2012-02-10

are traffic oh my god that's my life yeah and to complement our cube is sphere himself I am the gut man you're gonna geometry on today's show scream is padded you could like bang your head against the wall it's an asylum that's what it does scream would I hear it outside yes they will actually this is not one of those sound proofing is actually if we do happen to bang our heads against the wall we're protected yeah we can't sue CBS that's why it's here thanks for coming in man it's been a been a little bit right since before just before I see ya how about that you running for president again anytime soon uh 20 16 2016 alright well you can get in the slate of people go clear out this time yeah let's let the chips fall where they may oh you know it's pretty crazy it is pretty crazy right now i think you mean between rival and yeah i think you got a better chance than Romney or Santorum over here man sounds good to me over the town i would definitely sphere 26 is the regular man candidate were you really i can ever lay my pitch so you're independent yeah i redshirted that you ran an independent party or yours and i have people i had one delegate its democratic convention oh no way oh don't be like symbolically all change their vote at the very end like do whatever they want Oh pound I think that for the first vote which hasn't happened in ages they have to stay with their assigned mmm things but if for some reason was close then it's a free-for-all oh wow I didn't know that but it you know that hasn't happened in like 50 years all right did you have a slogan for your campaign was it like that the volume is too damn high detective years I was the regular guy was there to represent like the average Joe yeah the average every man de proletariat the sphere you're the original ones around so I was you were i was actually a registered communist oh really anyone I'm documenting all I mean not only that but I am NOT surprised John McCrae a girlfriend and you and what that turned you into a commie honesty was it was Russian she was a guy how did this happen because she had you know weird I'll pet parents and stuff yeah oky hands but that a neighbor communist and somehow this resulted in you becoming a con you know I don't guys do what they ought yeah we all got it oh you gotta do what you guys he's it it for other reasons hungry hungry can't blame but here later on tonight much you know ten years later I had this girlfriend who was also a different girlfriend it was a communist yeah and she was a junior high school teacher yeah and she was indoctrinating her students no oh you did it to separate communist yeah so r years was that because you are already exchanged you and look they don't shave yeah anything oh hello what are you what are we talking about okay all right this is we i mean three gato we I don't know what happened three minutes into the show I did not expect us to be where we currently are gonna lie where did you switch parties kid eight different people is that pretty much he's a flip-flopper that's what you are she had a beard look I'm good communist your damn flip-flopper alright Steve you wanted to talk about watches cuz you talk about why Jesus I heard you talking about watches and I was shocked didn't you guys yeah don't worry we're watches and I'm think but I don't wear a watch i mean i never wore watch because I well I almost never did cuz I you used to use a pocket watch right because you hated it haven't having it on my wrist right I'm the same way I just don't like having something on my wrist I don't wear rings I'm wet I'm Mariana but wedding ring no I wanna be incumbent on any accessories at all put you got glasses on readiness I know I don't think that's my choice yeah what about the context I used to I told you but not even worse used to make contact what in your laboratory then I'm a contact I what I am I was a contact lens technician I used to crime okay okay not in like your basement this is a this is a profession would he get what you may be back should cry to manufacture I handmade because in those days you made them by hand hit well and they were gonna leave Polly with a glass and they were actually glad I asked no they were realistic I'm so blown away something every time he's on the show why is K so it goes from me like I guess the reason I'm like even the finger myself is even remotely plausible yeah I can be made of glass is that like you go from my communist do like you and then you make it contact right you're a projection is ran for president yeah your life is a lot of interesting this is why we have Steve on yeah because he's an amazing wealth of just random nonsense but it doesn't look for this incredibly bizarre man yeah who had this thing in the 60s of me inventing contact lenses that change the color of your eyes okay other people had been thats nice but he was like one of the first people to do that to do that and he you know we had to make plastic and grind it into these things sure it was really amazing it sounds amazing i thought like machines did that like or now they be the guy that presses the button or what no no I was grinding their finding them in polishing yeah duh laughter ringing off try you so these guys talking about watches and the reason is because yes it gotta be you always hoggin I try to it's Friday sidetrack Guttenberg you mix when you have a little bit of friday and you sprinkle Steve in it it's all good my mind laughs someone needs to make a graph of our conversation all the changes yet it it's great so we're talking