Alex finally got around to framing the poster I gave him. Looks pretty sweet! I am flattered whenever I see someone use up valuable wall space in their home for my junk.
Shady Lane Records (AKA Hesher's Room), has been reorganized slightly. My favourite room just got better.
Jackie Brown was on the television this past weekend and I got sucked back into her world all over again. On any given day, that film usually hovers around my Top 3 Tarantino films of all time. This last viewing reminded me that I always wanted to give the book it was based on a try.
Here is the official poster and lineup announcement!
A couple years back I hit up the mighty Apollo Cinema on Valentines Day to witness Smut Without Smut, which was an AGFA collection of old porno scenes, without the hardcore stuff. AGFA + Something Weird + Vinegar Syndrome has now unleashed this version, which is comprised of devil themed films. I have not seen it, and I cannot wait to throw it in tonight.
Apollo has a special 7th Anniversary IPA. I mocked up a couple of options and I think they are going with this top one.
I never lost my love of my jPod as I am extremely anal when it comes to "my" music. Streaming has its place I suppose, but there is something to be said for having YOUR music collection in your pocket sans internet and algorithms. For years I have told myself I would one day update my iPod with an iFlash drive, and this past Christmas seemed like the perfect time to treat myself.
I debated installing 1TB but that seemed excessive as the entire jTunes collection on my jMac is around 500gb. On top of that, I did some reading and turns out the 7th generation classic only has the ability to shuffle 50000 songs based on its internal ram, so unless I had nothing but flac files, there is no reason to have 1TB. I do have three spare SD slots should I want to do such things though.
The main issue I had was buying the wrong SD cards. Turns out the two SanDisc cards I got worked, but many songs would skip, and eventually the iPod would stall. I did some more digging and found a list of tried and tested cards which can be found on the iFlash website. I purchased a 512gb Samsung card from Amazon, and since then there has been zero issues! Knock on wood.
I bought a new battery from an eBay seller and it was a piece of junk. The charge didn't even last a couple of hours. I reinstalled my OG battery until my new big capacity battery arrives in the mail. From the testings I have seen, that battery should last a month of regular use before needing a charge.
