A New Stereophonic Sound Craptacular!

So last night I’m sitting at my desk listening to some Groove Salad and I notice the music is sounding just awesome. Like, it sounds so much better than it ever has. I’m really enjoying it and I can’t figure out what the deal is.

Then I realized I had dropped 2 tabs of strong acid a few hours before and it was really coming on strong.

Okay, not really.

What I realized is that at some point during the day iTunes had gotten switched into it’s new Multiple Speaker mode and the music was coming from my laptop (with it’s shitty little speaker) and my stereo (with it’s giant awesome speakers) at the same time. I normally play my music through my stereo but because of how huge the speakers are they are both to the right of my desk and I don’t get any stereo seperation. Now I was getting mids and highs from my left side on the laptop and lots of lows, mids and highs from my right side on the stereo.
So I messed with the volume on the stereo and laptop a little bit and eventually got it to where I absolutely could not tell where the sound was coming from when I was sitting in my computer chair.

You’d think that someone who spent as much time listening to music as I do would have done something like this years ago but it just never came to mind. Now my mind is awash with buying dozens of Airport Expresseseses and putting speakers all over my house synchronized to the same source. Man, that would kick ass. Normally when I am working elsewhere in the house I turn up my bedroom stereo (We’ll take it slowwwww) to deafening levels so I can hear it wherever I am. It would sure be nice if there were just speakers strategically placed about every 2 feet in the house.

I think this post stopped having a point about two paragraphs ago. I’m just bored. But hey, hooray for iTunes Multiple Speakers support. It’s hot.

Oh, there was another thing.

You know the old thingy “Build a better mousetrap”? Saying, or whatever… Anyway, I decided I can do it. I’ve studied the wily house mouse and I know his ways, and his weaknesses. If you’d like to get in on the ground floor of this venture please send checks with lots of zeros after non-zeros and we’ll work something out.

Shit, “The Call of Ktulu” just came on.
