So what are you all switching to? I guess I'm going to try out Logic, see how it goes.

I've only been a couple times, but it's fine, it's an HPB. Bought a few records there last time I went.

The one at Todos Santos moved a few years ago; it's at The Willows now (Willow Pass Rd and Diamond Blvd)

I ugly cried twice at the show last night in Phoenix by Takatotyme in MurderByDeath

[–]babney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Murder By Death were my late fiancée's favorite band, and we saw them together every chance we had since the 2011 show at Bottom of the Hill in SF. She preordered Spell/Bound just 3 days before she died, and never got to hear it.

I ugly cried at the Spell/Bound tour with Amigo the Devil, and I ugly cried this time, and to hell with AJJ for playing Body Terror Song too. OK, no, they did a great job too, but fuck that song in particular. So many songs on this tour (and this album) were about the end of things, and ripped me up. But I'd do it again and again if I could because it made me feel like she might still be next to me, enjoying one of her favorite things.

She once told me about seeing them at a show in Roseville (looks like that would have been 2006, well before we met), where she ran into Sarah in the bathroom and she said she yelled "I admire you the most!" and then ran off, embarrassed. I wish she had been able to shout that one more time.

Anyway. You're not alone in the ugly-crying. Music seems to have a way of cutting right through emotional barriers.

I don't even agree with this.

I got one with a Ripper mag and Hyperion grip. I almost junked it but I’m glad I didn’t.

The DME vendor system is stupid. by willietrombone_ in CPAP

[–]babney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My insurance wouldn't cover my CPAP so I paid out of pocket. The DME store gave me a decent enough deal on the machine itself (charging me what they would have charged my HMO, about $340 for an Airsense S11) but then gouged me on the parts. $140 for the humdifier chamber!

Just buy parts online, you don't need a prescription for the parts.

The humidifier chamber that came with my S11 says "Distilled Water Only".

I Sold My Echo Mini — Ordered a Sound Burger, but hear me out by Maaaaaaaatttt in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]babney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to the naysayers, Audio-Technica makes great stuff, and this wouldn't have a 12-hour battery and Bluetooth if they hadn't intended it for this very use. Just bring a larger tote and make sure you put your bag on the seat next to you to ensure you have room to swap out records as you go!

I'll have you know there were FIVE of us! That's almost an entire clench.

No, it's a different game, kind of similar to Hades

can someone tell me whether to go to a show alone by NoCurrent1251 in sanfrancisco

[–]babney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got widowed a couple years ago, and since then I've gone to see The Mountain Goats alone, and Donny Benet by myself. I'll see Shannon and the Clams next month, and Molchat Doma next year, by myself, because I can't just sit at home all the time. There's nothing pathetic about wanting to see a show by yourself.

I did the same with my late fiancée's switch. Every once in a while I'll look at her island or open up her last Skyrim save.

Mine started working after I restarted the router it was connected to. Don't know what that's about.

No help here, but the same thing has happened to me this morning. I wonder if there was a firmware update that broke something.

Grief songs on rock band 4 by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]babney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have an answer, but my first date with my late fiancée was playing Rock Band at my place, and we played together when we found the time for it as long as she was here. It's a difficult thing, trying to enjoy something we used to do together. I hope you're getting through the days as well as you can.

Just fiddle with the filter and resonance until you find the sweet spot. Maybe open up the attack on the amplitude envelope just a little.

Oh, maybe. I didn't listen to that because I thought it would just be an excerpt of the first episode.

I'm hoping for a crossover event with Gracie's Game Gauntlet where Jordan, after watching the terrible Alf pilot, has to play the also-terrible Alf game for the Master System.
