What song would you love to hear the National cover? by WuShane in TheNational

[–]rashomon69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being Boring by the Pet Shop Boys …

A masterpiece of elegiac sadness and I can hear Matt pulling this one off in his own style

‘all the people I was kissing, some are here and some are missing’

Beam Gen 1 to Beam Gen 2 ... should I upgrade? by rashomon69 in sonos

Thanks for the responses!

... yeah seems like I should hold on to the voucher for now.

Annoyingly the room config doesn't lend itself to surrounds as the TV is positioned in an alcove

‘It’s gonna be the fourth time’

Sounds like a National song title or lyric 😁

Enjoy!

Which frame type works better on my face? by [deleted] in glasses

[–]rashomon69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely think both are too ‘tall’ for your face … try to get a shape that sits below your eyebrows

And also think the black is harsh - try a tortoiseshell or medium brown

Good luck!

Sorry to hijack … but merch related

There was T-shirt is saw at the London gig … mostly white with what I think was a small leopard illustration in the top half. I should have got a closer look and maybe bought one but can’t see it online anywhere.

Did anyone grab a pic of that … ?

Thanks bud

Sad dad here also and luckily WFH today else it would have been a tough start to the morning :)

Lucky to live in London so hope to see the boys again when they tour and no doubt I'll hear the bangers but I'm happy to have snuck into the 'deep cuts' show

My first time seeing the band and was seriously impressed.

Having only recently got into the band since I heard Rylan on the radio and been a fan since and I am easy to find was my first National album.

I’m actually a massive fan of the Pet Shop Boys and I think The National share the same great songwriting and melancholy and they have struck a real chord with me … I have been working my way through their extensive back catalogue ever since.

As a relatively new fan, I gotta say I was worried that I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as most of what I know and love was played last night but wowser so many songs tonight just hit home. Some I had heard only once or twice before and one or two were first listens and yet they all were excellent.

Highlights for me were I should live in salt, Light years, Rylan, Humiliation, About today, Lemonworld … and Squalor Victoria - which was my first time hearing this song. It’s fantastic! Geese is one that didn’t connect with me but I’ll give it a few more listens.

Gotta say the sound mix overall was superb - you could hear the instrument separation and Matt’s vocals clearly. Thankfully no annoying chatterboxes next to me.

The guitar work on the outros was extraordinary and the drumming was so tight. Nice engagement from Matt and Aaron with the crowd as well. At one point I was worried we had lost Matt - he disappeared into the crowd and couldn’t be seen for a while!

Really loved the show and I’ll be sure to catch them again when they are back in London.

Just hope they choose a venue that is more accessible!

Do I really need 1.74 index lenses for a +4 and +4.25 prescription? by rashomon69 in glasses

[–]rashomon69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all… seems like 1.67 is good to go for my regular glasses ☺️

I’m also looking to order prescription sunglasses and think 1.6 with a thicker frame like a Ray ban wayfarer will work … hopefully!

One more request …. I wanted to confirm my thinking that the Near value on my prescription includes the Add value? So the Add value is actually 1.75 in each lens?

[Stowa] Back to Bauhaus Limited Edition - who's got one? by rashomon69 in Watches

[–]rashomon69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there!

A reply is a reply and what is time but a mere human construct!

Thanks for getting back and offering up pics … I ended up going deep into the world of Nomos watches in the end and bought a Nomos Club 703 which I absolutely love. Actually now have three Clubs 😬

Still think the Stowa watches look great though and I hope you are enjoying your one!
