What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience?

(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...

A little CA history story for y'all.  For your consideration...;)

Amazingly these are all legal!  My preferences, not necessarily in this order: Dopamine, Serotonin, Endorphins and especially Oxytocin.  And we all have them handy.  A quick search on how to naturally release these chemicals from their constraints may improve not only what is between your ears, yet your whole body and your listening session.  Never would have thought that shooting a gun or petting the cat (both varieties) before listening to the rig could heighten my listening experience.  Enjoy!

Love is the drug.

"....shooting a gun or petting the cat ...."

Go with the latter.  Either of those doesn't draw unnecessary attention to the following listening session.  Both could be done during, but there's gonna be a break in there at some point for the one...;)

The former lends itself to metal music played loud because one's ears could still be ringing.  But that tends to overly excite the gendarmes who tend to show up after gunfire.  Some overstimulation for some social groups isn't a good thing....they want to compete with bull horns, sirens, all that police stuff...

A real buzz kill....*smirk*
