What does the ortho snob cognoscenti think of YH-3s? There's a pair on the 'Bay that I have my eye on.

YGPM.

That sucks, dude. The contractor who's been working on my house is without power, but he says it should be back on by Monday. I hope for his sake that it is. He has a propane heater, but it needs electricity (for a blower fan?) Fortunately, he has a wood stove. So far, I've gotten off very lucky. Power is still on (knock on wood) but I do have about 3 inches of water in my basement. 0_o

I imagine a real one would be really hard to clean, not to mention a PITA to store. Cute, though.

Alex Skolnick from Testament, that's it. He's actually a really cool cat. Sometime in the early 90s, he got sick of metal and re-invented himself as a jazz guitarist. He played Amherst College a number of years ago, in a room where I used to do sound. Unfortunately, I was not the soundman that night and I missed the show. I'd liked to have seen him.

True dat. Mea culpa. Unfortunately, Google image search says otherwise.

This is enough to get me to listen to Wagner. NSFW.

Back in the late 80s, I had Satriani's Surfing with the Alien on CD. I bought it because (A) Satch had taught a number of guitarists that I liked at the time (Kirk Hammett, Steve Vai ...uh, maybe someone else) and ( it had the Silver Surfer on the cover. It was kind cheesy sounding even back then. I tried listening to it again around 1994, and promptly traded it in at the local used music store. If memory serves, Satch started singing on later albums. I cannot imagine that going that well. IMJO, he's an Alpha Cock-Rocker who instructed a bunch of other cock-rockers. Coldplay are a bunch of pretentious pop darlings. I can't really take a side in this little slap fight. I hope both parties come away from it bruised.

This is the 2001 remaster of what many ambient snobs (myself included) consider to be the greatest ambient album of the 1990s.

Stargate (1994), first time I've ever seen it. It's ...okay so far, but it's confirmed for me that my surround speakers are in fact hooked up.
