What are you Listening To?

I've been listening to this song for almost 60 years, and never realized there was an "extended" version until the other day! :facepalm: I shouldn't say extended, it's the way Pete Townsend wanted the song but was edited for AM radio air play.

God damn, RIP Paul Di’anno, THE BEST singer Iron Maiden had, an opinion I’ve literally had fights over. I’m sorry but those first two albums were all killer no filler masterpieces, whatever his technical limitations were he fit the band perfectly and the band played better music with him, I never could get into anything post-Bruce beyond a song here and there.
Damn I didn't know he had passed, he was awesome though!
 
Lately I've been listening to a lot of Burzum. 1995's "Filosofem" is a grand masterpiece.


Nice. Morgenroede from Belus is my go-to for Burzum. The texturing is very unique.

There is a band from Portland that I quite enjoy, though it's slow and patently less 'Kvlt', it still has that foggy winter atmosphere. This is my go-to album for Agalloch.

I've heard some of their stuff on the BMP channel on YouTube. There's just so much good stuff on that channel I can't even keep up with it!
 
They played a show with Russian Circles and Red Sparowes that I had the pleasure of going to in 2008. This is back when Russian Circles only had one LP out, very powerful band for only 3 members. Red Sparowes and Russian Circles are a class act. All instrumental too

The Cure dropped their first new album in 15+ years and it doesn't disappoint. The punk GenX'er in me is very happy.

And before anyone says anything, the touchscreen isn't scratched. It's got a screen protector on it.
 
water freezing at 0 and boiling at 100 makes so much more sense than water boiling at 212 and freezing at 32 like what? also a comfortable interior temp being 73° is weird to me, what makes sense is a room being at 23°, although both are weird numbers to be fair

Human beings are conditioned to encounter temperature ranges between 0°F and 100°F. We’re not all scientists playing with beakers and test tubes all day where H2O’s idiosyncrasies trump our own perceptions.

I’ve felt all ambient temperatures on a 0-100 scale of Fahrenheit without perishing. 100° Celsius not so much, there’s just more resolution in Fahrenheit, having the Celcius scale between 1 and 100 start at 32°F and end at 212°F means literally half of the numbers aren’t useful to humans and a third of the numbers we live with for an entire season are in the negatives. Ridiculous!
 
C is easier to use for calculations; but I've noticed -40 is the same in both. We used both liquid nitrogen and liquid helium at work. It' trippy working with LHe; It can crawl up the sides, and out of a dewar with a pressure valve.
The funnest thing about LN2, is that it will liquify O2 out of the air.:) The fun comes in where Lo2 is magnetic, so you can use a magnetic parts picup tool to extract Lo2from a tray filled with LN2. A garbage bag full of oxygen will detonate if you add anything flammable. hydrogen will make it float, and a long fuse will keep it from breaking your windows,lol. I was not popular with management. :)

I loved reading this, also yeah, since I'm at school for engineering I just like the easiest numbers for calculations (I mean I'm in Canada too, so it would be c regardless) and I spend most of the year in the negative range anyway lol, it's actually nice today though at -8°C (17°F) although next week its really cold here
 
I use the metric system for everything, except my house temperature, which is in Fahrenheit, probably from my parents using it when I was a kid.
🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️
 
I had a co-worker that spent a year in Antarctica, working on the Ice cube project; one of the asshats I worked with asked him how cold it got. he said -40. Everyone in the
the meeting got a belly laugh when asshat asked C or F that's rhe same on both.

If you peed outside, it would either make a pile, or yellow snow,lol.

I had to get a gut feeling for c, mm, kph and newtons, as that was all we used at work.
 
I like metric better for most other stuff, most of my tools are. I just don’t like Celsius lol
 
Best all-girl band ever!
I found some motorhead songs with them. :headbang:
 
On the theme of car woes, this track always comes to mind and sometimes makes it to a CD burn

I discovered them through the st Valentine’s Day massacre ep my fellow metalhead buddy bought when we’re in high school. Girlschool was the real deal in their first two or three albums, Kelly Johnson was a really distinctive guitarist! I actually like their cover of Bomber on that album better than Motörhead.
