Just noticed that in another thread, an older one that was started before the board updates. Need to look into that.

We had an issue that started on Thursday night and progressed to a crash last night, I'm not sure we permanently fixed it, but we'll know in a day or two. If there is still a problem we now know what to look out for.

Of course this happened over a weekend where I wasn't home much so I didn't know about the problem that was brewing until after the crash.

There are some who call me.....Tim?

We're having some issues, working on it. Service will be sporadic for the next day, hopefully we'll have them fixed by Tuesday.

I searched this thread assuming someone had posted this. I'm still only scratching the surface of this band's output but this song is my favorite so far, especially this version.

What have you heard so far?

Just a handful of songs, I barely have time to listen to music these days. What's impressive is the amount of detail their songs, both musically and lyrically -- QOTMS was released six years ago when they were aged 18, 16 and 13, and there's some serious song craft going on there. Of the songs I've heard so far, Ugh is the best example of that. The Error album is right there too, especially lyrically.

The best version of Ugh? Well, that's what Dany and a lot of fans think. Plus, seriously, why would you want to argue with such a sweetheart like Dany? What are you? Some kind of vile, miserable monster? 😄

KEITH EMERSON AND GEDDY LEE COLAB?????!!!!/jjj

 

How is this album related I’m sorry I have no idea how this website works

Hi, welcome to the board! This section is fine, it's for album talk and general Rush content. (EDIT: I just changed this forum's description to reflect that.)

As for that graphic you posted, I don't see the connection to Keith Emerson or Geddy or an album, or anything of Rush significance. Did you make that or did you find it somewhere?

New Balance are the best made sneakers/running shoes out there, and I wore them for years, but their designs in the past couple of years seem a little loud for my taste. I've switched to Brooks.

Brooks for serious treadmill and trail work. I've been talking to @That One Guy about getting a nice used C7 in the spring, so I'll be picking up a pair of simple, white, New Balance.

Usually New Balance but I have a pair each of Nike and Puma.

Porcupine Tree

Mastodon

Opeth

Gojira

The gap on Gojira is there because I've heard only a couple of songs from them.

Christmas Vacation

A Christmas Story

Elf

Die Hard (yes it is!)

Home Alone

Planes Trains and Automobiles (Ok thats Thanksgiving but a must)

Good list, I'll add the original animated The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

Planes Trains and Automobiles feels more like a Christmas movie, so it belongs here.

The Hallmark Channel!!!!!

For me personally the 1-2-3 would be -

 

1. Close To The Edge

2. Suppers Ready

3. Starless

Same, but 1 and 2 are really close.

When I told my wife he looked a lot like Roger Moore and had a 'nicely done' catch-phrase, she was a bit confused. She'll come around. 

He looked like  Roger Moore with Jay Leno's chin.

A classic game show host with a classic game show host name. Charles Woolery was his birth name so he was born to do it.

Just noticed there were two threads. Nobody gets two birthday threads, not even a dashing young urbanite like Rick. Threads merged.

I think one was the 2023 edition.

 

Dashing?  No.  Young?  Sadly, no.  Urbanite?  You're talking about someone who would move to the White Mountains if I could get the votes around here. 

Shiiiit, you're right. Don't think I've ever seen someone bump an old birthday thread. I'll separate them appropriately.

Going to take this one song at a time as I get breaks throughout the next few days.

 

Keep in mind I have my computer going into my home theater system.

 

Darkest at Daybreak - A solid song all the way through. The guitar parts are killer. All of them. However, I feel like they're getting lost in the mix, especially during the vocal parts. The guitar tone is nicely saturated but it's bite is being subdued.

 

I also felt there was too much delay on the opening vocal -- I couldn't understand what he was singing until the third time hearing it, even though it was the title of the song.

 

Overall I'm hearing the vocals, ride cymbal and the bass drum and not enough of everything else. This is a very good song with some of Fridge's best guitar work, and my only complaint is with the mix.

I still really struggle to get mixes to sound great in multiple listening environments.  I think these mixes are optimized for headphones.

 

This is probably influenced by the fact that a vast majority of my recording & mixing time is before 6AM.  :P 

When listening to stereo music on my home system it's set up for left and right channels with a little subwoofer mixed in for a little more punch. Before I give the next song a listen I'll listen to Daybreak on my headphones.

Hmmmm....why is the guy playing a bunch of stuff from LVS when the Sportscaster wasn't even used on that album as it didn't exist then?

Right, he should have been playing stuff from Grace Under Pressure or Power Windows.

Happy birthday Rick!
