shell (cell phone rant)

[stephen barncard]

Which is my point. Between You Toob and MP3s and cell phones, the 'general
public' is often only exposed to distorted (and disfigured) sound and video
sources -- the 'dumbing down' of quality to where there is no quality
reference available and so this noise ends up being what is considered
'acceptable'.

For someone like me who has worked with quality audio for 50 years, it's
painful. I don't tolerate bad sound in clubs either - I will walk out.
"The Rickshaw Stop" in  San Francisco was one of the worst I have ever heard
in my life.  Brick Wall Limiting and kill sound levels combined. No
dynamics. Acoustic songs and Electric rockers all sound alike in a painful
collage of pain.  And I had my 25db pro earplugs in and still couldn't
escape the pain.  All these people will be SO deaf in about 5 years. Sad.
Nobody seems to care.

 And one of the best sounding venues in town is the old Fillmore (and both
Yoshi's nightclubs)
