Sorry guys...

[Phelonious Ponk]

Early in my stay here, I got a bit bitchy with some of you for posting the analog gospel on the digital forums. I just realized that I recommended Linkwitz Orions on the Magico forum. The "What's New" button at the top of the landing page here is one of my favorite features. I think it encourages posts across forum instead of having everything land in general audio, and that's great. But I've been posting through that feature without looking to the far right to see what forum I was posting to. That was probably the reason why some of you were posting analog arguments on digital forums.

My reaction was premature and less than fair. I apologize...post-offensively?

I was going to admit to much the same thing since I also normally come in through "New Posts", but upon reading the punishment is 8 hours of KennyG, I'll just slink away quietly and admit nothing...

Yeah. The Kenny G thing is enough to make me retract.

Having conversations via the internet is a problematic undertaking. Small variances in tone and intent can be unnoticed in written communication. Then, having only the written words to interpret, we ourselves assign the tone and intent to what we read. This often leads to argument when none existed.

It's in this spirit that we should all take a step back and consider the limitations of the interchange here. Sure helps to cut the stress levels!

What are you saying, that my posts are problematic? That I am unable to communicate effectively via a written, rather than spoken, medium? I resent that! To KennyG with you!

From one of my favorite movies:

Nahari: I'm going to Hell! I killed a child! I smashed his head against a wall.
Gandhi: Why?
Nahari: Because they killed my son! The Muslims killed my son!
[indicates boy's height]
Gandhi: I know a way out of Hell. Find a child, a child whose mother and father have been killed and raise him as your own.
[indicates same height]
Gandhi: Only be sure that he is a Muslim and that you raise him as one.

So your choices are:
1. In light of above story, go to the analog section, praise subjective testing as being great and LPs better than CDs.

2. Do nothing. You have repented enough for creating this thread.

Now that is some analogy

That's brilliant. I would edit slightly to lighten it a bit though:

Smooth jazz hack: I'm going to Kenny G! I killed a legend! I used technology to record my maudlin, predictable pseudo-jazz as a duet with the great Louis Armstrong!

The ghost of Miles: Why?

SJH: Because I'm vain! Because I wanted to believe the spoiled pablum that is the fruit of my horn is art!

GoM: I know a way out of Kenny G. Find your horn, a horn that has been denied real music, and give it to another player. Only be sure it is a player with a soul.

...and now I'll go post an apology to anyone who likes Kenny G...

Be quick about it! I love Kenny G. Almost as much as I love Abba.

For true malfeasance, it is 8 hours of Yoko Ono and enough anti-cable to hang yourself.

 

[Ron Party]

Any Debbie Boone fans? Maybe Paul Anka?

 

[Steve williams]

Ron, IIRC you started a thread similar to this in the music forum

 

[Ron Party]

Come to think of it, you're right. I think I had started a thread for people to post some of the worst songs ever. Paul Anka's You're Having My Baby was my choice for the all time worst.

 

[FrantzM]

You guys are a riot .. Two songs come to mind when I think about worst songs ever ...

Everything is Everything by Lauryn Hill (ex-Fugee)
Umbrella by Rihanna

Along with Kenny G. That would be punishment for anyone getting out of line ...

 

[JackD201]

Frantz, why Rihanna? Would you please, 'ella, 'ella, 'ella, elaborate?

Here's my eternity in hell entry as worst album ever, totally bereft of any redeeming qualities and a true abomination!

Pat Boone - In A Metal Mood : No More Mr. Nice Guy

Boone singing Smoke on Water and Stairway to Heaven anybody? Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaarffffffffffffffff!!!!! Upgrades Paul Anka singing Smells Like Teen Spirit from 7th circle of hell to purgatory!

P, He will be the one flogging you with the Speltz' dressed in nothing but a leather vest and leather pants!!!!!!

As someone who has had to sit through multiple viewings of Mama Mia, I now see that my earlier comments were far too serious.......

[Ron Party]

Listen to the lyrics. Is there anything more offensive? If a woman shot this M-F, I would call it justifiable homicide.

And while we're at it, how 'bout this for some punishment:

 

[JackD201]

I have to get a DVD of Dirty Harry blowing Hutch away after watching this
