@atpfm tangentially related to the discussion of AirPods Pro as hearing protection, I usually wear my AirPods Max as ear defenders when I'm mowing the lawn. Every time, without fail, my Apple Watch will give me a Loud Environment warning. I really wish the watch could interrogate the phone to discover that I'm wearing AirPods Max in noise-cancelling mode.

@natural20 that last lot of phases was spectacular. Unbelievable attacking, great defending, so few mistakes. That was worth the same as the whole match before it. I’m sure it was a phenomenal match for the neutral.

@opsGordon I’ve been really getting into stuff by Shakmat Modular. Though I’m almost as much into building module kits as I am making sounds these days.

@acf I’m gutted.

@acf just realised I’m kinda supporting both teams!

@opsGordon what softsynths are you using? I still love Zebra by U-he, but I’ve been intrigued by Arturia Pigments

@opsGordon while I’m mostly focussing on my modular gear at the minute, I still love coming back to my PolyBrute. For me, Arturia are the new Korg/Roland/Yamaha. Which is kinda contradictory as Arturia are going back and doing the sort of products that those manufacturers were known for!

@opsGordon that is definitely true. To be fair, nobody needs the subtlety of polyphonic aftertouch when the 80s is screaming KEYTARS!

@acf you are dead to me now.

I understand though. I have family connections in New Zealand too 🙂

@opsGordon is it a workstation? I’d really love to see Roland/Korg/Yamaha come out with a new flagship synth. I feel like they’ve conceded the Jupiter/DX7/DW sector to the competition.

@acf I definitely have the separately available copy of Still. Not actually sure if I have the Live album on CD, but I definitely have the DVD version. I'm basing this on my discogs collection, but CDs were scanned in by my daughter and I think she missed some!

I have the Fragiile Deviations record (though I don't recall paying that much for it). I’m still waiting for The Slip and Year Zero reissues; been Coming Soon for quite some time!

@acf that’s a great collection. Further Down The Spiral is a great release too. I remember realising that The Art of Self Destruction was used in the Chain Gang Levis ad.

I see And All That Could Have Been. Is that the live album or the Still CD? I don’t think my copy of either looks like that.

@acf Pretty Hate Machine is phenomenal. I return to it a lot more frequently than The Downward Spiral.

@lisamelton I love you very much Lisa. 😘

On the web it is being “fireballed”. On Mastodon it is being “Melt(on)ed”. Always a pleasure @lisamelton!!

@joshua dammit. Why you have to remind me that I need to do my taxes!

Being a kid means not wanting to go to bed because you don’t want the current day to end.

Being an adult means not wanting to go to bed because you don’t want the next day to start.

@acf I can understand that. For the first half an hour I was so frustrated that Ireland were leading despite having very little possession. They might as well have started the half with a head start for all they played.

@acf it was frustrating as hell to have to work against our cousins tonight. Even while I was cheering the Irish tries, my biggest cheers were for the Scottish efforts. My daughter couldn’t understand why I would cheer the opposition, but that’s rugby for you. Your team is always first, but the game is always a very close second!
