the other pound sign, as in the number sign
i once quoted a price for something to someone in the UK and it came out wrong on the other end, causing confusion and embarrassment. i typed the pound sign but it came out on that end as a dollar sign. so then i had to go and say 'no i actually was asking for twice as much.'

We have that though. On my KB it shares a key with the tilde. ~

our tilde is left of the '1' and shares with an alternate type of apostrophe. i hate having to switch to a french or french canadian keyboard layout because really basic things get moved around to make way for accented letters.

what is a gargon/gorgon, as in 'im a lyrically dan gargan' (d double i think?) and horsepowers 'gorgon sound'? Thats what it sounds like, guess it could be another word..

You serious?
It's peeled. The word is peeled. Pideeled is merely a derivation of it. You can change it to pideeled or pizelled (like cats do in the street...which is what Ghost did). Peeled as in caps getting peeled (shot up) or literally peeled (left dead and skinless). Depending on what drug cartel (and where they're from) either can happen.

Ah, perfect. That makes much more sense. Thanks!
is that not (mad) cobra's 'gundelero'? where he says 'gundelero' is a new name for rude boys?
as far as i'm aware, bandolero is a mexican spanish term like bandido, meaning bandit - as featured in cowboy/western films etc to refer to the mexican badmen that will rob you as you pass by...
whatever d double says, i think it's generally recognised that ninjaman is the 'original don gorgon', though not strictly speaking original, given that the term predates ninjaman considerably and was used by (i think) cornell campbell in the 70s as well

pt 1
if the odd record distorts a bit or the needle has difficulty tracking during very loud or bass-heavy bits, is it more likely a case of careless mastering on their part or me not having properly adjusted my tonearm, weight, tracking etc? i just rebalanced my tonearms and changed my needles and some records just sound shit.
pt 2
how much tonearm weight do you people generally use?

I am a great disbeliever in hifi and a believer in whatever works.
Some records are mastered too loud and will skip on a good hifi but play ok on a technics 1200
with 5p on top of the cartridge. I've mostly found this with grimey records lately. It's about the bass of course.
I would generally set up a tonearm so that it's just the heavy side of absolutely balanced - ie there is as little downward force as possible on the needle commensurate with it not skipping.
If some records need a bit more, keep a 5p and some blutack handy

yeah i guess that's the best idea. i'm was worried about ploughing holes in my vinly so i don't want to keep the weight on all the time.
it's on 1200s and it's just a few dubstep and grime ones. i was just wondering if i was doing something blatantly wrong. so it is the case then that sometimes they're just pressed too loud or bassy? isn't that what test presses are for?
