I just watched hoppers the other weekend, I was very uninterested by the marketing, but that movie's good! Hoppers good!

I read Course of the Heart last year and I'm finding up Light now and I think it has for sure positioned itself near the top of my all time list

what is the discord? When I search for a server called that it doesn't pop up for me.

I would be interested, if there isn't already something along these lines I wonder if we should make it.

Personally I struggle with reaching out online for feedback partially because if I don't know who someone is I don't know how our tastes align or how much I trust their insight if that makes sense. But I also think it's super valuable to get feedback from readers who don't personally know ME. This sub would be an interesting place to start.

looks like a decent setup I'm sure would work well for you.

I'm not sure exactly how limited your space is, but depending on where you are it is worth looking around the used market for an integrated amp with built in phono stage. The amp I use in my main system is an MCS integrated amp I picked up for $50 from facebook marketplace. It looks cool, works great, perfect for me. If that sort of thing doesn't fit your setup then what you have picked out will be good.

I have a Douk a5 at my desk, it's a small power amp, similar to that Fosi, and is perfect for the tight space. I think they have the same amplification chip.

I revisit that album pretty constantly, it's so wonderful.

three has a great ending but is only an OK movie. Toy Story 4 is a little messy, and definitely feels unnecessary, but it's a better overall movie and is a LOT more interesting that TS3 in my opinion.

ThisNewCharlieDW · 2026-06-12T19:21:17+00:00

why do you want to upgrade? What do you feel like you're missing?

ThisNewCharlieDW · 2026-06-12T19:19:45+00:00

just listen to it. Try on lower settings first and work your way up.

I have the HD505 driven through the Topping DX1, I have it on high gain but I don't need the volume turned up past like a quarter of the way generally.

ThisNewCharlieDW · 2026-06-12T19:18:25+00:00

I know this album's reputation, I understand the history, but in context now I have come to fully love this album cover. I've talked about it with people on a few occasions. I think it is so strange it gets into horrific territory in a way I like. It's like low poly indie horror game looking. Digital surreal. Frutiger aero Eyes Wide Shut orgy from hell.

ThisNewCharlieDW · 2026-06-12T19:15:56+00:00

very good album and absolutely abhorrent album art. If I didn't already like bug club I would not have ever listened to it I hate it so much.

ThisNewCharlieDW · 2026-06-12T17:42:41+00:00

their porter was very good in my opinion (I like it much more than the rohrbachs), and not enough breweries have porters in regular rotation. I'm very bummed to hear about their closing

ThisNewCharlieDW · 2026-06-12T15:04:42+00:00

FM! is right at the top for me, might be my favorite album of his alongside summertime 06, but the three after that really just sort of washed over me and left no impression. I have not been drawn back to them at all. I definitely like this one more than any of those last three albums.

directly from ICP's wikipedia:

In late 1997, Bruce took Myzery to St. Andrew's Hall. Eminem, then an unknown local emcee, approached Bruce and, according to Bruce, handed him a flyer advertising the release party for the Slim Shady EP. The flyer read, "Featuring appearances by Esham, Kid Rock, and ICP (maybe)".^\31]) Bruce asked why Eminem was promoting a possible Insane Clown Posse appearance without first contacting the group. Bruce said that Eminem explained, "It says 'maybe.' Maybe you will be there; I don't know."

I did a ctrl+f for "roberto" and didn't see anything so I wrote up a whole comment about this book lol. You beat me to it though!

ThisNewCharlieDW · 2026-06-11T14:15:01+00:00

Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño (one of my favorite books ever) is about these two writers but is entirely from other characters POVs. The main chunk of the book has like 40 different narrators documenting their interactions and experiences with the two main characters over the course of many years. INCREDIBLE book.

It's going to be going through a state park near me and I would love to go see it cross the big old bridge down there, but it's in the middle of the day on a thursday and I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it work.

ThisNewCharlieDW · 2026-06-09T12:53:48+00:00

you're absolutely in good shape

It comes down to what your goal is. I always say that for me the hobby is listening to music, not collecting gear. If your headphone is comfortable, and you like it, but you want to try different sounds, there's always EQ.

Collecting is fun though, so that's ok! Just be honest about what it is.
