:D :D eee, you make me laugh sometimes

Good.

1.- You conveniently averted the part in which I noted I was being facetious (well, "a dick") because I'm waiting for my record to arrive while you're already listening to it. Enjoy your mooky 24 kbps, by the way.

2.- I already told you you're not Tiny anymore, because Stormy Daniels gave that one forever to President Tiny.

3.- :fuckyou:

Stephen Carpenter got himself a custom 9 string for the next Deftones album slated for 2019.

Check out those big-ass Fishman Fluence pick ups too

I couldn't be more excited. It's okay if nobody else here is.

If SuchFriends still posted, he'd be just as ecstatic as I am.

1. But *I’m* being facetious
2. You couldn’t tell so maybe I’m not being facetious now
3. :fuckyou: 2

Is that so...


Anyone can see the bile there and tell it wasn't facetious. So :fuckyou:³.

Not everyone's as much of an audiophile as you, Soup. So long as I enjoy the music, I really don't care that much about what I'm listening to it on.

I saw this coming a mile away. :)

I sincerely don't consider myself an audiophile. If I were, I would stop paying the rent (altogether; I'm on my way there anyway :D), I would even stop eating, I would beg, steal, cheat and lie and use ALL of those coins to get a veritable motherfucker of a stereo system built from scratch by a truly audiophile monk in the Himalayas or summat. Now, some artists wanted their music to be perfect when coming out of a regular transistor radio (John Fogerty, at least during his CCR days) or a Dansette or a tape deck (Mark E. Smith). I think that's awesome. Lester Bangs also mentioned in 1980 that on a so-called state-of-the-art audio equipment which back then cost a thousand dollars Jackson Browne sounded great while the Ramones' records felt completely lost.

But here's the thing: there are no contradictions between caring about sonic quality and what people like Fogerty, Smith and the Ramones wanted their art to sound/feel like, because I can for shit fucking sure tell you that none of them wanted LARGE CHUNKS OF WHAT THEY CREATED CLIPPED OFF OF THE FINAL PRODUCT. So I simply listen to the best quality audio I can afford on the best audio equipment I can afford, and pretty much hope that whoever was in charge of mastering/remastering the tunes didn't fuck up.

As for Spotify's 24kbps bitrate, that's not even a bad joke. Consider that 32kbps is "generally acceptable only for speech". And they have the nerve to charge you for that bullcrap? Come on.

“Things can be more than one thing” should have been a clue that I was speaking FAF (facetiously as fuck), also the fatty thing. And the “No you can’t be Biggie” thing.

But now I’m actually mad, because you won’t believe I wasn’t so it’s fite time

You see, this seems like you're saying 'you shouldn't be listening to the music if you can't get it at higher quality'. Which sucks, because not all of us have piles of cash to go out and buy records.

:D

Claire, no — if that terrible quality is all you can access, by all means go for it. What I'm saying is be aware that it's terrible quality. :)

Hey, "Claire, no" sounded like "Caroline, No". (And yes, I'm aware that's a YouTube link. :D)
