12" vinyl. Delivered. £6.19.
Used to own this on cassette years ago.

Cool! I didn't really expect anyone here listening to them. I LOVE Black Sabbath, especially their song Planet Caravan. It's probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

I have their debut album on vinyl. I love the cover art and the poem inside the gatefold sleeve:

Still falls the rain,the veils of darkness shroud
the blackened trees,
which, contorted by some unseen violence,shed
their tired leaves,
and bend their boughs toward a gray earth of
severed bird wings.
Among the grasses, poppies bleed before a
gesticulating death,
and young rabbits, born dead in traps,stand
motionless,
as though guarding the silence that surrounds and
threatens to engulf
all those that would listen. Mute birds, tired of
repeating yesterdays
terrors,huddle together in the recesses of dark corners,
heads turned from the dead, black swan
that floats upturned in a small pool in the hollow.
There emerges from this pool a faint,sensual mist,that traces
its way upwards to caress the feet of the
headless martyr's statue whose only achievement was to die
too soon,and who couldn't wait to loose.
The cataract of darkness forms fully,the long black night begins,
yet still by the lake a young girl waits.
Unseeing she believes herself unseen,
she smiles faintly at the distant tolling bell,
and the still falling rain.

Man Black Sabbath are so good!

nothing huge but a few things to be excited about

A Raspberry Pi and a 22" monitor!

Pre-ordered The Antlers new EP "Undersea," pressed on translucent blue vinyl. Too hype.

Oh baby

Hey, I have a cousin who has one of those things. Takes him a lot longer than a regular old 3x3. Pretty badass design, whoever came up with it.

I love solving cubes, it's quite the nice way to relax for me. Not sure I have the grit to be a speedcuber though, my fastest I ever got was under a minute for a 3x3 but I've been out of practice. Honestly I wish more people got into it, it's fun!

Unfortunately, I think too many people never learned an algorithm and then said "fuck it" on their first cube when they were a kid.

Now that the internet exists though, it's totally easy to learn how to solve them. People should give them another chance.

Yeah. My dad had an old pair of the original 125's that he has been using for nearly ten years. I listened to them and pretty much decided that this was the brand to go with.

And according to lots of reviewers online, Grado's lower end headphones are comparable to the mid range headphones of brands like Sennheiser and whatnot.

So considering I needed something high quality, but within the bounds of being replaceable (which 100$ is) since I'm out and about with my cans most of the time, I went with these. Currently listening to Gyroscope with them and the way the percussion just rolls off so smoothly on these is amazing.

The name Tei-Fu is not the name of an herb. It is the name of a Chinese herbalist. Starting with a family owned formula that had been passed down from generation to generation for over a thousand years, this herbalist worked on and perfected the formula. He brought it to the United States several years back, and his formula is what Nature's Sunshine uses today.

Many people have reported a variety of benefits. Tei-Fu has menthol in it, which is the substance used in many cough drops and other product to open the respiratory passages. Some people use it for that purpose--simply be putting a few drops on their hands, cupping them over their mouth, and breathing deep. Others use it similarly to help with mental alertness and concentration. Still another use is to relieve headaches. Application of Tei-Fu oil to the temples or neck is the common method for this purpose. While some people do take a small number of drops internally with water occasionally, it generally needs to be used topically or by breathing its vapors.

This saved my life. http://www.healthy-sunshine.com/tei-fu-oil.asp

Intervalometer for my camera, now to have clear skies and make great time lapses

Oh to the guy who bought the Grado's, count one jealous BOCcer here!

Magrathea, that's a cool intervalometer. Have you had a chance to use it yet?

I just picked up a pair of Shure SE215 in ear monitors yesterday. These things have completely reinvigorated my interest in music. Highly recommended! <$100
