I've got that, Glorious Dead by The Heavy, and Off the Record by Karl Bartos incoming. Some times Amazon just doesn't know what to make of me.

Strep su-ucks! Get over it soon, Raffy. And take all your antibiotics, you don't want a recurrence. I'm usually against over-use of antibiotics, but strep is one exception even I will make. Me: I took all my headphones home last week, thinking I was getting laid off, and I took my one pair home last night -- with plans to redo the foam in the case for them. So, to wit, today, I came in without any headphones. I think I will make today a short day. Also, I met with my boss for my annual review. Don't know anything about raises, apparently they usually hit July 1...? And apparently he's not my supervisor any more, and the one I have...well, let's just say I don't have high hopes for him.

Kylie Minogue & múm, "Whistle" -- probably her second most unexpected collaboration, after the Bad Seeds.

Zoot Woman, Things are What They Used to Be Really liked their first couple records (80's style dance-pop with contemporary production), didn't realize this one had come out since then.

Tummy hurts

Taking a break from Michael Brook's Music Library, Vol. 2 to dance in my chair to !!!'s Thr!!!er. alterna-indie-funkalicious

I ate too many pistachios.

Continuum continues to be all kinds of pleasing. Dan, if you haven't already, you especially should watch this. At least up to episode 4 (which is where I am) -- remember when you said that science fiction should investigate the morality of technology -- well, let's just say I think you'd enjoy this. You have to add in the overhead of malware and you have to realize that I'm a bit of a masochist, so I don't just clean my computer, I try to figure out what happened. I won't even torrent at all. So although downloading -- in and of itself -- is less costly than "waiting for it", it takes more of my time. Much more. I really need to get into Qubes, I think maybe then. EDIT: Okay, that's just silly, I'm watching it.

Michael Brook, BellCurve, to be followed by Music Library, Vols. 1-9 EDIT: ...interspersed with some Dustin O'Halloran since he was listed as a "related artist", and because he's a member of the Devics, whom I love. EDIT: And listening to him play solo piano...I think I found out why I like the Devics so much. He plays piano a lot like I do. Well...a lot better, but similar choices, in terms of notes and chord progressions.

Doug -- whether that was intentional or not, it's the album cover of The Darkness' album, One Way Ticket to Hell...and Back -- I think it's more a visual depiction of the album title.

I'm pretty sure this is the record she is listening to:

Yeezh. Well, we got white trash over here in Woodbridge, so although you're welcome to visit, I wouldn't stray too far on yer own, ya hear?

Lollers. We use the words, "straight to video" to mean "not cinema quality", whereas you there seem to refer to it as an efficient business pattern.

Some of us are far too lazy to pirate.

Laundry. Cleaned my car (mostly). Took a bunch of recycle to the recycle place. Bunch o' other vaguely domestic stuff. (makes a vague "Sunday School" joke)

Yeah, me too. I mean, I understand the benefit of going asynchronous, but other than that, I just don't get it. Most DACses' inputs are just cheap PLL's anyways.

Huzzah! That means we should get it over here across the pond in about 2015.

Happy belated! (party favour noise)

Okay, I think they lost me with the dream sequence. Moving on to Continuum. I really like the casting of Rachel Nichols for the lead in this, she carries just the right combination of toughness and vulnerability. Or maybe she's just disarmingly pretty.

Tinsley Ellis, Get It! -- yeah, I'm pretty much the only one I know who can go from John Foxx (D.N.A.) to Tinsley Ellis, and remain at the same level of enjoyment. Oh yeah, all instrumental. (swoon)

Someone needs to invent a cocktail called "room treatments". Probably should have some chili in it to open up the blood vessels.

I don't get it.[/dusty]

Aw, man!

Work off those biscuits!

That'd be funneh if they made it the new interface.
