I'm sorry guys, my bias was all fucked up to high heaven.  No idea what the hell happened.  The distortion was probably awful. Sorry peeps.  Yikes.

Haha it took me a while what the hell was going on with that.  Why was this monitor making everything go MUTE.  What the fuck was going on.  Hah!  And then...and then.  Oh Sweet Jesus! How DID that sound! That was an internet delayed monitor.

A sin that can be forgiven.  Whether or not Steve would approve of me blorping his music out a digital/analog hybrid chain, I do not know! But that's okay!

Sometimes, the modulator exposes you as a fraud, sometimes, the modulator shows you have no pants.  I have no pants?  :-X

One song I did recognise was Dirty Work by Steely Dan
