I feel the same way about the 70s. They don't know there were hotcombs. And no good coffee. Our kitchen was Bicentennial-themed.

You should read James Lileks's book, "Interior Desecrations." That cured me of any '70s nostalgia. I wasn't around for the '70s, but in the '80s you couldn't go anywhere without tripping over a Fairlight.

Some?

Speaking of pubs, we beat Teenage Fanclub in the pub quiz last night - yet another reason why they're rubbish; they have poor general knowledge.

Speaking of memes, I am coining a new twitter phrase right here. "Reet petweet - a twitter message that contains a song lyric".

Speaking of me, there's nothing more dull than talking about yourself, so I'll stop.

I'm sure you're going to want some random medical advice from a stranger on the internet so: magnesium. I get the double calf decrepit old lady walk unless I take magnesium. Also, a twitchy left eye.

good call on Being There.

Thought you might appreciate this collection that came across my radar today. Elliott Smith - Live Unreleased Songs | bsidesrus.blogspot.com/2009/01/elliott-smith-live-unreleased-songs.html

Id get that calf thing checked out. Could be a clot.

You remind me of Tom De Longe with your hair like that.

Now... where did I put that life I had...

Thank You. Twitter meme's feel like the bird crap on an already weathered car I'm just trying to keep running and look halfway decent. Oh, and Twitter's "social media guru's" are those homeless guys begging for change on the highway exit ramps who try and wash your windows but end up just smearing the dirt around.

Clean shaven, flat hair and a new clean shirt that isn't knit. I thought I had the wrong video. Thank God for the galette.

Not Carhartts?! Kind'of surprised. Diana Rigg (Hubba. Hubba.) How could the best bond girl not be a Dame?

Recording, or just the ability to play back, at 192kHz.? Even Rupert Neve doesn't suggest going higher! Before you even *think* of going higher than 44.1kHz., you'd better be doing 24 bit (over 16 bit)!

I guess I should probably stop wearing my astronaut suit.

And thank you for yesterdays "hear". I am now a new fan of The Avett Brothers. And then I found out from a friend today that they have played multiple times in my very town, and now I'm pissed.

RUSHMORE! Thank you for agreeing!

Brilliant as always. Although that weird artifacting in the video (both here and viewing inline in GReader) made me think that shaving off that scruff revealed an unsightly combination of age spots and pockmarks. But they seem to appear and disappear. Looks like a loose connection or something funky with your encoding.

Anyways, I've been sporting your flat hair look since high school. I gotta do something about that.

Thanks for the link to the Elliott video. I do miss him, often.

You said, "Some Days".

Would you call this

Merlin's galette face?

I'd second getting that leg checked out by your physician. Deep venous thrombosis can feel an awful lot like a cramp that doesn't go away. Travelling on planes puts you at higher risk. (As an aside, I'm an MD, not that it matters -- I've just taken care of a lot of people with DVTs.)

When some fat guy is walking around in a Steve Young (for instance) jersey, my response is "Man, Steve, You got fat." Then I run, because I can get away. You know, cuz he's a big fat guy.

Eric W: thx 4 the music encoding clarification re The 192k reference.

I am going to go out and buy a new jersey to signify my ill-will towards today's vlog, suck on that.

More dancing cutaways!

On behalf of OCD people everywhere I would like to thank Kevin!
