Al Di Meola, "Señor Mouse" -- goddamn I love this track, especially those two builds at 3:40-4:20 and 6:00-6:30. I might have to construct an ambient shepard scale of chords that utilizes this sequence.

Seriously. I hate those tip jars at the counter. The rule of thumb is if they serve you at your table (or bar stool), or if you have to do most everything yourself -- tip/no tip. I tend to overlook them (the jars). You know what else I hate? When you do take-out on credit card, and there's a spot for tipping.

Yeezh. 3 different hits? Wowzers. Time to get a tank.

Happy birthday, Bonnie! (party favour noise)

Kind of putting me in the mood for Muse, so alternating this with the Muse versions of the same songs. I'll probably just stick Muse on random after that.

I don't know, I'm only in season 2, but Hank's been a good guy so far. Yeah, he's a misogynist pig and a typical "loud American" -- full of bluster and always needing to be the alpha, but...I don't know, I guess I've just known people like that before, and they've been good people, so I transfer their characteristics to him. But that said, I can see why he's not very likeable, so even though he's a good guy, hubby might not want to watch the show just for him.

I hope he doesn't go after Ronald Jenkins. Or masturbators. Or sample CD's. Or Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best. Or... I should stop giving them ideas.

Started with At Carnegie Hall with the Theolonious Monk Quartet, queued those up for next.

Anja Garbarek, her entire oeuvre, inspired by the knowledge that Mark Hollis of Talk Talk helped produce it after his solo album. All three of her albums are quite good. I'm only familiar with My Favourite Things and Blue Train, what should I try next? Queuing up Birth of the Cool in the meantime -- Mark Hollis was definitely influenced by jazz during his latter actively musical years.

Welcome to the 90's?

Happy Birthday, Nate! (party favour noise)

Um...no? Isn't that utilitarian more than vain? Or do you actually like the way it looks?

Various artists, Spirit of Talk Talk -- goddamn, this is the best tribute compilation I've ever heard...but mostly if you love Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock -era Talk Talk. Moody, patient, atmospheric, jazzy, and above all, consistent. It works so well as an album.

Melted lounge chairs...Dali-esque pics please? Oh and: :eep:^2. That's closer than I imagined. Knowing how much wood you probably have around, you're taking this a lot more calmly than...well, than I am. Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

\m/ That reminds me, I need to download a lighter app for the next time they play a ballad at a concert I'm at.

Thirty feet?!?!? :eep:

Good to hear, I always thought it was quite elegant looking. In fact, I think when people say "gold on black", that's what I think of, and why I usually have a positive response.

How many are in the manufacturer's packaging? 6? 12? It'd probably behoove to just get the same number. That said -- good to know. I'll get my hard drives from MicroCenter from now on. Not that I am not hard on drives.

I find the easiest way to cut the cord is to stop caring about anything that is on television. I've got Community and Castle on Hulu, I miss Archer and...um...okay, just Archer, can't think of anything else I'm missing. Oh yeah, Parade's End. And yeah, I'll probably have to wait 'til 2015 to see stuff like Season 3 of Sherlock.
