Subj: Times, they are a changin'

...when it comes to a

clean final mix, we need to keep trying to build the perfect beast.

 

Try a/b/c-ing a mix off of 1/4" 2-track, 16-bit dat, and 24-bit digital. If

you don't hear a difference go buy some q-tips.

Hey Ave,

 

I just picked up some 24-bit Q-tips. Man, you won't believe these things.

You can hear things you didn't even know were going on. Being able to hear

things 150 dB down is scary. You can tell when someone flushes a toilet in

the next county! (Is that a good thing?) Anyway, you gotta try 'em out.

In all seriousness, I recently used some "ear candles" to clean out my ears.

A friend suggested I try them and they are incredible. I did one ear at a

time to see if there was a substancial difference and I could hear incredibly

better after using one. It's a pretty gross concept ( you take a funnel

type object made of wax & cloth, stick it in your ear and light it on fire !!

), the fire causes a vacuum that draws all the gunk from your ears. (no, you

can't smoke it afterwards...). Everyone thinks they have clean ears, but

this thing gets the stuff all the way inside the ear, past the visible/q-tip

range.

Then after you've lit up your ears, you light your hair on fire and drive to

Cleveland to check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That's where all the

other people who light their hair on fire are.

 

Seriously I have heard of this before, but I'm reluctant to try anything

that involves my ears (my livelihood) and fire at the same time. Other than

listening to John Denver songs around a campfire. (God rest his soul).

You're such a bloody gear whore, Lynn. You dug your own hole on this one.

Didn't you read the incompatibility list with all of the brands of rubbing

alcohol? Johnson and Johnson doesn't plan on shipping version 1.04 of the

q-tip until after aes next year? Ha ha ha ha.

OK y'all here's the scoop on ears.

 

I have read stuff about the ear candles and understand that they do work.

Now here's the stupid trivia part. And this is true -- look it up.

 

You have all heard the old saying "clean your ears or you will grow potatos

in them" (if not, just bear with me). WELL, here's the funny trivia -- ear

wax is a form of suberin (e.g. wax type) and as luck would have it the waxy

coating on potatos is also a form of suberin. Pretty neat huh? No you have

useless biology trivia at your fingertips.

You're bloody well right. I didn't check the compatability disclaimer on the

Q-tips label and after swabbing gratuitously for 10 minutes with the old

version alcohol, (followed by a latency period of 2 hours, also described in

the compatability documentation), I awoke to find flames shooting out of my

ears. Is that poetic justice or what?

<<Yea, that sounds kind of uncomfortable/dangerous, but you've perked my

interest. Where can I pick up a pair of these bad oscars?

Oh, and I'll spark one of them up despite your warning, and I'll relay any

findings assuming I can find the computer.>>

 

Just make sure and videotape the whole thing so that we can distribute

bootlegged copies over the internet.

Is that what those brown things are I keep finding in my ears? I've heard of

couch potatoes, but ear potatoes? Man, this is gonna be big. I can see it

now. The Lynn Fuston Ear Potato removal kit. (Ron Popeil, eat your heart

out).
