Ran across this very early DEVO video this evening, and I can't help but chuckle.

Time-lapse of the French Alps, in 4K. I've been to France a couple of times but didn't realize these landscapes existed there. https://petapixel.com/2023/08/11/journey-through-the-french-alps-in-this-beautiful-4k-timelapse/

Okay. I'd not really watched this series much before, mostly because "Sheldon" was my least-favorite character on the old Friends show, which I watched a bit when I was stationed in ND because it was -25˚ outside and dark since 3:30 pm. But tonight it came on when I was distracted, and it...

Here the guys on the "Dead Wax" channel compare and constrast Jaco's "Teen Town" (from Heavy Weather) to Vulfpek's "Dean Town" (not a comparison I would've caught). With guest Adam Neely (a monster musician/teacher). The discussion gets deep in the weeds where only a musician would enjoy, but...

>Bump!< https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/08/09/rodriguez-sugar-man-dead/ Rodriguez died yesterday, age 89. I need to dig out his CDs and give them another listen.

It was fun. Yeah, just a few drops of rain, when you're 20˚ from horizontal... :shocked:

Shoot. After doing some digging it looks like NBC had been showing all races this year, first I've noticed!

The races I've caught so far were both in the US (so only 2 televised races/season), but I see today at 1:00 MST they're broadcasting today's race in Great Britain, w00t! I hope they eventually broadcast all the races, would hold me over until football season.

My turn. Prices have escalated in the last two years, owch! Lennox heat pump, 22 SEER, 99%-efficient, with a lifetime P&L guarantee (we'll see how that holds up when a compressor goes out in 15 years). Replaced an R22 A/C and gas furnace, both 23 years old. I was disappointed that it was as...

Interesting; what is the purpose of the rods?

Blast From The Past, but it feels like they never left. Pomplamoose, her singing in French, with a loud drum loop, a 3-note flugel solo, and Larry Goldings (Larry Golding Jr?) on weirdo keys. Beautiful.

Digging thru Roger Nichols' estate his daughter found this completed Schlitz beer commercial, by The Dan! It never aired, possibly because even in the 70's what they did with helium could be considered racist (<== and that's a sentence I never expected to write)...

I had forgotten how beautiful this piece was. Full speakers, or at least headphones, if you can.

Um, I've never seen a soundbar with full surround/sub system included, thought that was unique but maybe it isn't. (I'm definitely out of the loop, haven't shopped for anything other than TV/Receiver in the last ten years) nm

Caleb does an unboxing (not full review yet) of a soundbar/satellite/quad-subwoofer system from Nakamichi. Interesting concept, and it sounded great thru the speakers on my Macbook. :D

Only 250 being made, reserve yours now! https://www.businessinsider.com/linn-turntable-jony-ive-designed-apple-iphone-record-player-2023-7

Very unusual, this one. Glancing thru the comments I see I wasn't the only guy thinking this could be on a Peanuts TV special.

EDIT to the above post. Steve Perry DID do have a half-verse, I didn't remember it (Killed that brain cell of mine earlier, I guess). Springsteen and Dylan got too much mic time, as did (imnsho) Ray Charles. And Willie N. should've not tried to harmonize at all, what a punch-bowl turd...

I wasn't a big fan of this song/video when it hit (and wow did it HIT), but it was very impressive to have that many big names in one room, on one song. The "Professor of Rock" interviewed a few of the folks in the session, with some interesting background info (for me, anyway). When I read...

Jacob Collier, Live at the Hollywood Bowl! Okay, no one else was there, but it was live at the Hollywood Bowl. A big departure for him, just his single voice and an acoustic guitar (big change from his amazing, multi-track extravaganzas with tangled vox and multi-instruments). I rank this...
