I got some new headphones last week, and now I'm all interested in sound again. They are Grado sr80i phones, and I like them very much. It turns out that music sounds really good when you listen on good headphones. And now I find myself searching and ripping CDs into lossless codec (like FLAC) so that I can hear the awesomeness. Because I frequently find myself listening to electronic music mixes, now I'm searching out lossless mixes. I only mention this because I've been reading vigorous debates about the quality of lossless encoded mixes vs. MP2 vs. MP3 when recorded from digital sources vs. FM.
Apparently, BBC must broadcast a digital signal that some people record and encode, as well as an FM signal. I'm downloading my first lossless essential mix, recorded via FM, and I'm looking forward to hearing it.
Also worth mentioning, all around good person, and sometimes contributor Andy Boyan is officially joining the unpaid staff of Happy Hour Gazette (aka this blog). Welcome him by giving him hugs and stuff. Yesterday he made me farm fresh omelettes with homegrown tomatoes that he and his wife (and God) made on their land in Okemason. We also came up with the best idea evar: Menage-a-Salon. Stay tuned.
