Pics, next time! We can't revel in biscuit-deprival-by-proxy without pirchers. Please and thank you.

Whoa, microZOTL, there's an amp I haven't heard of in a while...

Even if there is a sonic change, doesn't mean it's audible. And just because one person can hear it, doesn't mean another will. I'm not saying it's subjective, I'm saying it's a function of how accurate one's measuring instruments are, and that includes one's ears. And sure, a circuit may or may not make a difference as to how audible that change is. In one example I was told of, the only thing the one tube does is glow. It is otherwise not even in the circuit. Yes, that's somewhat of an extreme example.

I love Laurie Anderson. Remind me, some time, to tell the stories of seeing her live. I have that on CD somewhere, but don't remember it beyond confirmation that yes, it was mostly an art piece, not that there's anything wrong with that. I should dig it out and give it another listen. George -- I am not Craig, but: Big Science and United States I-IV Live. EDIT: Oh, and without a doubt: I wasn't at the New York show, but I was at the DC show just a couple days earlier, but immediately after 9/11, and it was just her and her backing band, with no performance art whatsoever, and it reminded me just how powerful she is with even just her music.

Good luck.

Nope I, for one, will never forget thrice's analogy.

Epica, The Holographic Principle (track commentary version on Tidal) On deck: Opeth, Sorceress

I know, right? Unrelated: hurricane Matthew:

Vangelis, Rosetta -- I'm only on track two, but it's already beautiful

You have to admit, that's a weird place to be having that discussion.

No, there was a time when that meant the world was flat, for there was as yet no way to observe any empirical evidence to the contrary. Now, I'm not saying that the opposite is true, I'm just saying you can't prove a negative. For example, there's no objective evidence that I can play the guitar. That doesn't mean I can't play, but it also doesn't mean I can.

I missed that! Probably not subconsciously, though, it took me a couple seconds before I recognized Paint It, Black...I did love the use of piano during the opening credits.

I am a big fan of the Yul Brynner movie. That said, I'm totally digging what they're doing with this show. References to repeated storyline ideas like Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow. I totally dug the use of an orchestral version of Paint It Black (Battlestar Galactica reference?), and then the bizarre Shakespeare quotes that just was its own thing. In.

So I have two responses: on the one hand, I applaud your beligerence. On the other, just because you can't comprehend something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Headphone, Clouds of Scattered Noise -- disaffected pop. RIYL Frightened Rabbit, Keane, Lorde, Florence and the Machine, et al.

Kudos, Brent.

Yeah, I listened to that, too. My tastes must've changed radically in the last couple years.

RIP

Nice! I hope you find many many hours of enjoyment playing it. Last guitar I got was an Ibby George Benson LGB30.

He did say, "properly fitted", and I do remember them being extremely sensitive to position.

Luke Cage Oh, look, it's Remy Danton. Also: greatest soundtrack I've heard in a long time. Little slow so far, but I dig it.

I went and saw 4/6 of my favourite recent discovery band, Bent Knee. Apparently, they don't do weddings, but this guy who was their biggest fan ever got them to play their rehearsal dinner, so they opened the doors to fans after the dinner. And because they were 4/6, they couldn't do entirely Bent Knee material, but apparently all of the members have their own projects, so I got to see mini sets from all of them. It was like getting my favourite band deconstructed, and then the deconstructions fleshed out. It was like someone had dissected a frog, took out all the constituent parts, painted them psychedelic colours, then displayed them in some sort of weird art exhibit, naive to the horror. It was glorious. I could tell while I was living it that the event was unique -- not only was this something they had never attempted before, I doubt they would ever attempt it again. And if they did, it'd be different. And, yeah, they played some Bent Knee material. They played some new songs that they had never played before. I'm on cloud 9... Oh, and I got to have a moment with Courtney (lead singer) to share our mutual love of Shiina Ringo, and I got to hug Jessica (and Courtney and Ben). (But I not-so-secretly have a thing for Jessica, so that was specialest.)

Ah! Ah ah ah.

Lollers -- actually, I meant both his and yours.
