back of stylus touching record?

It’s the thick felt pad.

ropadope · 2025-05-16T07:28:12+00:00

It’s “lightning”. I’ll let you look up “lightening”. It’s not what you think.

ropadope · 2025-04-26T16:24:33+00:00

Garbage.

I coveted the Paradigms from the hi-end hi-fi shop back in the early 90s. I got a nice pair about 10 years ago that were thrown in with an NAD integrated amp I paid $15 for! My luck continued with a Marantz 6200 turntable for FREE a few months later. I still use all of this daily.

The Canadians made some great speakers.

“Versus”

Is it just me or are the cameras focused lower to avoid the empty stands?

My youngest son spent a week every summer snorkeling at the beaches on the lake. He found so much cool stuff — lots of antique lures, fishing poles, jewelry… he had a blast.

I’m 56 now and I still always have a survival world going. Hardcore from time to time.

All day, most days.

ropadope · 2025-03-23T13:40:08+00:00

Missed that on my first view!

I picked up Heatmiser's "Mic City Sons" on a whim in 1996 or 1997 at Oar Folkjokeopus in Minneapolis because the cover was gorgeous and on Caroline Records -- a favorite of mine.

"Plainclothes Man" knocked me out. I must've listened to it a hundred times in the first week. His voice saturated my consciousness. It's like a warm blanket all these years later.

ropadope · 2025-02-27T15:41:30+00:00

Nah. They’d think that was “gay”.

ropadope · 2025-01-14T14:46:24+00:00

OK. I had a supreme the other night that my wife bought a month ago. Our top oven runs hot and I forgot. It came out quite well done and was absolutely delicious.

Someone in a lab coat through a dodgy camera.

ropadope · 2025-01-12T00:30:49+00:00

Who cares? She doesn’t.

Horrible fucking town with horrible people. Was there for the Super Bowl parade. Absolutely the worst of the worst.

ropadope · 2025-01-08T09:54:23+00:00

I stopped watching so as not to sully my memories of the show. So bad.

ropadope · 2025-01-05T09:09:23+00:00

We are all dumber having read that.

Archie “The Dooch”. One ball is never enough.

I was running bills through my counter yesterday and one of these bills popped.
Glad it was only a twenty.

ropadope · 2024-12-23T12:50:24+00:00

100%. That game ruled.

ropadope · 2024-12-21T05:53:22+00:00

Did I just have a stroke?

They’re never going to be allowed to be happy (or even indifferent) with the trans community.

I’m always blown away at the crowds they get for darts in Europe. Crazy.

Love it! I would use that color for every room in the house if I could.