about how on you know a lot I would shock that you guys are you right just because as soon as I could I you know I use my well you don't wear watches now but would you if it could do more than tell time like we were talking about smartwatches yesterday tracking your biometrics and um you know I don't know your heart is knee tracking I don't know you have good night your metrics don't need track well see what the government tracking years that would yeah I don't really want me to I turn off my phone a lot of the time here you do huh you know not sure I'm on board with that what do you have to hide I don't I mean not to not to follow not to relate you to my father sweet Lou but he's got this thing where he turns his phone on my mom to me hmm that defeats the purpose of having a phone i think right people trying to get in touch with you unless you just want to want to be touched i understand that but you realize if it's an emergency yeah my mom we can wait going on but they'd have it outside of her room where she right which doesn't make sense either because you can't hear it anyway yeah I I I do that you know it in one of the seasons of mad men I'm goes to California yeah and when he's in California they didn't have cellphones and people just didn't call each other that much they were in New York he's in calif way they don't and but nothing got done I mean nothing gets done now but at least we don't have an excuse now all work was done in pay phones exactly I like that idea that he's there and they're here and you just completely add a touch like yoga you know i'll let you know how it's going when he feels like right for emergencies great yeah ever see someone who's leading a pay phone yeah these days yeah you ever just like what a great thing wonder what's going on yeah wonder what happened yeah maybe they're uh no i mean they they none of them look like reputable you know like when you what will see doing good yeah it just like girl what are you doing sir what do you need to pay phone well i can't imagine you like every like if you run a life-and-death situation i can't imagine you ever picking up a phone just cuz like you're so terms yeah like they're drunk well no life and death and probably pick it up I don't really ask to borrow somebody else's before you has anyone ever come to you and ask you use your mobile phone yes never now look you don't have a bad thing I'll just incredibly I just run the risk of someone grabbing in a ring on you know like you get a position where you like our time I'm gonna see if I could have to take off right I will trip you if you try to run away it's something that and Steve's like I lend it out all the time I never have but I always wondered if someone asked me if I would do it now you're telling me that's enough smart thing to do well it's just a very personal item that is very portable you know was in distress and like hey I need to account I'm sorry but you stand over there let me make the call for you do you have to call i will try will be the do you know the middleman my phones being so expensive these days it's not like a you know 50 dolla burner phone yeah it's not asking for you know a cigarette there's actually brings up something I was gonna win veil okay this is a show of unveiling ooh exciting yeah so I may be ready it may be ready for for an iphone no Steve the gut man with an iphone ask a little pressure partially because of the reviewing and stuff that if I had a phone that some things need apps right now now you know that once the iphone gets turned on you can't turn it off there's no way to turn it off so if you're into that whole feature you might not have anything I think you now forgive me and we bring this up every now and then we know your eyesight isn't the price I'm concerned about I'm concerned about that too how are you gonna come with a damn thing no I don't make it too small screen it's a one-year Taylor I uh is it a bigger right they can make the yeah there's a big high contrast mode and some accessory let's watch Steve look how close you are to make these things smaller I mean I can't even eager no there should be here's a holiday this accessibility more you can zoom into icons and stuff this is really good for blind people like there's a little tete it'll tell you what your tapping on okay like a voiceover fine that's very nice I know OSX does that I think that I didn't okay you should I think you'll be all right you might only be able to fit you know two apps on a screen that's how many apps do I need if as many as your little heart desires sir there's a bunch of music at a nap you're not you can I do that thing that does like um real-time analysis of like you know what are they closer an RTA aren't you like a thing of like it displays the frequency researcher right the manual I think that's all you need noise pressure low you know there are apps like they're all right yeah you'll you'll dig that oh I'll be this I'm excited the milk synthesizer that I'd blogged about a couple right I like making music uh-huh his garage band for the iphone I'm sorry if you want to write a song to be addicted so when's the big day at cuz I cannot wait to see this think well you're a headphone editor would you be using the iphone as a music player because I think it sounds pretty good that sounds as good as my ipod class mm-hmm that's yet to be deterred I've seen comments where they use a slightly lower low quality DAC right like a digital analog converter but um I mean it did unless you're I feel like unless you're running what white