Voltron

Black eyed peas?

Bob Dylan -- Together Through Life

I would slap you with my gauntlet, sir, if I only could find it under all of this money!

Heaven and Hell -- The Devil You Know

Still unrelated to the original topic of this thread, but I am going to demo the Amarra system today at Sonic Studio's office. Really nice of them to do this, and I will be hearing to Model 4 unit that combines all of my requirements for hi-rez ad/da, firewire connectivity, and improved music server integrated with iTunes. Should be interesting and I am going to work on getting a unit to CJ09 as well (either Sonic will participate, or they will send a demo with me, or I will own one by then ). Unless I am completely sold on the Amarra immediately, I will also try to procure some demo gear from Vintage King so we can compare Weiss or DAD options...

The only cool place is the meet hotel. Plenty of people out there who might share a room or a couch or whatever.

Happy 364 days until your next birthday Ryan! Cheers!

Contemporary Jazz Monday: Brian Blade -- Moma Rosa (ok, so I didn't know that one of my favorite drummers was releasing his singer/song-writer/guitar player albums when I played it on Rhapsody, but it is pretty good in that light) Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band -- Season of Changes (known quantity post-bop instrumental ) Roy Hargrove -- Earfood Roy Hargrove -- Nothing Serious

Sounds good, but why no rye?

Happy belated dood! Cheers.

^^^What they said! Cheers

Woke up hung over and muddled from a night out with JP at a show. Went to work late just in time for a last-minute meeting with a potential client that didn't actually happen. Worked some then flew to Vegas for my firm's partner retreat. Walking through Mandalay Bay to get to the restaurant for our dinner, my still foggy and freshly alcohol-soaked brain seemed to see Ray and Grace Samuels hanging out with a group of people. After rubbing my eyes, I walked over and shocked the hell our of Ray and Grace actually realized it was me before he even saw me. Their older son is getting married in Vegas tomorrow so I met the family and we chatted a few minutes before I had to run. Small fricken world.

Just had a couple of Davidoff Lights at Mandalay Bay Casino.

Colin is in for the full ride. Nice work young fella! HPA: you should be there dood. Make it happen.

Jenny Lewis -- Acid Tongue

Nah, I'm gonna leave that train of thought right there.

Is that Nate's soldering rig TT?

Jeff Beck at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Great stuff but JP and I were both pretty ripped and the last third of the show is a little blurry.

Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins -- Rabbit Fur Coat

Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan -- Sunday at Dirt Devil Missing them for CanJam. Oh well.

Don't ask dumb questions.

I agree with the win assessment. Listening again.

Damn funny, actually.

Not into mathematicians, sorry.

Someone please photoshop into the driver's seat of that Miata!
