Are YOU, now, Too Old to BLAST the BLASTED Music?

[GammaGlobulin]

My Dear fELLOW Audiophiles:

 

I am just sitting here wondering if you might, these days, be just too old to blast the blasting blasted music as you once enjoyed when you were a bit younger.

 

As for me, sometimes I still do BLAST AWAY!

 

For example, I have three audio amplifiers, and 10 decent speakers in my abode.

 

And, on rare occasions, I just feel like BLASTING the BLASTED Music....but not too often.

 

What I do is to close all the windows, TURN UP the ACs, FULL BLAST, and then let my Music Rip, and, thereby, Let my Freak Flag Fly....

 

When I first heard this tune, 6 Was 9, just after its release, I was just BLOWN AWAY by it!

I was at the exact right age for it, too.

 

So, anyway, if you were to BLAST AWAY with 6 Was 9 in your Thai wooden house, would the house come tumbling down?

And, WHAT WOULD Your Thai Wife say???????

I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this what you say to yourselves?

 

White Collar Conservative Flashing Down the Street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Man!

 

So, anyway, I am still not too old to BLAST AWAY!

 

But, normally, if there is anything NORMAL in my life, or normal about me.....

I prefer to BLAST AWAY with  .............  JEFF BECK!

 

Fortunately, I live alone.

I have no irritating wife to bother me when I BLAST AWAY....

 

A small price to pay, not having a wife...when....when one is without this BAGGAGE...then on can just....

 

BLAST AWAY at any time of the day or night.

 

Listen carefully...to what I say....folks.

Regards,

Gamma

 

Note:  And, to all you deserters from America out there, or any out there who have likewise DESERTED your HOMECOUNTRY......Listen to Jimi....

 

LET JIMI TAKE OVER!...........!!!!!

 

Or...Let JS BACH...take over....FULL BLAST....

 

UPS TO YOU!

 

 

NOTE2:  I Dedicate this Topic to....The American Deserters Society!  (to paraphrase Jimi)

 

 

NOTE3:  imho....Jimi was a true genius, not just musically.  But, a genius.  Far beyond most ahole Mensa wannabees.

Due to living in a condo, blasting music is off the menu.

Good!

 

But....

 

When you BLAST AWAY with this....just....do NOT forget to....

BATTON DOWN THE HATCHES.....

 

I keep my house completely sealed lest this great music might LEAK OUT...to disturb....my less sensitive....

NEIGHBORS!

 

nEIGHBORS who just might not be from Ireland....

I LOVE Ireland, guys!!!!!!!!!

Always have....
Always will.....

Problem is that as you age, others feel its blasting but you don't!  due to age related hearing loss...555 

 

I prefer to emerse myself in music with headphones, loud as you want an no bother to others !

Yes....but....you just miss the....

POUNDING!

 

At my age, with my hearing loss....it's the...

POUNDING that I enjoy, maybe....

 

Pound Away......I Say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

(Also, being celibate....maybe....this is just the ONLY POUNDING I get, these days.)

 

 

[GammaGlobulin]

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

Anytime I decide to CRANK UP the Volume in my abode....

 

I turn it up HIGH, and then go outside and walk around the perimeter of my property.

I do this to ensure that I am not disturbing others.

 

As you know, I plan to use GAFFERS TAPE to seal my windows tight.

This is the LEAST I can do to be a good neighbor.

 

Also, what I really need is an accurate meter to measure the decibels in my study.

No doubt, I can easily get my ears ringing for the following 24 hours, if I have a mind to do so.

 

(Maybe this Farang DING DONG?)

I'm not surprised at all ! That you live alone, no wife, girlfriend, friend. Maybe a dog or a cat can live with you and your daily word salads.

No dog for me.

 

I leave the dogs for you to enjoy.

I am VERY curious....

 

What headphones are you using...just in case you might not mind sharing.

 

I use the high quality AudioTechnica...phones.

Not the best brand..maybe....

But, due to my age-related hearing loss, which is nothing more than normal for my advanced age....

The AudioTechnica phones are definitely good enough.

 

IF I were much younger, then I could probably benefit from higher-end phones.

 

So, what are you using?

 

And, last but not least, WHAT is your AGE, if you do not mind sharing, Sir?

 

Thank you.

 

Hopefully, you will not shirk from complete candidness in your reply.

 

NOTE:  I really cannot say that you and one other, one whose name begins with a C,  are not among my favorite mods in this world of TV. Therefore, I think I deserve a more candid reply, in this case....