noise and you've got like a spectrum analyzer going comparing the frequency responses like it you you couldn't tell I'm about to find we're all gonna find out yeah yeah speaking of headphones though you sent us an email with a couple headphones that you wanted to talk yeah the noise I I'm gonna be an investigative reporter hmm we've seen it oh really honey don't worry what are you investigating I'm like I was gonna say I'm a cub reporter I'm less the outside of a cub I'm a gumshoe you're a gumshoe yeah because I'm going to compare the most famous noise cancelling headphone the bows yeah to a bunch of in ear headphones okay so here's the bose we have am on screen right now these are the quietcomfort 15 s right um these are the ones that you see everybody wearing on the airplane and they're actually they're active they're having battery power and then take out the middle battery known sound okay alright so David chronometers yeah and I went on the subway yesterday and I want on buses yesterday and compared that just the noise can't I wasn't listening to music on right compared to three different in ear headphones that Justin's going to show you but a West tone okay yes five which is a custom molded in ear he's always on the orange one okay and those aren't okay and then the one in the center or these these are velodyne sort of universal fit one okay and then the one on the left is the etymotic in here now the etymotic has a really big deep flange you have to stick it in your ear really bad those like they go pretty deep dled not super comfortable I say it looks like it's up against your ear drum like that's what yeah yeah you're pretty far in there for it but they still look a little too in truth they're most comfortable have yeah I you can buy d like when I really if I ripped it out too quick something else would go my brain but anyway they did the the aura tone yeah I'm sorry the etymotic on the on the left yeah and the West tone on the right word had pretty much equal noise isolating ability as the bows okay and they don't have batteries and they also sound a lot better right so that's sort of what this piece is going to be about alright cool I'm excited to read that so yeah it's interesting though is that listening to these headphones in a quiet room hmm they sound completely different than they do on the subway or bus or out in the world what do you mean by that because there's so much noise out there even noise canceling or noise isolate there's a lot of noise it gets through anyway sure so that noise is masking certain parts of the music because it's louder than so are you saying like should you use noise cancelling in a quiet you know room which you turn yeah you definitely turn it off okay we were talking about this before the show and I think the most crucial thing for noise cancellation isn't I mean the biggest difference between the earbuds in the over years obviously is like the seal right and that's why with the custom here but you have a perfect seal kiss bowl to your ears but you could also achieve a really good fit with a proper seal on a headphone it's just a matter of finding the right size and the type of flan it's our best read stuff i struggle with like these ear tips right here on the left hand side the conical shaped ones those are a little bit uncomfortable right I prefer the foam ones because you could squeeze them put them in your ear and then it'll expand to shake your eardrum exactly it's just a matter of like playing around what's with the sizes right Ariel so but anyway so what I learned is is that the Bose is what it's cracked up to be it really does noise cancelling although I that term kind of bugs me because it's like canceling noise it's reducing right noise reduction cancelling applies if the noise is completely gone right right was canceled its misinformation and it comes with sacrifice and all yes yes doesn't and and the pose was definitely not as good sounding right is the is the animatic we have mentioned this before was anybody like spotting you while you're walking around the street like these noise-cancelling headphones I'm gonna get jumped well no I mean like a which is I might hear the box that's coming yeah like or the car that's about to hit you there anything it's dangerous I survived he did this to fight another day that really has an issue like they've been numerous articles written especially living in New York City walking around the street with noise canceling headphones in that seat is it is kind of freaky I'm walking around was mostly on Manhattan is the has the most pedestrian vehicle accidents in the in the country and where did that pedestrian bicycle accident I'm sure he's all gotta be there really afraid of getting hit by by cuz there's one know why cuz you know you're not gonna die in there you're just gonna get really hurt he's just gonna not gonna hear it yeah yeah and when I look in their direction they think I can see them but I can't well some of them right because and you know well some of them are big a holes because they go again like the wrong way with traffic you know like I have one guy coming I'm looking down till the food delivery and happens mostly one-way streets right so I'm looking down the way cars are supposed to going up there's not a car coming and I step on and then one of these a-holes comes out from the wrong way yells at you and he's like what you I'm like you know drive down a sewer share when you're five years old I'm sure somebody told you to look both ways not just into the way that traffic rides