You should play poker with them -- easy money.

That's okay, I didn't see that coming either, and I thought I knew these guys.

He also got accepted to MIT. And lost a lot of money at poker.

Yeah, it was canceled. And: no worries, I'm over it. See:

Nah, that's $80 and a place to spend the night that I don't want to spend right now. But don't think I didn't look.

Year of No Light, Ausserwelt -- gaze-y instrumental post-metal -- melikey.

It's only an 8 hour drive (5 via google maps, plus three for stopping at Once Upon a Vine & Once Upon a Vine South). (wanders off to check Amtrak schedules)

Giant Chewy Nerds I should probably eat something more healthy for me, but for some reason, I have a case of the munchies. ("Hey hey we're the munchies...")

Good call on this one, I can tell it's going to be a repeat listener. It's got a certain Ghost-like quality to it, but it's all rather low-key.

<whine>I just found out today that a concert I was going to go to tomorrow was canceled (Killing Joke). Same thing happened several weeks ago -- Social Distortion canceled. Plus I was sick for the Epica show.</whine>

Green apple flavored Hi-Chew.

Apogee Mini-DAC? No remote? Firewire is an option. Musical Fidelity X-Can V8p? Again, no remote (this time, I'm sure). Comes with USB, though, but no Toslink. Headroom something? The one that comes with the speakers?

I think she was asking whether or not it was user error, or a characteristic of the kit.

Mr. Beer is the big name in home brew kits, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best first choice -- I've even seen these at Total Wine. So confirmation from someone who knows better would be nice.

Chilly Gonzales, Ivory Tower -- how is it I've never heard of this guy before? He's huge, and he's been around forever. Accompanied Peaches on her one-woman reworking of Jesus Christ Superstar; produced, remixed, and recorded and whatnot a brazillion peoples; pianist extraordinaire; Guiness Book of World Records record-holder.

Looked more like frozen strawberries or raspberries -- can I go with frozen raspberry-covered melting chocolate please? Frozen Yak Shit is one of those foodie "delicacy" things that I don't get, no?

Jay Munly, Jimmy Carter Syndrome -- if this is anywhere near as strong as the first track ("My Darling Sambo"?), I can tell this is going to be a sleeper hit with me...kind of reminds me of later Spiritualized, in the confidence of the delivery, the gospel-y aspects, and the roots-ish-ness to it...

I was distracted by (a) the complete lack of fat jowls, and/or ( how happy he looks.
