I’m a basshead. I say that loudly and proudly, even though some folks believe basshead and audiophile are mutually exclusive. Obviously, I’m not in that camp. But sometimes, I break away from audiophile listening and just want to crank up…
If you grew up in the nineties, like I did, you might remember the whole “virtual pet” fad that swept the nation, sparked by the “Tamagotchi”, a Japanese brand of virtual pet that was arguably the best and likely the most popular of them all.

I got a red and black one for Christmas back in the fifth grade and got it taken away by my teachers a couple times when I forgot to silence it and it beeped at me in the middle of class. Then, one fateful day, it beeped at me in art class and my Art teacher, a guy named Mr. Peterson who was like 6’5”, had a beard like Santa Claus and a handshake that could crush bones, demanded I hand it over. I never saw it again.
