![]() Two of his so called best friends(Rick and Roosevelt) tried their best to sleep with me. Even if that's not the case, it's still not his business. If you know that you may want another chance with your ex later, he doesnt need to know about what's happening with you and his best friend. It seems that the sex with your new guy is better because you dont turn down his advances. He has no business knowing anything about your sex life, or vice versa. What do you think we should do, tell him now, tell him later or not at all and just keep it between us? It would be slightly hard as some of our friends already know as they figured it out when we went to his house.Īny advice would be great, thanks so much guys. So I guess my question is, should we tell him? I think he’s still planning to hang out and hook up sometimes, but mostly just get close as he said he missed me as a friend. Now my ex is a very impulsive person, and god knows what will happen when he finds out. He said that he doesn’t want to tell him yet, but that he’s planning to once him and his current gf get more serious. It’s like I’m familiar with it all even though we’re just hooking up, it still makes me feel like I don’t need to start anything new or unfamiliar just yet, especially since I hate change. And I feel like I’m over my ex, but since they’re best friends it makes me feel comfortable kind of being in the same zone, I don’t know how to explain it ☹️ ![]() But something about it makes me feel so good. I don’t know why I keep doing thing, I feel like I shouldn’t since he’s my ex’s best friend. It was grand, just talking away and having a laugh etc (except he kept putting his hand on my thigh like when he laughed and stuff?!)Īnyway, as we were parked and just done eating he went in to kiss me and things got super heated and we ended up having sex again. I picked him up, we got food and drove around for a bit till we parked to eat our food. I was thinking we’ll just stay friends only now and that it was just a one time thing.until he asked me last night if I can pick him up after a party so I agreed. And we carried on talking ever since, kind of casual I guess I’m not even sure? Hahah I woke up the next morning to a few texts from him, just asking if I got home ok etc. Keeping in mind that out of all of them, Kevin was my ex”s best friend.Īfter a while my friends told me we’re all going home, so I agreed. We went up and had a few more drinks, next thing you know I’m having sex with Kevin. When the club closed, him and a few of the friends asked me and my friends if we wanted to go back to Kevins so Ofcourse we agreed. So I started talking to Kevin and that whole crew (my ex stayed out of it and was with his gf somewhere) anyway me and Kevin started getting very close again and started planning nights out when we go back to uni and dancing etc. It’s a popular club where I live especially after all the university students come back so it wasn’t unusual that we would run into eachother. We got back on the same day, I went out with my friends to a party and he went out with all them and my ex etc. Up until when we both came home for Christmas. We haven’t really talked much since I moved to uni, despite being in the same city. It so happened I moved to that same city for university this year aswell (completely unintentional, it’s just a popular university to go to from where I live) ![]() Let’s name him Kevin.Īnyway, Kevin moved to a different city for university a year ago which is about an hour away on the plane. ![]() Long story, we have eachother blocked on everything and haven’t been in touch and I’m feeling really good finally.Īnyway, I was always very close with his Male friends, there’s about 7 of them and they’re all really close, up until now when I see them in a club or in the town they always come up and talk to me even if they’re with him (he stays away) and basically always end up staying with me and my friends all night.īut there was this one specific friend of his that I always got along better with, but it was always platonic only and never flirtatious or anything just got along really well as friends. We still talked and tried to work things out until about 3 months ago when I found out he has a new girlfriend, it was quite sudden as I asked him frequently if anything is happening between them and he always denied until SHE texted me to leave him alone. So me and my now ex boyfriend broke up about 8 months ago now, we were together for 2 years and we were pretty serious. Okay so a little bit of background incase you haven’t read any of my previous threads, thanks )

