So, what are you listening to?

[HipMF]

Bruch! Do you even?

In non-absurd news, I got some new headphones today (Sony MDR-7506). I don't usually buy many sony products, but thought I'd give 'em a whirl.

The department I work in now (my title officially changed to "electrical engineer" last week, whatever that's worth...) is super quiet 90% of the time, but we have one guy who (amongst other annoyances), feels the need to speak three times louder than normal when he's excited about something. I needed something to help me maintain sanity when he gets in to a 45-minute conversation with the 70-year-old maintenance guy about custom-built RFID garage door openers/the best snowblower ever built (throws snow 60+ feet!)/chainsaws that cut concrete/Edison batteries (it's a conspiracy!)/etc. So i needed a closed-back headphone to replace my old go-to Grado SR-60e's.

Despite reviews to the contrary, I find the bass to be excessive, although I agree with the reviews that the treble is accentuated. Lately I've been digging into some dark techno stuff, and they work great for that, but overall I prefer my old grados. Much "smoother" sounding IMO, but I wouldn't fault anyone for preferring one over the other.

Wow. I don't know how you spotted that. Yes they are. Had to buy a new set a few years ago because my old ones wore out.

Grados are very hard to beat for the price, I love my SR80i's that I've had for years.

Finally getting around to perusing my favorite "best albums of the previous year" list. Haven't made it through them all yet, but this one has stuck with me.

[HipMF]

Discovered Guided by Voices a couple weeks ago. Bee Thousand is solid gold.

One of my vendors recently turned me on to these guys and it's been my go to work music the past week.

I like the guitar.

The band name made me think of Italian Spiderman so there’s points for that as well.

Do kids these days even know what emo is?

Silverchair, Glassjaw and this were the trifecta of what I learned about after listening to emo and screamo in the early 2000's.  I now have to accept that Neon Ballroom is 22 years old and my brain can't handle that.

Doesn't matter your age, we're all part of the ________ generation

Liars put it another way: "They threw us all in a trench and stuck a monument on top". Label it, pretend you know everything about it, and go on with your life.

"Everybody in, his or her own life, needs a hobby; fills the void that work and rent creates... we can win..."/s

This thread needs a revival.

I've been listening to some interesting shit trying to revive my childhood going to Vans Warped tour ETC. 

If anyone likes Alt Rock + Alt RNB these might tickle your fancy. Least I am not posting the Rap or Metal I regularly listen to....

[HipMF]

Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene with a gangsta lean, woo-ooo

[HipMF]

Psychedelic music, as it were, is just a weak attempt to play Indian classical music on western instruments. Change my mind,

Not sure if it matters, it still sounds cool.

I have been jamming to KREAM Liquid labs. Pretty awesome mix sets and the drone footage is a cool bonus. Here is their latest:

The importance of physical media?

Threw Spotify a curveball today and it sent it right back at me. Listened to this album a bunch ~10 years ago and promptly forgot about it...

From the name I expected something far more aggressive but this was a surprise.  It gives me a Chicano Batman vibe.  I like it.
