day two bump

Not off-hand, sorry. I'd normally ask my ex-housemate, who had a Consumers' Checkbook account, but I think she let it expire.

Matt Elliott, Only Myocardial Infarction can Break Your Heart

I haven't been paying attention -- have they been coming out with new stuff? I've seen variations on the Kindle -- has there been anything actually new? EDIT: Besides the Firestick, of which I am aware.

Today's bump.

I found out that Pallbearer use a lot of Earthquaker Devices and Black Arts Toneworks pedals, two of my favourite companies. Also, I was watching some Calexico, and now I want one of these:

A bargain at twice the price. I still need to watch all mah extras and commentaries and whatnot.

Mouse On Mars 21 again collaborations/celebrations/etc. Probably Devics next.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Happy birthday, Haj, hope you are feeling better today, and that you continue to feel better.

I would have assumed that any labels were old, outdated, and inaccurate. So...sympathies.

This made me laugh so hard, I don't know why. Maybe it was because it was right after Colin's comment (two in a row).

Archive -- pretty cool Brit hip-hop, kinda Massive Attack meets Radiohead EDIT: check this shit out! This shit is epic:

Archer Bastard chef episode Wong wong wong Wongwongwong Wongwongwongwongwong

Yeezh, Haj. Horrible day for it. One of my best buds with whom I was supposed to have Thanksgiving also had to cancel for similar reasons. In his case, we think it's food poisoning.

Sweetwater has a lot of Moog and Antelope stuff on sale right now. Right on the front page.

Don't mind me, I see humour in everything.

Well, read The Far Time Incident before you read Runestone Incident. If you like the one, you'll like the other. And yup, I got that in my kindle reserves somewhere.

They did make it all black, however, so there's that. Emotiva Holiday sale. In the powered monitor department: Airmotivs a little bit on sale; Stealths not at all.

Finished The Runestone Incident -- gave it 5 stars on Amazon, but would wish to give it 4.5, as it's not quite up there with the best, but I enjoyed it heroically, and I really like her well-thought-out mythology on time travel ("history protects itself"). There's room for a lot of stories there. Started Indexing (Seanan McGuire) -- loving it already. It's not quite as comedic as Discount Armageddon (largely because all the characters are angry all the time), but the material is funny which gives it a nicely different flavour from her other novels.

Welcome to the neighborhood, neighbor!

General question: is plastic a good substance to be used in the manufacture of electrostatic headphones, what with their being staticky and lint magnets and all?

Lollers -- I automatically looked in the South (was wrong). Less surprising: deer jerky in WV. EDIT: Cthurkey (click for imgur link) (notice the bacon):
