        Good morning. That sounds great! I also just made myself a nice warm cup. Really appreciate the extra 1 hour of sleep!

        As a watch guy I actually enjoy setting the correct time. I even go to the NIST atomic clock site to set the time exactly to the second.

        @Cspirou I’m the same way. Even with the microwave. My favorite is changing back to Standard Time. DST, not as much.

      I just listened to the 2014 remix of George Harrison’s Beware of Darkness. It’s beyond horrible. I’m terrified to listen to the album.

        I just checked the dynamic range database. It’s been compressed. Quite a bit. The person posting the measurements commented that the album sounded tinny.

        The one to get is the 2010 hi-res remaster (not remix). It’s out of print now but it is lovely and dynamic and the best I’ve ever heard the album sound.

        I owned the original vinyl when it was first released. The 2014 remaster just doesn’t sound right. Like a lot of remasters. I wish they would just stop trying to screw around with things that don’t need to be fixed. They got the damn thing right the first time. I’d love to hear the 2012 remaster. Hopefully I can get it someday. It’s a wonderful album that really shows George Harrison‘s talent.

        It’s because they keep telling us to sing Happy Birthday twice when we wash our hands. That’s a lot of Happy Birthday! I love Always Look! Reminds me of Monty Python. :)

        He tried to use a more standard mix and they lose something, it changes the feel to the songs. Not a complaint about the sound quality. Just the mix.

        @Gaspasser they don’t. I guess I couldn’t understand that they had the number to DD, but I had to call, because they didn’t have a way to contact them. Was actually funny to me, that they did have a way to contact them. Then she put me on hold to see if they could figure it out.

        Just got back. Go see it. I’m going again later this week. It is fun at times, but as always meant to get one thinking. Like an opera sort of, happy, sad, and in between. Stay past The End credits.

        Edit: If you didn’t see the concert and wanted to go, go see it. It’s only showing again on 10/6.

        Instead of having shit fly towards you at > 252 km/h, it is down to between 209 and 252 km/h. And stalled there for the moment. Unprecedented damage levels. They will need help from everywhere.
