I'm having building work done on the house, top to bottom. I've been living in a building site for weeks. I finally have a finished room so I've moved all my PC's and studio (very amateur music production)equipment in. I now have a netbook, laptop, desktop and a ton of amps, tuners, cd changers etc all blasting away and talking to each other wirelessly in one room. I'm orgasmic.

I'm old.
I'm old enough to think this is wonderful.
Wonderful like witchcraft.

I've stacked up 2 sets of speakers that were previously in separate rooms and now I'm listening to Sade's greatest hits at ear bleeding volume. The walls are leaving.

Love it.

I've got all that speakers in the ceiling and telly's everywhere stuff going in soon, can't wait.

Is this a mid-life crisis issue?
I find myself strangely drawn to electronic magicness.

I think its a great thing - if you live in a detached house away from the neighbours...

No, I'm in a tiny flat on the 22nd floor, and there's a really strange man living beneath me...

Ooooh. It's 'Soul Mining' now, how's that?

I keep turning that round knob to the right waiting for the amp to click out but so far so good.
When you get to my age you have to allow 30 or 40 Db just for deafness, Eh?

I am sure the little man downstairs from you is applauding your decision to invest in such a great sound system and technology.

You'd think so but apparently not. He says he keeps getting pains in his chest. I've wedged the lift door open, I can do without those paramedic c**ts spoiling my buzz.
