Gotta ask, what is this *G* you keep posting?

What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?
In this post let's consider alcohol, nicotine, and coffee drugs, as they are, along with the usual suspects that can get you arrested in most US states and beheaded in Saudi Arabia. I live in Victoria, Canada, which has more marijuana shops than Starbucks, and we have tons of Starbucks. In 10 minutes, I can walk from my house to four dispensaries, which will sell to anyone over 18. OK, enough bragging, For me, a puff, and just one puff (I don't like getting stoned) can be the best tweak ever. A glass of wine is also a fine
compliment. Too much alcohol will increase my enjoyment (because I'm drunk) but put Phil Spector in the room (wall of sound and loss of the stuff I value in my system, such as clarity).

*Laugh* timrhu, old 'webchat' nomenclature. *Grin*, *LaughOutLoud*, *InMyHumbleOpinion*, and other contractions. It's gotten out of hand with the text-ers 'IMHO', what with emojis and all that graphical stuff. If you're not a teenager, who can decipher that? It's rapidly becoming a modern version of pictographic languages like Chinese or Japanese.... I just use it so you've got some sense of how I'm feeling about what I'm typing at y'all. Esp. in this forum, and esp. regarding the subject under discussion, which is real 'left field' for a 'serious audio crowd'. I mean, Really. "How f*ck'd up do you get when listening?" Before, during, after? Considering the current state of Reality, I've been considering Constantly, Dawn to Lights Out. A major case of becoming allergic to civilization, I suspect....;) Wonder if it's catchy? |
(Laughing) Well, it's 'ancient history' for him. I suspect that vinyl and records might be mysterious in their appeal to some, but he's your grandson and he's aware of your 'predilection'....so an old version of emotive annotation might seem....quaint and backwards. Well, I'm assuming such...but emojis? I suspect he's better versed in those....again, assuming, given his age group and the popularity of cells within it, and texting/messaging/all that. Why *G* when a symbol is less keystrokes, if keystroked at all? (I'm not a 'swiper' on my phone's keypad...spouse is good at it, me naah...) I'm a handkerchief user. My spouse thinks that's dated and quaint as well. Should I stop? It wouldn't be pretty if I did. Relating that (obliquely,perhaps) to not using any 'emotive comment' on a (well, my) posts leaves one with guessing if I'm serious or pulling your leg (another ancient activity), which happened earlier in this forum. Should I stop? I'd rather not.... I'm happy to expound if asked and clarify anything I've said or intimated in my somewhat off-centered ramblings. I'm here to perhaps learn something, read opinions, tap into 'what's hot/what's not', and have some fun in the process. I have my preferences like anyone else here...my opinions are subject to the same up/down vote as well. Getting into lengthy discussions over such isn't my style...brevity isn't either, obviously from the above.... ;) But you're more than welcome. *S* |
BTW, going back somewhat towards the original topic... http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-wall-of-sound A little CA history story for y'all. For your consideration...;) |
