Late to the earplug talk, but I really wish someone had told me about the dangers when I was kid. I've never been able to hear bass due to a defect, but now I'm getting older and losing the high end I'm realising that I've always had tinitus and have had to lip read people all my life (and have no chance of hearing a conversation in a resturant due to background noise). I've never actually heard bass as the three bones in the ear that carry bass sounds are fused together. Turns out it's common in our family but none of us realised it because we all just assumed it was normal. That scene in Jurrasic Park with the glass of water always confused me because I thought it was a cool visual but I didn't realise everyone else was hearing footsteps. I honestly thought the bass guitar was what you gave the special kid to feel included. One day someone told me to follow the bass and I had an awkward "wait, that's a thing?" moment  Wear your earplugs, you assholes!

Indeed. Also: When your smartphone's music player or the phone itself warns your rear end that the level is too high while wearing earbuds/headphones, pay heed to the advice, dammit.

Don't forget that even if you don't have ringing or tinitus you can still have hearing loss due to the hair cells losing their neural connections, which is really fun because we've only really just learned about that.

Wark Say posted:Indeed. My own tip - use a pair of in-ear monitors for listening to music on the go, as long as you're not biking or needing to hear other ambient noise. I have a pair of the mid-range Shure ones and they drop the ambient noise level considerably, meaning you don't have to set your volume level nearly as high to hear the music. Also they're cheaper than the headphone brands that spend more getting celebrities to wear them than on sound quality. Only thing they're not good for is if you're jogging or such because you'll get a lot of internal noise from your ears being plugged.

The teal album is an indictment of Weezer as a creative entity. A collection of covers chosen for their internet presence (ie meme-ness) presented so straight they are indistinguishable from the originals. There is nothing about them that could be construed as an artistic voice, it might as well be performed by robots. In the same way, all of Weezers music is on the same old sounds put together in the usual way with nothing added. And I think I like it. this isn't a serious post, please I don't want to get into a debate about loving Weezer  Edit: back half of album is unironically good.

 either someone is sitting there with that in their cart and calling all their friends and family trying to find 80k, or someone from that shop has it in there thinking it will make someone else impulse buy it, but either way the urgency of that little red box makes me laugh

I honestly thought that was 4 random dudes on the Weezer album cover until I looked them up. They haven't aged gracefully but since their aesthetic of their early years doesn't work when you're pushing 50 their current look is weird as poo poo. In other stupid music poo poo, I found the half-wound guitar strings I use in 8 gauge because I have light, bitch-made touch.
