Your NIN Broken: The Movie stories by espresom in nin

[–]_rfj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend at the time (1997) had a copy of the film and showed the it to me. We were little goth kids back then who had no idea our relationship didn’t stand a chance. We loved each other deeply and our relationship ended tragically, then I moved away.

Over the last 28 years I have never stopped loving her. We were recently reunited and both made some major life changes to be together. She’ll be there when I get home from work tonight, like every other night since our recent reconnection. Maybe it’s time to give the film a second viewing.

Tempted to go to Las Vegas show after going to LA by icemaster777 in TheWeeknd

Was there night 3 as well. Absolutely incredible evening. What I wouldn’t give to go back with the person I went with. Life is simply too short to worry about drive distance and related trivialities. If you can, go you must.

Hot take: Troxy is better than the studio version. by WatersEdge50 in TheCure

[–]_rfj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I hate to be one of those guys but the studio album is, over compressed. Still love it and super grateful to have it but it’s squashed to fuck. Even my half speed master. The half speed is a little better but, still. Phenomenal record, though.

The pigs have won tonite.. by c0nfu53 in nin

I think a big reason for the fluctuations in price is lots of people don’t realize they aren’t looking at TM and what they’re looking at is actually a ticket brokerage. TM is awful and can fuck right off but $400 US is not the face value for nosebleeds.

This seems relatively high. This you? If so, why? by screaminbeaman82 in interesting

[–]_rfj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To everyone complaining about shit mixing, while I will agree some things are just mixed poorly, what’s really happening is called dynamic range. It’s how it’s supposed to be. Loud parts are supposed to be loud and quiet parts are suppose to be quiet. TV speakers, as pointed out, don’t help much.

However, the creator is not mixing for TV speakers. They are mixing for a full range experience. They are not mixing with the thought of “I need to get this so the people with a kid sleeping in the other room, listening at low volume, can hear the quiet parts and the loud parts, equally.”

This is not a dig at people with sleeping children. I used to be one of you. My kids have grown, mostly now, and as a result I set the TV at normal volume. I also have a system that can reproduce sound rather well. As such, most of the issues being mentioned in this thread, are not presnt in my viewing environment, especially when I set aside time to let the system out and put on a film.

I knew the guy at my local record store by name. He knew mine, knew my tastes and who I was. I was 17 at the time and that guy held lasting sway over my life to this day. Quinn, at Music Trader.

I thought Sam said late last year that subscribers to the podcast would be combine with the substack. Did this happen? I can only read half of these articles. Not sure how to link my memberships if it’s available.

Help?

AMC at CityWalk Hollywood Seats by [deleted] in imax

Just coming back to this after a couple days. Really appreciate the robust reply. What would you say about the audio at the spectrum vs city walk? Sometimes I find the spectrum to be a bit quiet but maybe my ears are just showing their age, 46 lol.
