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?

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....

More can't be bothered with ads that declare;

"Built like a tank."

"Punches way above it's weight."

"Giant killer."

And my all time favorite; "My loss is your gain!"

@johnnotkathi ,

I know, right?

Silly old people for liking their music created by actual musicians...
