I have two from the late 80's/early 90's Depeche Mode: yes, they had been around for a few over a decade. But Violator reached a level of sophistication that hasn't been topped since in that genre IMO. Listening to that today, 35 years later, I feel the same way: In the late 80's, a friend had this before EPIC hit, and I was enthralled with the blend of different styles of synth/guitar/deep lyrics(read: not girls and blow)and the variety of Mike Patton's voices. The Real Thing is a MONSTER album, and dare I say, the best version of War Pigs:

I can't have you do that @Rain

You have a good woman! All about the adventure.

I think I tore my psoas at one point, then my hips are genetically defective. Well, one is, the other one is new 🤠 Around 2006, I was going to do a Flyers Alumni "fantasy" weekend. Put the deposit down, and it was perfect because it was near my sister's place. But then for some reason, they moved it to Montreal. The event was already too pricey at the time, the change of venue killed it for me.

Sound like a good road trip!

Your hips lasted that long????? That's AWESOME! I retired from playing because too many parts were preventing me from playing the level I had played for years. I knew that if I couldn't play balls to the wall without worrying, it was time to go!

I'm a Flyers fan ...and I'm still bitter about 1997!!! Detroit had a great run not all that long ago, and they'll be back sooner than later.

On a stormy day in Atlanta, this was fun to see. Sure, Ovi gets paid, but he also truly seems to love the game like a kid ...even at 39. Great to have passion in whatever you do (paid or unpaid). Also, the internet wins with memes. If you don't follow hockey, this is an accurate jab at the New York Islanders...

You can get in the weeds with all of this for sure. I absolutely agree with the XMP part, but except for that, if the board supports it and it is a quality brand - you'll be more than fine. Even working in IT and making numerous DAW builds, memory never concerned me.

This seems to fit the bill, and a solid brand: https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr5/CP2K64G56C46U5

I find Windows 11 to be marginally better on a legacy machine, but a little better than that on the current generation of hardware.

Rufus is the easiest way IMO. Use it all the time.

GO BIRDS!

I like Dream Theater. I've seen them a bunch of times. Still don't want to see them do more than 1 cover at a show, and I get an extra bathroom break if they do more.

**DISCLAIMER: This is a GET OF MY LAWN post** I will never understand why anyone would put the effort in doing a WHOLE ALBUM of someone else's material. Seems like a waste to me. I get doing one or two, but it seems like they should focus on their own creativity. These are different musical arrangements that took time to do. Though they don't sound bad, though I am of the opinion they sonically castrate a good amount of the songs.
