Dusty Chalk

Alas, my vacation is already allotted. Am going to England in August (for a concert, no surprise, and to meet some of my online British friends -- stretch included, hopefully), and am already going to have to forego Cruise to the Edge, which I really would have liked to have gone on this year, as Dave Kerzner -- who made the album New World which is right up there with Hand. Cannot. Erase. as one of my two favourite albums of the year so far -- is going to be performing (and perhaps preparing sushi). Ack. I really need to win the lottery so that I can retire so I can make and listen to all the music I want.

I suspect he just wants to be known as an authority in his own right. There might be a small amount of empire building/doesn't play well with others there, too.

worn out VHS tapes

One new song and one old They are playing at Merriweather Post Pavilion and a lot of other dates, so you wouldn't be far wrong.

You know they're about to come out with a new album, right?

Dammit, topless girl looks familiar. Julia Stiles? I know it's not her, but now it's bugging me...

Holy shit!

More awkward group photos here.

Steve Hackett Spectral Mornings live DVD Mozart's Requiem? Not that far past mid-life?

God dammit, fine, I'll get it. 30 day return policy, yeah? You think 30 days is long enough for my crisis?

Yes -- I am on the disk plan with Netflix -- because choices -- and I usually delay watch (rip, watch from computer later, delete). Every once in a while, the disk won't rip because scratches/peanut butter/whatever/don'twanttothinkaboutittoohard, so after a thorough wet cleaning, I'll watch it live -- fuck it! I'll watch it live. (Meaning straight from the disk.) Also, I own a few movies (World's End/Cornetto Trilogy, Gravity, etc. -- probably getting Under the Skin because I've watched it enough times to make it worth my while, and will probably watch again...also Bolt).

It does appear to be in excellent condition.

I <3 Remain in Light so much. Probably one of my most listened to albums.

Panoramic-ish.

I haven't tried, will let you know. (Most of the lower def content I watch is through the computer and therefore not upscaled. In fact I usually don't go through the internal upscaler at all.)

Nice box.

Ayup, that was my reasoning -- also my reasoning for picking the monitors I use.

I have the BDP-105D connected to my 4K screen -- even just upscaled looks pretty damn good.

WTH is wrong with you? Me: salad.

Cheaper, that's all. Anyway, they're shipping out another case (yes, just for one exploded can).

Steven Wilson interview:

Thanks for speaking up, Tyll, I hadn't purchased mine yet. I will wait until this all falls out and we get a consensus. I need to find my CD3000s.

Was he a drone? Maybe this is that new-fangled "drone delivery" ah keep hearin' 'bout. I wonder where the queen was. You know she controls 'em with hormones.
