As long as you're finding music that interests you, who cares what 'in touch' means ? Leave keeping up with the trends to those who think it's important. Music doesn't have to be freshly minted to be a revelation.

It's not annoying someone to ask for an update. If you've not heard anything for 2 months then you're well overdue a chat.

That's not a bass, it's a plough with strings.

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

It's been so long I can't remember... /Sob/

We could comply with 6 seconds spare.

Exactly. We should all go to the studio and press our faces right up into Mr. Holland's...to get that 'really there' vibe. Right. Up. Into. His. Face. Squish.

I recently got very much into Black Mountain after a friend bunged me a few CDs. Sometimes all you need is a drone and a riff. (Gorgeously overblown video too )

Even if it were filmed lived, by the time it gets to your screen it's been delayed by time the signal it takes gets from the camera to your screen. So that's not live either. So NEEEER ! 😛

As Chris_b says, I'd not worry about any long-term effects, it's most likely your ears haven't equalised the pressure yet. For me it can take three or four days for things to go back to normal after a bad flight. If it persists, do go to the doctors - the movement of the wax and fluids caused by the pressure changes can trigger an infection (it did me a few years ago). If you find you suffer from this a lot, try taking decongestants for a week or so before flying, it helps me a great deal.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Oh, and hats off to you @Walker, what a great way to start the New Year !

Yep, and folks take them far too seriously. This isn't (G)od sitting down and deciding who's the best, end of story, sit up at the back there and pay attention. It's a list in a magazine, that's all...designed to sell copy or get links shared.

We do NOT want to see any 'double thumbing' videos

Take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Can you hear boogie-woogie ?

Exactly. The dB isn't a measure of audible volume, it's a measure of any signal strength when compared a standard. The unit in question seems to measure the signal strength going through it...and then does a Christmas tree impression to Festivise™ your bass amp

Your bass, on LSD.

Library music...brilliant. When the Internet was a bit moist and still waiting for its topcoat, Mrs. Pook did some multi-media design work for KPM, a big library music library company. We got freebies of dozens of their CDs....anyhow, we both had a fantastic time listening to their output. You could have a whole evening of car chase music or tense stake-out tunes.

..and they really came from Mars.

Have a good gig ! (no envy at all )

That's annoying ! Sounds like there's a short somewhere, causing the battery to discharge through itself (hence the heating). I'd have a look at the clip for the battery and the wiring from there to the active circuit to see if there's anything frayed or loose.

Not to my tastes, but fair play for trying something a bit out there.

I think we should all give your wife a round of applause, what a lovely thing to do.

I feel ya.
