Not an album I know well. For some reason I always gravitate to Love Over Gold and Making Movies - I know those albums like the back of my hand. Masterpieces, both of them. I must give this another listen

Guess I'd never really listened properly to those lyrics. Makes sense it's about homelessness... To be fair, it's pretty bloody hard to understand what EV's singing at the best of times.

I often wonder what changed about Pearl Jam's songwriting - they never managed to recapture that same intensity that Ten had. Incredible debut, not a bad song on that album. Then Vs, a couple, maybe three dud songs. Vitalogy, maybe 50/50. Stopped listening pretty much after that. Certainly never bought another of their albums.

Like Vedder's solo stuff tho.

Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I'm striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn't respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.

Wasn't aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!

I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must've tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can't get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn't click for me and I can't get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I'd rather not...

I got to play with a Hololens a bit when my brother brought one home from work. Astonishing tech.

It's on the 2-and of the bar (the ascending arpeggio). Think the note is an E

Edit - on the 1-and. The lead in is beat 4 of the previous bar. So it's the 4th note of the arpeggio

I always thought it was a deliberate part of the track, but the internet insists it was a genuine double mistake and f-bomb from Billie Joe. Nice!

I love the mis-fretted note in Stairway to Heaven at 3:30. Can't unhear it and love that it's never been dubbed out in all the various remasters etc.

I'm like that with Green Day's "Good Riddance" - the two attempts followed by a muffled "f$#k" are brilliant

To be fair, this has been pretty standard corporate-speak in most industries for a long time. It's (typically) referring to giving people a reason to stay with your product - we used to use this exact phrase in reference to our complementary training programmes that were included with the product.

But, this is HP, so locked in means LOCKED IN. So, fuck HP 😂

Fantastic news, glad you got it sorted
