Funny story: so I went to Sugarloaf -- a crafts festival, to talk to Lucy about a blanket, maybe a coat, see what she had, etc. While I'm there, this cute couple are there, too. And the girl -- who is really nice and friendly -- points at me, and says to the guy, "look, he's wearing your shirt". I said, "whu...?" He said, "yeah, I'm Stan Whitaker". (I just happened to be wearing my Happy The Man "hippy" T-shirt that day. It has rainbow colors on it, which I thought was appropriate considering I was going to a crafts festival.) My knees buckled. Literally. So we talked for a bit (I actually complained that they never released the Live at the State album -- a show I attended), I bought a blanket, and when I went back for the blanket, they had left a message for me with Lucy that I should visit them where they were playing, at which point they basically played and devoted an entire set to me. It was great. I bought everything they had -- Oblivion Sun, Pedal Giant Animals, and of course, a Stan and LeeAnne something or other. Signed, of course. I think they gave me the S&LA CD. They did a really rockin' version of Black Horse and the Cherry Tree. He's amazing to watch up close. He makes it look easy, but he's one of those people who actually looks more comfortable with a guitar than without. They strike me as the sort of people who'd remember me if they ever saw me again. Which is why I say, "sort of" -- I'm not exactly receiving Christmas cards from them, but they made me feel like I knew them at a personal level, and more importantly, vice versa.

I'm sure the bear thinks it's already cool.

returned from the detour to finish R y G, also listened to their Live iTunes Session, and am now on to LotR:RotK.

In one.

Jayne Cobb hat

I might have to go to that. I know one of the guys in Oblivion Son (sort of), really like Beardfish and PFM (of course), and Gong of course (although they get a little weird for my tastes). Plus, it's on a weekend.

Taking a detour from R y G for some Kenji Kawai/Ghost in the Shell goodness.

You guys really don't understand the cryotreatment, do you? It gets made cold, yes, but by the time you use it, it's warmed up again.

Yeah, but it "outgrew" "inexpensive".

Things to Do with a Cadbury Cream Egg from That Happened!

Yes, actually, that was very useful, thanks.

Carat-Topaz? What an unfortunately named product!

Apparently, since there was no immediate threat (I.E. they didn't look like they were about to shoot him), they had to wait for the kill order from Obama. As soon as he gave the go ahead, it was pretty much over.

Have we had this thread yet? I found humanflyz' short whisk(e)y one, but not a whole lot of talk. I need to expand my palette, so where should I go? Also, any recommendations on reading/online sites? Wine Advocate/Spectator? Others?

SO SAY WE ALL, MOTHERFUCKER! alright, maybe a little pent up

We can be a bit random.

There is nothing pent up about our disdain.

Flamenco duets done rock'n'roll -- if you like "Friday Night in San Francisco" and rock'n'roll (they cover Metallica & Led Zeppelin and the like, though usually sticking with originals, but then they have it produced by rock producers), you'd like.

Post your specs, if I have any memory lying around that you can use, you're welcome to it.

Rodrigo y Gabriela, Live in Japan -- this is the best

I'm already taking Astelin and Nasonex.
