Brighid of Byrness Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Am I to surmise you enjoyed your new album purchase?! Hope your speakers sound up to snuff Listening to this album on vinyl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsAFY6Ke5QM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Portrait of Zool Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Wish I could hear it... Unfortunately, though the speakers do sound MUCH better there is some tweaking to be done. I have actually endeavored to build my own speakers, which isn't going so well, but means I have some cool things like a sound measurement system. I have a few 'tweaks' in mind, which I then have to test to see how they go. Perhaps in an hour or so I'll have one speaker up and running with the mods to test, and if they are staisfactory modify the second one tomorrow, and if not... I am jonesing for music!!!

Look for this podcast entitled "How to do it", hosted by Nash Bozard and Lordkat. They cover a loooot of tech, but go into a decent amount of user-friendly depth on audio amongst their other topics.

Ozymandias Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 As for me (in the imediate sense), I found inspration in a mishmash of Linkin Park, Archive, and Dr. Steel as I read and posted just today to the Death of the Mighty Pen/Boaz Room thingummy we've got going here. Recent finds (and infatuations/lifelong love affairs) include Steam Powered Giraffe (SO. FUN.), The Submarines (ohmygoodnesssoprettyandchilling), Parov Stelar, and Family Force 5 (this latter being quite SO rockin' that I blew out my car's speakers...).

Ozymandias Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Are you sure? Yahoo would never lie to me; but there were a LOT of matches to sort through, so I skipped them and went straight to the blip show. (...smart guy!)

Brighid of Byrness Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'm so bad... Yes...you are! But also silly...and we all need some silly. (Confession time -- I was one of the backup dancers for my favorite camp counselor (read that as sexy, college-aged camp counselor worthy of a crush) when he performed this song for a talent night. Fun times waaaay back when!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighid of Byrness Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Inspired by The Death of Rats, and in honor of coming across his "What?" post today just hours after jamming to this tune on my way to work (Once it came on the radio I cranked it up and sang at the top of my lungs with such emotion...I would have fit right in with them: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/b60e20a654/hold-me-closer-tony-danza) Don't you just love synchronicity? Happy Friday, everyone (unless you're living in NZ or some other far-off land where it's already Saturday...)

Brighid of Byrness Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 My favorite song from one of my most favorite albums. This song is actually on my turntable at this very moment Crazy bass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighid of Byrness Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Echotide. I got this CD about a year ago and haven't really listened to it much since, but I found it in my car a few days ago and am giving it another go on the stereo. First song starts out gently with melodic piano and then builds beautifully: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Portrait of Zool Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 My system has been down again. I got my speakers back together but my amplifier tends to run very hot so I am adding a fan to the back. I built the mount today, should have it installed tomorrow.
