  1. ...plus some of us just don't want to drop our pants on a playground run by scumbag Fuckerberg.
  2. Until late '94, you could've come over to my store in Carrollton and get every Hat release available on disc (as well as most of the FMPs and other creative music labels). They were amazingly great selling items considering it was North Texas. A few years later, a guy who I'd introduced to the Hat stuff got a job as a buyer for Borders and stocked the first store up on massive quantities of Hat titles. Most of them just sat until his bosses ordered them to the discount bins, so there was another opportunity during that time to get your hands on a lot of excellent discs.
  3. Didn't know his work, but he had a very important message for us men.
  4. I'm not seeing any "smile" emoticons, so I'm guessing you're serious about this. So, what makes this instance of British vs American English different from any others? It would be like saying that "al-u-MIN-i-um" is the definitive pronunciation for all. Period.
  5. Beals shows up at the beginning of this clip and also starting about 20:30.
  6. Those of you who are older (and, I'll presume, American) may remember the very youthful voice of Dick Beals.
  7. It all depends on your setup really. In a minute, I can feed six discs into my dash and let 'em play for a week, for instance, or press one button on the iPod (before even starting the car) and let it go untouched - placed, unseen, in the armrest compartment. Both can run untouched for as long as desired.
  8. Yes, apparently, Randy Brecker
  9. The only time that I use the 6-disc unit in the Prius is when I want to listen to mixes that I do for a local restaurant - otherwise, it's the 160 GB iPod with stuff chosen by iTunes. For me, the ultimate will be when I can just stream anytime from my personal collection. Maybe with the next car.
  10. In 1987, he was invited to a White House dinner by Ronald Reagan...
  11. Yes! Actually, I'm doing that right now with a friend's tape sent from Norway. Mangled bits of old performances, carefully reconstructed, them transferred to disc with both being sent back to him.
  12. done busted loose...
  13. Wow! That was really nice! Most enjoyable music video I've seen in quite a while. A bit of an abrupt ending, but, still fun and creative. It kind of took me away from the actual song, but still a nice job. Thanks for that!
  14. Thanks for the videos. Interesting that the album beat out Jackson's Thriller on the Dutch charts - and that bit in the article about it staying on the charts for two years and then removed due to the law (?) that says that an album can't be on the charts for more than two years.
  15. Hank Mobley on Blue Note
  16. I think this is good too. Many people seem to eat until they feel it - with that particular time steadily increasing with the slow expansion of the stomach. Generally, you're not supposed to be aware of your body parts: aware of your eyes by seeing spots or hearing your ears as they ring or having muscles that are sore, for example, are not desired, so why would you want to eat to the point when you actually feel your stomach? Drinking a good amount of water is a smart idea: good for the skin, digestion, and just as a general restorative method - especially as you get older.
  17. Quote Investigator (tho I do prefer the N+11 Oulipo version: "Talking about nature is like daylight about art." )
  18. Ad for a bowling alley. You have to wonder if the ad copyist had any idea...
  19. You can do all kinds of things in the water, but this would be a real waste of a nice bathing suit...
  20. Well, they certainly are making a decent living and gain lots of attention thru NPR. Don't know if it's their only gig, but they are certainly trotted out with extended strides during the Beg-a-thons. One of the reasons we got a Squeezebox (accordion) was because we were ready to upchuck every time we had to hear Sedaris' "Billie Holiday" shtick for the umpteenth time (as well as during the NPR fawning right-of-center false equivalencies). As for Mr. Glib's House of Black Music/White People Dichotomies, I'll defer to "Tyler" on this one.
  21. Goodster, Like usual, you're at your height of illogic. Next time I need some tables turned, I'll see if you're available.
