Unholy carp! I've subscribed to Fax since, like, year two. Or maybe three. Discovered him because he did a collaboration with one of my heroes, Klaus Schulze (The Dark Side of the Moog). Been following him faithfully ever since. I has a sad.

Did you ever check out Neurosis' The Eye of Every Storm? That one, in particular, not necessarily anything else by them.

Isis, Temporal, SGNL>05, Live VI - 11/16/2007, Live V 07.23.06, Live IV (2001-2005), Live III 12.17.04, Live II 03.19.03, Live I 09.23.03, Wavering Radiant, In the Absence of Truth, Panopticon, Oceanic, Celestial, The Red Sea, Not in Rivers, But in Drops, Holy Tears, and then In the Fishtank 14 with Aerogramme. Not necessarily in that order. I do so love post-metal/post-apocalyptic-stoner-grunge-sludge/whatever this is/Isis.

Holy shit, Ulysse Nardin Hammerhead?!?!? Jelly...

I stopped by the Pop Tart aisle in the grocery store today, and apparently Apple has been discontinued. I wonder how long ago this has happened. Oh hey, did you know you could personalize a box of Pop Tarts? I might have to photograph my lips sideways. (And yes, I have about two weeks' worth of growth, which is like five days' worth of growth on anyone else.)

The most amazing thing about that act is keeping the cat from getting distracted by her ponytail.

That really needs to be made into a "Snail...what are you doing...snail...stahp..." Either that or Billy from Family Circus was reincarnated as a snail.

Is it possible there's some static charge or really mild magnetism holding the pieces to the drivers? You could try de-staticking them with a ZeroStat, but I don't know what to do about the magnetism other than to try defeating it with a really mild magnetic field while cleaning it (I.E. magnets close but not touching)...? Not sure that would even work, so verify my suggestion before trying it. Unless you have a cheap headphone around that you can use for that purpose.

Not likely, as the two are different phases of the conversion process.

(they're watching one of the suspects having sex on video -- his alibi) blah blah blah Gates: Good job. Everyone. Keep it up. Castle, under breath to Esposito: No. Too easy.

Unholy carp Season Two?!?!? If on DVD, I hope you're watching the commentaries as well. Those are some fun-ass commentaries. "So what are you thinking right now?" "That my face really does belong on the head of a coin."

Castle. Best. Episode. Ever.

Dude, no rental company with any sense would rent anyone a Yugo. That just don't make sense.

Bottom up.

[Rorschach]Hrm....[/Rorschach]

Dead Wallet Walking Allow me to save you a little bit of grief: SA-CD.net These people are extremely harsh critics of sound quality. So if you -- like me -- get overly enamored with the sound of DSD...well, it's like the equivalent of a cold shower.

You think it's PVD? Because then it would literally be a golden shower.

Doucet. Lollers They look...uh...warm.

There's some good stuff in there. You're in for some aural bliss. Good thing you're not into Genesis or Peter Gabriel, though. Oh, and god help you if you're into classical at all.

I wonder if Patrick De Meyer is any relation to Jean-Luc De Meyer, whom I've met, albeit only briefly and in the most typical of circumstances (post concert adulation in a club-ly lit club). Also, in an unrelated point of interest, his wife is in that video. Just goes to show -- musicians get da babes, even if all they do is program a bunch of synthesizers.

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing.

They look monstrous to those worried about WAF, but to those of us who will have sex with aliens or robots, they're hawt. Also, it's nice to see Simon Pegg doing some side work.

I need to see a St. Sanders "...shreds" version of that video. Also: See description, lollers.

Yeah, I think it's because you're Santa Claus. Comes with the territory. My tolerance for sugar is getting worse and worse, but every once in a while, I have to have Pop Tarts. One of the few places I prefer chocolate, despite it being some of the most fake-tasting chocolate (or perhaps because), though I enjoy brown sugar cinnamon and frosted apple. Have you tried the high fiber ones or the diet ones yet? That's almost good for you. Snarky response: Which one's your favourite? Mine's Kylie Minogue.

Happy Birthday, Dinny! (party favour noise)
