    1. Reference the linked vid, when people talk about CNC machining, they mean "computer numerically controlled," right? Is that not a redundancy, like "Eyes examined while you wait"? Because aren't analog computers something that disappeared a long time ago, except on thermostats?

  1. Spirit was actually a pretty cool [band]. I just bought an LP of theirs as a matter of fact, and it has a coupla good songs and a lotta bad filler. But the idea that it is the heirs of one of the band members doing this seems, as glass says, pretty venal.

    Remember when the Chiffons sued George Harrison because[three notes] of "My Sweet Lord" were the same as three freaking notes in "He's so fine"?

    1. We've been making music almost as long as we've been on the planet, pretty much all the notes have been used up.

      Here's another [band] from the same era you may or may not be familiar with, who I liked better.

      1. Nice R&B beat, didn't know the band. Now that I'm an audio snob I can't bear to listen to music on computer speakers, so the horns and bass on that sound thin and weak.

        1. I need to upgrade my computer speakers, too.

          One of the best female vocalists ever passed through The Loading Zone, Linda Tillery. I think she's still out there, though she'd be near 70 by now.

          1. The upgrade path leads to endless tweaking, $1,100 RCA cables and like. I should know.

            But you should consider a USB DAC if you don't already have one.

  2. That's very nice. The "classical" version of Rodrigo's "Concierto di Aranjuez" has some of the most dazzlingly difficult guitar riffs I've ever heard.

  3. "But immortality is nontransferable… Gods do not answer letters"

    -John Updike

    Edit: got it almost right but not quite.

  4. Intense Debate posted my comment, but blank. It was a perhaps too wordy and link-y comment complimenting and comparing Carbe-Durand to Rodrigo y Gabriela.
