what an OG

Come back!

Also, Birds and Buildings are a definite highlight - they have two albums out so far, both are worth checking out.

Yes, well, there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the band. If you mean modern prog, then I'm not too keen on it. I don't like most of the "monster" bands in the genre of the last two decades. My firm favorite in the current prog scene is Beardfish, here's a couple of things by them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-euq4DsMIA, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEW5_iVIz4. One of the few bands today (at least in prog) where you feel that they're really doing music for the fun of it. And nice lyrics, which is always a rarity. If you like them, check out the albums "Destined Solitaire" or "Mammoth", I think that's the best place to start.

Is that Terence McKenna you've got up there?

Hey boy.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor, eh? Very good, young man.

So do I.

some gif that is

my laptop died so i dont have any of the comps. rapidshare changed their policy so those links are not available no more. i'll upload you that when i can.

That doesn't sound ridiculous.

Continuously travel the globe until the day I die. What do you want to do?

That is a very broad question. Whatever I want to do.

The Clintons aren't kinksters but cigar aficionados.

Yeah, First Families are filled with kinksters. The Carters got off on shoving raw peanuts up their noses. The Bushes, well, what's in a name? In their case, everything.

I always suspected that the Reagans were huge Edward Weston fans. http://www.brianappelart.com/images/articles/100720-spring-2010-new-york-photo/385-N08624-Weston-Civilian-Defense.jpg

Nancy Reagan never had a lingerie closet. Everyone knows she goes commando.

The failure of book three which that formerly ten-year old girl thought would be her magnum opus lead her to abandon writing. The identity crisis resulting from no longer being a "gentlewoman of letters" lead her find new purpose from what she perceived as the only postive thing left in her life, the Sudanese Silver Rifle. Mistaking the ability to chose accurate words to describe the physical appearance of animals for actual knowledge of animals, she took up animal husbandry and restyled herself into a "gentlewoman farmer." Tragically, her entire herd of North African ewes quickly succumbed to what the police report listed as "morbid constipation with secondary alcohol poisoning" due to her erroneous belief that North African ewes can subsist on gruyère and champagne. The farm reeked for weeks.

That childish attempt at writing which is her autobiography may have been her best seller but she went on to write a series known as the Bunny books. Her protagonist "Bunny" is a thinly veiled version of herself. The first book in the series, "Brew Bunny, Brew!" introduces our hero and documentents the ennui of her life as young housewife who dreams of being a burlesque fan dancer. The next in the series, "Bunny Bumps Beelzebub" follows Bunny and her new acquaintance Beelzebub (a character based on LaVey) as they continuously travel westward around the planet in an attempt to turn back time and place Bunny on a vaudeville stage so she can fulfill her fan dancing dream. The series is considered a masterpiece in fiction writing since it is written entirely in the present perfect tense.

Surprisingly LaVey was literally a teetotaler. Darjeeling, Longjing, Earl Grey, he couldn't get enough of the stuff and excluded all other beverages. He went so far as to insist that cookies be called "biscuits" in his presence. Before his death he had learned to knit in the hope of creating his own line of teapot cozies.

I know exactly who you're talking about because she carried that Aphex Twin record around all the time. It was a treasured possession because Aleister Crowley had used it for a coaster and left a coffee cup ring on the cover. Her name is Sharon or Astrid or Quetzalcoatl, I'm not sure but it was some name with an "A" in it. She and I used to hang out at the salt lick all the time.

Quills become me.

Yes indeedy, you've discovered a diamond in the rough.

When is you coming home? Me, the last 2 weeks of december.

oh no no, it is absolutely okay! hah, I read that book but did not see the film! I have to... if Ch. G. is in it. also Atonement is fine as book but as film is much better! Bukowski? I do not either... haha, late-teen fixation? then for me maybe early-teen fixation. good point! he loved cats, Lindas and so on. Yes, Irving is great.. and what most do you like from Kafka?

yes! me too. he is divine. I love Exupéry, Irving, Rowling, Bukowski, Dahl, Wilde... and Mc Ewan! have you read any book from any of them?

interested in Franz Kafka? nice!

Hey. Happy birthday man. How is everything going? Classes and shit?

No offense taken, it's very true. I'm not looking for sympathy, nor do I indulge myself in thinking of what I should have done constantly. Les Fleurs du Mal is Baudelaire's most famous work, it's a collection of poems that centers around six distinct themes, many that were pretty controversial at times. Pretty light read, taking my time with it since I haven't had the chance to read too frequently recently. Do you read poetry? Someone recommended Vernon God Little to me before, how is it?

Haha, I'm pretty jealous. Electrical engineering is one of the many subjects I was pondering on majoring in, and I regretted not choosing it for a while. I probably wouldn't have been able to stick with it, however, if I did choose to go into that field. I wish I could multiply myself, there are so many things I want to do. I'm currently reading Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal. A friend was making me read Fifty Shades of Gray, but the writing style wasn't my thing so I gave up on that. I probably would've been pissed off by their negative portrayal of BDSM culture anyway. How about you?

Awesome. What type of engineering?

Even I am on it.

Iva Bittová & Vladimir Václavek's Bile Inferno and Iva Bittová & Dorothea Kellerová's 44 Duets for Two Violins are amazing.

It is pretty cool. I'm an accounting student, what do you do?

You should really check out Iva Bittová. You will like that shit.

That's pretty awesome. Do you still live there?

I am a Japanese who was born in Japan, but I'm currently in the U.S. Sorry to disappoint. Where are you from?

Well, I do love women as well, so that might contribute to my added appreciation for their hair. Though there are others who cherish them, I can adore my own hair as well. If you ever do come meadow hopping with me, I can help make yours hospitable and adorn it with hollyhocks and poppies.

More like music for in between the sheets and warmth of a woman's hair. Meadow hopping is always a great pastime, as long as you can find the right meadow.

Possible. Losing track of things is my specialty.

Those caricatures are unbelievable! Love the Paul Muldoon one. Did you draw them? If so, please note I'm writing a Ph.D. on Plath...... :)

Greetings Ayan-Ray, great lists you have here. I love the caricatures too - they remind me of John Springs or Charles Griffin.

Did you draw these? If so, damn superb! ==>

Yo nigger, what you listening to? I no understando.

Thank you :-) I would not assimilate a common sense cultural image to you only by knowing where you're from. Most of the people normally go this way, but I'm one of those who belive that the many assemblies of a culture never come across one direction-one perception-one single story. I have the external impression that India is a giant place that cannot be assorted, it's a country very diversified in many spheres. Would you recommend me a band similar to Philip Glass or Julia Kent (the ones Lastfm is telling we like in common)? And would you tell me about the best song you heard today? If you don't want to, I'll understand!

Your musical selections are brilliant, uau! I'm curious, why did you add me? Where are you from?

Hi there.

hey, thank you for the link you send me two weeks ago. for the last fortnight i hardly ever have had access to the internet so i couldn't check it out, but surely i'm going to do so soon. :) and you're right - i obviously love Dean Wareham :))

Actually i love gotan project. You should try listening to Astor Piazolla. This one is really GOOD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNwBoUCXhyI. :)

Goa definitely sounds doable. Even I an mostly coming on 27th or 28th. It will after a long time that all of us are in the same city.