I have changed musical tastes.

 

While most people are trapped in their youth and only listen to music they grew up listening to, I have outgrown most of that music. 

 

Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck guitar solos, most of Led Zeppelin music, is noise to me. 

 

I don't listen to much head-banging stuff anymore. It's noise that causes anxiety to me. 

 

 

[xtrnuno41]

No, im definitely not too old too blast, There are lots of songs, needed to put up volume.

It is also a way of living it, it is different then from a headset. At least is my opinion.

If I could make a wish then I would like to spend some time with  a Nautilus speaker set, but guess a dream.

for that matter way more other speaker sets, a dream.

Put in a lot of music last year in "blast from the past" from Charlie.

Songs with a real pound  Metallica - So what, Roadrunners united - constitution down, 

Moody? have Harry Muskee Band - Lost In Myself, that one has a very long guitar solo, you MUST listen it hard.

Put it in youtube long time ago.

But also songs like Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper or Hollies long tall woman in a black dress.

This life version of Wishbone Ash, I really like, it has a rawer bite.

Never a truer word spoken!

 

And, as for me, JS BACH never grows old.

I have been listening to JS BACH for almost six decades.

NEVER grows old...

And, just so very beautiful, no matter how many times I listen to the same piece.

 

Try the Toccata, is my advice, for one....

 

 

But....

 

BLAST it MAN!

BLAST AWAY with it!

I'm not too old at 90. It's just that my wife has worn my ears out. My grandson now uses my amp for his guitar, because when I try to play my LPs on it the music sounds distorted and quiet. My two nieces treated me to Jabra headphones way back and I listen to my stuff on my computer. The Stranglers. The Animals. Hendrix and Clapton. T Rex etc. But I still like some of the old stuff that I grew up with over the years, Boogie Woogie, and jive from the war years when the Yanks came over to Britain. I still manage to shake my bacon when my granddaughter visits. Not with headphone on of course. Keep on rockin.

[xtrnuno41]

Who wouldnt like to hear this sound hard ! You must turn up the volume !

Love that beat of Gene Krupa.

Thanks. I'll give Bach a listen.

Maybe he truly was 'divinely inspired' and 'channeling God' in his music. 

For all you geeks out there, check out Bach's Bible with notes he wrote in the margins.

Please Note:

 

This is probably my best post during the past three years.

 

So, I hope this effort of mine is dully appreciated.

 

I always do my best, but....

This is the only post that truly measures up.

 

Note:  When I used the word dully, instead of duly, I was using dully intentionally.

 

Or, the word dully might have been a typo.....

Hard to say....

AC/DC has a song called Rock n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution.

But that's precisely what most of this crappy rock music is - Noise Pollution.

[GammaGlobulin]

 

 

Personally, I prefer the piano when listening to the Toccata....but..anyway....

 

This chick is HOT!

 

Note:  If I were younger, I might pay good money to ask her to perform on my key....(organ)

Stratocaster of course. But sounds OK on my telecaster too....with a little reverb.

Then what about this, turn it  up, you almost instantly like to dance. I would be out of breath in no time nowadays.

Guess my father put it all in me, as he liked jazz, south american, country.

Though younger had my own like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, but you change in time and come back with other more kinds of music.

Nowadays listen to many sorts of music, even sometimes cant choose and swap between them.

 

[GammaGlobulin]

Plenty of OLD FOGIES in this audience.

 

Most TV Members in the Farang Pub will feel right at home, is my guess:

 

 

Still.

Such beauty!

Makes the Heart Sing!

 

Enjoy my gift to the Farang Pub!

 

PLEASE NOTE:  I have often stated that the Netherlands Bach Society is something quite special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well thats a personal choice. Nowadays I can sometimes even listen to death, trash metal, grunge, werent favorite for me for long time.

But  then still some are still out of my league. A personal choice.

Has anyone here wondered why I enjoy intentionally misspelling so many words?

 

It's all down to Mr. Lacessit.

 

Mr. Lacessit once stated on this forum that misspellings make him cringe.

 

Ever after, I have done my best to add a few well-placed misspellings in my Topics just to make my good friend cringe.

 

Otherwise, how else could I better make his day, beginning in the AM?

 

I know that he reads my Topics in the mornings, over his coffee.

And so, I would never wish to disappoint him....

 

He knows that my creative spellings of words are intentional.

 

Nails across a chalkboard...

Just to get him started in the mornings, and nothing more.
