I'm Obsessed with BOSE Headphones




I've been obsessed with BOSE® Headphones for years now. BOSE have always been the highest quality (and most expensive) pair of headphones on the market. When I listen through them, I can FEEL the music better.

I have owned two pair; both "Triports". The first was Bose® around-ear headphones. After 2 years, the male end of the cord broke so I bought a pair of Bose® on-ear headphones which I returned shortly because they were far less comfortable. The sales people were great about the whole thing. Excellent customer service. Read the story here.

But now, I beginning to realize my elitist ways are not necessarily cohesive with my current cash flow situation. And this realization is causing me to question my material values. Mac computers really aren't "better" than PCs. And BOSE products don't really reign supreme in the music listening world. There are plenty of headphones that produce excellent quality sound and are literally small fraction of the price.

One thing that hasn't changed due to this economic hiccup we are all experiencing is my love for good music.

Bands I Currently enjoy listening to:

  • The Cartel
  • Death Cab for Cutie
  • Owl City
  • The Postal Service
  • Snow Patrol
  • Shiny Toy Guns
  • Michael Bublé

    I remember you getting your first Bose headphones a few Christmases ago. Glad you love them.

    I've never heard any of the current bands you listed except the last...

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
