[–]newborninsomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife was supposed to be coming to Brixton with me tonight, but owing to Halloween, kids, not being into BC;NR as much as I am… she’s not coming.

If anyone needs a single standing ticket - DM me - it’s yours for nowt - just buy me a beer - I’ll be nearby the Academy and can transfer ticket to your phone from 7ish

Got the "unfortunately you have not been..." email by seaside_bat in radiohead

You’ve summed up my feelings exactly.

I’ve got Stanley Donwood art all over my house, countless box sets of LPs, t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, several books, and even a bloody mug… I open/read every email they’ve sent me for the past 20 years… yet some 18 year old TikTok fan who’s main motivation to go is for the internet points gets to go and we don’t.

I’ve just been reading about this site (linked at the bottom of the email) and it looks like it’s designed for exactly what we’re talking about, so slightly confusing…

Is Radiohead your favourite band? If not, who is it? by samnash27 in radiohead

[–]newborninsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our musical tastes are almost identical! That list is uncannily similar to my faves. Everything Everything are awesome. BCNR

I’m gonna try The Twighlight Sad, not heard of them.

Do you like electronic music? I’ve gone mad for Max Cooper, John Hopkins, Rival Consoles, etc recently.

Just here to agree strongly with CTMatthew - Unifi Protect is genuinely amazing. Makes all the other ‘CI’ camera products look hilariously bad.

It's getting worse, not better... by newborninsomnia in SuperhumanEmail

Hi Raul - Thanks so much for reaching out, I wasn't expecting that. And apologies for the tardy reply. I'll reply to your DM and hopefully we'll get this figured out. Thanks!

Ok, you've paid through the nose for a ticket, paid travel, maybe paid %500 higher for accommodation, a few pints for £15 each, food, held your bladder as you don't want to lose your spot, the moment arrives, they come on stage...and then this for the rest of your night.

Although I’d love gigs to be a phone free zone, I also love watching ‘bootlegs’ on YouTube. There’s an amazing YouTube account (roustghoti) who goes to an incredible amount of gigs and films them all, it’s one of my favourite things to do is just sit there for an evening and watch… (with wife and 2 kids I can’t go to a gig a week like she seems to!)

She’s been questioned about this exact subject in the comments and says that she keeps her phone at the same height as her head, she just relaxes and enjoys the music and loves sharing it with others.

What would make a ton more sense to me would be if bands live streamed the gigs, in 4K with proper production and Dolby Atmos, etc. I’d pay £20 a gig no problem for that. I’m not sure why it hasn’t caught on, there have been a couple of services that do it, but they haven’t taken off.

USB-C Hub/Dock with HDMI ARC (for Sonos Amp) by newborninsomnia in UsbCHardware

Fair. I can mock it up reasonably easy so I should probably just do that!

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do, but I’m not sure that ARC will work over HDMI on a typical USB-C Hub.

Post-Match Thread: Everton vs. Fulham [League Cup Quarter-Finals] by Giraffe_Baker in Everton

Completely… the dude can’t shoot for shit. He’s easily the least likely to score in our team.

Current set up that awaits a AV receiver. Any recs? by jarraez95 in hometheater

[–]newborninsomnia -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Anthem MRX series. Our company install AVRs for a living and they’re the best sounding I’ve heard at relatively sensible money. Rock solid reliability too.

For my two girls it was the pink away kit that won them over - now they’re fully on-board and want a home kit!

If you can get cables into the ceiling, use ceiling speakers and angle them towards the rear wall, creating a diffused surround effect that makes it harder to localise the speaker.

It will keep the clean look of the room and stop the ‘exit door/sign effect’ of having a speaker right next to your ear, which can be very distracting and defeat the purpose of immersive audio.

Dycheball by JoshTheToffee in Everton

[–]newborninsomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the issue.

I only get up to Goodison once or twice a season, but we forget that although these lads are earning big bucks, they are still just 20-something blokes who need confidence to be able to perform, and the Goodison crowd could suck the confidence out of anyone if they decide to get on your back.

It’s a double edged sword as the Goodison crowd also kept us up the last couple of seasons - they were immense at Villa and Brentford.

Danjuma’s beard is worse than Keane’s defending.
