I find if I just wait for it to subside, I can eat it without a problem. Yeah I usually just take it as a sign to stop drinking, I get it with alcohol most of the time. But when I was younger, I used to soldier through and it would go away. I dont even know what words to describe it but I'm glad it's not just me.

I have a set of pretty standard wireless can style headphones and some of the vinyl(?) coating on the earpieces is starting to rub off. The manufacturer doesn't sell replacement pads, so I'm looking for covers. I remember seeing ads frequently for covers from some brand that just looked like circles of nylon fabric that stretched over the earpieces, one size fits most kind of operation. Of course now that I need them, I can't find them, and my google fu is weak. What term should I be looking for?

Is there a place to find information on bootleg CDs? I'm not talking about like a burned CD-r, but like unofficial pressed discs. I was doing some media intake at my thrift store and someone donated their decently sized CD collection that was collecting dust somewhere. While I was going through the box, I kept coming across these albums that just didn't look right but I couldn't put my finger on why. The further I looked at it, I realized there was a UPC barcode but no record label credited anywhere on the case or front insert and I realized they were bootleg discs. I don't know if this is still the case but I know at one point in the past, there were some bootlegs that were coveted by collectors but I have no idea what the CD collector landscape looks like these days. I'm sure these ones aren't particularly prized and I'm not trying to get rich off these discs or anything, I'm just curious to know if it would be worthwhile to price them slightly higher than our usual five CDs for a dollar. If I could get a couple extra bucks to the Humane Society for them, I'd like to. Heck, would it even be legal for me to sell them at the thrift store in the first place?

I'd be curious about that too. I always thought that the most coveted bootlegs were of particular live concerts, with surprising recording quality. Like some guy who paid off a sound tech at Madison Square Garden for a board feed to their Nagra tape recorder, or those weird guys who'd walk around with X-Y microphone pairs on their heads at Grateful Dead shows. Would be surprised to learn bootleg copies of just regular old studio albums might be worth anything.

I can't say for sure, but those CDs kind of sound like promos sent out by record labels to radio stations. The disks were often unadorned, and you had to know what was on them. Thanks to knowing someone working at a radio station we got Guns n' Roses Appetite for Destruction before it was released, same with Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine. So it seems possible they are demos/prereleases of regular stuff.

One of them is Dance De Luxe by Prince.

I have been using ear buds a lot more now, in no small part to being unable to have nice cushions on my cups.
