I don't think streaming has damaged movie going as much as they put emphasis on. It hurts mediocre/bad movies because it adds to the dozens of other reasons of not going to the theater. People still want to see good movies in the theater. It's just when its so expensive and the movies are mid at best then people stop going.

Hmmm, Brad edits the Ramblecast so there might be something there but I DID replace my pre-processor hardware recently so could be that? -- Vinny

Vinny, your audio is a bit deeper and bassy than the others. Is that a plugin doing that?

The first CD my family bought alongside our first CD player (a monsterous box with a record player on top and 2 tape decks) was Flood by They Might Be Giants because my older brother was a fan. So after those songs were featured on Tiny Tunes, I immediately had access to them as a young child. Which means those 2 songs are forever banned from my mom's house as I played them none stop for weeks.