right oh no you're right yeah I even look both ways getting back to him he's wrong and I'm right enough for the cyclist hey oh it's like this I people get killed by cars every single day zero a lot alright so with the noise cancelling stuff I feel like if you're walking around maybe the bows over yours will be better cuz those only cancel out the lower frequencies right like you got you'll hear people talking to you are you can hear but no it's pretty pretty isolated no I wouldn't be walking around man yeah I I walk around with my custom here abouts do I have the ue 18s from ultimate ears I can't hear anything oh I just take one out if I'm walking around oh how could you do that to yourself yeah that's so awkward listening to music in one year I hate that I don't want to get creamed I understand but it's worth it sir please make a stereo like single your buds though that you can we watch never play around with yeah what is the purpose of that because they're you want oh I don't know that it's scary well it takes or two channels and puts it in 20 years no no yeah get some I am Otto and welcoming years though yeah what is the application of that I think it's for musicians okay um what else do you got in your little chicken scratch oh you know they were what's his name greg did a post on Sandoval yeah okay about the Paul McCartney pulling his music off Spotify yeah lot of bands are doing this actually yeah cuz they're getting a couple cents like every 10 couple cents like fractions productions of days that's sounds play so so we have to say about Paul so well he just said the pole was doing it and you know but I'm just amazed that people get so bent out of shape about this yeah like how dare he you know I have a right to her to hear anybody's music on Spotify right or something it's like well it's his music doesn't really want to participate yeah you know you don't have a right to it of course yeah but it just brings this out in people that you know I don't know maybe it's cuz like we we ourselves or content creators like I don't see anything wrong with that but like I do hear that from people who don't make right means media yeah well it's being promoted that we're excuses it's more I might buy it right but you know somebody gave me a great line a couple of months ago they said buying music paying for music is a purely voluntary act it is and most people like eighty or ninety percent of people don't I I don't know how can you say this baby's day but we don't know that for sure I know have you guys on recording saying that you guys don't buying you right I've rented okay you rented a room the internet tomorrow tomorrow I'm gonna give it that understanding it and alone ya know I think a lot of to look at itunes man I dude skills it what is no recorded way to tell who's downloading there's no looking no way to know there's no way to know so we got to think the best and give humanity the benefit of the doubt wow look at Jesse the saying that i know people I I know out of my friends I would say the majority of my friends dubai music they do you are so full why would I make that up what do I have to gain by making that I believe yeah yeah you're respectful friend but on the other hand Paul was premiering his new record last night yeah he did a live concert at Capitol Records in LA yeah it's he's got to give it up you think he's dead ya can't sing yeah really you don't think he could see no he can't say I didn't he had a new record but like 23 years ago right like that was it was different the different he doesn't even write the tune yeah these are all Americans classic style he's at that age where he's just like we doing out of ideas he's kind of he's she noted you to the John Lennon song book before he ran out it was Ringo song written up obviously Paul's from your generation yes right you're younger than him right young so you asked us earlier I think of an artist that would maybe try to call this kind of crap when we turn your age yes arf arf arf are in a few well yeah I'd say you're about twice our age wise give or take yeah uh yeah I don't know wouldn't I be Justin Bieber new come on she's not gonna be around much longer what's that she was like everybody is hating Lana Del Rey I wanted to bring this up you Steve so Lana Del Rey is a singer-songwriter she was on SNL and got reamed for it right afterward because apparently her performance wasn't very wise idea but I think she's okay yeah okay so which she got reamed because of her bed perform is it one of those were saying that she's won it was one of the worst performances it wasn't lip synced it was just very dry and unexcited well does her music suck or how the music on that it's kind of got like a 20 like Kate Bush is like oh my god you know also ragan are just because like she's changed her sound she went for like a kind of a poppy thing into like a raspy you know more sultry kind of a sound and then she's like manufactured and like that but that's the point for all right right oh yeah I mean yeah like when Lady Gaga whips out like a virgin mobile phone that right because she's like oh I love this oh because she pay two million dollars to do no yeah I mean yeah and don't forget that lana del right i think is the least of SNL's music issues right I move what other what is what is actually this talk about being old it's not the show's not very good oh they had like kesha perform on SNL and I just Anders very nice another picking on her yeah exactly that's what I'm saying music popular music today is just god-awful and you're pointing