![]() As a result, they can have a spontaneous quality and occasionally offer speculations about future plot developments that were eventually validated or proven wrong (sometimes wildly so). Most of them were written in the moment, without the benefit of an advance screener, and often published within hours of an episode’s debut. I recapped the series beginning in season five and continued through the finale. ( Editor’s note: Vulture was slow to catch on to Mad Men and did not recap season one.) Recaps of seasons two through four were written by my former colleague Logan Hill, who preceded me at Vulture on this particular beat. For those seeking a critical companion, we’ve gathered the best of our Mad Men coverage in one place. The season-one recaps here are republished from Mad Men Carousel. ![]() The fifth anniversary of the series finale this month coincides with a global pandemic, during which many viewers are revisiting the show, or watching it for the first time. It’s exciting, sexy, sometimes sad, but above all else, it’s funny: a show that inflicts so much darkness on its characters is obligated to offer a bit of light as compensation, otherwise we wouldn’t go near it. And at every level - the scene, the episode, the season, and in total - it is a masterpiece of construction, filled with major and minor bits of foreshadowing and recollection, lines and images seeming to answer each other across time.Īnd even as it manages to do, and be, all of these things and others, it entertains. It’s also a series with an unusually strong affinity for mythology, spirituality, religion, psychoanalysis, pop psychology, literature, poetry, cinema, and all the other means by which human experience is transformed into narrative. It’s a psychodrama about how our personalities are shaped by our parents, our lovers, our friends, our bosses, and everyone else we know, as well as by people we’ve never met but feel as if we know: the politicians, civil-rights leaders, athletes, movie stars, musicians, and other icons who inspire, entertain, confound, and sometimes anger us as we muddle through our daily lives. ![]() It’s a drama about how individuals are and are not affected by the local, national, and international history that’s constantly unfolding around them. Because Mad Men is built to last.Įvery episode is packed with comic and dramatic moments period-accurate clothes and hairstyles and music imaginative, hilarious, often deeply moving performances and screenwriting that depicts the complexities and contradictions of the human personality with more insight and empathy than any American series to date. Given all this, when I decided to publish a book about the show, Mad Men Carousel - and then, years later, during the 2020 pandemic, started writing about the series yet again - my friends would ask, “Haven’t you had enough?” Throughout season seven, I went on radio programs and podcasts to talk about the show. I published longer essays about the series in the print edition of New York Magazine, and stand-alone pieces in other venues. I wrote episode reviews for Vulture and The New Republic. ![]() ![]() So what do you do? Who do you listen to? Which DAW is best and most professional? The answer is pretty simple, and actually should be a go-to method for dealing with these all too common situations of polarizing opinions… you need to ignore them and listen to your own damn self! The problem is that the next day you read a forum or have a different producer friend you equally respect say the exact opposite. Whatever your reason *why* is for wanting to become proficient in a DAW, odds are you have already been in that awkward position of having to blankly smile and nod as your nerdy “producer” friend goes on an unanswered rant about how shitty _ DAW is compared to _ DAW. Maybe you’re looking for the easiest path towards being able to start tracking your own vocals at home, or maybe you want to finally be able to get a demo idea down rather than hiring someone like me to get the initial idea going, maybe you’re wanting to learn how to mix and master your own tracks, or maybe you’ve found a new passion for producing and want to go all in to learn the main tool that we all use to create music we love. Which means you need to level up your DAW chops and I totally recognize you might be a bit overwhelmed by all the options and all the strong opinions out there. However, if you’re like a lot of my clients and collaborators (mainly songwriters, vocalists, independent artists trying to grow their career), then you might find yourself on the cusp of diving head first into the world of music production. A tool whose effectiveness depends more on the person using it than on the specific software specs and features. At the end of the day, a digital audio workstation is a tool to help you fulfill the vision of your song. ![]() We’re music producers after all, not music software salespeople… right? I’d even go as far to say that anyone who is actively going out of their way to shit on other major DAWs is probably an amateur and likely not worth listening to. Time we could all be spending getting to know the one that is the most intuitive and more relevant to our own work. In fact, I think the entire “this DAW is SO MUCH BETTER than that DAW” kerfuffle and jabbing is a massive waste of time. Each of the major DAWs have evolved, and the software developers are so incestuious, to the point where it is exceptionally rare to be able to do one thing in a DAW and not be able to find a way to do that exact same thing in all the others. Let me first say that this whole debate over which DAW is *best*… It's pretty much pointless now. What’s with the long post? Can’t you just tell me what to buy? One of the most heated debates in the world of music production is that of the Digital Audio Workstation, or as some call it, the DAW wars. Yellowstone has over 500 of them, shooting hot water and steam high into the air.

