Big Mick... The MAN! The LEGEND! The bespoke fifth METALLICA member.

excellent, thank you

At Arctangent they do a silent disco where you hire out the headphones. I've loved it personally. I can tailor the volume from anywhere rather than having to move back if I want it quieter and I can turn it off when I want to go to the bar to grab a drink or chat to some friends.

If you're not on the Mars Volta channel, you're on the wrong channel!

Some people say this is the future for many reasons. However imo nothign can beat the impact and quality of a nice large pa. However thats the only real upside of a PA

12:40 , Hurley from "Lost", stumbles into the shot and proceeds to sit down and spark up Doobee n check his phone in an obsessive nature having ZERO concept, as always, that he's a complete Idiot n paid too much, given his general awareness of whats going on around him..
Nice one, Hurley!
