Oh fuck yeah, that's my jam.

A Nu-Metal playlist on Spotify -- I'll admit it, I like some Nu-Metal. There's one song, in particular, from somewhen between 2005 and 2012 that I heard in a now defunct computer store that has been haunting me. I think it might be System of a Down or Crazy Town. On the other end of the "widely lauded" spectrum -- I.E. something I suspect will have universal appeal -- is The Mystery Lights -- sounds like it was written and performed back in the good old days (Motown/Sun Studio era?), but is a 2016 release. I can't even think of a single track to recommend, as I'm afraid of leaving one of the others out, so I'll just say, listen to the whole thing!

Yeezh.

Fuck fuck fuck. Fuckity fuck-fuck. RIP Scotty Moore. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/obituaries/musical-icon-elvis-guitarist-scotty-moore-dies-365c85ed-0ecb-5a13-e053-0100007f186c-384774031.html I know this guy wasn't the most pyrotechnical, but goddammit. I loved his music. Fuck.

Win! Thanks for that, it's always nice to go to sleep on such a happy bedtime story. I love the fighting with the wife bit -- that was a nice touch!

I know the rest of us are not saying much, but I believe we are all watching how this unfolds. TAKE THE FUCKER DOWN! Let us know if there is anything we can do besides show moral support.

Backups and large quantities of data distribution (video or audio) are really the only two reasons to get a burner, and if you already back up to hard drives, then it really only leaves the latter, to someone who is not in either the audio or video business.

I would eat that. Mm...white flour crusted bread. I would still eat it.

Only now getting around to this. Fuck, it's good. I may have to see them in about a month.

My work laptop recently recommended that I discharge the battery and start keeping it charged to 65% instead of 100% for battery life reasons, so I suspect there is some truth to it.

That little girl could end up ruling by default. (By default dat everyone else is dead.)

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Oh, c'mon, that was funny. Yes, excellent season. I would say the most uplifting, but probably 'least shockingly depressing' would be more accurate.

RIP Bernie Worrell

uh... ...nope! Your game is fine.

Not at all -- I only heard her for the first time last week -- sort of -- due to First Listening putting up Puberty 2... EDIT: AND she's going to be in town tomorrow (Saturday)...hmm... EDIT: Alas, it is sold out.

I read that as 'kvetchy' at first.

After seeing a 2 second snippet here:

Stayed home to receive a guitar that never arrived. Fuck you, DHL. (makes a mental note to visit Uniquely Thursday...oh, and Jeff and the rest of the Chicago head-casers)

And I got this from Scott Landes, Tash Cox, Sasha Travis, and company, aka Mankind is Obsolete, but currently doing an old timey gypsy swing jazz side project to their side project (Alice) called Alice Underground: http://imgur.com/a/uD2FH Very cool -- it keeps going -- there's more rose petals, lyric snippets, a signed card, a sticker, the CD itself of course... Not really safe for work -- she bends over a lot. It's very much in line with the pinup girl image she conveys in that one video she does, but part way through she gets really self-conscious and starts covering it up. I kinda wish she'd just "lean into it" and tease guys mercilessly, but I also understand why she wouldn't or shouldn't. Oh, well, it's up for now, I'll watch it again, because I'm interested in what pedals she's using. Yeah, that's the ticket. https://www.facebook.com/TinaGuoMusic/videos/vb.61209576131/10154180733421132/?type=2&theater&notif_t=live_video&notif_id=1466642050346020
