    <p>Yep. Alan Parsons was the engineer on it. Back in those days he actually had to make a lot of the equipment he used from scratch and invented a lot of the doubletracking techniques that became commonplace.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Nowadays when digital production and engineering tools are commonplace it's probably hard for anyone who wasn't around back in 1973 to realise how groundbreaking DSOTM was. It was apparently bloody hard to make, and the effects were, for back then, mindblowing.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>My mate's dad got it for himself for his birthday but he wasn't allowed to play it through his speakers as the noise upset his wife. So the first time I heard it was at their place and was also the first time I'd even seen a pair of headphones. It's probably not stretching things to say listening to that LP on those headphones changed my life.</p>

    <p>Speaking of DSOTM..</p>

    <p>Exactly what I think. Head office is making a legal case on video that clearly explains to media & public the offense and the prior offenses explaining the decision is simple, justified and not arbitrary. I'd really like to see the bodies governing rugby do the same and post on their own youtube channel.</p>

    <p>Was anyone not cheering the bear on? Unfortunately it looks usable but uncomfortable , if I was stuck with that whining harpy on a trip I would have filled the kayak with fresh salmon and told we'd send someone back to pick her up after the bear shredded her yak. </p>

    <p>You will have to ask Jonah, I seem to remember during his playing days he could never get enough of the stuff. Sure, Mum fed him taro root, but whenever I'd read profiles he was always singing the praises n' pleasures of a bucket of KFC. Go-figure.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>(Full disclosure: I worked my first real part-time job (meaning: not a paper-route) as a "cook" at KFC. $2.15/hour minimum-wage. Probably the worst job of my life. Certainly the lowest paying. I lasted six weeks, then didn't touch let-alone-eat the stuff for another 20 years.).</p>

    <p>Haha, Jonah's eating feats were awesome. Would regularly spend $50 at McDonalds on himself</p>
