For those balking at the video length, it’s still pretty watchable at 1.5x speed.

I prefer listening through albums over listening to playlists so my top artists and albums ended up matching this year.
Top artists - Top albums:
- Moving Mountains - The Pruning of the Lower Limbs
- Turnstile - NEVER ENOUGH
- Deafheaven - Lonely People with Power
- Deftones - Private Music
- Thrice - Horizons / West
@smiles134 you might enjoy Moving Mountains. They share some DNA with the Midwest Emo bands since they started in the late 00’s in the last days of the Emo/Post-Hardcore scene, a few years before the Midwest Emo revival. Although they have more Post Rock influences in their instrumentation and have leaned into softer vocals on their last 2 albums - perfect for fall/winter listening!

I haven’t played in forever but I can picture a few of my favorite areas clear as day. It definitely influenced the types of games I enjoy although ironically I never got into Doom.

There’s almost more high moments in season 2 but they feel slightly less connected together. That’s not necessarily a critique, just a difference I noticed. I still enjoyed each season equally.

Definitely dealing with the theme of abuse and childhood trauma and a loss of innocence in quite a few of the songs. I wonder if the woman and Doberman are representative of parts of himself?

Frinet Link ParentLike @cloud_loud said, ABQ is a much smaller airport than SLC. SLC is one of Delta’s main hubs while ABQ is definitely just a spoke. DEN is a United hub and is larger than SLC as well.Like @cloud_loud said, ABQ is a much smaller airport than SLC. SLC is one of Delta’s main hubs while ABQ is definitely just a spoke.

Comment on Does spatial audio actually improve music to you? in ~music

I have noticed that having AirPods gen 2 with a good ear tip seal has improved Spatial Audio a lot over my poorly fitting gen 1s.
A favorite mix of mine where I think Spatial Audio sounds better than the stereo is Turnstile’s Blackout.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Anthony Green’s vocals although I did really like the 2016 Saosin album and he’s pretty good here. The instrumentation is a lot of fun with lots of cool moments. Overall probably a 7.5/10 for me!

Tower controllers typically “simulcast” on both UHF and VHF so when only the VHF frequency gets recorded or transcribed you tend to see what appears to be a one-sided conversation with military aircraft.

Comment on What’s your “I didn’t know I needed that” item? in ~life
Frinet Link ParentI was going to say this as well. I don’t know how I ever lived without mine!I was going to say this as well. I don’t know how I ever lived without mine!
“The stats back me up on this,” then proceeds to give no stats… I quit reading it around there (ironically I suppose). The tone also felt a little aggressive? I think there’s probably a good discussion to be had over whether people in general are or are not reading and whether what we are reading is good or not but this tone made me want to disengage from that discussion.
