Bogdanovich is the culprit!

After a night of blitz with me, you'll probably conclude I'm subscribed to Hustler 😕

Lol, yes i know, its really irritating when he thinks out loud with rather nasal overtones, in fact, what i have noticed in all the ICC videos that i have seen, is that the sound quality is really quite bad, for you hear the sound of the keyboard when they are sitting in front of the pc, or telephones ringing in the background, sometimes even people outside. in one of Altermans videos you can hear a baby crying, the telephone ringing and the birds singing outside. A proper sound engineer would edit these things out. perhaps they are done on a shoestring, who knows? the thing i like about him is he inspires confidence, he plays these lines himself and gives examples of others top players who play them as well.
