picky Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 On our shopping forray with the boys today, we stopped at Best Buy and asked their audio department to please recommend to us their BEST stereo headphones and a CD for us to audtion them with that would really push the headphones to their limits. Hence: Hello Kitty headphones and DEADMAU5... - Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Here in our office, Doc is busy trying to solder the CMOS battery of my laptop back onto the circuit board. For no apparent, the CMOS battery mount's solder joints suddenly decided to let go. One new soldering iron and some 22 gauge hookup wire from Radio Shack and Mission Accomplished! Thanks, Doc! -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted September 29, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 29, 2012 You guys just have to much time on your hands, did they really recommend those pink headphones ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 There were some mileage signs outside the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on the Detroit River. I think Hurd got a little homesick when he saw this one: Thunder Bay 604 MI. LOL -Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 In case someone was wondering who the winner of the aforementioned battle between cat and mouse was, the winner and still champ is....... deadmau5 for the win!!!!

Audible Nectar Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Picky's into deadmau5? I thought I was a bit out of the box by being a middle aged guy who enjoyed the electronica......although I must admit I don't listen as much at home - but I do enjoy it in the live setting. Two years of Electric Forest Festival can do that to a guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Yes, there's NOTHING like listing to some very loud, Dub Step from deadmau5 or Skrillex at 3 am in the morning. It can lead to some possibly, regrettable behavior... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 LOL No, Best Buy really didn't recommend anything to us. We simply went there to buy some Dub Step CD's for Doc and to get an Adele DVD. When we walked through BB's winding, check-out line, we spotted the Hello Kitty headphones on the shelf along with the other last-minute, marketing push items and decided the pair them up with some hard core Dub Step for the photo. I actually became aware of deadmau5 (Deadmouse) on my own a little over a year ago and knew that I liked some of his work. But Doc wanted to introduce me to Dub Step so he bought the deadmau5 and Skrillex so we could see how my Reference system performed with it. The results were pretty amazing as my room easily goes down to 13 Hz. I may pick up these CDs in the near future. I like some of the cuts on them. There are a few that; not so much. This morning, Verna asked me, "After you guys finished watching the Peter Gabriel concert last night around 3 am, what on EARTH was that crap you guys were playing?? It was SO repetitive!" Doc, Hurd and I got a huge laugh out of that! LOL. Great times with my bros! We were sorry to see them leave for Canada this morning. I want to thank them for a great weekend together. It's been a blast! Thanks for coming out you guys! Have a safe trip! -Glenn Left to right below: Michael Hurd, Picky, Dr. Who: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 BTW: The Dead Mouse you see caught in the trap on the notebook monitor above is real: Doc had the little rascal running around his house the other day and he and Hurd set a trap and got it. Natrually, being the fellow deviate that he is, Hurd thought it would a great idea to shoot some closeups of it. "Gross", you say? Trust me: We spared showing you the gross ones!

Moderators dtel Posted October 1, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 1, 2012 OK not knowing anything about this kind of music I listened to more than half of that CD. [] I know Doc and Michael are a little to young to have been in many of those clubs back then but................................I will go out and just say it.......it sounds like DISCO, industrial strength but still disco. Listening to it, all I kept thinking was disco, the beat and rhythm is right, thought I was having flashbacks. [:S] I did like it, how could you not like a strong beat like that, it but I can see where Mrs Verna got the repetitiveness thought, she is right after a few songs they kind of blend together. Still beats the smell out of rap any day. [] In my old opinion. [:$] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I never thought much of rap, until I recently started listening to this duo from South Africa. They've become very popular in the last couple of years.

They are not so good live but their videos are crazzed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I first learned of them just a few months ago. I laughed when one reviewer described Yo-Landi as "a space elf from the future". They are a lot of fun, and they're so over the top because they're pulling our legs a bit. Have you seen their latest, XPEN$IVE $H1T? The current video for it shows just the lyrics, but it's a great sing-along number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 industrial strength but still disco. Haha, throw in the Skrillex and it's like industrial strength schizophrenic disco [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
