It can be my

...SLEDGEHAMMER

 

[LemonMelon]

I still say this is the best thing ever:

YouTube - The Shining Recut

Watch from 0:49 on.

 

[the tourist]

Any that particularly jump out as must-listens? I can never decide what to listen to next.

Go for Ride or Sunny Day Real Estate. Although that's not my favourite by SDRE.

YESSSSS Solsbury Hills is just the icing on the cake

Sounds good. Those two and So will be next.

Any particular reason you chose Diary? Eh, you might like it the best. My favourite by them is How It Feels To Be Something On.

I've just heard a whole lot about it. I think it's their most acclaimed by a fair amount. Plus, the couple of tracks I heard beforehand were appealing to me.

 

[LemonMelon]

So

I'm starting with that. Red Rain is on now.

Oh damn you! I only have So on Vinyl, now I have to go dig it up

Get yourself a cane and you're sweet. Tip: If anybody is ever suspicious that you can see more than they think you should be able to, just use the line "low vision does not mean no vision".

I'm not joking when I say legal blindness is one of the best things that's ever happened to me.

My vision's pretty bad, though I haven't had it checked in years. If it got worse to the point of legal blindness, I can't say I wouldn't be pleased.



Hey Ashley, I'm feeling a ton better than I was earlier. We went and hung out with the German Boys, and it was cool to have a bit of a social life for a change.

Then we spent the last two and a half hours just lying together and talking, and I did get slightly weepy at one point (fucking hormones) because things are ~serious~ and ~complicated~. I think too much, I know. I just wish I knew a government official or something who could pull some strings, so that miles of red tape could be avoided.

Red Rain is pouring down, Ashley. Pouring all over me.

I'm glad to hear that it's good for you to get out

I really wish I knew what to tell you guys. That whole situation sucks on so many different levels

CHASS! Raingasm

Ugh, listening to my record player with headphones on reminds me how badly I need a new needle I hate having a roommate, even if it's a roommate I don't actually share a room with (complicated explanation required)

 

[the tourist]

That's Peter Gabriel, right?

 

[bono_212]

That's Peter Gabriel, right?

Yessssssssssssssssssssss

I don't think the headphones work on mine anymore. We had to go out of town to get a new needle for ours, because, well, nobody around here uses them anymore.

There is a record store that sells everything I need LITERALLY right down the street

I wanna unplug the headphones though, this sound is driving me nuts

 

[bono_212]

those sounds Peter makes at the beginning of Sledgehammer

I once saw this jukebox-looking thing that played CDs, cassettes, and vinyl records for $150. Should have picked that up, but it was too huge and gaudy to place anywhere in the house.

I've shown you mine right? My big regret about mine now is that it can't just automatically convert everything to CD like one I found for just $50 more can

It's just... he's going to have to go back to Guadalajara eventually, and who knows how long it would be before he's able to come back (legally this time!), and it just sucks. I would seriously fall apart without him, and it scares me so much. I don't want to go back to how I was before.

CHASS! Raingasm

Did he catch it from Bono? Is it contagious?

What pisses me off is that if you're just legally blind (like I am), you get plenty of assistance and perks, while if you're only faintly on the other side of the line, you get nothing. At least, that's how it is here. For most of my life, I believed I wasn't legally blind, because in controlled clinical conditions, I don't actually test as legally blind unless the person doing the test is familiar with my eye disorders (i.e. if they know nothing of my conditions and just get me to read an eye chart, I'm not at the level of legal blindness). So when I struck a guy with a clue this year and he found me to be legally blind - I was honestly elated. Everything's been better since then.

 

[coolian2]

So I said to myself, use exact change.

No, I don't think so.

My record player is just a plain ol' wooden one from the 70's. It's vintage x10.

 

[the tourist]

Yessssssssssssssssssssss

I've only heard his music on DI, but I'm not impressed with it.

 

[coolian2]

I used to race toy cars on my parents record player.

For curiosity's sake, how bad is your vision without glasses?

 

[LemonMelon]

Bah, everyone always uses the slowest and least catchy Peter Gabriel stuff (myself included ) for atmosphere's sake. Sledgehammer and Solsbury Hill are too awesome and catchy to be denied.

So they said to you, "hey arsehole, stop dumping your 10c and 20c pieces on us"?
