I had this dream last night Ken, we met at a pet store. You were getting a parrot and, and I was getting a new frog. I went over to you and said hello. But you did not like that! You were so mad and disappointed at me.
I don't remember everything, but it ended up with you and your parrot telling me that my frog was old and stupid.
Why Ken? Why are you mad at me?

Ken,

It's from the one Porest recorded for WFMU. It's called 'The Optimised - Parallel Broadcasts'. It's the first segment where the finnish music scientist describes how dogs helped him discover the saddest chords. The entire track last 17 minutes in total.

Wild Neil,

I agree! I wonder if it real or animated? Does someone knows its source?

Hey all, any recommendations on good earplugs for concerts? Seeing Swans and Drive Like Jehu recently made me rethink ear protection -- the foam earplugs sold at the bar are overkill and wadded-up napkins are ghetto and don't quite cut it. Also, I don't want to spend a small fortune.

Foam Plugs work- choose highest DB reduction availble at drug stores or Home Depot. Still they seem to work their way out of the ear. Tissue paper wet with water or saliva jammed into the ear canal reduces the noise further, and stuffed all the way in is hardly noticeable, but hard to extract later.

Avatar 10:46am Jeff:

@Rick L: I second @Marcel M's recommendation of the Etymotic earplugs.

The good old disposable flanged foam plugs block more sound, and are best for plain old noise, but they make music sound weird. The Etymotic plugs let music sound pretty much the same, just less loud. In fact, they can make music sound clearer if the sound at the venue is loud enough without them that your eardrums are getting driven into flapping paroxysms of overload distortion.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:48am Marcel M:

Yes the difference between the foam plugs is significant. I (stupidly) went many years without using plugs bands I've been in, one reason being I tried the foam ones and just hated it. ETY ones are a huge step up. That being said, I do think they cut treble A BIT. So as a musician, you have to remember that the treble is cut slightly without them and not to adjust when they are in.

(In terms of the ear plugs) Also keep in mind its a difference of a hundred or even a few hundred bucks to get something that TRULY cuts the frequencies evenly.. so I think 16 for the ETY is a no brainer.

I saw the original 2003 production of A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant and that song wasn't in there; I'll have to catch up with what they've done b/c that sounded great.
  10:56am jan:

@age 64, my hearing is somewhat impaired and I also hear a constant hiss or ringing.
Must have been loud concerts, music on the home stereo and using power tool and hammers without ear protection. Most memorable cause of hearing loss: A Glenn Branca concert at BAM sitting front and center. My ribcage was already resonating, but when the felt hat that I held in my hand began to vibrate, I knew that the concert was hazardous to my health and I sprinted up the aisle to the exits. In the lobby, the music was still amply loud,

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:05am coelacanth:

re: earplugs - keep in mind that it is the high frequencies that permanently impair your hearing, much, much more than mid or lower. i want to protect my hearing, even if it changes the music somewhat. i hope it does in fact...usually -at least in smallish venues, the cymbals are disproportionately loud anyway, so foam earplugs work perfectly for me.
...not the pvc ones though. they suck.

...that is, the good foam plugs; NOT the ones that are rounded at one end; NOT the ones that are foam inside of plastic.
...and the pvc ones do do the job -IF you can get them into your ears, that is. they expand too quickly to insert them -but i'm sure they're fine for people with bigger ear canals.

$16 for decent earplugs seems a no-brainer. I'm going to get a few extra sets for my daughters who have gone to shows and parked themselves right in front of the speakers. Now to just get them to actually use them.... And the attached cords on some models are a good idea in theory -- I'd imagine no one wants to drop an earplug on the floor at a show.
