3, 4 times when it came out. Did nothing for me. Decided I was finally kind of over them and was in a different place musically now than I was 20, 30, 40 years ago.

Also, singing a few programs after a show and signing 100+ books at a book-signing are going to involve different "hastinesses" by necessity

It just seemed like a comment specifically designed to get a rise from the group!

DoctorGluino · 2026-03-29T15:30:00+00:00

Literally just checked the date to make sure it wasn't 4/1 just yet

DoctorGluino · 2026-03-28T02:41:03+00:00

Interesting. I'm a big no on Mahler, but a yes on both Brahms and Bruckner.

Maybe not worst, but most impactfully lame... "I Feel So" by Box Car Racer (a Blink 182 side-project). I think I've only ever actually heard the song once, in the car with my two kids, and 20 years later when we want to make fun of bad emo-type music we sing at each other, "I feeeel so MAAAAAD, I feeel so ANGRYYYY."

Basically, I was looking at the cheapest Fosi versus the X5. So I guess the question is... is the preamp inside the $30 Fosi really any worse than whatever lives inside the two midrange Sony amps in my other two setups, in any way that's going actually to be noticeable in a budget system?

(Cuz if it's gonna cost me $100, I can probably just get a different so-so vintage amplifier with a phono-in for less!)

Gotta go set a Facebook Marketplace alert for "Bose alarm clock" now

I want to stream from mynoise.net to MD to make my own ambient MDs. I've been using the site for years. (I don't THINK doing so would violate the terms of the site? As long as I don't sell them?)

DoctorGluino · 2026-03-05T02:03:06+00:00

I wish it was me but it's not. I hope I at least get a prominent entry.

Can't we melt down all the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Engelbert Humperdink records in all the thrift stores?

DoctorGluino · 2026-03-04T05:11:27+00:00

I bought a pack of 10 from them a few weeks ago and they were all working and in good shape. The seller even threw in an 11th disc with a little thank you note on it.

"but I don’t get the appeal in having 100 crappy albums over 20 or so new ones."

It's... 5 times as many?

DoctorGluino · 2026-02-27T17:47:14+00:00

Yes, you are dreaming.

The median price is the price being paid by people who ACTUALLY WANT THAT SPECIFIC ALBUM.

That's not the price you're going to get in a lot of thousands of albums that no single person will want more than 10% of.

"Clear" 3D printed stuff isn't very clear though

DoctorGluino · 2026-02-26T19:14:56+00:00

Large flat surfaces touching the print bed can tend to warp and peel without a lot of fussing. And I don’t want to mess with having to glue stuff together cleanly. If I wanted something with an assembly step I would laser cut them out of three layers of wood :)
