Ha! Actually, I think you're right, but I must admit my gears get a bit gummy, always takes me a few days to make the switch.

I really don't have anything particularly constructive to add to this except to say that I'm totally psyched to see the pair addressed so positively on this forum. Bitches w/ Britches rocks my world whenever I put it on. The banjo can't be fucked with, and the cover of Private Dancer is...

Anyone else at this last night? I thought the event was really top-notch, and it seemed like it was probably very successful in terms of raising money. I also thought Celebration put on a wicked show, inspiring, heartfelt, put the meaning of the night in perspective, and the drummer just...

I definitely knew a dude once who went WAY out of his mind every time he smoked. Predisposition to be sure. And I've definitely had my moments of extreme paranoia. I do think people downplay the addictive qualities... I find when I get high it's basically just an exaggeration of what my...

For mac they've got just the disc image up to download, so you don't have to load a cd to use. but they've only got it up as a bit torrent download now, which would be fine except that it seems there just aren't enough people w/ it online at the moment to get my download started. Maybe if I...

happened to catch c-span at 6 this past morning, they were showing Bush on his jaunt through the region. Watching him striking poses w/ governor of Alabama, Mike Brown of FEMA, some other dudes, all very well dressed and, you know, keeping their composure- Bush getting this completely silly...

nor how you can make sweeping comparisons between US taste and British taste... there are a lot of people in this here country, into a lot of different things. If somebody sells a million records, it's a lot, sure, but a super-small percentage of the total population.

isn't Tom Waits's son now his drummer?

Maxinquaye was an album-length immersion in mysterious sexuality that was a bit over my young adolescent head. Martina's voice just absolutely squashed me.

Oh, well- Ornette and Denardo Coleman...

Anthony Braxton- Tyondai Braxton I'm certain there are more in the jazz orbit that I'm blanking on right now...

not that my opinion is authoritative at all, but the first bassline mix put an hour of boring, boring work behind me right quickly. Thanks!

In defense of not liking Coldplay: listening to that live bit there, Chris Martin really can't sing, can he? I mean, it's not like he's not trying...

Fairly new translation of Don Quixote (by Edith Grossman). I have nothing to compare it to, but it seems great and also seems to have gotten a fair bit of praise. I'm at this point where a side story is read aloud by the priest: it's about a newly married man who asks his best friend to try to...

So my subjective enjoyment of Sigur Ros from time to time is actually a bullshit, bogus experience? And it was really wierd too- the whole time I was reaching for that lever with George Bush's name next to it, I was wondering, "why the hell am I doing this," but I just couldn't stop myself...

So that's 75 Australian dollars, ya? Not exactly sure what the exchange rate is, but what's that, like $50-$60 US? That's wierd, 'cause tix to US shows are about $30 US from what I saw, which is the absolute upper limit of what I'll pay for a show at this point. Contrast w/ Radiohead, who I...

Oh, I mean I'm in no way trying to criticize the Shadetek guys. I'm fully excited about what they're up to, and I don't doubt they're working their asses off. All very true, but as long as people aren't just being stupid, I almost always have a better time with music when there's not too much...

That was the thing I thought about the last one with Jammer/D/Ears. I think someone posted on the thread discussing the show that they didn't quite rise to the occaision up on stage. But it's gotta be a reciprocal thing, and there was little reciprocation from the audience if you ask me. I...

Yeah, I couldn't unzip it either.
