I believe if I understand this correctly, this is all the drummers with whom Tony Levin has ever played

Not sure why this popped up on my YouTube feed, but glad it did -- this is outstanding 70s funk fusion. Rip Ryo

That's not a leaf? (takes off glasses, wipes them with a microfiber cloth, a la Dr. Bunsen Honeydew)

Yeah, I can't really hear the difference either, especially through my Equators, which are my primary source of listening these days (best $300 I ever spent). That said, I still prefer knowing it's lossless over Spotify Premium, it's just a psychology thing to me -- if I think it's better, then it's better, innit? I kind of wish I could convince myself that "bits is bits", but I suspect whenever I finally get around to putting together any of my better systems (Gallo 3.1 or Dynaudio Special Twenty Fives or JMLab (Focal) whatevers I have), I will be able to hear the difference. But yeah, by all means, go with your own findings, they are the only ones that matter!

Was: Superfat! Rawk! Is (technically, also was, but more recently was, as opposed to priorly was): New Elder! (Also rawk!)

Heavy as a marble slab. Dirge. Monolithic. These are words. https://tidal.com/album/132683354

So...basically biscuits with pork barbecue topping, eh?

Was this posted already? So good, I'm not taking a chance that it hasn't been.

I think I prefer this to the album version.

The ones with Edgar Froese are much better than the ones after his death. The ones with just Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane, and Ulrich Schnauss are just a pale shadow of the real deal. And I'm not saying that as some kind of nitpicker, the difference is night and day. There's absolutely no sense of melody in the newer material.

I wanna know how they got Aimee Mann to smile...and on drums...

I made sloppy joes yesterday. It’s basically the same as my goulash recipe, except I run everything through a food processor first. Jar of pasta sauce (I used a Fra Diavola(?sp) this time) 1 can tomato paste 1 thing of mushrooms 1 thing of cauliflower 13 stalks of celery Cumin White pepper Black pepper Hungarian hot paprika 1 whole onion 5 red Thai peppers 1 package of ground meat (I used chicken this time) Beef broth Rice to soak up the extra liquid, and change the consistency from soupy to sloppy-joey And a dollop of garlic to taste no olives this time Bonus techno-fuckery

Unholy carp, Dusty needs to hear! Me, right now: some very nice krautrock:

What are you saying, it’s going to float to the top? *ki-ki-ki*

Now you’re making me wish Me First and the Gimme Gimmes covered more songs, including Fleetwood Mac.

Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 hey, @Fitz, the tachikomas are back!

I would love to hear these ladies cover Landslide.

I’m just jealous of your weather, don’t mind me. It was a reference to that old prediction that everything West of the San Andreas Fault was going to fall into the ocean. Not sure why it’s no longer spoken in polite company...

I’m with you on that. Way back when I was a lad, I didn’t listen to much pop music, but I did listen to these two albums (and a handful of others). I taped them on a single 90 minute cassette to listen in the car, and have thought of them together ever since.

The feature I enjoy most is “track radio” as a way of discovering similar new music. It doesn’t work as well for classic rock, as they tend to lump all classic rock together, and if the music is too new, it tends not to exist, but it’s almost always worth it to me to check.
