I am definitely following this San Francisco story to see how it all turns out.

Afghan Whigs, Gentlemen -- possibly my favourite LP of 1993. Waiting the entirety of "If I Were Going" (3 minutes!) before introducing the drums in "Gentlemen" (track 2) may be one of my favourite moments in rock'n'roll. And I love the cover -- so disturbing. Like seeing Alia Atreides depicted in film.

I find this picture pretty amazing: He's looking straight at the yarn, despite the fact that he can't see: I'm going to start using that as an expression -- "his hearing was so good, he could echolocate yarn".

It also went down on people's lists (peoples' lists?) when TiVo became a thing, and people could always watch the other thing later.

Gojira, L'Enfant Sauvage One of my favourite metal bands. Hopefully seeing them live in about two weeks, I've missed all concerts except one or two for the last several months.

For some reason, I can't see those last 5 and one or two before that. EDIT: And now I'm getting them on mine -- seems the images are being corrupted...:\ Must be me. I probably have a virus or something. I love the cat one, though -- glad I can see that. Sounds like a name, Linn "Whiskey Cask" Sondek.

An hour and 20 minutes of Klaus Schulze:

Found on Facebook with the comment: "Look at the size of that kid's head! It's like a giant pouty feather duster!"

I'm posting that as my status on Fracasbook.

So...? She's...? Marrying the Dalek? Or is that the all-female pic with props...? That knit Tardis cap rules. I want one.

Swamp thang

That ice climber looks like she just bought a Toyota or something.

In... ...e.

This is a close cousin to the performer's nightmare. The real performer's nightmare is usually of the form that you're a soloist at a venue "out of your league", completely unprepared, but expected to play anyway. Or naked. Here is the most sincere facepalm moment: http://youtu.be/CJXnYMl_SuA?t=2m42s

I probably should not have called it bizarre, as one can't argue with the results. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

Well remember they use that bizarre PCL805/18GV8 tube, which, IIRC, is some sort of television tube, which is at an unusual part-way point between power tubes and preamp tubes. Could that have anything to do with it?

The more I think about it...white? Really? [/arrested development voice] Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

How is it any uglier than, for example, the E.A.R. HP-4? That said, I have to admit, white wouldn't be my first choice for color of any audio component.
