Happy Birthday, Ken! (party favour noise)

https://soundcloud.com/olsentwinpeaks'>Olsen Twin Peaks -- they started following me on SoundCloud, I was intrigued by their hilarious name, their own description: They sure do make a lot of noise for two people.

I'm alright with it. It rocks, that's all I ask.

About the only Christmas music I can tolerate is old school jazz, old school soul, Tchaikovsky, Puppini Sisters, and Reindeer Room. That last of which is what I've been listening to, on and off today. Also, King Crimson, Larks' Tongues in Aspic

Sounds like they might be good for mastering.

Tyll, d'you know anything about this?

AKG M-80 Mk II, thirty dollah, no cookie, today only

Alcest -- French shoegazer metal, medigs

Cut'n'paste from an email I just got: I may have to get one just to go with the HDP I just got.

Not just Jewish -- we're doing Chinese this year, too. It's a grand tradition, I like it. Got my mom into it a couple years ago, she likes the 'not cooking' part.

Wow, I have never had anything that was so good that made me want to say that. Now that's a finish.

Aye, that's what I paid.

7 was the best.

If you go to the speedtest.net site, there's a link for something called TuneUp Utilities -- it actually is pretty good to the point where I bought my own copy.

Patenbrigade: Wolff, Baustopp! -- you would think from their album cover: ...that they're industrial or sprockets or somesuch, but they're actually very pretty electro, the kind with the words "chill" or "3am" in the title. Varah nahs!

It's not just that, it's just not intuitive.

Yeah, but I just texted the image to him.

...from fab.com

No, I was just trying to pass one along. I went to slower forum, grabbed the image of the cat with the dilating pupils...this one: ...and tried to text it to him, but it wasn't even animated on mine. Try looking at it now on yours, is it animated?

Maybe he meant out homosexual republicans.

Glad you like. [img=http://www.crf2.com/images/smilies/headbanger.gif] Me: Neurosis, The Eye of Every Storm, Spotify 'EP' version (Burn/Shelter/A Season in the Sky/I Can See You). These guys understand patience and how to build up an atmosphere like Ridley Scott did in Alien, and Talk Talk did on Spirit of Eden. I love that riff at 5:07 in "A Season in the Sky", and the song is half over by then. Including that one dissonant chord that sounds 'off' -- there's something so perfectly 'off' about it. Auto-tune must seem so quaint to them. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good blast of an album that doesn't let up, like Shotgun Messiah's Violent New Breed -- but too many other bands don't understand how to contrast dynamics like this. They think, "oh, let's just play a ballad", when what they needed to do instead is to just project -- I don't know what, whatever the mood entails -- malice, grief, transformation, an undercurrent of potential energy, a DC offset, premonition of the heaviness to come...something. NOW OATH BREAKDER SINKS LOW... I mean, they can even make a synthesizer throb heavy...

So I tried to post an animated gif to a friend of mine -- does Android not do animated gifs? It fell kind of flat -- it was that cat with the dilating pupils -- he was telling me I was a hopoholic, and I was posting that pic as a way of agreeing with him -- but alas, all I did was post a picture of a cat to him.

Yeah, I've worked with organizations that received their primary funding on grants. Unfortunately, I don't know you as well -- I just don't know that many givers in real life, go figure. Otherwise I could've tailored it even better. Ah, well... You're a great and generous guy. Seems like the costume has seeped in under your skin. Yay for Vicki, too!

Happy Belated! (party favour noise)

For the Air? EDIT: (does the usual 'wanders off and...' business) EDIT #2: Oh, well look at that.
