    Music The Amazing Emporium of Wondrous Tunes (aka: What are you listening to?)

    This melody has been running in my head all day since I read the latest xkcd comic.

    GAS A new PC

    First, thanks for buying Fractal Design, I have stock in that company! ;) Seriously that chassis looks nice. If you want to have a really quiet HDD, the enterprise ones are a good choice, but you should consider going for one that is bigger (>= 12TB) because they come filled with Helium and...

    GAS A new PC

    About the OS, there is a Swedish site that sells Win10 PRO 64Bit for less then US$8! Of course it is a just a license no media, but they seem to be legit! I bought my Win10 license from there and it is activated , so legit.

    Sounds like sensible build. The only thing I would suggest is getting a bigger HDD, 4TB can fill up pretty fast.

    Saw a picture of a classic Swedish car Volvo Amazon in another thread which triggered me to find this tune and listen to it:

    Let me keep plugging for HDTracks, sign up for their news letter, they have constant sales of different stuff and occasionally a 20% off for all items. eClassical has an interesting way of setting the price for a record, the price is per second! And when you buy a record you can download it in...

    Music Headphones thread

    My ripping program/converter is dBPoweramp, it has real good ripping with the possibility to do something they call "Secure rips", I am not sure if I understand how it works but generally a track that don't rip clean at the first attempt can then be ripped cleanly with Secure Rip. Also has good...

    Music Headphones thread

    I like to buy Flac files instead of physical CD's, so my go to place for Rock and Pop is HDTracks and for classical music it is eClassical. HDTracks can be expensive for higher bitrates and sample size, but for CD quality they are generally less then buying a CD. eClassical is linked to the...

    Music Headphones thread

    There is an invitation to get a free hearing check here on my desk, I really should get my behind of the chair go have it checked. Last time I had an hearing check was when I was doing my military service 40 years ago. I like to have good speakers, headphones and ear-buds so I can appreciate...

    Music Headphones thread

    My main headphones/headset is the Bose Quietcomfort 35 ii, they are Bluetooth connected and noise-cancelling. I use them at home for quality listening at my desktop and when I travel (airplanes, for the noise-cancelling). I can comfortably wear them for some hours, but then I have to take them...

    The Pub now asking for photo-ID.

    So I promised a mug shot of me with the daily paper a few days ago to prove I am actually taking pictures again after the pandemic for another thread. So here is how I look! You can see the lines caused by my reading glasses going back from my eyes. Children actually don't scream and run when...

    Forum time

    I log in once a day, after work, and stay logged in through the evening. Same goes for weekends, only log in in the evening when the days business is over. I then look through the new messages in the threads I follow and sometimes look for new interesting threads, takes an hour or so (because I...

    Music The Amazing Emporium of Wondrous Tunes (aka: What are you listening to?)

    So now for another tune from about the same time, I will start with the Swedish/Finnish cover in Swedish. (or is it Swedish/Finnish?) And then the original.

    Music The Amazing Emporium of Wondrous Tunes (aka: What are you listening to?)

    Sorry, I know it is Eileen, but the association came into my mind so I had to look it up and listen to it. That song is a part of my youth so I can't forget it, still like it. (And I have to admit it was your name that made the association. :oops:) Some day I must try to read the lyrics, I am...

    Please help me out of my misery, what record is that? Blue vinyl, sigh! And a LP! On what looks like a good rig!

    Hearing and seeing a classical composer reacting to this is very interesting, and so the rest of his channel seems to be also.

    Music The Amazing Emporium of Wondrous Tunes (aka: What are you listening to?)

    I did not find a thread to share what I am listening to just now, so I thought I would create one. I have thought of this song for the last 3 weeks and finally listened to it today. It is not entirely appropriate to the situation but the sentiment is right.

    Humor Helpful Info for Mu-43 Migrants

    The one thing I think the films lack is the slow pace in some places, it has been cut out to get the films into a short enough time. I like to read the books and really enjoy the slow pace that there is some times, no adventures, just telling how it was to travel. Your imagination has to work...

    BTW, I need to reread LOTR for the umpteen time again, because I think the movies has now faded enough in my memory for me to enjoy the books again.

    Humor Helpful Info for Mu-43 Migrants

    RAH, RAH, RAH! Anyone talking about Sci-Fi and not mentioning Robert Anson Heinlein is obviously not a real fan!;) Ok, not everyone will agree with me but I think he was a great writer. Yes, it is books and not films, but books are better, they stimulate your fantasy. With films and TV-shows...

    Merry Christmas from our place to yours.

    This is from last year, but the message is still valid! It is taken on the courtyard of our apartment buildings, with the winter/Christmas lightning in place.
