Let's agree to disagree.

"snowblocked" sounds like the snow was blocked (as in cockblocked means the cock was blocked, not that something was prevented by cock). No? His status that started it all (which was not his first status about recording, he previously had posted how looking forward to recording he was). Him: "Fuck it, day 1 of recording cancelled. Fuck fuck fuckitty fuck. " 3rd person: "Why, what happened? " Him: "Outlying roads around Bristol snowfucked. " Me: "I'm stealing, 'snowfucked'." Him: "It's my word of the day." He managed to get all the rhythm section and some of the guitars recorded during the latter portion of one day, and the rest of the guitars and vocals recorded on the second day, so ... yay him!

A guy I know had trouble getting to the studio (to record their first album!) this weekend, and used the term, "snowfucked", which will hereafter be known to mean, "prevented from doing something by snow".

I have most of it. ?

Great band name, anyway.

Lassigue Bendthaus, Render The first thing I ever heard by Uwe Schmidt (Atom Heart on the Fax label, Señor Coconut, and simply Atom(tm) on his own Rather Interesting... label, and to this day, still my favourite. Finally remastered and re-released. Post-industrial/electro/ambient/experimental. So far removed from the Beatles that I would use it as an argument against their ubiquitous influence. https://atomtm.bandcamp.com/album/lassigue-bendthaus-render

I ? Pomplamoose so much.

The album, Crash and Burn is easily their peak in my eyes. And my favorite track,

Yeezh

John Foxx, with and without Louis Gordon, the Maths, and the Belbury Circle. Synthpop heaven!

Cheers. I vaguely remember seeing it way back when, but can’t be sure. Revisit or not, it was still a nice watch.

Hey, @acidbasement, did you watch this? I think he mentions 70,000 Tons of Metal, though not by name. Knucks, thanks for posting this. He's such a great storyteller, a very enjoyable listen, even with the weird edits.

Hey, @Knuckledragger, have you heard this version of Karmacoma before? I quite like it, it's a nice low key number to open a live set with, sort of like Talking Heads did with Psycho Killer in Stop Making Sense. Except with more tabla (I think that's the word for all that percussion).

Just found out Jessica -- a manager at the Tower Records I would most frequently go to, and with whom I had a lot musically in common (she was a huge fan of Meat Beat Manifesto/Jack Dangers and a lot of synth pop and industrial), and who was gregarious and vivacious and full of life and ...okay, yeah, I had a small crush on her -- passed away from a very aggressive form of colon cancer at the ridiculous age of 42. https://www.dailyitem.com/news/campus-theatre-manager-jessica-paquin-dies-following-battle-with-cancer/article_b64c1964-0490-11e9-86b3-d7aaf6f7567d.html?fbclid=IwAR3Q4R4qc9wclf5-mlxKZjiweny3sdxNCIOKpdUGjpr5-qBymTS0ip_0TK4 FUCK CANCER.

The first thing I noticed was the lack of a human shaped outline in the passenger seat, so I was about to start yelling, "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH..." and then it dawned on me...

Even yet still more comfort food -- Chinese edition -- spring rolls, steamed dumplings, cold sesame noodle, hot'n'sour soup, moo goo Gai pan, chicken with garlic sauce (not all at once, though) Also, been eating a lot of oatmeal as my midnight snack lately -- went through an entire box of pumpkin spice oatmeal that I found while cleaning...

Keith Jarrett, The Sun Bear Concerts on Tidal. Easily my favourite concerts of his. I could listen to this box set on repeat...and have -- it fits nicely into a 6 disc changer. It's 5 nights across 6 disks, and since this is the 21st century, I've resequenced them into chronological order.

Jon Lord had the greatest organ tone in all of rock'n'roll.

Ah, okay, it's the not touching thing? Yeah, that is something that is unique to this instrument. It has to do with the way it's designed -- you control it by making small changes in electromagnetic waves around it. By its very nature, you can't touch it. By the way, it's not digital -- it was invented back in 1919. It's only very recently that they've been able to add sufficient tracking to use it as a MIDI controller, but it's still mostly played in the analog realm.

PSA -- I wonder if this is the reason for my apartment complex's plumbing problems...

Not sure why you have trouble understanding it as an instrument -- it is monophonic -- like most every wind and brass instrument -- and it isn't fretted or stopped -- like a guitar or saxophone, more like a violin, cello or slide whistle -- and it has a purity of sound that I rather enjoy. (I have a friend who went to Bob Moog's workshop and built her own, and she did an extra careful job and it was voiced like a Minimoog -- it was delicious. I haven't heard another that sounded quite like it. Most of the recordings I've heard didn't have the midrange body that this one had. It was thick and girthy. That said, I still really do like the sound of any and all synthesizers, including the theremin. Me: Chiu, complete Prokofiev solo piano music or whatever it's called Damn, I love this stuff. Such a beautiful sense of melody harmony and dissonance. I need to write more dissonance.
