But every time I go to take the record off the turn-table it starts to melt. THAT'S why the last album has been playing for the past 3 hours. And someone needs to go get the broom and dustpan.... all those notes are starting to pile up and block the door. And all the dip is gone.

/and i smashed the mirror to save us from those evil creatures that live in it

It's a neat idea, actually.

Hooray! Brilliant Pebbles and Monster Cables thread! Guys, you start, I'll get a couple bags of chips!

CaptainWes: Theaetetus: It's a neat idea, actually.

What, dropping some acid, or the hi-fi?

The idea of using a scanning laser to measure air pressure changes that indicate cancellation locations with two drivers.

What was that box that you could buy for $600.00+ that would do what these Brilliant Pebbles claim to do?

I've had synesthesia for as long as I can remember, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies....

Seeing sound is nothing new: The ability to see sound is a form of "Synesthesia" and music/color is the most common form. There's also number/color, letter/color, word/shape, word/taste, scent/color, taste/shape and more. Any one of the five senses can stimulate another sense. . Several musicians have publicly admitted to color/music synesthesia -Andy McClusky of Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark has talked about using color and patterns to help write music -the sign of a true synesthete. It's not know if this is a processing error, a cognitive error or a perceptual error. Whichever it is doesn't matter: when you see sound listening to many types of music can be like a drug trip without the drugs.

From a support group for synesthesia: Synesthesia: sensation produced at a point other than or remote from the point of stimulation, as of color from hearing a certain sound. An involuntary joining in which the real information of one sense is accompanied by a perception in another sense.

/Florence and the Machine is Purple and other jewel colors all clearly defined.
//Mozart is Gold and Red.
///Lady Gaga is muddy swirls of greys and browns with no definition between the colors
///Katy Perry is black and red zig zags with strobing edges that give me migraines

Dear God, do NOT listen to subby! DO NOT TAKE THE BROWN ACID!!!!!

Hector Remarkable: Dear God, do NOT listen to subby! DO NOT TAKE THE BROWN ACID!!!!!

Oh great. Now you tell me. What am I supposed to do for the next 8 hours?

Neat. You still have to treat the room accordingly to make the most of this sort of analysis however.

Too bad that the average consumer is perfectly happy with sound quality getting worse (or, willing to trading quality for convienence / portability) rather than better.

Seeing sound?.... That's doctor approved.

if you're listening to music but not watching a spectrograph, you're missing half the trip

I don't know about seeing sound. I did hear the color blue once when doing mushrooms. Whoa.

Raug the Dwarf: I've had synesthesia for as long as I can remember, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies....

Same here.

I have grapheme and ordinal linguistic personification synathesia, which are the common ones.

It wasn't until a few years ago when I stumbled on an article about it that i realized there was anything unusual about it.

I just assumed everyone had it.

I've always felt the announcement at Woodstock was a crass attempt to horde all the good shiate.

When you have synesthesia, you don't need acid.

TheHopeDiamond: When you have synesthesia, you don't need acid.

P. S. Sound - to - color mostly, with a dash of one I don't read about often; I can easily visualize intangible things. For example, I know exactly what a year looks like.
