I don't take blindfold tests very seriously. There are far too many variables involved. Somebody on another board was trying to convince me that there is no audible difference between 16bit and 24bit and cited some blindfold test as an example. He said the music was "orchestral" music, but when pushed further revealed that it was orchestral music using sample libraries. Obviously, recording real classical music in a real acoustic space like a hall is going to show off the qualities of 24bit (bigger dynamic range, better resolution for reverb tails, etc.) than a sampled, synthesized "orchestra", no matter how good the samples are. For the piano blindfold, what sort of music was it? Playing a fast Beethoven piece with lots of runs and pouding of the keys is different than playing a slower piece with lots of sustain where strings are interacting with other strings causing sympathetic vibrations and such.

He's dead. It don't matter.

Yes, you should try to find what he's using. He gets some cool stuff going on. BTW, I'm moving this to the "Musicians" forum.

Done and done. Although the poop was not as furious due to the lack of a PCI bus.

DUDE, WARNE WITH A B3?! I'D LIKE TO HEAR THAT. JAZZ4U, IS THAT AVAILABLE!?!!?

Bill Simmons, The Sports Guy, rated the Celtic players recently on his page: The Sports Guy This quote just made me laugh out loud:

Criminey. Maybe I should make it so he can only post once a day.

Battlestar Galactica sucks. (A companion to my "Star Wars sucks." statement.) Oh, and before we even get there, Dr. Who sucks too.

Aric, have you stopped taking your meds again? Between this, your brilliant OJC idea, and your completely insensitive and MORONIC response to jazz4u in the Warne Marsh thread, you're working overtime. Time to get back on the train, dude.

AND TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK you midgit.

Aric, shut the fuck up please.

I still need to pick this up. I buy so few CDs these days that I have made it my mission to buy only new releases.

Did you mention that she was HOT?

Kids, this is what happens when you stop listening to the music and instead focus on the medium. You have been warned.

Woo hoo! Hope all turns out well! Keep us posted when you can! Oh and... CONGRATS!!!!

He is a brilliant man.

Ok, I took the Santa-O graphic down. Be sure to hit your browser's "refresh" button or you'll live with the old one for months.

Star Wars sucks.

Soulful?

Have you seen these? http://www.elmirastoveworks.com/northstar/index.cfm Rachel Ray has these in her kitchen on TV. I love the refridgerator. Not too hip on the stove, but I have an old Fridigaire stove from the 1950s sitting in my garage, waiting to be installed in our kitchen. It has 4 burners and dual ovens and has loads of chrome! The burner dials look like radio tuners and have lights behind them that light when you turn burners on!!! It's very cool. And it even says, "Fridigaire, made by General Motors" on it! We haven't decided if we're going to put it in our remodeled kitchen or not. If we decided not to, I just found out that those old stoves are going for big bucks!!

Dude, I know.

FOOLS! Your petty talent is no match for the powers of ORGANISSIMO Time to DIE!

How's this for hot? We're in the process of re-designing our kitchen and soon we'll start remodeling. I told my wife on Friday that when we re-do the kitchen, we're buying all new cookware. And it's going to be Viking, dammit!!!

Cilantro and coriander are the same? Wow. Learn something new everyday (and use a cliche everyday as well!)

It's easy when you're talkin' loud but sayin' nothin'! 2005. 2005. 2005. Good thing I'm not writing checks.
