Audio quality on Beatles songs?

Aaron — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 17:01:00 GMT

Anyone notice that on some but not all Beatles songs playing on Sirius XM, that the audio quality just doesn't seem right. Specifically the vocals are buried deep in the mix.
I notice this everytime "In My Life" plays on The Bridge, and the same thing this morning when "This Boy" played on Sirius XM Love.

Does anybody else watch this show? I know I'm late to the party here and the show is technically over but I took my 6 year old to see the movie when it came out in July and we've been watching the cartoon on NICKTOONS ever since.

Finally got to see the Series Finale the other day and I was surprised at how good it really was. There was a moment that I actually sat up in my seat and was cheering on Aang when he was fighting the Firelord.

Great show that works on a lot of levels. A lot of kid type entertainment but a lot of good martial arts and different martial arts sytles. Plus, some the themes and morals are pretty mature and can be enjoyed by adults too.

I know they're making a new show that comes out in 2011 but I just wanted to see if any other people on this board have enjoyed this show as much as I have.

Such a great cartoon with so much thought put into every episode.

Amazing.

Who Am I? Week #86

kingchuck69 — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:47:27 GMT

And you think that we're taking the week off due to Labor Day, but nope!

Welcome to the 86th week of Who Am I?, the game where I list a subject and you have to guess it with a clue I give out daily. As the days go by, the clues get easier.

As everybody knows, this week's winner gets a piece of my gratitude.

This week's subject is a THING.

CLUE #1: My creator is a thirty-something.

Games You're Looking Forward To

JHDKoopman — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 09:30:14 GMT

i really think nba jam will rock. i loved playing it on snes and think it will be great to play with all the classic players and celebs. i wonder if obama will be an unlockable. also, i wonder if jordan will be in this one. remember in the original how they didnt have the rights to his name so they just had a made up player in his place? that sucked.

the new donkey kong country looks cool too. also an old snes throwback that was great back in the day.

new 007 goldeneye!!!!! need i say more? and online play in a goldeneye? although i have a sneaking suspicion that there is no way this will be able to live up to the original.

epick mickey looks cool too, but i dont know if i could bring myself to buy it. sweet to see the darker side of mickey mouse in a game though.

and the best for last...ZELDA!!!!!!!!!! since ocarina of time i have yet to play any zelda game that i didnt think was totally awesome and left me wanting more of it. matter of fact, i think i need to start up twilight princess again during my wait for the new one.

so it seems like all the games im looking forward to are for wii. well nba jam will be on 360 too but i think that type of cartoon looking game will be better played on wii. im sure there are plenty of 360 games that im simply forgetting, but the list above are the main ones that come to mind.

Happy labor day all!!!!!

Syncing and backing up

IdRatherBeSkiing — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 05:21:30 GMT

It may be easy but being on a trip got me thinking. What if I had synced my iPhone4 with my laptop? Would it have wiped out the content of my iPhone4 or updated the contents of my laptop? If the former, what if my PC dies and I have to get a new one. How do I recover/sync my iPhone4 with my new PC? How should I be doing the backup?

Boise St. or Virginia Tech

Casual Fan — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:55:12 GMT

Is Boise St. for real, or are they overranked at #3? Will the vaunted VT defense, along with Heisman sleeper Ryan Williams' running, stand up against Boise's own Heisman favorite, Kellen Moore?

Machete

Anyone else see this yet? I loved it.

Got an iPad

MM — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 13:08:32 GMT

After debating and debating I finally got a couple of iPads last night. They were gifts for my wife and I. I decided that I didn't want to wait until the next refresh, whenever that will be.

So far I am very happy with the device. It's pretty fun so far.

Now I need some app ideas.

I Found This at Work

JHDKoopman — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 05:05:06 GMT

well after i started that awful thread about the puppies i thought i should counter it by posting a cool animal thread. so about 9 hours into my work day i saw this little guy walking across the street where all the residents come in and out. i went out to take a look and found this awesome little guy:

so i couldnt help but bring him in with me and play with him for awhile. he was a fast little guy. im guessing he was trying to find his way to the lake we have and wound up in the street, somewhat lost. so after i was done playing with my new buddy i walked him down to the edge of the lake and when i put him down he jumped right in.

this guy was so little and cute. we have huge versions of these guys in that lake. im talking turtles bigger than my cat, like the size of toto from the wizard of oz. hopefully my buddy will grow up to be that big some day and we can hang out again as adults!

happy labor day all!!:bigthumbup:

In honor of Labor Day I proudly present.........

yippeekyaa — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:40:35 GMT

Songs that are wrong.

First up is a song that is both patriotic and unpatriotic at the same time. Some would call in un-American, yet others may rightly argue that it's as American as you can get. You decide.

YouTube - Star Spangled Baloney Karaoke

Next up is a classic Motown song that gets ruined by none other than the Russian Red Army Choir. Can you make it to the end where they sing "blah blah blah"? Yes they sing "blah blah blah"!

YouTube - Leningrad Cowboys & Russian Red Army...

Everyone likes some Spanish guitar songs right? well wait until you get to the 40 second mark on this one......

YouTube - Los Baby's Juanita Banana

If you are a fan of Clint Eastwood, then please skip to the next song.

YouTube - Gold Fever - Clint Eastwood

Do you like tacos and classical music? If so then enjoy this gem that is wrong yet fun at the same time.

YouTube - Taco Bell Canon (ORIGINAL REAL VERSION)

And finally, some Frank Sinatra...............

YouTube - Frank Sinatra - Mrs. Robinson

I hope you get offended by some of these and enjoy them at the same time.

seeking s50 for parts

I'm looking for an s50 for parts. lronglien@goldengate.net Thanks-

Here Comes Earl

MM — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:07:56 GMT

I think I'm ready for what little punch Earl has left. All outside stuff is secure. I'm about a 20 mile straight shot from the coast.

We'll see what happens. Probably just a bunch of rain. We are supposed to get an inch.

Anyone else getting ready?
