Finally, with the series over and the sems well out of the way. It’s time for some well deserved R&R .Some free time minus family at home meant only one thing!
INSANE LEVELS OF MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pushed my amp and speakers to their max…today and yesterday. And I did learn a lot about audio amplifier behavior(written more about it here). Heck…I pushed it till the LED’s on it which had lain dormant on them started to light up! All that electricity was blown up as mostly Linkin Park reanimation, with a fair sprinkling of Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. I usually don’t listen to these …but these did seem like the ideal tracks to torture test an audio rig, and torture test it was indeed! Heck... At least I heard rock in a totally different way! Meanwhile my steady diet of classical and country music (read audiophile music) continues unabated with this week going to IL DIVO and Emmylou Harris
IL DIVO is the brainchild of Simon Cowell...the nice guy from “American Idol” and they really are quite different from anything I’ve heard commercially. Josh Groban seems to be the nearest approximation…but these guys are really different! To get an idea of how they sound like , Think of an opera singer boy band. Backstreet + Bochelli. Interestingly, the mix works quite well. Emmylou Harris is just plain country, and I just got a 2 CD anthology of her …Its quite nice actually, reminiscent of Dolly Parton style country, but with a sharper voice...
Im still looking for a good mouse , a five button and/or high precision optical mouse for about 700...Im still looking:(
