What are you listening to?

[LexEtLibertas]

And here's some genuwine Texicans from Europe to croon to you an authentic old-timey Texian folksy lullaby:

* Carpenter Brut, "Keep It Rolling (by Jean-Philippe Ichard, singer Jean-Luc Ichard)", track 15 from the album Blood Machines, https://web.archive.org/web/20240516050558/https://files.catbox.moe/5tz1nx.mp4 , https://megalodon.jp/2024-0516-1406-24/files.catbox.moe/5tz1nx.mp4 , https://www.freezepage.com/1715835986XXCEKBCMFZ .

That along with some peaty Scottish whisky will put ya to sleep right quickly. Us Texicans are very accomplished in our pedagogical skills, as we ain't never had no problems with them young'uns up here in our environs. We know quite the medicinal to put all that jitterbugging jibber-jabbering to rest right fast and in a hurry. Goes down smooth as mother's milk, and it's good for all that ails you. It'll fix ya up a might nicely.

This here feller knows the score:

The cake is a lie?!

Pish, posh! Tish and tosh, I say!

Pardon my French. I'm sorry the more delicate among you had to hear such vulgarity from me, but unsatisfactory cakes really ruffle my feathers!

Grrr!

There's been too much intensity in this thread. Let's try something calmer:

So relax. Relax already, damnit!

Soylent Green ist Menschenfleisch!

A message via a Jew from Bavaria, the same place as my husband's origin.

"She inspired in me an acute sense of treachery." I should hope so, for your own good.

Don't look back in anger, you're not the only one.

Music for a slaughtering tribe, indeed. A tribe called humankind.

You must have a better sound-system than I do, Clayton. Though I grant to you that there exists a great deal of lower harmonics in the above music you presented. I'm listening with inexpensive yet alright open-air headphones (open-air headphone being the only correct type of headphones, due to their proper impedance matching with our ears; closed-back headphones are used as a compromise for other considerations, such as sound-leakage issues).

Though for those who are interested in the lower frequencies, I will say this: one big woofer beats out lots of smaller woofers, even if the combined total of the surface-area of the speaker-cones of the multiple smaller woofers are greater than the one larger woofer. The reason is because speakers start to distort badly below their natural resonant frequency, and the smaller a speaker cone, the higher that natural resonant frequency will be.

Also, counterintuitively, a speaker enclosure with thin panels will sound better than a sturdy speaker-box, because the woofer's energy has to go somewhere. The sturdier a box, the higher will be its natural resonant frequency. The worst area to have arrant resonants is in the midrange, as human ears are most attuned in that frequency-range. The British Broadcasting Corporation did a number of studies demonstrating this in the 1970s and '80s.

Further, if constructing a rectangular box, always use the Golden Ratio for its dimensions. This simply ensures that the panel resonants and the internal standing waves least overlap, hence least likely to reinforce each other.

And I see that you are apparently fond of keyboard music, Clayton. Some people have said that this is intense when it comes to that:

Also, thank you for sharing your low-frequency music with us, Clayton. I neglected to say that in my prior post, having been self-distracted with audio technicals.

 

[ClaytonB]

That is possibly the most OCD music I have ever seen. Respect due to the sheer magnitude of it...

For fast, technical keyboard work (by humans), I enjoy Hamelin...



More generally, my favorite era is late-romantic/early-modern piano...









Etc.

People mock "Flock of Seagulls" for "I Ran So Far Away".

They forget that they wrote what is possibly one of the best pop rock songs ever recorded.

Here they are over 40 years later crushing it with a full symphony backing them up.

I'll raise you from the east coast, Portland Maine.

I've seen James and his predecessor, Ray Cornils many times at the Merrill Auditorium.

 

[sam1952]

I find this piece to be exceptionally moving.
