  1. What I find that you have to do is to post, or begin to post, your response, then edit the quote. It doesn't work the other way around, at least not on my rig.
  2. The beatheads dig Chico. For real. Are there beatheads where you live?
  3. The man's sound was so big that it took those bigass grooves to properly capture all of it. People don't often think about Pres as having a "big" sound, but dude, he moved some air. Maybe even more than some, maybe even all. Lots of air either way. Just not as "brightly" as people had before. He maybe "sounds" "ethereal" or some such, but its really about as "ethereal" as getting swallowed up, totally swallowed up by somebody's soul coming over you through the vibrations of air not of your own making. It doesn't hit you, it envelopes you. If it was unholy, it would be like getting slimed, but it's not unholy. It's Lester Young. No slime involved, and besides, slime don't penetrate. Lester Young does. Lester Young can fuck you up like that. But anyway, that's why them bigass grooves deliver the goods more better - because there's that much soundair there, if not even more.

  5. They're still there, hardware & software both, and barring the occasional true "collectable" for not a whole lot of money. We've got a few local places where you can buy an old NES console w/controllers & connectors for between 50-75 bucks, warrantied. Games are usually 5 bucks or less. And don't even get started with emulators...
  6. Andrew Luck Friar Tuck Joe Buck
  7. Etta Jones Etta James Etta Jenks
  8. Tiffany Jules Holland Dutch Dooley
  9. Whatever happened to...
  10. Is #15 "Close Enough For Love"? No, that's not it.
  11. Here's some free baseball cards! http://www.sbnation.com/2013/3/7/4070794/sb-nation-baseball-cards-2013-set http://www.sbnation.com/2013/3/14/4100572/sb-nation-baseball-cards-bad-players-and-dead-animals I particularly like these:
  12. The Mansfield Flora (sounds like a WNBA team!) is always stunning as presented through your lens, but this one strikes me as peculiarly "American".
  13. Ah, Shelley!
  14. The Nameless Sound website has a link to their PayPal.
  15. Yes, fair. I'm tempted to say African...
  16. Are they African or South American?
  17. There's a lot of "attempted bluesiness" going on that I can only attribute to: Cats being super-high and goofin' Cats being super-high and playing with impaired motor skills Cats not being high and goofin' Cats not being super-high and not having fully developed the skill set needed to get those sounds out of their instrument (actually 4B) Cats not yet having the full first-hand feeling necessary to get those sounds to come out of their instruments, like they hear it and they kinda feel it, but it's still very much a search to actually DO it. If it's non-Americans, I'd lean towards 5, because they sound like they have been very much moved by what they have heard, but are still in the process of figuring how exactly what that "it" is, both emotionally and instrumentally/physically. Or maybe it's a bunch of super-high non-Americans just goofin'. Could be!
  18. Well then, that explains a LOT of things!
  19. Is #2 a non-American group, at least in part?

    Bird Lives!

    Just a quick update - I got up this morning and Bird was passed out on my sofa. Woke him up, gave him a cup of coffee, and he stumbled out the back door to god knows where. I think maybe a sinkhole got him, but if I know Bird, he found a way out and is probably halfway to Fort Worth now. So yeah, Bird lives, although I don't know that you can really call that living.
  21. Farewell Jeff Sullivan. http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2013/3/12/4096222/lookout-landed
  22. Uh-oh, Earth is starting to eat its own. Time to be worried!
  23. Yeah, I saw the whole FODMAP thing and immediately thought that it was just a tiny bit extreme for somebody who didn't have a really specific GI issue. But you knw how faddy food is these days!
