That WAS fun, I saw him, he was starin' at me. He looks chubby, or should I say she. Is she up the stick, is that why? I resisted lauging this long, but you are a psychological warrior that I am no more. Hard to believe we cut them up in biology. I got in trouble for cutting all the fat deposits off, which looked like little yellow fingers where the ribcage should be. Frogs aint got no ribcages, thats why they so angry. I saw one live without its head for 2 days once, I swear.. only a red circle where the neck was and this severed tube hanging and sucking in air... it was wild. -- http://hydrallus.blogspot.com

You ~listen~ to Luke Slater??!!! ^seek That first Luke Slater (Freakfunk?) was a really cool record. That last thing he did was fucking horrible. I consider "From a Distance" to be worse than anything on the last Luke Slater record. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.

Natural Cycles
by b broo 24 Sep '04

24 Sep '04

Don't know if anyone is interested in this subject, but for a future project I've been looking around for NATURALLY occuring sounds and cycles, and thought I would share these: If anyone has any more suggestions I would really appreciate them - thanks. A) "It's just the sun" - listen to the sun (scroll down to bottom left). http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0407/feature1/zoom10m.html "Bubbles the size of Texas cover the face of the sun. Called granules, these giant convection cells of plasma carry heat to the surface, the same way water boils in a pot. The rise and fall of granules creates sound waves, which cause the sun to throb like a drum". Also: sun's 22 year cycle - did you know that the sun's magnetic pole reverses every 11 years, and that the sun's magnetic activity is varying in 100,000-year cycles, (this solar activity, in turn, may likely cause the 100,000-year climate cycles on earth). There has got to be a religion in this - church of the holy cycle? B) Take a one-minute vacation from the life you are living - scroll down and listen http://www.quietamerican.org/vacation.html C) Sounds of naturally-occurring electromagnetic (radio) signals emanating from lightning storms, aurora (The Northern and Southern Lights), and most importantly, the Earth's magnetic-field (the Magnetosphere). http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/mcgreevy/ cheers, bbroo _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

new System 7?
by Alan Evil 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

This is newer than the live thing? Someone update me, I seem to have been sleeping. To whomever posted about the Japanese dates for System 7, I feel ya. A trip to Japan for ONE of the shows would probably cost me me three months' income. That's frightening. And I've probably got a place to stay while I'm there! So what's this I hear about a Mad Professor "Orb" collaboration (did you notice I put quotes around the word "Orb" to show my contempt for the last album)? That might actually be good. Considering that B&T is worse than the last Luke Slater record by a mile... ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.

I was just at Julee Cruise.net and I am officially the first member and only person listening... very funny that nobody cares.... well, nobody besides the person who started the dedicated radio station and server... check it out at http://www.juleecruise.net Many of the songs are very familiar sounding. And hey, if its good enough for Alex its good enough for me. P.S. On the subject of the Orb B2M... Whats the deal with his brother? How did he die? They must have been close... its sad.
