The Links Lounge (*** NO POLITICS/RELIGION/LIV ***)

[chisag]

... OK, I am little annoyed with my fellow Lounge amigos for all this music talk. You are costing me a small fortune! 🤬 I have been listening to more music and realize I can no longer stand my Emotive XPA-5 channel Amp. Living in Phoenix I needed a cool running 5 channel amp and since it was mostly used for film/TV I went with the Emotiva. It does a credible job with film but not so much with music as it is a bit analytical and cold sounding. At higher levels I would even say harsh sounding.

... So I am buying a new Class D 5 M3a-2000-5 Five Channel D-Sonic Amplifier. I was considering the Legacy i-V5 but at $7,000 compared to $2775 I am not willing to pay more than twice as much for a small improvement in sound. After talking with the owner at D-Sonic I feel pretty confident it is exactly what I am looking for. Not gonna match my 2 Ayre V3's that were $3200 each for pure sound but they ran extremely hot and while they are great winter amps in Chicago, the last thing I need in Phoenix are 2 space heaters running 24/7. 

... For those interested here is my new amp:

No apologies necessar, I told you I’m boring, I’m lucky I have the head cover and not just a letter, I should be ready to change in 4 or 5 years!

Tonight the original tip froster is heading to Western MT to rock the amphitheater rated top 50 in the world on the banks of the Blackfoot River near the birthplace of Norman McLean the writer of "A River Runs Through It."  It'll be a Rebel Yell for those Eyes Without a Face.  I won't be there I will be in the Cradle of Love Dancing by Myself.  I suspect Touch will be doing the same and touching up the 'do because he does love Billy.

Man you should have told me a few months ago about the concert and I would have flown up and we could have attended the gig together. It would have been perfect because you love live concerts and I am indeed a Billy fan. I last time I saw him was in 2003 at the pool at The Mandalay Bay Casino in Vegas. 

Being that your old hockey player a** has a bit less up top than I do these days I probably would have been the only one that scored after the show with a horny lassie that was looking for a one night stand that featured a flesh filled fantasy with a dude that somewhat resembled the British rocker. I for sure would have had that Big Sky gal all comfy in a cradle of love while she was lost in passion yelling for MORE MORE MORE !  

 

There's a change in pace
Of my fantasy today
Do you like good music?
Yes, I wanna dance
Oh, yeah

Hanging out for a body shot at night
Ain't it strange what they do to feel all right?
Oh, yeah
So, if you should call, I am experienced
Whoa-whoa, yeah, aw!

Face to face and back to back
You see and feel my sex attack
Wanna sing it, yeah

Flesh, flesh for fantasy
We cry
Flesh, flesh for fantasy

I’ve been seeing this around town for a couple months now. Two ppl on a goofy little bike/scooter following some kinda self driving vehicle. The self driving taxi service in SF called ‘CRUISE’ has been nothing but problem after problem.

Hahah Hoss worked a tour with Motorhead years back and Matt was sitting in on drums for various reasons. Lots to the story but the gist is ... Matt's one of the chillest, easiest to work with rockstars ever.

That may be the iCar, brought you by Apple, only problem is you only go as fast as 1 guy can pedal and the proficiency of how well and fast the other guy can use an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods.

Ha! When that car does come out it’s gonna be an absolute Tesla killer I’d bet. Gonna be some iRobot lookin’ ish! I mean their HQ is a frikin’ space ship! Haha

I think this more likely some Boost mobile or Metros PCS foray into the autonomous vehicle world! 😂

This just in.  Boost Mobile's autonomous concept spotted.  Channeling Riv for headlight design.

 

 

If this is going to be Apple's self driving whip, hard pass.  I'm not going to be sequestered in no pod.  

 

 

And speak of the devil.  A Riv was across from me in the grandson's school pickup lot yesterday.  Was getting a strange vibe that it was watching me.  Swear I saw the "weird headlights" move.
