  • Seattle area people. Is it actually going to snow in the next few days? Supposed to be driving to Blaine on Monday for a nexus interview and then be in Everett Monday night, Redmond Tuesday and driving south that night around 9:30.

    ..That being said, when it does snow it usually doesn’t stick around very long.

    Good luck on your Interview regardless! Maybe you can do it virtually?!

    Nah the interview is just the finger printing stuff to get the nexus card. it's not a job interview and I'm going to go since I have to be in Kent Sunday for work. I'll mostly be on the high way so I'm not super worried. Maybe I'm too much of a north easterner but 3 inches doesn't sound bad

    Word! I am from Central IL and 3 inches ain’t shit there but out here they (understandably) don’t have the snow plows or salt to really clean up things during the infrequent times it does snow and add the fact that for some reason no one can drive for shit out here if their is any sort of weather. I-5 will be as fine as I-5 ever is. You’ll be fine I’m sure.

    Thirdman putting the Ann Arbor Blues tracklist as a giant ass sticker is annoying.

    TMR botching the pressing on my Disc 2 is also annoying.

    I'm almost done with vol 1 and no problems here. Sounds great for a bootleg

    Anyone have a cheaper alternative to a flipbin?
    Catching up on a lot of stuff I've bought recently. Lucille sounds amazing. Aretha is still Queen, and The Comet is Coming "Afterlife" is great.
    Hadn't listened to Flaming Lips before this box. Glad I bought the bundle this is great. Wish they came with download codes...Guess I need a black flag.

    I've had my Soft Bulletin CD for 20 years, but I also wish there was a DL code, since "Slow Motion" wasn't on the US release of the album.

    I left a message on the band's site asking for digital copies. I'll give it a few days and then if nothing I'll raise the jolly roger.
    Found Balnton's yesterday. Drinking a double-double of maker's and ginger now. Whiskey is the best.
    Anyone ever deal with barnes and noble sending warped records?
    New Avett Bros isn't bad but it seems more like a collection of singles than a planned album. Maybe that's because I only listened once?

    I haven't got around to listening to it yet but all excited to hear it as I've been enjoying most the singles (still not sure how I feel about "High Steppin'" though)

    listened to it and thought it was pretty good but felt a bit preachy to me even though I pretty much agreed with everything they addressed. I guess I just preferred when they sang about getting their shotguns rather than the problems with guns in movies.

    The cynic/businessman in me thinks that VMP is doing this to pad the cashflow account and cash on hand to try and be bought out, raise money, or something similar (probably not an IPO).

    I agree no IPO. But getting this much cash/hype in advance is a move companies do. It's why they might be trying to raise more funding/increase valuation. Maybe some of the cofounders want to sell some ownership to cash out a little. Who knows.

    I think that they’ve noticed a hit to the bottom line following the close of the forums and 6 months of really indifferent essentials. These 3 are big and in a row, it’s using FOMO to try and drive their numbers of essentials subscribers back up.
    bdm105
    bdm105
    Agreed. Because if they wanted to build hype dropping announcements month after month would have more of a punch then announcing all 3 at once.
    People who live in apartment buildings. Is there anything to worry about if there's a package for me in the USPS package box if it has to sit there for over a week? USPS wouldn't ship it back would they?
    bdm105
    bdm105
    I guess I didn't explain it well. The building has the mail system where a package is put in a lock box with the key left in your mailbox (that is also locked and you have the key for it)

    I would still place a USPS hold and use the apartment hold as a back up. That way it's still in the USPS Tracking system. If it's delivered to your apartment, that's lost.

    Yeah it's currently waiting for me in the USPS package lock box
    Thoughts on stacking 2 ikea 3x3s on each other? Too much weight right?

    Wait, ignore me. I had in my head that you were stacking two 4x2 which would provide a sturdier base. This whiskey is strong tonight.

    I thought I would have room in a cutout of the new apartment for two 3x3s. Turns out there's only room for 1. Now my new den is going to turn into the vinyl/book storage room and all the records will be in there with the turntable in the living room.
    Need longer cables for the new place. Any reason not to get the cheapest gold plated long ones on Amazon?

    Crappy cables will make your sound muddy and can cause a much bigger headache. I’m not saying to buy the most expensive, but I wouldn’t go the cheapest either.

    Get some Blue Jeans cables! Inexpensive, but really good quality

    Depends on how long the cables you need are...but the longer the cables, the more the sound can degrade depending on what cables you use as far as I know.
