    Monday (and tomorrow) long day helping out at Crisis.
    Wifie joining me to help out on Wednesday.

    "Mank" is brilliant, as was Lily Collins in it.
    Available in Cinemas's (if they're open where you are) or Netflix.
    1930's Hollywood is reevaluated through the eyes of scathing social critic and alcoholic screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz as he races to finish the screenplay of Citizen Kane.

    I can second that recommendation - I have two pairs of headphones, one of which is noise-cancelling and particularly great for quiet music.
    Headphones really help you to focus and hear the quality they took the trouble to record!

    This reminds me that I recently went from a pricey 200+ dollar pair of Marshall's ( they died ) to a not so pricey ( on sale for 50 dollars ) pair of AKG's. Now I'm no audiophile, but I can't really tell a
    difference :tup2:

    There are several things going on there in my opinion, Sonic - I'll give you the short version!
    Firstly, to be valid, headphones comparisons have to be done side by side, so to speak. Same music, same system settings, listen on one pair, then the other, back and forth, etc..
    Secondly, stuff deteriorates gradually over time, so your old headphones were not finally going to be at their best, whereas the new ones hopefully are?
    Thirdly, technology is improving all the time? The best products get even better, the medium products get great, and the cheap products get surprisingly good?
    Fourthly, anno domini affects people too, and it's a sad fact that hearing is one of the senses that commonly deteriorates with age?

    So by the time we can afford the ultimate in HiFi, it's sad, but our hearing is likely to be past the point of appreciating it?

    Morning

    Overnight news record cold temps in London.
    Yesterday was tough, today is tougher.
    But the positive side of people being cared for.

    Saw the final episode of "The Queen's Gambit".
    [​IMG]
    So good!!! I only wish there was more.

    40 years ago today John Lennon was murdered in New York.
    He was 40 years old.

    John signs a autograph for his killer Mark Chapman just before he left the Dakota building
    for his last interview.
    [​IMG]
    His last interview with BBC Radio 1's Andy Pebbles.
    [​IMG]
    Arriving back at the Dakota building after the interview, taken by Paul Goresh, this the last known photo of John Lennon.
    [​IMG]
    Moments later Chapman fatally shot John 4 times in the chest.

    He died on arrival at the hospital.

    [​IMG]
    John has been dead now for the same amount of time he was on earth.

    :rip: John Lennon

    I remember exactly where I was, student union watching a
    special edition of Monday Night Football and Howard Cosell
    starts to say it and it comes across the bottom of the screen.
    I just somehow ended up outside in the cold crying my eyes out.

    The weirdest thing was there was no anger or thoughts of revenge
    with anybody just sadness.

    All these photographs are to my knowledge were of Dakota aged 18 or over.
    Mods: Please delete any of them if i made a mistake.

    Listening to the Beatles on headphones gives you the opportunity to hear all the different elements, sfx, multi tracking and hidden surprises.

    Morning all!

    If you need a decent pair of headphones that won't break the bank, I highly recommend Audio Technica ATH-M50x.

    My noise-cancelling ones are Bose QuietComfort 25's, and the others are AudioTechnica ATH-A700. I'm very happy with both.
