      Drove out for some Thai food and ran into the Freedom Convoy that circled the DC Beltway today. Kinda surreal; soo many pickups with flags..

        @Gazny For basil flavor I like pad kra pow. So many great Thai dishes though. All the curries, chicken with cashews, khao soi, the classic pad thai, fresh spring rolls, all great. I miss Thailand!

      Late-comer to diving deep into The Beatles discography, recommendations for best stereo CD box set or individual later album masterings?

        Certain 2009 mono remasters are only available in the Beatles in Mono boxset (those not in the U.S. Albums boxset). You can still find individual 2009 stereo remasters. I purchased Let It Be (2009) new from Target recently to have a backup. Abbey Road (2009) from Amazon too, but the printing on the digipack is blurry so wonder if it's counterfeit. Have a replacement on the way to confirm. Be careful of counterfeits!

        I realize you already bought the US albums box set, but I thought I should warn you that The Beatles were not involved with the creation and sequencing of the US versions of their albums until Sgt. Pepper when the UK track list became the default worldwide.

        So while there is a lot of good music in the US albums set, it’s a total mishmash with songs from different albums thrown together, singles added in wherever. The music is all good but it’s not the way The Beatles intended it all to be heard.

      College landscape changed so much since I graduated 20 years ago - now there's "merit aid", aka tuition discount inventive to attend.

        We had this in the late eighties - get a distinction and have your tuition refunded for that course, into an account of your choosing - ie. not back into your parent's account :=).

        In my experience the app is just slow and laggy. The Apple TV version seems to be the only one that runs decently. Everything else is a test of patience.

        I felt a particular joy last night watching for the first time since its theatrical release. Beyond nostalgia, I think one of the best action comedies that's more satisfying than a lot of what's come out since, as cheesy as it may seem today.

        My feeling is that people generally hate Slipknot, recordings not conducive to mid-fi+ audio chains, but I still occasionally queue them up because I'm a fan of Joey Jordison.

        One of my all-time favorites. I hated 1979 when it came out since the video came on MTV every 1/2 second, but I love it now.

        Saw Billy Corgan do an unmic'd solo version at Ryman Auditorium and it was one of the best concert moments I've ever witnessed.

        Perhaps the only good thing about HIV/AIDS was that people could, ever after, walk into a shop and buy condoms. Embarrassment gone. Although, come to think of it, I never tried walking down the street wearing one.
