Trying to get through American Gods again before I cancel my Starz subscription.

Finished the last of the takeout Nilgiri Korma. Damn that stuff is delicious.

Amplifier, Trippin' with Dr. Faustus

Understood -- Smooth Jazz is a whole 'nother genre. That's not jazz. Mikey is, of course, referring to jazz which is smooth. What I refer to as smoov jazz, for no other reason than to differentiate from that Muzak sounding tripe. (But I also recognize that it hasn't taken on as an expression.)

Was: Klaus Schulze, Androgyn RIYL: Klaus Schulze, although this is one of his best new releases in years. It's very mellow, even for him. (A lot of his releases are either synthesizer noodling over a sequence, or weird collaborations with vocalists or other instrumentalists like cellists.) Is: Eno, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy and Before and After Science

Bjorn Riis, Forever Comes to an End RIYL: Pink Floyd, Pineapple Thief, Airbag (of course -- that's his band)

Outstanding! Having had my bloodwork interpreted recently, I actually understood the ramifications of all those numbers.

Oh, okay, it sounded exactly backwards.

It is spelled with one L.

It's probably a lot more inert than you're making it sound.

Thanks for the explanation!

I've used both the HRT and the HeadAmp Pico DAC/Amp with good results. Why do you bring up hiss? Have you had a problem with hiss before? That's usually an impedance mismatch. I've only ever had hiss if it was on the original recordings, or if it was a low impedance headphone out of a Ray Samuels headphone amp.

I had some Nilgiri Korma the other day, and that was very green. I didn't have any digestive distress, so I probably pushed it a little too far earlier today by having pepper chicken from another Indian restaurant today. And now I am going to partake of similar fruits as to what Grem had earlier.

Condolences

Unholy carp!

I think people will say, "Apple Airport Express", but I have no experience myself.

I've been told to keep a food diary to see if I can determine what is bothering my digestive system, so got a little brave yesterday and got some chicken Nilgiri Korma from my favourite Indian restaurant (did not go for my usual, Vindaloo, which is among the top 10 spiciest meals I have ever had). It was delicious! And green, so very very green.

This guy could claim he did everything as a Klaus Schulze tribute, and I wouldn't be any the wiser.

It's also really interestingly shot. I put it on in the background to listen mainly to the music, and I found myself watching it. Whoever the cameraman is, he really has a good eye. Thanks! Gem!

Wet Hot American Summer, 10 Years Later (aka season 2)

Also, it was International Cat Day yesterday (8/8), and Words With Friends' word of the day was, 'KITTY'.
