Oh that’s beautiful. I knew I wanted to see it but I missed that it had been released! Bertie House as Space Captain Stubing!

Okay if that triggers a substance-related flashback to that time and place you may have to send an EMT with some bottled water and a pair of pants to the roof of the casket factory downtown later this afternoon…

I paid for the whole 9-episode first season of Avenue 5. It’s created by Armando Iannucci (The Thick of It, Veep, In the Loop, Death of Stalin) and features the kind of great talent that his name attracts. I highly recommend it.

What’s really spooky is that somehow it seems that Iannucci and his writers have managed to satirize situations and events that hadn’t happened at the time of writing.

Thanks for this.
Having never heard of LFO, I went on Google and was presented with some White Boys Band Hip Hop. (White Hip Hop ?!?)
And was a bit confused how that would be the ultimate bass response test.

That’s the exact track that I had in mind… the sub bass on that was, or still is quite formidable. Still have that in a playlist…

LFO have a pretty unique sound… heh… Yeh, there is more than one LFO these days. Search for ‘We are back’ EP by LFO. That’s good one for big speakers!

Edit…

My all time favourite is a track called Tan Ta Ra… it’s nice and ‘crisp’.

The other thing that used to be as good, if not better for testing out the subs was a track called Take Me Back by Rhythmatic. It was on a compilation album called bio rhythm. There were 2 or 3 of them, when I sold my old car… the ‘friend’ I sold it to, found the CDs and put them at the bottom of a plastic bag that contained a leaky oil bottle and some tools. Destroyed. :frowning:

Okay it’s pretty good. “No, when it thaws, it wil…”

Well it sounds good on a pair of cheap cans…

I need to get my 15" Cabs and Amp set up at my workshop, but I don’t think they will do it justice. I would “Borrow” my son’s ancient but able subs… But that would require extracting them from his bedroom…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who looked up LFO and was puzzled to find myself listening to rather dull boy band sounds.
