Dusty Chalk

I only heard of Bujalski for the first time the other night -- was trying to explain mumblecore to my sister, which I am only familiar with, myself, theoretically (hadn't actually seen any mumblecore films, according to wikipedia). ( a ) Are you familiar with mumblecore? ( b ) Would you recommend it to me? ( c ) Is this mumblecore?

Sweet story. Beautiful, too.

One of them looks particularly tasty.

I love chess, though I have not played in many years. When I did play, I was...adequate. I would actually like to say I'm very good, because I was taught by some greats (my father -- classic two Russians getting together to socialize, talk politics, and play chess), and though I never beat him, I have beaten most every other non-Russian opponent at least once.

Sat shiva with my sisters. (I believe that's the correct grammar.)

I think you were somewhere else -- this is nothing like Head-Fi, with or without anal dildo buttplug. Don't they talk about headphones over there or sumpin'? We're chessplayers. Also, Killing Floor. But mostly chess.

Continued Misfits -- episode two takes it to a whole 'nother level -- weird mix of black comedy, supernatural, British, horror, thriller and...drama? Wait, how'd they squeeze that tear of sympathy out of me? HOW? I mean, the two stories weren't even related and then, wham, out of nowhere... and an amazing soundtrack. Best use of "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon", ever.

o_O Yeezh, dude.

Misfits I laughed and I laughed and I laughed...

Happy Birthday, Juan! (party favour noise) Happy Birthday, Jeff! (party favour noise) ...in no particular order...

David Maxim Micic, Bilo 3.0 -- kind of all over the place, the first minute or two are not representative. Also, very Devin Townsend influence -- big fat wall of sound, similar vocal style ("projected singing without going full operatic"). EDIT: now listening to Bilo 2.0 -- love this guy already.

Moar here

Yeah, that one's going to race to the top of my list once I get around to swinging by BAM.

Vocal booth by Ikea:

IIRC, the trick with the Koss amp is to replace the power supply. Yes?

Oh, shit, that was hers? Yeah, I think I even have a physical copy of that lying around somewhere. Adding it. Also, I <3 Jack Handey. Adding that, too.

Ditters. Verbatim.

Be prepared for silly. Adding Oryx and Cake to my to-read list.

So what you really don't like is high idiocy. Throwback Thursday -- Orbital, a version of Doctor Who and the Sea Devils written by Malcolm Clark starring John Pertwee EDIT: L'ink fixed.

He should. I mean, you should...recognize his voice, that is. Some of us hear it most every Friday night. Of course, you probably don't until the next day or something.

Synthhenge:

I have the not-cheap 2560x1600 previous generation (or two) from Dell. Best monitor I have, bar none. I bet you could find something at MicroCenter...nope, they only have the one.

Ah, sorry, I've been accused of being a bit too literal sometimes.

I'm really hoping that makes it (as a commercial in the super bowl). If anyone wants to help, vote here.