a girl you pointed the finger eyes this person we don't need to play with Matt but anyway but pick people that you like yeah I'm trying to fool who would be in Paul's patient no nothing will be impossible what doing what you think no no not even that that you would be listening to their music over the over the coming decades yeah if these people would continue to be you know making music that you would care about in 10 years in 20 years and 30 years and four years that's cool among the people you listen to could you imagine I don't know you're not like grunge doesn't really work would you keep your 92 yeah I'm just saying like water that kind of uh is 20 years old doesn't work necessarily when you're like 60 so I don't know about that cuz Steve looking pretty heavy stuff man but someone you may forming the same thing what sleeveless is the pretty heavy stuff still he's still very much into that every also feel like a lot of music now has a throwback vibe and they're trying to replicate bands that they were inspired from whereas with Paul McCartney he was a original creator yeah so maybe that's why they don't have the legs I don't know Steve I mean I don't like i said i don't think music like from these pop artists will withstand the test of time I don't think anyone's gonna be listening to justin bieber in 20 years and being like off remember the good old days yeah something is gonna happen seriously I gotta take something that there's some people like loudon wainwright he's a folk singer yeah I've been listening to him since the 70s yeah and he really his songs are very personal mm-hmm and it's like we're aging together it's like we're on this parallel path so as he brings out her new record and he's talking about new things in his life it's really kind of it's a nice thing to have listened to someone that long yeah that's pretty cool you know they're relevant that's cool what I think is pretty telling is a you know like there's there's sixties radio stations there's seven these radio stations there's a tease uses those nineties radio stations nothing in two thousand you would never ever see like a 02 thousands radio station like the nineties radio stations popped up literally when the millennium change yeah but I don't think that'll ever happen they just like I musics that mare interesting it's an interesting uh observation I mean could like you look in itunes you don't ever see like a 2000 watts yeah and we know how you love that and there's no all there's no lighting is the player glasses from the 70s 80s 90s and you know everything that came at the situation yeah right you know us 2012 now like the music is I was a music definitely has changed pop music anyways it's still changed from you know night 2009 22 2012 so like there's definitely a vibe change with a music but it's still not good is more fragmented it gets me and more is less of like a thing that's happening at a given time and a lot of different things absolutely none of them were big enough except for Dell to gain any momentum I agree i'm saying a delay is a good example I'm sorry Adele the word that don't mean this I always just mispronounced it Steve literally just said yeah right yeah sorry but it's okay at least you didn't say grunge again that's you know Adele is very good did she uh she just got like surgery on her throat too yeah really yeah i think some singers have like new voice module issues and stuff like that she happens to be very good corn corn no not one yeah Charles not popular now no no because it's never like never was I don't know why the Chairman's beast man i'm actually getting kind of depressed right now I remember after when Michael Jackson died I was talking my mom about her history with him and she was saying that they grew up together it was really nice to see him progress from yeah being enjoyed by two solo stuff there around the same age um I can't think of an artist that I grew up with like that you know the Berlin oh my god think of one yeah this is gonna sense to I mean like sting with you know I grew up listening some of the police yeah then he did his own thing and then he's like back with them now that's a terrible that's if that's the best I've got sting but I do I mean the police is awesome these are awesome i love you guys heard that band the magnetic field yeah like so magnetic fields is going out with another album right now and that's a band that i grew up with low middle school high school I just don't know if they're gonna be lasting long enough to I think he will Steve merit right right i thank you for stephen malkmus um with payment okay that's a possibility sonic use for advance cuz bands come freaking sure sure individual artists look at ok a lil camper like red hot chili peppers yeah been for 30 years now you know they've been doing it that's an exception you know like there except you know bands like even uh even bad religion's 30 years old now right they really key ways up Sonic Youth broke up on a Keith problem shows that REM is done never was never big fan REM uh yeah like just said green day green day's been a band there for well over 20 okay so maybe some of those guys well I think Green Day has daddy for your I think they're slowly becoming like a sort of situation right you know like the who their Broadway show they're sort of like rock opera sort of thing I think that's what they're for where they're falling in yeah so that's a few yeah Pearl Jam's an obe in a band for a while now don't hate that they so i don't really like Pearl Jam I'll be the first I like