RIP Russ Solomon, founder of Tower Records, my favourite record/then CD/etc. store chain ever.

Gah!

Yeah, I enjoyed both of those, let me know if there are any others of recent vintage that you’d recommend. Going to try a few others.

This girl has 3D printed hands:

Went and saw 1000mods tonight. Opener Telekinetic Yeti blew me away -- they had kind of a Royal Blood thing going on, except instead of bass, the guitar guy played a seven string, so it was just him and the drummer. A lot of syncopated rhythms and unorthodox time signatures, so I was happy. 1000mods were awesome, too, of course. It was their first time in America coming over from Greece. I hope it isn't the last time.

It would make for some very interesting judging.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

“It’s not a hive mind, we all hate you in our own individual way.”

A discussion about Henry Mancini had me revisiting the Pink Panther soundtrack, which has some wonderful international influences. I totally want to do this cover.

“Deniers”

Those don’t really flow as taglines.

Safe wishes

But does it do them greatly? And what about hammered dulcimer?

My mind is definitely really good at that. Well said. And “flavor of the month” is the expression we use around here.

I believe the expression is something about coming in like a lion.

Actually, we had sorry about your thin skin for a while, but we’re not actually ?.

I think no matter what headphones you get, they will compromise on either one or the other. Piano is a really special instrument with a wide range and lots of rich, organic overtones and subtle, interacting acoustic energy transferring between the strings (one note has three strings, did you know that?). Guitar is lovely too, in its simplicity. A truly perfect guitar note starts out rather triangular, and eventually attenuates to the closest one can come to purity, the sine wave. You really need two sets of headphones. And on ensembles, don't get me started.

"A bit dark"?!?!? Unholy carp, good thing I was home when I watched this. There are black metal songs that wish they were as dark. I have a new obsession. Listen to how powerful this voice can get.

On one of the guitar groups I'm in on Facebook, they're having a Finland vs. England thread:

You know, we don't really have a tagline like, "sorry about your wallet", but if we did, it would be Ricardo Montalban from Fantasy Island saying whatever it was he said whenever a guest didn't get what he asked for, but got what he deserved.

Eat Static ...In The Nude! Salon Kitty is quite humorous, the rest is typical Eat Static

Well...that only took 5 hours.
