I think it was just, "We’re going to get high and listen to Miles".

Always liked the cool vibe going on....

The excessive smoking thing is a valid point, but I think the show is good enough to look past that. Plus, the lead character's (Ron Draper) wife looked pretty damn good in those riding pants.

Beer can chicken lastnight.. Burnt pastrami, lettuce and tomato on marble rye, tonight.

I think that whole crowd was probably mid 20s at best.

Yeah, I don't like it either.

Yeah, right here. Never watched until a few weeks ago when AMC was running a first season marathon and it hooked me. The show is very well produced with a lot of attention paid to details.

Shit, just hearing the news for the first time. RIP

Here is come classic Bernie Mac for you. Enjoy

Shit, I knew he was in the hospital with pneumonia but didn't expect this. He was one of the funniest dudes out there and I will miss his him.

Great show, great clip! I actually thought it was number 3.

And by "go down", I mean "GO DOWN!", not "go down" as in....., well, you know.

Yeah, but the information that the cell is conveying is dependent upon us being aware (on some level) of the whole song. The electric piano BOINK would be just a BOINK if you didn't already know the entirety of Mr. Magic. The effectiveness relies on a certain amount of "cultural literacy", and that runs both shallow and deep. Sampling a whole phrase of a Ludacris song doesn't require a huge amount of awareness from the listener to "get it". Picking up on a BOINK from a GW, Jr. record from 30 years ago is a little more subtle. I totally agree. My point is just that there's now this entire musical...realm that is built entirely upon this sort of thing, a realm that can accommodate both the subtle and the blatant, the sublime and the ridiculous, the beauty and the beast, the fish and the fowl, the alphabet soup (incorporating the fowl) and the omega-3 fatty acids (incorporating the fish). If this realm not only exists but is organically active and evolving, as it certainly seems to be. then it seems to me that any "questioning of its validity" is little more than backwards looking wishful thinking, and that attempts to create a legislative protectionist environment against it are either doomed to fail out the gate or else can succeed only by the heaviest of heavy-handedness. Which simply means that this realm is like any other - that there can be both good and bad music made from the same basic tools, and that failure and success in this regard is a function of the artist, not the artist' tools. Even more simply, this boils down to substance trumping style. Again. Same as it ever was. The classics never go out of style! Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, but his name is "DJ Girl Talk" and for that reason alone, HE MUST GO DOWN!!!

Why is music the exception? In business I can't go around stealing ideas and property from people that have it all protected. At least, not legally. Even though I to have to pay for and renew annually my expensive-ass licenses, permits and all kinds of other bullshit. Go figure. It's not like DJ Girl Talk (lame ass name, by the way) is doing this for the love of it all and is not getting paid. Why should he not pay a token to those that really own it?

I wonder how he would feel if somebody in L.A. or New York started using the name "DJ Girl Talk", only, they spelled it different or said it really fast.

Sure looks like it could be.

Yeah, that's a big part of it.

Once upon a time I enjoyed watching, mainly the winter stuff. Now, I don't care about any of it.

It's official!

Congrats.

I was, but just to raid his beer fridge. Nobody was home.

Grilled salmon marinated and basted with a mix of brown sugar, white wine, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Plus, mashed potatoes and grilled corn on the cob (naked). Tommorow night is an asparagus risotto with grilled artichokes.
