Well, my two-cents worth ended up in THIS POST,  but I couldn't help being reminded of this cartoon (ironically originally seen on the t-shirt of my favorite bar waitress):
 

 
I actually know Pi to at least 18 more digits (from an old memory exercise) and a have goatee so I had a lot of fun teasing her about it.  Turns out she likes dicks me.
 
As for the current discussion, I think everyone just needs to agree to disagree and get back to enjoying music (whatever that means to you).

I think everyone just needs to agree to disagree.

So I should agree to disagree with that? Or I shouldn't. Or shouldn't not. :P
 
Listening to Bach's St. Matthew Passion here.
Coming up next - I don't know.
Maybe Tactical Neural Implant by Front Line Assembly.
Or Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp. 
Or Christian Death.
Or whatever.
 
Music.
 

Hmm...  Goldfrapp.  My frapps are anything but golden, I guess I'll have to go research this one!  (I've already got the rest.  )

The reason why I do not participate on forums much anymore is because yet again more asinine and loopy tit-for-tat. I thought the CH was a safe haven but unfortunately not. May I kindly suggest that from hereon you (both) relax in a whirlpool spa whilst listen to your favorite tracks, ignore each other and agree to disagree okay? If anybody comes across an offensive/insulting post(s) just simply, Report it and let the Bakers handle the loopy dough. 
 
Re: Albums - a thing of the past? 
IMO, the ongoing sad state of the economy, trade ethics and the Internet changed the music scene forever for example:
 
You have online retailers such as itunes and others all selling "Singles", but there are other aspects of the music scene that has taken a battering; areas such as Streaming. And then there are the main media groups - Nowadays, newspapers and magazines have a leaner staff yet still every day they are bombarded by hundreds of “Yo Check it Out Bro” (Parcels, Emails, Tweets and FB posts.) That said; At best, I am sure the music reviewer will skip through most Emails (though they’ll usually readily accept Emails sent by known labels and/or managers) then probably skip through most tracks and then publish their opinion (music review)! More often, if they decide to give an Independent newbie a go they probably get through the first few seconds of the first song and then start ripping their eyeballs out, at that point I think it be time for an indefinite vacation at shady pines. 

Does Shady Pines have a decent music collection and stereo?

LOL! 
I don't know! You're the expert, please share your experience! 

Been checking out Goldfrapp and I'll definitely be listening to them more later tonight (it's just not the right type of music to play while watching college football!  LOL.)  I also did a lookup on Alison and had to laugh at the first paragraph of her biography - it's all over the place!  Here it is:
 

Alison Goldfrapp was born in 1966 in Enfield, Middlesex, England, the youngest of six children. Her father, Nick, had been an army officer, and subsequently worked for Scope and English Heritage. Her mother, Isabella, was a nurse. Goldfrapp's surname is of German origin, and she has German ancestry through her father. While Goldfrapp was growing up, her family moved frequently, eventually settling in Alton, Hampshire, where Goldfrapp attended the independent Alton Convent School. However she was forced to leave at age 12 due to failing the senior exam, and attended the local comprehensive school. At this time she sniffed glue on one occasion and had an incident which involved stealing a tractor. She moved to London, where she lived in a squat, and began using drugs on a regular basis; such as cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy. She then studied art at Middlesex University.

I'm sorry if that affected you Greg, seriously. I value your presence around here. 
 
The fact is that before I logged in this morning, I was going to pm Mosh and ask him if we could just agree to disagree - even if, in all honestly, I still think he's constantly rude.
 
I don't know if you've followed recent threads, but this isn't actually the first time that I and others are being lectured by him, and not the first time I've asked him to not be so judgmental.
 
Then I saw he'd written back a whole patronizing chapter and told me "F*** you!" .
 
Reporting around here seems to serve no good, unless the thread goes on for 10 pages and the TOS is broken a thousand times and lots of people report it. (Famous last words I guess. lol)
 
Therefore, if I'm insulted and continually annoyed by someone who insists in derailing threads I start, I'll stand up for myself.
 
So I am telling you Greg, if this really annoys you, report me. Because as long as Mosh lectures me, I'll talk back. And if he tells me to F*** off, I'll talk back.

:) Glad I mentioned them.
 
Felt Mountain is one of my all time favourite albums. There's such a vibe to that record.
