      @Gloria Diamanti
      I respect what I feel like deserves my respect.
      That’s freedom.

      Qatar doesn’t, so I’ll be drinking beer and pissing in their streets.

      @Natty I told you in my other message, I got tangled in my messages and we did not understand. I am European and I defend Western freedom. I don’t like the hypocrisy of the islam.

    Well of course everybody’s pisses off that qatar is hosting the World Cup they’re actively involved in slavery and they support it. 80% of mid eastern nations support slavery. Qatars neighbors also love slaves

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
