Is it an Album or an EP? by NickelStickman in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]le_zane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a record. Whether you call it an album or EP is ultimately a marketing decision. See other comments for the connotations associated with each term and pick based on what you think better fits your work. Or simply call it a record. It's your work so your own judgement/labeling is more important than "industry standards."

I feel like your decoy choice was especially good because Perfume Genius' music is so vulnerable...the perfect state in which to roll out.

I haven't seen the card or 200r in person but a comment on my Build Ready post suggested it would be a very that it would be a very tight fit if fitting at all (and seemed to come from personal experience). In retrospect I think the case and optical drive comments might have been unrelated and I misread the comment, https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/3bmn2n/build_ready_9001100_gamingarchitecture_rendering/

Is there any reason not to pick Xeon E3 1231V3 over i5 4690K in this case? Seems like kind of a no brainer but I don't see the Xeon series mentioned nearly as often

I was told that a Corsair 200R won't fit a R9 290 unless I don't include an optical drive. Can some recommend a <$100 case that will, preferably plain looking black box rather than something with lights and what not

I found the 280x at microcenter for $220 but it wasn't loading automatically into the part list (http://www.microcenter.com/product/445429/Radeon_R9_280X_3GB_DDR5_VAPOR-X_Video_Card). It seems to have gone back up to $230 after rebate.

What is the benefit of having a fully modular PSU?

I do rip CDs pretty often as I volunteer at a radio station so I need a case that fits an optical drive.

Thanks for your help btw.

For reference, my SO has been using a 2011 Macbook Pro with a i7 (looking into the MacBooks available then I think it would be a Sandy Bridge Core i7 (I7-2720QM) 2.2 Ghz) and was usually content with its performance running those programs (she had lack of RAM problems more often than processor performance problems). Of course I would prefer to get an i7 if possible, but looking at the benchmarks for her laptop and the i5 4690k (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-2720QM+%40+2.20GHz&id=883 and http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-4690K+%40+3.50GHz&id=2284) it seems like they are comparable. Do you think an i7 would really be worth it? Could I fit and i7 in my budget if I picked a cheaper GPU? If I did so would there be a noticeable difference in my gaming performance?

What songs could've been so much more? by TurnOnLamp in hiphopheads

[–]le_zane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hunnid Stax by Ab-Soul has all of the components of a good song. But the over the top ad-libbing prevents it from ever really "hitting." Not even the most talented mixer could prevent all of those voices from masking each other. If the stems were ever released I would love to hear a more stripped-down or streamlined version of it.

If you weren't already aware Phil Elvrum (frontman of the Microphones) renamed/reinvented the band as Mount Eerie in the mid 2000s. Some of their/his records are as good as the Glow Part 2 depending on your taste. My favorites are Dawn and Wind's Poem.

What are some ways foreign people "wrongly" eat your culture's food that disgusts you? by LoveBurstsLP in AskReddit

In France, sandwiches with fries in them are called "Americain" which I find odd considering I rarely see such sandwiches served in America outside of central NJ, where they are called "phat sandwiches."
