    yeah. these aren't 'sealed' really. just attenuate outside noise. i use these headphones for everything so the volume on my ipod lives in pretty much the same place all the time. it's easy to remember to check the volume before pressing play which is what i do before i press play on anything ever regardless of what it's plugged into ;)

    lol, I was just thinking the same while reading his post It feels... well, I won't trust his reviews in the future, that is for sure i have etymotic er4 in ear ear buds so they block out about 28 db of outside noise. I was thinking about getting inears too but I am paranoid about what would happen if I forgot to decrease the volume on my portable player after listening on different headphones (I switch them often) and then blasting the inears super loud in the ear canal, or if a youtube audio glitch suddenly happened... I would love for headphones to have integrated limiter by default (similar to BBC standards for their employees). no big deal. they aren't that loud. these aren't in ear monitors for stage like singers use. they're just good headphones inside an ear plug. i've used them for more than 10 years. they just came out w/a slightly improved version.. info here https://www.headphone.com/products/etymotic-er-4sr-studio-reference-earphone you can find them cheaper some times on amazon etc but headphone.com has good reviews and is good for research. they trash headphones in reviews and will stop carrying them if they really don't like them.. but leave the review up. points for honesty.

    there were some tracks that i jelled with right away but can say that after listening all the way through a few times and several times to big chunks of it that it all really jells after a while. the personality of it as a whole comes through a bit more now. it's really great to listen to if you have some house chores to do or something like painting a room. yesterday i pressure washed the house/walkway/patio and it took quite a while so i was nicely transported out of the menial tedious task of it into a digital autechre weirdness headspace for most of that time.

    how do i vote for that in november?
  11. ignatius
    the choice is more nuanced than that. but.. everything is really.

    there are ways to capture loops of random sequences and loop them then reseed and let it wander then capture a chunk of it again and repeat. easy example is a turing machine in eurorack. this demo lays it out in a pretty straightforward way. i'm guessing someone proficient in max could make something like this but for a performance patch.

    gotta say... Michelle Obama laying down some fire w/this speech. no zingers waiting for laughs.. just laying it out like a person with an actual thing to say and some vision. picked apart trump w/o even saying his name.

    many of those "fight at fast food restaurant" videos on youtube. countless really. but that "live from the taco bell drive thru" is surreal. stupid people are everywhere. :( some great real time commentary here this kind of thing is scary what is it about fast food restaurants that brings the drama?

    post convention bump. we still have a few months of things bouncing around though. who the fuck knows at this point.

    this makes me sad. i love ice cream. can't imagine the disappointment.

    That is fucked up. jesus. fucking texas. wtf. i hope she wins her lawsuit. that's a pretty fucked up scenario and seems unprecedented.
  19. ignatius
    lol. true. and the price of that good work is she'll be answering questions about it for a long time. i think she had plans to run for something somewhere but i'm guessing this little scandal will follow her around long enough to be a monkey wrench. i'm guessing she gets a political appointment in the clinton administration if clinton wins.
  20. ignatius
    she fucked herself. the DNC is shit. so is RNC.. as expected.. big money politics at this level is a weird game. just a tangent story about business as usual. Obama actually banned certain contributions.. DNC rolled back the bans https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/dnc-allowing-donations-from-federal-lobbyists-and-pacs/2016/02/12/22b1c38c-d196-11e5-88cd-753e80cd29ad_story.html The ban was a symbolic way for Obama to put his stamp on the party in 2008 when he promised voters “we are going to change how Washington works.”

    inevitable? i thought it already happened. f o x n e w s and i guess there's a counter point to foxnews somewhere but i can't say what it is. no cable over here. guessing it's MSNBC?

    this would hand trump the presidency. edit: but i think a new progressive party is needed. what would happen is the dems would just remarket themselves and give more progressive candidates places on the ticket in state/local elections. it would be a clusterfuck for a while for sure. but at very least would send clear message to establishment
  24. ignatius
    yeah.. it's awful. if the final line of that wasn't "i hope you burn in hell" then i'd not have posted it. it's the only thing that makes it a post i can live with.

    i'm kind of glad she didn't pick warren for VP as i didn't want to see her get caught up in hillary's web of bullshit and then she'd have a cloud over her that would be tough to shake off down the road. this way she stays clean and can keep fighting the good fight and align herself with the progressives for the next goaround.
