wistful

I wish I had Bren's lyrical ability, or at least some indication that my own actually rates.

So I'm trying to compare two pieces of music, and I figure I'll play 'em on either side of my headphones. I figure out how to run up two copies of my MP3 player, then play the tracks. Pan one to the left. Right side goes totally dead. Check the players. Goddamn things are locked together: either the panning's happening down at the mixer level, or the players are just locked via IPC. Bastards.
