Finally got around to Deerhoof tonight. . .

Dangit, I fell asleep through the middle. Only missed a song or two, though.

Okay, the first song, I really liked. The rest had their moments, but never seemed to get off the ground. I dunno, there's good stuff in there, but I have a feeling it will require some more listens.

I felt "Friend Opportunity" was a lot more fun and spontaneous. "Offend Maggie" is a definite change. Good or bad, the jury's still out.

Yeah, Friend Opportunity was easier to get into, except for the last track, I mean.

I liked Adele's performance on SNL tonight. I missed her first song, but I actually really liked the sound of her second song.

Ditto.

I almost bought her album once, but after listening to some samples I didn't think it was for me.

Yeah, I listened to a couple of the tracks on her MySpace page and didn't think I needed her album.

Rush, Snakes and Arrows in 5.1. (Much-maligned) Mark recommended it to me.

Mark, after all the times you've attempted to give JohnK a nickname, I thought I'd try one for you... what does everyone think of Much-maligned Mark ?

I LIKE it!

At the moment, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones- Little Worlds. On the M80s and EP350 at relatively high volume (for me).

All due respect to the gang at Axiom and Mojo, but the Audiobytes don't have anything on M80s+EP350.

Other than stunning imaging and soundstage, but the M80s somehow manage to match that. Again I found myself (like a new customer) checking to see if the center channel is indeed off...

I suspect that now it's Tool-10000 Days. It's making me nervous, whatever it is.

Funny you say that. Every time "Vicarious" from "10,000 Days" comes up on my random playlist my wife always says "Please turn that off, it scares me!"

I like it myself but admittedly between the lyrics, haunting voice and odd drum beats, it is a pretty freaky song.
