I say the now somewhat infamous cd vs vinyl rant was quite controversial, but I don't try to make controversial posts I just say how I feel.

Yes, It makes it hard to tell his intelligence. I wouldn't ever say that he doesn't come across as intelligent in his posts and I wouldn't say that to anyone.

OHHHH- its the vinyl vs CD thing. OK, that is sorta funny cos I was going on about lossless vs lossy some months back.

But I agree with you on that -vinyl is lower quality than CD - otherwise they wouldnt have invented the CD (or laserdisc) now would they. People think vinyl sounds better because it produces a slightly distorted 'warm' sound, much like how tube amps sound better than sterile, digital ones.

In reality the CD actually has the more accurate representation of the source audio. The only other thing I can think of that vinyl might have over CDs is that vinyls are not as compressed as audio CDs these days which tend to suffer from clipping.

Ok but we haven't seen/heard much of him lately

Though he's going to be on Oprah soon isnt he?

I wonder if he'll talk about the new album

Wasn't he with Oprah in Sydney?

Yes, but it's being shown tommorow (here at least) - I don't remember if anyone in the audience on the day it was recorded reported anything about a new album etc/

I used to, specially at 12-14 years... when everyone went out to play football, I stayed home reading and reading. And I used to behave soooo badly at school that my teachers actually hated me (that happens today too, ouch)... But yes, I was "The Weirdo" for a few years at school. Then came University, nobody knew me there, nobody knows I'm gifted, I'm like... normal That's why I love Uni, it represents the kind of integration and normal behaviour that I lacked for almost 15 years...
