What are you listening to right now?


Recommended Posts

It's also the only song we heard over here :(. I have that album and the one after it (Angel Dust? had that pretty swan on the cover) and I think they're VERY cool. I don't know anything else about their stuff, though. I keep reading what you guys say about Tomahawk and some other stuff Mike Patton has done but I've never heard it. :(

Epic is from their album "The Real Thing" which is brilliant. Angel Dust (my favorite) is the one with the swan on the cover you are correct. They have made a good many albums. I don't see why you could not find them in record stores over there? I actually had some of their work imported to down here in Australia so i know it is readily available. They are VERY cool i agree. Mike Patton has an INCREDIBLE voice! :D

:D yep, Faith No More are where it's at. i dunno why u would have problems finding their albums, they are quite easy to find here. :p u already have half the albums with mike patton as there were only 4 of them. the other 2 are "king for a day" (my fave) and "album of the year" ( :cry: thier final album). i think probably u have not heard of his other things because they are not "mainstream" projects. they are on small record lables and don't get much press (not that they would ever be on the radio anyway, exept maybe tomahawk. they are quite different than faith no more, very strange sounding :p ) hope that helps a bit. ;) once u realize how good mike patton is u will be so addicted to his voice

Edit: oops!! forgot to say what i am listening to. Opeth - In My Time of Need

I'm sure their albums are available here, but I really haven't looked recently. Ji@nBing is right about them not being mainstream - if they don't sound like everyone else they DON'T get played in Dayton. I knew more about them when I worked pt in my friend's used record store because he carried a ton if indie artists and I got to hear all sorts of stuff. I'm dling some Tomahawk right now and I'll listen to it when I get my speakers set back up. I really do like Patton's voice...he can do amazing things with it!

I'm not listening to anything right now. I've got one of those Great Chef shows on. They do some pretty strange stuff on that. I need to find a CD or maybe I'll put a Monty Python movie on....

Thanks for the info, Ji@nBing and Keldyn!

:D:D:D:D:D

Quite right about them not being mainstream. The ONLY Faith No More song they play down here in Adelaide is "Easy" which is nice and all, but there are so many other great songs under their name. Our radio stations down here are quite poor really. Anything remotely heavy they will not play. Very sad. I'm just glad a friend was kind enough to introduce me to their music in my college years.

Tomahawk = (Y)

Listening to Faith No More - Last Cup of Sorrow :ninja:

Ji@nbing: Do you like Mr Bungle? lol

Ji@nbing: Do you like Mr Bungle? lol

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
