Grinding is good.

Yeah.

I think I'll go put on some Las Vegas Grind right now.

I tried to do that last night
but someone was too tired from moving.

Maybe thats what I need.

Man, my ass has been dragging lately.

Pilfering Absomph's medicine cabinet?

Mogwai - Come on Die Young

Listening to myself trying to play Hendrix's little wing. What a train wreck.

Slint - Spiderland

Bettie Serveert -- Bare Stripped Naked

I'm listening to a bit of everything today.
I still don't have my desktop restored with my 5000 music files on it,
but I dug out all my backup mp3s today and I have about half of it restored.

Don Cabalerro
Mercury Program

Fuck, I wasted a perfectly good mouse click.

Thanks for taking one for the team.

They grow on trees.

The neighborhood dogs and cats successfully got a restraining order when I wuz trying to learn it.

The most underated album of all time,
my nomination:

Screaming Trees
Uncle Anesthesia

Also the first Buck Pets album kicked ass.

Listening to Aretha Franklin and feeling powerful as a woman.

Me too.

After many hours of tweaking I got a good handle on it. I actually preformed a Hendrix medley at open mike yesterday. Hey Joe, Purple haze and little wing. It was well received. Just me and my Martin D-18 GE.

Can

"Take a Letter Maria."



In my case, Maria's name is Victor.

Betterer:

"Are you a Hypnotist?"

The Flaming Lips

"Never mind the Bullocks" for the first time in a while.

Hold on, there's knock...


(oh, that's why)

New Monkey - Elliott Smith

Undercurrent - Bill Evans/Jim Hall

damn...

New Chemical Brothers
and Mark Ronson.

I'm kewl.

So far it is Dżipago who use famous tunes with Polish very sarcastic and uncensored lyrics dealing with drinking, village life, very to the point.

These recordings come from early 90's but still reflect the socio-political situation here.

Also I am listening to some Polish hits from 60's/70's like "Mexicana".

I think those tunes,
even though I have
no fuckin' idea what
the fuck they sound
like, would make a
perfect soundtrack
to reading your
posts.

Sure they would.

Isn't Górecki reflecting your sociopolitical situation? Your tragedy? Your goat song?

You can lure a
goat w/song?

Taking goat-wooing tips from Jellyfrish?

I have a hard time imagining Tits luring a goat with a song.

Hartsmar can.

Why not Tits also?

"Six" by All That Remains.

I'm going through a metal phase right now. Earlier it was Megadeth Hangar 18, then Ozzy Bark at the Moon, and then Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast. Fuck yeah. And I don't care what anybody says, Jake E. Lee is as good as, if not better than Randy Rhodes.

We Swedes are reputed to be very good at it. We've been doing it for centuries in the outskirts of Copenhagen. One of our great thinkers wrote a treatise on the subject: The Birth of Goat Song out of the Spirit of Archaic Whining.

He used to, but has not got promoted enough and very few people know the guy really exists if is very talented one.

Rubik is playing on nation's virtues and vices as he went too CO and is regarded a star, though a norom™. Previously, it was Penderecki. All in all, we can talk of Polish patriotic classical music renaissance, not in the vein of Szopen but close.



Sure. The first Rychlak that came to Poland was from Sweden.

No, I mean what are you listening too?
Hafler?
Klipsch?
Mcintosh MR 77 (my personal favorite)
Hi fidelity is on eBay,
whatda you got?

I can't believe the money people pay for xit equipment,
for a fraction of the cost you can listen to the real deal,
they just don't make that stuff anymore,
for under 20K.

I tell you this now,
because I've already harvested all I wanted from eBay,
look up;
low distortion can be cheap.

High distortion
is free:

Sky Blue -- Maria Schneider Orchestra. Highly recommended. Maria Schneider is the best orchestral jazz composer working today and one of the finest composers in any genre. Her use of the ArtistShare fan-funding is a welcome alternative to the usual record corp sponsorship (with corresponding lack of artistic and financial control).

Moody Blues Octave

Klipsch Heresy(s) driven by a Sony STR-5800Sd (probably one watt peak right now, 32mW average power) with a Pioneer CT-S609R cassette deck.

Drinking a glass of pBerger (pseudo-Berger).

I havn't listened to this tape in ages.

No one's listened
to cassette tape
in ages.

My brother had
some Heresies.
Great soundin'
little speakers.

When I got out of the NAVY in 1975 and went back to Tech School (Midlands on Rosewood ave in Columbia SC).

I Got to be friends with Phil Greenway. After a year he transfered to Clemson. He came back on break in Dec 76 and told me I should transfer, so I went to the Burser's office at Clemson and asked for an application. When I told them I was on the GI bill, the attendant stamped an application "APPROVED" and handed it to me. So, I transfered to Clemson. We lived in a trailer by the railroad track. I cooked, and he washed dishes. We agreed no one got stoned on week days. It worked out well. He also had a set of Klipsch Heresey speakers with a Crown DCA150 amp. I stashed my Panasonic receiver and Kenwood KL-5050 speakers.

Any way he left during the summer of 77 and went back to Cola while I stayed at Clemson and went all year round.

When he left I hooked up my system I realized how bad it sounded. The speakers were OK, but not great. The receiver sucked. So I bought a new system. I kept the Kenwoods and still have them. They are in the garage hooked up to a car stereo that sets on the work bench.

Back in 97 after I got divorced, a friend said he had a set of speakers he wanted to sell. I went by to look at them and they were Hereseys. I got the second pair for less than half what I paid in 77 for the first pair.

I have one set in the computer room and a second set down stairs hooked up to the stereo that doubles for the sound system for the TV.

Those Klipsch are hard to beat, I've got the RB 81's.
Pick up a Hafler DH 200 or DH 220 for a power amp, you can get them for around $100, .003 thd. While you're at it, get the DH 110 or 100 pre amp (@75-100$)
and the DH 330 tuner ($75), hard to beat for under 15K.
Don't mess with any of the later Hafler stuff, the SE, Iris etc., total crap.
