Week Fifty-Two Merry Christmas from Talk Audio

You know how last week, I said, ‘I have done an experiment with my in-car Christmas tree and found a big berry bulb I have buckets of, will glow like billy-oh in the holders I have!’ Well, not only were they pull-over-mate too bright but they were like Nexus Six Replicants, burning bright only to die young. I went through a dozen of more and am still going through different types, while still keeping what was a piece of ephemera alive with alchemical repairs.

My chum’s young lad and his Kia Piccanto are booked in at Audio In Motion in Bournemouth for one of the quiet days twixt Christmas and the New Year – Saturday. He is getting the Alpine SWE-815 installed, the one I reviewed here.

I did manage to catch up with the JL Audio home review of the F110 and am looking to see if there are ways I might be allowed to publish that and perhaps the F212 one as well, right here, as they are bonkers. But Home Cinema Choice owns my tuchus and if I publish, then they do after me, on their website and there are, despite editorial changes, great swathes of matching words, then they, HCC will be labelled by Google’s searchy stuff as a plagiaristic site. I risked that with the recent article I was sent about the birth of Motorola.

But all provender is gathered in for feasting as if the Mayan Apocalypse was real, (just like every year) and now we are finally ready in the Rayner household. (Awaiting descent of our mates who bring naughty treats at Diwali and are invited to Christmas eve at our gaff each year.) And, having swagged out the Deadmau5 speakers to joyous recipients, who DID get them in time, (made me feel all lurvely) I just wanted to offer my thanks to all the supporters of Talk Audio through 2012.
The ninety thousand plus folks who flow through the forum boards each month, the advertisers whom we term Site Associates and the communities of passionate, driven enthusiastic bass and precision fans. The lovers of Adele so close you could French kiss her in front of your windscreen. The bass that pulls the air from your chest and either makes you giggle like a damn fool, or feel pure atavistic fear. Yes, the nutters who only find like minded souls, real lifers, here on Talk Audio.

It has been my privilege to put the Talk Audio magazine together for another year and it just keeps on getting more and more exciting as technology rushes ever yet faster into the future.

And while I shall save my real hardcore predictive futurology for the inevitable maudlin New Year communiqué next week, Week One of 2013, I shall admit that the obvious one will be ever yet further use of the best processor in your mobile life. And that is not going to be in your sat nav or headunit – even if it is a Parrot – but your phone.

Have a lovely Christmas, don’t eat too much or you will look like me, with all the enormous love of the Ghost of Christmas present.
COME IN AND KNOW ME BETTER, MAN!
