That's funny. I grew up in Raleigh. I moved to Brooklyn earlier this year. It was cool at first and then it slowly kicked in: Waiting 30 minutes for the train late nights and weekends. Walking three blocks with a heavy sack of laundry every week. $5 for a bottle of Budweiser. Astronomical rent price...

where did he find a capo for that thing? or is that a muting device. and if so, what is it called?

This movie is great to see in a theatre with a decent sound system. And the one thing that stuck out to me is how incredible the recordings from the 50s and early 60s sounded, for example, to the more recent re-recording of 'georgia' during the credit roll. One set of recordings has this magic quali...

a magician was driving down the street one day....

Studios will leave their gear on all the time, overnight, etc. until it dies or they get rid of it. And I've also read that some engineers will fre...

relentless self-promotion and persistance.

That's okay. I thought Yassar Arafat died a couple weeks ago too.

I hear they're putting out his out his new material just under the name O.D.

a white friend of mine is dating an asian girl and he doesn't have glasses. And she suggested they go as John & Yoko for halloween, but they couldn't get their act together in time. I also knew an asian guy who was seeing a white girl and he wore contacts. Getting back to the topic, I'm thinking of ...

i keep waiting for the clothes to come COMPLETELY OFF!! It *almost* happened that last time. Wait.. okay, here we go...

she is Alizee. www.moi-alizee.com From Corsica, a French territory in the Mediterranean. I'm saving up all my money to move there someday in the hopes that all thewomen will look (and move) like that. Here is the story, from her website, of how she got discovered: At the age of 11, she entered a dra...

I think this article and this thread do an excellent job of illustrating the cognitive differences between Bush supporters and their opponents. The issue boils down to whether or not your brain can see nuance beyond black and white. I would say a great majority of the population simply cannot. Once ...
