Yeah, well, I found it a little dirty in a frustrating way... Various Artists, Five Point One (The Mark Reeder 2.0 Versions) -- discovered while playing connect the dots from the Daou -- mix of 80's synthpop, 80's artists' contemporary synthpop, and electroclash (current artists that sound like 80's synthpop) -- I'll be purchasing this...

Three Days to Never Can't find my copy of John Dies at the End, I think I was reading it right up until just a couple hours before I took off for San Francisco, but for the life of me, I can't recall where I went for breakfast/lunch, which is where I would have left it if I left it anywhere.

Vanessa Daou, Zipless -- I've been meaning to listen to this since it came out, now, on Spotify, I can, so here I am...

Oneohtrix Point Never, Rifts -- experimental electronica -- more like 'musical ideas' of varying length, varying musicality*, and varying accessibility. Melikey. *Musicality being that scale from pure 'hook' to pure 'aggravation'.

Lots of bokeh, please. Mmm...in-n-out of focus snowflakes...

Opened a twitter account -- @TheDustyChalk (someone took @DustyChalk, the fucker) -- I don't intend to be active, but it was a required field in a Kickstarter reward. Wait, isn't that called "China"? And working from home doesn't count -- I'm not envious of those people for some reason. It's the 800 ft. thing that I'm jealous of.

Yeah, keep safe, Noreasters.

Okay, just got the CD -- there's a bonus disc, "Night Session" (parts one and two) -- can't wait to hear it

Well, to start with, you know that Lovespiralsdownward morphed into Lovespirals, right? And I really dig that whole Elfenstaub series, although that's more downtempo than trip-hop And Halou, Wiser always gets lumped in that trip-hop category, although it's more than that. One of my favourite albums of 2001, if not the favourite. Rob Dougan, Furious Angels is similarly one of my favourite albums of 1998, though I didn't know that until years later. He, too, wanders outside of pure trip-hop. That's why I didn't want to recommend you anything, whatever I think of are my own albums of association more than what yours will be. Blue Foundation, Sweep of Days And of course there are the classics -- Becoming X, Faithless, Massive Attack, Morcheeba, Tricky, Portishead, Zero 7, Lamb (again: -ish)... This is all assuming you're on Spotify and can try before you buy...I'm sure you have your own way of sampling stuff... EDIT: Also, if you are on Spotify, I really like the playlist, "Enter the Dub" by Tom Grønås.

Damn, dude, that's some good stuff. I love trip-hop. I'm almost tempted to drop some recommendations, but you seem to be on a roll...

Might be your BIOS settings.

Jealous -- I've often fantasized about being able to fall out of bed and go to work, neither rain nor sleet nor hail nor snow, etc.

Der Fall Böse, Die ganze Nacht -- "Über der Stadt" fucking rocks, as does "Untergehn"...sure wish I knew what the hell they were singing about.

Mmm...Somethin' Else. .. Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

Happy Birthday, Jeff! (party favour noise)

Trip Fontaine, Lambada -- mostly because Spotify listed them as a "related artist" to Mikrokosmos23 -- a little bit alternative/funkier/different

There are enough Siamese cats around that you should be able to find a rescue -- contact your local rescue organizations.

So I need a case for my Nexus 10, and it's 263.9 x 177.6 mm (10.4 x 7.0 inches), which is about 1 inch longer than the iPad, so no "true" iPad cases -- any recommendations?

Mikrokosmos23, Alles lebt. Alles bleibt.
