Oceansize, Feed to Feed -- jesus christ these guys are good, probably a little too ambient/chill for the current Porcupine Tree crowd, but they do wallop once in a while (probably proportionately less than PT). Also more indie-sounding. And British. Which in my book is a good thing. Lead vocalist sounds somewhere between Joe Jackson and Eddie Vedder. In some ways, I like them better than PT. It's too bad this is limited, I'll try to get a copy, but I'm not paying more than retail for it. Especially if the band doesn't see the extra dosh. Oh, and what it is: get this -- 3 DVD/4 CD souvenir of the event of a series of live concerts in which, to celebrate their birthday, they played their entire catalog. So they didn't just play entire albums, they played all of their entire albums...er...all of their albums in their entirety, that is. EDIT: Plus, they funny: Here, gib a listen.

What's funny is, on a Windows machine, a clean install means you're less inept.

(party favor noise)

Yeah, $600 is a killer price.

I prefered it when it had blood and was called a Gwar concert...but that was still pretty cool. I endorse the cheerleader eating movement.

I love the Baltimore Aquarium.

Kitty looks like Kitty finds whatever quite soothing, ackshully.

Hey, Nebby, glad you made it safe, tell us about your trip after you catch your breath.

@1:10: "insert special character" I still want those 3 oversize monitors. [billy]Can you imagine running iTunes on that?[/billy]

Jesus, pics plz? (Feel free to post in 'post pics of your rigs' or something.)

It's an overgeneralization, but yes, that is what I was saying. It's worth trying for yourself, there should be plenty on the used market, and you should be able to buy one to try at home in your own system and sell it if you don't like it at minimum financial loss to you.

Well, you could go double-blind, but wouldn't really surprise me if you couldn't tell the difference. Not you, personally, but...anyone. Also, you could now try two weeks at a time, to test for the fatigue factor.

Welcome aboard the good ship Quad 12L-A-Fanclub.

Sweet.

I coulda cleared off the driveway before I left this morning, but I didn't feel breaking out the broom.

Possibly -- my memory cells appear to have been replaced with some inert gelatinous substance. Apple butter? Oh, and that's quite the incongruous pair of countries, if I may say so.

Oatmeal raisin cookie. I paid US$1.49.

I wanna show you something, this is my "woot" face -- I just did this with this thread. Can you say, "Ouroboros"? Me neither. Yes, it could be more convenient, but the bigger challenge is "browsing" to whatever I want to read on the Kindle itself.

LOL @ paper iPad. Printing it out now...

I hate when that happens.

Okay, I'll bite: you're not a US citizen? From what country do you hail?

That sounds right. You might even be able to -- instead of completely snipping off the lobe -- just cutting the 90 degree side down to 45, so that it slips both on the way in and on the way out. Give people a sense of (its) purpose. (leaves room for KY Jelly/vaseline joke)

[meryl streep]I had a farm winery in Africa.[/streep]

Atos Trio, Beethoven/Schubert/Schumann

Okay, Mr. K1000-fan.
