ot: macs are pretty

Macs have viruses too. Don't be naïve not this one far as I know. But seriously I didn't mean to bash pc's, I was just stating that when I took the plunge to buy a computer I should have ponied up and bought the mac I wanted, rather than the pc I was willing to pay for. And of course no system is completely safe from attacks. My naive and non computer savvy brain became frustrated with not knowing what to do causing me to "lash" out on the orblist aginst windows based systems. I actually like my pc but still suffer from mac envy. I never meant to start a debate but thanks to all for the education.

blasted RPC shutdown worm shite!!!!!!!I got your friggin' 60 seconds right here :p what the hell is a love san anyway? I guess I was fooling myself thinking why would anyone attack my computer(exept the recording industry....maybe?). oh well at least I had adventures beyond, uforb, pomme fritz, and orblivion to calm me while I fixed it. I shoulda bought a mac when I had the chance. Corbett p.s. After watching the video for from a distance I almost found myself enjoying it(the video sure made me smile anyway) _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Pan Toes Cares!!!

Alex a tosser? Thats pretty dark coming from a sold out MF'r like you Thrash. No I take that back, I'm just testing my Cock-Knee chops. I saw Orb once at Area One and this little poof wanted this girl to go see Sucubus or Incubus I mean and she wanted to stay. He said "The Orb sux.... its not even techno." Here i was finally front row enjoyin a spliff and I wanted to split his nuts from the head to the back of his arse.... but his balls had'nt even dropped yet so... seein how it was ambient music I'm supposed to chill to... what would Thrashy had done? On by birthday eve Feb 6th , 2002 I met Alex, 5 sheets to the wind on Thug Passions and Red Stripes. His entorage all had purposes... Take LX to the bathroom.. Watch for snipers... Keep idiots like me from spillin drinks on Alex. I kept yellin over the music and spittin and stuff so finally he said, "I can't have you yellin at me.. .youre too loud." I agreed and skulked drunkenly into my corner. He later came over and apologized and I fake wrestled him like a big brother and got him a pint (bottle w/out charger :( ) of Guiness and then got even drunker and fell down the stairs. The whole point is Alex cares... even enough to babysit my drunk ass so w/out those droogies who bore the insignia of the evil luminate, he's just like you and me. I think he is a shriner myself..... long live the masonic lodge!!!!!

<< Naw hes nice He just doesn't know his ass from his elbow Dunno how else to put it really >> so you are saying he is a decent human being, but somewhat clueless? is that it? or that he is a generally good guy, but he has started to believe all the hype, and thus become an egotistical bastard? i find that the later happens quite often to people... for example, Chris Brann used to hang out at college with me and a group of others. heck, i once helped throw a party when he played synthpop in a dorm room. and then when Wandue hit it really big in the UK, he became an asshole without time to deal with us peons. so i can believe that LX is difficult to deal with now.... i too met LX once -- my birthday in 1994 when he and DJ Lewis were doing a DJ tour. i was so baked, but i got him to autograph my copy of U.F.Orb, and then a group of folks all stood araound and chatted. some freakish girl gave him a gift of an elaborate painting on rolled up canvas that was "inspired by his music" and she spent a long time trying to explain it the assembled smoke-addled folks. very wierd. however, the point of the story is that i have no real impression of the man, as we didn't really get to interact. never met Thrash. dunno if i ever saw him perform either. that DJ set was the first time i saw anything Orb-ish. then i saw the 1997 tour. you were gone by the time they hit the States, right Thrashy? so, when is the Madonna thingie gonna go on tour? we could use some decent music in ATL.....

Tortoise Smokes Roaches
by bobby dig 14 Aug '03

14 Aug '03

I know alot of orb fans are tortoise fans. recently at a Prefuse 73 show I granted Johnny Herndon the chance to smoke a few of my delicious roaches. He responded, in kynd, by giving me a Grape Dope ep of his "laptop" music. Funny thing is I didnt know who he was until i got home and online and was like "holy herndon, its the Tortoise drummer." Anyhow I had meet Alex at the same exact spot, The Ascot Room, on my birthday (i will tell you about Alex babysitting me drunk sometime) and I asked if he "knew" him, to which he replied "yeah, i know alex p." Now that i think about it he probably "knew" knew him. I am a dolt in many ways, but I smoke good grass... lemme know feedback. Bobby d, Dolt and Clockwork Orange fan.. P.s. see any orbsters at Radiohead in alpine valley, WI next weekend? _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

<< Nowadays, of course, both hardware and software is comparable, but Macs still remain a favourite with musos! >> people use what they are familiar with. and i know that i have seen a few bands with PCs. mostly you see Mac laptops. i think that Her Space Holiday used a PC, and i saw some band who had a PC laptop turned so that i could see the display. and dear god they were using Win 98 -- i kept joking that the thing was goign to crash during the show. i think that was Moreland Audio, and Atlanta band.... but yeah, it is possible to do this stuf with anything. but people use what they know. and as far as Aphex Twin -- i thought he did a whole tour with an IBM ThinkPad, back when laptops were really taking off....

Hi Hi

Hi Hi my lil' droogies. I look FWD to many enlightening discussions on this list and I want to thank you for having me (even though you had little choice). Oh this group reminds of the days... harkening back to when the hallucinigens flowed freely through naked statues in the form of milk and tripophan.