like three songs are there not a big Pearl Jam fan yeah you know what about you you know I protein yeah you don't think the kid 20 you think the garden sing that's like that's ultimately question do you like them I don't like his warning yeah any better just doesn't I don't really do it for me uh no chairman brings up a good point a lot of hip hop artists are also reinventing themselves like jay-z I grew up with common they say in the chat how long as jay-z been doing it been around since like the early nineties okay retired like four times and come out all right album he's been progressing so that's someone I found he vigil members of wu-tang have their own albums now are going back to jay-z like he has adjusted it sound like every time he comes out yeah actually you know the I hope he forgot about this Madonna still around i'm still the kana two point oh right like six point own it done what the hell's going on with her with their new stuff but anyway musician I mean you see an artist was just a celebrity I think she's just sticker there she's just there and we have to love it or hate it she's just there at the rocky mountain yeah I'm not we're not gonna take a break today cuz we only have a little thing let's get into austin calls from the public time to show the love 86 404 cnet found out the hard way that we could probably talk about music for 14 hours that's not gonna do that though instead we got a call for Steve let's look this is we're gonna laugh a little at this hey guys what's up this is a Des Moines from Shannon set a quick question for the gut man since you're going to be on today I'm in Tahoe and then you guys hear any ideas i'm looking for a pretty hard to find CD from one of my favorite bands um 12 hour early cities okay i'll see it come up on ebay occasionally but i'm pretty sure those are legs and not the actual CD it was a pretty limited run yeah my local record shop near des moines they recommended discogs.com i don't have a lot of luck there so i just wanted to see if you get any other ideas any places to look online hard to find yeah yeah thanks a lot was a show dude don't be embarrassing definitely starting up there's and call back and let us know yeah call back and let us know I mean I know he's probably just fishing for a resource especially if you're looking for a CD that might be a little bit harder to track down I feel like yeah you can need to get a record for it you know but the thing is a great place on st. marks place in the city called the rocket scientists yes in music isn't Rockets are right and that the guy that owns that shop knows every night so he should align in Oklahoma kool Moe I would also recommend going on message boards online it's not around anymore but there used to be this site called viva la vinyl yes and it was a record trading site has sands which go online that was more like a punk resource but I'm sure there are other message boards online for that particular job and a lot of people do this to getting rid of like you know all media is going digital arm check ebay like seriously like a lot of people that's what he said he said he found a lot of uh counter for counterfeit bootleg ones a lot of people put up with books I know that you buy like uh you know people are dumping their books I westerly 20 buck Amir PHS their respect to this guy for actually trying to track down a physical copy Irish online to buy music and I'm curious I want to know what it is he's part of the one percent it sounds like chat rooms recommending discogs he did mention that I've never used that resource I'm gonna check that out though oh this is kenny g it's not Kenny G like his stuff would be hard to track down he's around still just call me oh my god Gary video yeah maybe can you change the answer to that question that's why you didn't say we were no other Kenny G has never been the answer to anything except what are we gonna play in this dentist's office what is the worst yeah that's it the only answer is yes the one they pointed to the drilling sounds good Oh garrison by comparison Union yeah uh here's someone talking about drilling please I preferred really thank you the PlayStation Vita is coming out the 22nd here is someone talking about lack of commercials hey guys this is South Dakota from Jason hey I was just wondering if Sony's forgot about the upcoming PS vita launch because the sides at taco bell at I am seeing absolutely no marketing on it um and not even a Super Bowl ad which blew my mind so just wondering what you guys have thoughts are about the launch and what to expect because I'm seeing nothing and then also thanks adjusting for the recommendation on the Porta pros I just ordered my new headphones thanks yeah right nice job port approaches came out our cost just came out with the porter pro Katie sees that's the updated version that has a microphone on the others require but look brush things when right now right now he's rocking a model then he's a retro you can barely even see them on you great night and comfy they look great on you but they sound just like I'm not wearing headphones I feel like I'm just hearing you without any how so he's talked about the Vita so steve is a new portable gaming system from sony and everyone's like I know it's right up your alley everyone's I was a little surprised that they didn't have a Super Bowl ad they missed the US holiday release of time window they didn't come out with anything over sweetie they forgot the guy suggested they may have pretty sure that company didn't just forget about it a lot going