Initially it just didn't work very well and sometimes not at all. The second version they sent me worked well, but the 3rd version immediately affec... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Since "Kind of Blue" is being knocked about at the moment I need to ask a question. My digital copy has an odd thing that may or may not be natural. The opening horn is making a sound much like that of spittle being blown through the mouthpiece. I... | |

| Musical Expectation Bias I tend to look at the brain as a "component" with the same issues concerning "wiring," "voltage," "interference" etc. Just because the brain is neurologically wired and runs "wetware" instead of software doesn't mean it is exempt from the same typ... | |
