Things we cannot be bothered by anymore


Occurred to me today that I have dropped stuff that I cannot just be bothered by anymore, and wondering what some of you out there have let go of as well 

Me (lean mostly into analog)

- Lifting a tonearm lever to cue a platter - no more - years off my life

- Carbon brushes, cart cleans with every spin or two - years off my life

- Ugly racks that look like ones I had in 10th grade, though cost 20x more - out 

- Listening at low volume levels to gauge audiophile purity

- A/B'ing streaming platforms 

Finale - $50 audiophile pressings "remastered from the original master tapes" that sound like sanitized cheese spread - magic gone, warped, drop-outed, bubbled, and gain-whacked (there are exceptions for sure)

 

How about you?

I cannnot be bothered with endless discussions on particular cable superiority regardless of the kind of cable it is.

* - listening to modern rock and roll and whatever millennials call music today...

* - No Effin rap please, or hip hop, or Nine Inch Nails. No please. Music needs to coddle me and uplift me, help me relax, soothe my tortured soul, and make me feel human again. Classical, blues, some older rock and even folk music ( I know you guys hate that ). Sometimes its like drinking wine at a beer party or drinking beer at a wine party. But sometimes I just dont want what everyone else is having. If all I had to listen to was so called modern music, I would just give up and not listen to anything. I guess that makes me officially an old fart. I don't care, it is what it is.

Posters who assume that everybody lives in the USA

To our friends to the North: Your new US passports are in the mail 😂🤣😂

Not so fast!

Check their plaid shirt pockets for contraband poutine and fentanyl!

@livinon2wheels ,

Don't tell me you didn't watch that awesome halftime show with all the finger pointing, tip toe strutting and deep, meaningful lyrics??!

In light of the SB half-time show....

 

Cannot be bothered with the never ending cycle of old people saying to young people "that's not even real music / I can't understand any of the words!!"

Sheeeeesh....
