"Hasn't anybody told you it's not polite to stare?" - Mick Jagger
It just HAPPENS. I lose control of my eyes and when I regain my senses, I feel so guilty. I feel ashamed. If just one girl would tell me, oh you are so normal. Come closer. Let me nourish you with my boobs.

After updated info, my imagination can only of you as someone with Ovechkin's head and sex drive, but a giant beard, and a fat Gimli's body.

You will see me someday if I land the role of a villain in a Hollywood movie some day. I do evil pretty well

It may have to be a comedy coz usually those have short villains.

Been into them since one of my radio station's DJs 2-3 decades ago did a whole set or two of Sparks. I've played them on my show quite a few times. I bought the BR documentary on them which is super recommended but haven't watched it yet. I have lots to do!

Disco Volante is the only one i recognize , i got into electronic music around 95-96 myself, mainly psy/goa , stuff like

Hallucinogen
Astral Projection
GMS
Etnica
Cosmosis
Goa Gil
Shpongled (later on)
i feel that Psy/Goa is overengineered, and has less "trance" effect that other simpler electronic music.

with all respect due to @igor_kavinski for his height, he's staring right at them.
Me, towering from teh clouds of my 194cm, i see them from orbit.

@Torn Mind have you seriously never watched Mel Brooks' masterpiece, Young Frankenstein - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072431/reference/ ??

this is a great film, absolutely a classic, unmissable. 8/10
I watched Young Frankenstein years back. So I know @biostud used Igor the character as his avatar.

How the Frankenstein wanted his last name pronounced was hilarious; from Frahn-ken-shteen to Frank-en-stein.

Not the easy listening kind of guy, are you?
1. the song you linked doesn't exist anywhere else. There's no hits for the lyrics and no known song called "moonlight over georgia"
2. the video is touted to be "high quality audio" but the keyboard, drums, are clearly synths, probably from a software like Ableton
3. obviously the instant that you mention "high quality audio" the idiots come out, all about "my Very Expensive Brand record player is so much clearer now that i've replaced the drive belt with one made of camel intestine, and the platinum-tipped feet for the cabinet really bring out the mids".
As AN ACTUAL AUDIO ENGINEER, i can tell you that these people are complete idiots. Famously a test was done to drive two very expensive speakers, one with the most expensive gold cabling you can buy, the other set by bending a fucking coat hanger and using it as a cable. I'll let you guess the results.

Yes, I figured it was something someone unknown cooked up or maybe it's AI generated? I was listening to various Youtube music videos with Hidiz MP145 earphones. Sounded not bad. But about an hour of listening has left my ears pretty fatigued

That's always the problem with anything high end audio I've tried. It eventually leads to ear fatigue.

Among the things I listened to:

this is nonsensical.

Good god why did i have to be born a sound engineer. There is nothing tying "high end" with ear fatigue. if anything, it would be the opposite.
What is happening is that you're being told that Headphones XYZ are "better" and therefore "high end" because fsdfj9-sbvu9-u13qpcfsx nkng5i489c7s78 and also "they sound better"; while in reality it's just that they had closed cuffs and therefore you're hearing louder bass and a "fuller" sound, or "color", because it's soundwaves bouncing back from the inside of the cuffs and disturbing the audio spectrum that comes from the speakers. And because the closed cuffs create pressure waves, which cook your ears.

.. i can't find it now. There's a guy on YT that tests headphones on a binaural setup, he does good consumer stuff, things like $200 to $500, then he tested a set of $5k headphones and jesus christ, they make me want to be rich.

That sounds plausible.

unfortunately YT has become unusable, both because the feed is full of garbage reviews where NONE of the idk, 100 reviews of a set of headphones HAS A SOUND TEST, and because after you've scrolled too many garbage reviews YT cuts your connection to nothing, so you can't even keep browsing. Not to mention the impossibility to filter results decently.

So i can't find it. There was a guy who would do headphone reviews, and the end of the review would be him placing the headset on a binaural mannequin (a "head" with microphones in the ears) for a sound test.

If you have your YT history on, you can search your YT history.
