Hey, non-Facebook readers -- can you see this image? Please let me know if not, and I will rehost.

I've only listened to it once so far, but...the real pretty one. Happy? Lock Howl? The first track is killer, probably an excellent "single". I was probably oversold on it -- I was told it was akin to Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden which it's not. So now that I'm over that, will give it another chance. Me, now: Orcas -- now this is post-rock. Very patient, with a shoegazer-esque pace, but without all the effects. Very strong on atmosphere -- now this is akin to Spirit of Eden.

Storm Corrosion

Yeah, that was outstanding, read it a few months ago. Been on an Alastair Reynolds kick lately, he's been totally on the mark with me. I think his strength is his description of the epic chases -- things that would totally not translate to film (I'm looking at you, Star Trek: The Movie), his pacing in the books is perfect. Also just started the Dresden Files. Hey, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean an invisible demon isn't about to eat your face.

EBM on Spotify

Mongrels -- most hilarious show since Archer. I know of no other show that has a paean to not quite underage love ("What a Difference a Day Makes"). Lots of gruesome death, political incorrectness, references to contemporary culture, and slap-downs. Show got cancelled, but you can watch the entire series on Hulu. Season 2, episode 2 is the best one, and I don't think you need to watch them in order, but you might as well. Makes me laugh. Also Community (just finishing season), Castle (finished season), and Ringer (a little lost on that one). Waiting for season 3 of Archer from a friend. Need to catch up on Homeland and Game of Thrones (haven't started either one -- well, just the pilot of Homeland).

I'd probably go with a $400 Sony Vaio laptop and a pair of MDR-7506/-V6's. I've been listening to this combination quite a bit lately, and there's a nice bit of synergy between the Sony'ses.

Catherine Wheel on Spotify \m/

May be old, I have no idea, I only went back one page:

VNV Nation, Crossing the Divide EP -- free download (actually, I haven't figured out the free download part of it, I'm just streaming).

Really? I'm not allowed to respond? Because if you'll look, that's my first response since you and his dickiness responded. Excuse me for being on a different time schedule than you guys on the weekend. And excuse me for not being in a time of minimal stress. Whatevs.

Lollers Me: some trashy potstickers from Wegmans, but I was hungry, so it was good.

Raison d'Extra

Finished this. Yeah, that was definitely worth the ride. Also started and finished Spellbound by Kelley Armstron -- YARGH, I hate fucking cliffhangers. Uh...spoiler alert. Started The Loving Dead -- for porn, this is hilarious. Or, another way to look at it -- for a comedy, this is impressively explicit.

Yeah? And I like non-dickish head-case better. Oh wait, that doesn't exist... Dick.

I just want to reiterate how much I appreciate this alternative. I have as many of my windows set to "submarine colors" as I can, and this is a lot less painful on my eyes. That said, I do recognize that I am more sensitive to light than others, and realize that I am in the minority, so have the choice is the best option.

Pfff...not by a long shot. I think they're just at the leading edge of realizing their mistake.

That image reminds me a little bit too much of the drunk Hasselhoff video. Dude, stick with chicken for a little bit.

OMG, that sounds wonderful, must track some down.

Oh, how is it (the imperial stout)? Impressions please. Me: Stillwater Autumnal

I have the 10-CD set (and know [roughly] where it is!), so if you want me to do some screencaps, I can. And/or whatever else you need.

Okay, yeah, that might be better. But now I want some grape soda.

I did blurple and black.

Life & Limb (finishing the first bottle from last night) So good. Dreamy-eyed frog is dreamy-eyed. ~______________________________~
