Hellz yes it is. Is somewhat baffling at first, but with a few more listens it really opens up and reveals its secrets. So incredibly complex yet there are some (slighty) melodic moments. Think it's top 5 material. Gonna hear it again before i decide though.

Audiophilia is a sad disease. I wish we had the technology to cure it.

If someone switched all the mp3s on my pc that are above 128kbps and replaced them with 128kbps, I am willing to bet I would never notice.

128 can get pretty bad sometimes. If it's VBR then it sometimes is OK, but I downloaded 160kb/s MP3s from ReR (because they're f**king liars) and it was really noticeably different from the 320 version. Not as noticeable as I thought it would be, but it was still there.

Probably, but on the equipment I use it is hardly noticeable, if at all. However, I can tell the difference between cd and 128 mp3 on the stereo in my living room. Too bad the acoustics suck and I have to sit a couple feet away to hear properly.

Interesting, but I don't feel like listening to that tonight.

Having kids- especially seeing them grow up- makes one realize one must get one's sh*t together.

I am deeply in love with my boy, my girl, and my "first" girl.  Heart

I'm not sure whether or not I thought that was interesting.
 
I finished Ignorance is Bliss, I think House/Cuddy is starting to get annoying.

The patient in Ignorance is Bliss is interesting. I can't imagine that I would make the same choice as him though.

It has some basis in reality. It's not quite as dramatic, but it is interesting that someone who by our tests is one of the most brilliant people to ever live didn't even continue with what he was good at.

Yeah I read that article earlier. I understand why, but I question the method used on House.

I thought this was interesting even though I had never heard of Too Much Joy before--TMJ's $62 5 year iTunes royalty statement from Warner Brothers
 
Kos, that is one of the best links you've ever posted.