on they do have a lot going on well the amazing spider-man's coming out another between the cushion yes like loose change well I the the CEO uh the new CEO of sony you know seem like everything's on the chopping board and you know I people been you know harping on the vita i'm pretty sure it's still going to come out but it's really gonna come out Wilson yeah I mean it's gonna come out but whether it has a long life that's a no that's that's up near it's going to get a good review I'm telling you that right now I know it's a embargo till Monday don't I love the tape Sony was that bring back the trinitron ooh yeah the brand or this the actual yeah the brand TV you remember that oh yeah I had one growing up in my my house yeah there's nobody else there was no number two I may own the TV that was it no go with the blue green and red write the log on and they are a hundred pounds it was terrible they always had that silver grill on the side I'm throw golf balls at it dented up real nice Phil yeah well I I feel like Sony's biggest problem is like you walk into a store you see the bravia tv right next to the samsung TV you wonder why the bravi cost 300 dollars more when it looks exactly the same as the samsung TV mm that's just fundamentally samsung it's got like a nice silver bezel or something like that but yeah that's it the playing the game of uh you know pricing things higher than they should be right might not be around forever what's up just really quick um so Shannon in the chat room was the one who called about the CD that he's known for and he said that the album is by something corporate reading some rank or that is not a difficult to find just call up the record label I'm sure they'll send you when it's still in print it's not like it's a rare show the coincidence here is remarkable I was not only really reason a wedding last week and that something corporate sit there these they're like a piano rock band they're pretty good I met someone who works with them two weeks ago to wedding so I'm gonna get in touch with this person yeah where did it dude as far as so amazing and she did the girl that knows the band got the groom got the what bride and groom I signed poster grab something corporate hmm which was very ironic because we're in the queue yes the cube that's all the kids today I did curiosity what was the last time any of you guys actually stepped inside of like a real record store like a music store no I look him yesterday for sure jayna I know you there's a bunch of them on st. marks next to my house that I go I you sugar generation records a lot down on oh yeah where the hell's that in like the West Village leaker around there is a place out in ford's new jersey called vintage flower city you ever hear a vintage vinyl in Jersey no but I go to Princeton record exchange ok gimme greater good too I like gimme gimme there's a lot of them also are and you'll just thought of a few more bands and that's something like in New York like that Mike I'm wondering like Middle America tark whether there's actually nothing left I don't know proudly well you know when you find outside like a Best Buy know when you find out about all those record stores on record store day yeah it's right because they just come out of the woodwork and they're all over the Internet yep because if you go to those record stores you buy stuff I have special records for day things that I'm psyched about that day because that's the day that mastodons and feist are covering each other song and then i'll be on that's gonna be really might be around fight i can imagine is being maybe have for sure she's don't what were the other bands you were saying let's say like I think like the older folk rock bands like uh I don't maybe not folk but like yo la tengo for example code enter levitra no yes but it just made just regular rock you think the spill is definitely gonna be around making music yeah sure like the living like a Radiohead sort of thing radio and for sure we'll call Shelby oh yeah yeah it'll be interesting to think about it all right cool it's being of retro yeah I did win little other plugs she did a blog about this guy Dominic odd bird he makes old suitcases into boom box of the high school and he's things are called boom cases any only he prefers to do with really old suitcases from the 30s and 40s because they're made out of wood okay I knew yeah and he come everyone is like he has to make them one at a time and design basically fine speakers it will fit in this case they look awesome they look really cool they're entirely handmade very if you're listening it's a amazing very unique design like almost like wood is that real what is its real wood yeah some of them are covered I wish let's go say I wish they had like the old uh you know of stamps like the passport stamps you know where they've been where that's been i love that whole DIY aspect i blogged about a similar thing where it was a seller on etsy like handmade marketplace online it was a seller who would take old radios from the 30s and convert them into stereos with a 3.5 you could just plug into any audio summers really go out like i like seeing stuff like this rather than new brands trying to make it look like old stuff I appreciate that it actually builds each one each one is unique it's not like you a lot like that one a lot of money right sorry that's they start at three hundred dollars okay it's not awful but you're the only one that would have one that's true remember each piece is unique make sure you read steve's blog on scene at the
