Happy birthday, chappy! (party favour noise on wrong side of the road)

Spongebob and friends beat up unlucky Russian driver (Facebook video)

I just thought they were nice. Maybe he doesn't have any.

I don't get the spinning plates one, but that Boxer is just fantastic. Spot the headphones, electrostatic speakers and amp:

Lunatic Soul new track, "Cold"

Aw, man, don't give up. I'll give you the same advice I keep receiving myself -- just play a little bit every day. 15 minutes. Eventually you'll start hankering for more.

The many faces of Peter Sellars Unwoman/Erica Mulkey:

Love 'em.

Oh Land's fingers (and [dead] guest):

Cheap sushi (Wegman's) -- still good

Foo Fighters, Wasting Light

Slight detour, because I didn't know what it was when I was searching for something else (new Pineapple Thief album, Magnolia, truth be told) on Spotify: Magnoliablack, In Falling Matter -- hard rock, me likey

Where on earth did you pick up a Lyra 2? Has Prism Sound improved their distribution/responsiveness, or am I thinking of someone else?

Northaunt -- dark ambient

Happy birthday, Dr. Deepak! (party favour noise)

Lollers. Patient Threadcromancer is patient.

That's funny, I usually type, 'um', but say, 'uh'. I think. I'll have to go back and check.

You know what I like about some of your posts? You're not afraid to say what everyone else is thinking. You manage to say it without malice, and without fanboism at the same time. Also, you sometimes just go off the deep end into left field. You're not afraid to say what no-one else is thinking.

It does indeed. I highly recommend Lactaid. I do still eat cheese occasionally, and always take my Lactaid. Won't eat cheese without it, at this point.

I'd be happy enough if they reintroduced mp3 compression without the band-limiting. If I want lossless, I'll just buy the music (hopefully it's available in lossless). Now, that said, it'd be nice if I could play my music through Spotify in lossless, which I currently can't.

Now that I'm back on wireless, will go into more length on the King Crimson show yesterday -- it was similar to the Albany show that was reviewed in Rolling Stone in terms of setlist, (if not exactly the same -- I'm actually not familiar with any of the post 1990 work enough to recognize it) and it was outstanding -- I'm not really sure what the drummers were trying to do with Red, but I didn't like it, otherwise the drummers were fantastic. They were the real stars, so it was really cool that they were front and center, and everyone else was back a level. Tony rocked, also (he always does, in my book -- hope he's making good bank on this tour, I heard when he tours Stickmen, they share a van and sometimes even have to sleep in it). Fripp remained in the shadows as always (if not more so than ever). He sure likes his toys, it was like a captain's console on a spaceship over there. Jakko ain't no Greg Lake, but just buy into that early, you'll save yourself some heartache. He actually enunciated Starless more clearly than I've ever heard it before, I think I'll be able to decipher the lyrics now. He certainly did excellently on Letters. And Mel Collins was Mel Collins.

Rock on! Might suggest to him to find out if they're related, though, considering the circumstances... Went to Adventure Aquarium, saw hippos and penguins (my friend took a picture and posted, "I bet the Caps could beat these Pens") and sharks and stingrays and fish and seahorses and jellyfish and even scuba divers were on display. Drove back.
