That sounds like a very accurate prediction.

maple pepper pork chops -- delicious

Fostex TX-1 is US$30 on stupid deal of the day, today.

Yeah, like our economy is doing that much better. Dollars are going to be fake Yen or Yuan soon.

Or, be more methodical, and "game" it the entire time, so that one is ready for a large purchase at any time. I don't think Larry's doing it wrong, in fact I'm glad the conversation came up. I for one learned a few things already.

American dollars are bordering on fake, too, don't take it personally/nationalistically/continentally.

Very cool. I'm a big Focal fanboy, and can only fantasize about hearing a surround facility with Focal Utopias. One of these days, I'll get myself a pair of big Focals. My very realistic goal for a long time was a pair of simple 3-ways...Alto? Diva?...something like that.

Will do. Is it a movie? Will figure out later. "I (Who Have Nothing)" reminds me a bit of Nick Cave, for some reason. Which microphone is that, do you think? I see that it's an sE Electronics, but...do you think it's this one? Damn, it sounds good. And that backing track has some deliciously insane bass. I was wondering where I got this -- I watched it this last weekend -- what a great show, from right after Remain in Light (they play all four of my favourite songs from there -- Houses in Motion, Crosseyed and Painless, The Great Curve, Born under Punches...and I Zimbra and...and...), lots and lots of Adrian Belew and Tina Weymouth and...just loved everything about it. And a great version of Take Me to the River without them all being doped out of their minds like on SNL.

I cannot explain why I find this as powerful as I do, and yet I do. http://www.pastemagazine.com/r/1_mgkkduno

Haken There's also a whole thing on their website. It's kind of hilarious. http://hakenmusic.com/haken-album-four-press-release

Uh...slight detour -- Carbon Based Lifeforms just released VLA -- consisting of a single hour-long track. Ambient droney goodness. https://carbonbasedlifeforms.bandcamp.com/album/vla

I'm really excited about Spark. Me: Ossicles -- proggy, rocky, contemporary sounding.

Árstíđir & Anneke!

There's slightly more thought put into it than gambling, otherwise you wouldn't purchase any particular stock, neh? I still agree with the conclusion.

RIP and condolences.

Yeah, what it boils down to (fnar fnar) is what kind of taste one wants. Me: got tired of having pasta arrabiata canceled everywhere I could find it, or having one place spice up some marinara with red pepper flakes -- bleargh -- so I made my own. It was delicious.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Earlier today I followed Jacob's advice of a longer stew time with more liquid and lower temperature, and the stew beef came out much more tender. I had also left it in a bath with more orange juice than previously.

A little late (my hours are fucked up again), but...

RIP Maurice