It was interesting to observe my own choices, and those of others, when addressing different family members - at times, it felt like I was hearing a hierarchy unravel. From least to most formal, there’s ‘tu’, ‘tum’ and ‘aap’. I remember reflecting, for example, on the different ways to communicate ‘you’ in Hindi. I was, and still am, fascinated by the ability of language to shape the way we think. ![]() It took longer than I expected to adjust to thinking in Hindi, but I think that initial frustration allowed me to appreciate even more the enriching experience of perceiving the world in more than one language. ![]() As a result of the pandemic, though, it had been about four years since I’d last visited and had to converse in a language other than English. I understand Sindhi but struggle to speak it so usually rely on Hindi to communicate. I started writing it when I was in India visiting family who speak Hindi and Sindhi. Yes, I was thinking a lot about language whilst writing this poem. Were you thinking on these ideas while writing the poem? It feels enriching to have a diverse understanding of language though. This poem is devoted to exploring language, and how we might feel differently if the thing we eat is called a “papaya” or “papeeta”. ’That brief moment after ‘still’ - where we imagine a motionless bull, wonder if it’s god - is, I think, a beautiful example of the magic a line break can create. I recently re-read his poem, The Bull, and was struck by the intentionality of the enjambment, especially in the lines, Ocean Vuong in particular is a poet whose use of enjambment I really admire. I’m also often thinking about which words I want to emphasise by placing them at the end of a line - is there an image or question I want the reader to hang onto? Otherwise, is there a way I can use the line break to create surprise or double meaning? These are all ideas I’ve picked up from reading and speaking to other poets. Other times, if it suits the feeling of the poem, I might look to deliberately break the line where it feels less natural. I usually read aloud whilst writing and sometimes simply break the line where it feels most natural to pause. For me, there are a few different factors that come into play when I’m deciding line breaks. I’m wondering now which sounds and songs might later remind me of this current time in my life…but perhaps that’s a tangent for another day. Interestingly, these sonic markers of time and place weren’t something I could have predicted them becoming. Himesh Reshammiya’s song, Jhalak Dikhla Ja, to Ajmer, where my cousin once convinced me that singing it would invite ghosts. ![]() The scream of a fox, to our old home in Ilford. ![]() For me, for example, the hum of a sewing machine always carries me to my sister’s bedroom in Essex. This entry into the poem, with its use of the word ‘again’, also speaks to how familiar we can become with certain sounds and the journeys they take us on. I love that sound is an active subject here, transporting the speaker without permission. That takes me from myself Seán Hewitt, ‘Tawny Owl in Fog’ This use of sound isn’t unique to my own writing, of course a poem that springs to mind is Seán Hewitt’s Tawny Owl in Fog, which begins, I suppose I conjure sound in my writing, then, as a means of connecting to places and people, especially when I’m physically distant from them. I think this longing for sound is indicative of its ability to respond to or evoke emotion and memory, which might then evoke other senses too. I often find myself craving specific albums, voices of loved ones or sounds of objects like the ceiling fan in my poem. What a fascinating workshop! And yes, absolutely - sound and music play a huge role in my life. I think this poem does that in descriptions of feeling a finger scratching or seeing a person shuffling – there are also sounds here! Is sound and music important to you generally? I remember years ago doing a workshop with the poet, Joanna Klink, and she talked about how you can create sound in a poem through describing the other senses. In this poem, sound seems to be very important, and you evoke it directly and indirectly. ![]() Nonetheless, the streaming quality on iOS and Android devices was solid. There’s also a customizable EQ, but it’s a bit more complex than some other EQs as it uses unusual terms to describe level and frequency adjustment parameters that may make casual listeners feel overwhelmed.įor the W240TN to come with only SBC codec support seems silly, especially when numerous other wireless earbuds come programmed with AAC and aptX. I preferred Dynamic because it gave treble and percussion more prominence on melodic tracks the double bass and drums were more distinctive on Jazz classics like Cannonball Adderley’s “One For Daddy-O.” Classic creates a more balanced listening experience that’s suitable for classical and “light music,” whereas Dynamic emphasizes the low end on contemporary songs. Drums had significant punch to them, hi-hats felt like they were being tapped right next to my ear, and the iconic guitar riff sounded so delicate, you could hear fingertip friction.Įdifier added two well-engineered presets, which cater to specific music genres. The reproduction on this track was even more remarkable. Hearing the piano key gaffe and Sting’s laugh at the start of The Police’s “Roxanne” showed me the W240TN could pick up imperfections and present them much more clearly than some mid- and high-range models. The dual dynamic drivers (6mm + 10mm) produce a compelling sound with a terrific frequency range. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) Edifier W240TN review: Sound quality Bixby was somewhere in the middle, understanding complex inquiries, yet struggling with simple ones like “open camera,” which it misinterpreted for “open calendar.” Siri operated poorly on macOS, only registering the first word of my commands. Everything I threw at Google’s AI bot was met with speedy and accurate results. Google Assistant, Siri, and Bixby are available for voice commands, but only the former works well. Something else missing is wear detection to automatically pause music when removing the buds or resume playback when placed back on your ears. In fact, the companion app makes zero mention of it you’ll learn through trial and error that it’s for play/pause. It’s odd that Edifier doesn’t let you assign the single-press controls. You can’t assign functions individually to each bud, so if you set the double-press for volume down, this will apply to both buds. First, only the double, triple, and long-hold touch are customized. There are a few issues with the control scheme. You get two settings - Call Mode Active and Inactive - to set up how you want to use the controls on or off phone calls. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) Edifier W240TN review: Controls and digital assistantĮdifier loaded the W240TN with plenty of controls, including playback, call management, volume, digital assistance, and listening mode activation. ![]() However, adjusting the buds properly guarantees optimal fit. People with small, medium, or large-sized ears have several ear tips to choose from that form a tight seal around the canal. I would often wear the buds for three hours straight before experiencing any fatigue around the concha.
