Entertain me! (the twisted & disturbing are welcome)
Anyone else watching Nordoff Robbins?

Entertain me! (the twisted & disturbing are welcome)
Does anyone know the story about the wagon in which each piece was just as good as every other piece? I've wracked my brain, asked a number of people, and searched the web to no avail. For some reason I feel like it is related to Canterbury. …

Nice to have such a distinction. That works very well.

There is no real difference between sociopathy and psychopathy other than connotations. If there is any difference, it is a fine line. Psychopathy: A personality disorder characterized by deceitfulness, manipulation, grandiosity, lack of empathy or…

Goldfrapp recordings are very clean.

London Grammar
I have a growing penchant for music that contains hidden, subtle power. London Grammar seems to typify that for me. They are like this incredible fusion of classical and rock&roll. I love the way the music composition seems to be constructed …

I guess one could envision a person that goes to church due to a sincere desire to 'become good'. Still, there isn't a single corporate executive that I think could make that argument. As I was pondering this idea, I kept envisioning…

I can think of one exception for christians but, even the use of that out, would prove the case. The christian religion (or, at least some branches) teaches that anyone can be forgiven. If a person goes to church while letting his soul get chipped…

As long as they are not doing sociopathic, self-serving, or other things that do not align with the teachings of their "saviour". I can't think of a one, though, that I know, that are such.

I do not think I disagree with any of what you are saying.

Oh! Just realized I missed a word. When I said "hard core atheist", I should have said, "and narcissist". Heck, probably solipsist, as well.

Ha! Shinto. Did you know that if you visit a place of worship for the Shinto gods that you have to bring as much change as possible to throw into a can in order to wake up the gods? They are not paying any fucking attention to you unless you ring…

I think you understood when I said, "no matter what they verbally profess about their beliefs". That was kind of key to the statement. There are all kinds of people that profess their religious beliefs whereas their actions belie their wo…

It's just the excuse used by those that are more savvy (think Trump) and willing to use the lives of others for their own purposes. Otherwise known as sociopaths. Note that almost every large corporation in the world is ruled by sociopaths. …

Another bug. You mentioned somewhere how Serenity trashed Goldfrapp. Maybe you're right, she does seem to have a very vengeful spirit. But, all I saw was her trashing the participants on this board. She has a point.

By the way, you realize that "virtually every conflict in history has been seated in religion" is so far from the truth as to be appalling, right? Religions were used to recruit those that were predisposed to believing in delusions and wi…

You may be right. That has close to the flavor that I remember. As far as what went haywire on this forum, I trace it back to this new board. So many things went wrong after that. Everything 'seemed' copacetic before that. I do wonder a…

So, basically, after careful study, your sound is not going to be pristine (especially in the high end (maybe the recording engineer's ears are blown from listening to his music too loud?), even if you build a thoroughly clean link from file to…

You're right, IUV. I've been being snarky. Sorry to all about that. It's just that I miss the interaction with Serenity. It was such a shame that she was essentially driven off of this board and I would still like to know why.

I can't believe it took me forty years to realize that 3-way speakers are essential to good sound. 2-way speakers just suck.

Can’t help that but happy for others to believe if it really helps them or if they just need it as a crutch. I'll just stick to the one question. Why did you and Iuventus attack Serenity's religious beliefs?

Personally, blah, blah, blah Then, why is it that you attacked Serenity's religious beliefs? Is it only because she ignored your self-abrogating flirtatious advances or was it something else? And, then Iuventus piles on for no rational r…

Hmmm, the more I consider twitter, the more I realize it is just one more symptom of what is really wrong. Any time people are allowed to be anonymous, the animal comes out in full regalia. I think, maybe, the first instance of it was road-rage. …

We deal with nothing other than surface issues. Sorry to pick on you, Low, but twitter is a perfect example. Is it really a toxic lifeform or is it the people on it that create a toxic environment? Religions, governments, economic policies, techn…

Okay, that's weird, so let's try it again. As Joni would say, "the lines are open". For a few hours, anyways.

Since the original discussion was about headphones, I thought I should add this. Don't expect a lot of research on this as I'm not fond of headphones. I just happened to run across this article... https://www.soundguys.com/android-usb-au…
