It can’t be helped, but there’s a lot of it about

What is it with old people these days? Just lazing about and sipping lattes, probably.

UK’s version of Geert Wilders, but probably a fair bit smellier for all the fags and ales he consumes.

Too many. And people of Clacton got what they deserved as they voted him in.

Is there a bigger societal waste day-in-day-out than people sitting in traffic jams? Any measure that reduces car journeys taken is a good measure in my books.

On a completely unrelated note, in 1973 they build a police station in St Ives Cambs … in Pig Lane. The name of the road next to the police station was hastily changed, but the rest of Pig Lane is still there.

I made couple of bass tramps tuned to the room’s main resonant frequencies, which I measured. I followed instructions from the book.

I added sound absorber panels to the walls and ceiling to kill immediate reflections from the main speakers plus a sprinkling of additional panels to kill reflections and also act as decoration. I also needed to move one radiator because it was in the worst possible location for my setup.

The room got thick curtains to improve absorption, and they also darken the room as it is dual use music listening and home cinema room. A few defraction elements went into the ceiling for a good measure. The ceiling is made of custom panels that I made myself from wood and fabric to allow sound energy through to the various acoustic elements behind them.

I also spent a fair amount of time with subwoofer placement, but in the end it became a bit of a compromise between sound and placement of furniture. Nothing a bit of signal processing can’t deal with, mind.

Full colours across the sky is something else. It’ll be winter time for obvious reasons, and therefore typically cold as fuck, but definitely worth it.

Almost all albums I love most took several listens to get into. Music that sounds great on first listen often becomes boring quickly. More challenging stuff takes its time but in the end delivers much more pleasure.

Good morning. I was demolishing a floor yesterday and my muscles are expressing their unhappiness in no uncertain terms. I should have stretched properly but the beer after hard work was just too tempting.
