fuuuuuuuck

I did not see this coming, and it's a hilarious unique problem.

I guess in my system I have more than I was thinking. Zu, Wireworld, Sutherland, Mofi.
And now Trump is talking about 25% tariffs on the EU. That's Rosso, Mastersound, Cambridge.

What a time to be alive.

 

[Joe Mac]

Italking about 25% tariffs on the EU.

Don’t mention the war. This has potentially dire economic consequences for Ireland.

oh, believe me, it'll hurt all of us.

Have a look at your trade deficit with us and our corporate tax percentage take from in particular Microsoft but also Apple and US Pharma manufacturing here. It’ll hurt you. It will fuck us.

I will 100% take your word for it. Sorry, Joe. I hate this fucker as much as you.

I mean it is a bit our chickens coming home to roost but we’ve leveraged a highly educated population, low corporation tax and the diaspora to have an economy based massively on US multinationals. If these tariffs cause them to leave it’s a seismic shock to our economy.

The hope is that they are so deeply embedded in their operations here that they see it out, but who knows!

Sorry, I shouldn't have opened the political topic.

Just steer us back to normal things - I feel like I'm the only person in the world that doesn't instantly love the Hana ML. I'm trying to ride out the breakin period, and play with settings, but it feels a little sterile to me so far and is only rewording on the absolute best pressings and recordings.

 

[Ghost]

Very very excited to hear what people think of these when they start shipping. I'd be tempted to try them in a few years! Very very cool look.

I got a feeling you have at least 3 copies that smoke it...

Actually, all I have of Aja is two colored vinyl copies, one red - Canadian - and yellow from I can’t remember and neither sound very good.

This is acceptable.

Guess I put my foot in my mouth with that self own. Good one. @Mather for the win.

No no I respect you even MORE because you DON'T have a "good" copy of this album.

But also trick question, good copies of this album don't exist, they're all objectively terrible.

I don’t own, nor have ever owned, any Steely Dan on any format. I have never understood their appeal.

[Nee Lewman]

My journey with Steely Dan has been interesting. I came to Aja because De La. I liked it but never really felt a reason to follow up. I liked what I heard over the years. Then the stupid generator thread gave us the debut record and I found myself coming back to it. Then I listened to the whole discography and then I started buying the damn things and now I love them.

The appeal for me they are funny and their music is smooth and well constructed; that can be a bit contradictory to the lyrical content, which in turn makes it even more interesting.
