Master Handbook of Acoustics is your friend if you want to learn what to do to your room. Overkill for most, admittedly, but it contains everything you need to know.

I would recommend focusing on pink drinks, ideally with a tiny umbrella. The locals will be delighted if you buy a round of pink ones. The more deprived the area, the more a round of pink ones will brighten up their day, especially so if there are bikers around.
A pint of lager is £5.60 in our local. A year ago it was £5.20.
Naively I was hoping for something a bit more civilised. All I got was a notch up in blood pressure.
Just to be clear, I did not want to make any points about politics, just rant about the quality of the debate of the people who want to lead.
I can see we are finally asking the real questions. Velvet Quilted.
So far I’ve found everything I looked for, and a few new ones too. Their app features for lyrics and other songs you might like work great. Admittedly, I’m an old metal head who loves singing to a song at the top of the voice, out of tune of course, so I might not be skirting the kinds of niches you like.
I switched to Tidal a few weeks ago, primarily because of lossless streaming, but also fuck Spotify for your price hikes. Not going back.
For Glasgow, it has to be chicken tikka masala.
Almost all albums I love most took several listens to get into. Music that sounds great on first listen often becomes boring quickly. More challenging stuff takes its time but in the end delivers much more pleasure.
And they are touring again, I hear. I just hope they make it to the UK.
Two very different environments are my favourites: Yorkshire Dales and Norfolk North coast beaches.
Appetite for Destruction was my first CD. I was in Hong Kong, bought a portable CD player and the G’n’R CD. As I was walking the street in Kowloon, first notes of Welcome to the Jungle hit me with a force. I was hooked immediately. Will see Slash in couple of weeks.
I’m not sure which was first, Rainbow Rising or Metallica …And Justice for All. Both vinyls were played a lot.
Radio 1/2/3/4/5/6/whatever, nah, Planet Rock every time!
Happy birthday! Our dog has been vomiting since Friday evening. Food just won’t stay in. Surprisingly he’s seemed alert and relatively lively even though he must feel terrible. My wife took him to the vets earlier and apart from the upset tummy all seems fine. They gave him an injection to reduce the tummy upset. He already ate a little bit and that has not come out so far. Fingers crossed.
The story of Nokia the company is long and meandering. Its roots go back to late 1860’s in the town of Nokia in Southern Finland, near the city of Tampere, from where they’ve gone through all sorts of businesses, including rubber boots and industrial capacitors to name just two. You might even find an old Nokia TV knocking about. The mobile handsets phase was in some sense but a blip in the story, although a spectacular one. I’m sure they’ll keep going in one way or another for a fair while still.
I went the full length this morning: sausages, bacon, hash browns, beans, fried eggs. Sets us good for a trip to the beach with the dogs a bit later.
I have seen that pose before!
I made couple of bass tramps tuned to the room’s main resonant frequencies, which I measured. I followed instructions from the book.
I added sound absorber panels to the walls and ceiling to kill immediate reflections from the main speakers plus a sprinkling of additional panels to kill reflections and also act as decoration. I also needed to move one radiator because it was in the worst possible location for my setup.
The room got thick curtains to improve absorption, and they also darken the room as it is dual use music listening and home cinema room. A few defraction elements went into the ceiling for a good measure. The ceiling is made of custom panels that I made myself from wood and fabric to allow sound energy through to the various acoustic elements behind them.
I also spent a fair amount of time with subwoofer placement, but in the end it became a bit of a compromise between sound and placement of furniture. Nothing a bit of signal processing can’t deal with, mind.
