Did they play any of the Dorset new songs ( Narcissus, Disconnected from the ruling class, White Light, UP Love)? I enjoyed all of those, they felt lyrically more like Soft Boys or at least earlier pre EofA songs than the old new songs which seemed more of a continuation of Robyn's recent solo stuff. So what was the feel of the new new ones? I have high hopes for this new album. On unrelated notes. Motorised Pogo Stick: In one of our scooby doo vids Shaggy and Scoobs attempt to flee a pirate's ghost on an mps. This turns out to be a jack hammer which also has the ability to climb walls and cross cave roofs while being ridden. Henry Rawlinson: I've been trying to find a reference but I'm sure that I've seen something in print that asserted that VS knew of Henry Rawlinson. The deathday reference certainly appeared in a newspaper obit. On the subject of the Intro and the Outro (first mention of the Rawlinsons), Neil Innes reprised the pom pom pom-pom pom riff used by the lower brass instruments as The Magic Tune in his role as a magician on a BBC children's program - Puddle Lane?

This is actually what I was curious about. I knew about ripping MP3s from pre-existing CDs and using CDDB and all that. I have Toast 5 Titanium, but it's on my machine with the CD burner that's currently having its hard drive replaced. I will look through its documentation and preferences when I get the computer back from the shop. It's good to know that I probably won't have to spend any more ducats to accomplish this.

The Ghost here is speaking of men with no interest beyond their own limited (and impersonal) affairs and that's not at all the case with me or implied at all by my statement. I plainly disagree with the notion that disinterest in the personal affairs of those one will never know personally is inhuman. The general Plight of Man is worthwhile and I work, I believe, more than most to improve the human condition. But these specifics, this Clapton-Harrison-Boyd relationship about which I know nothing, concerns me not at all. I don't think we can gain any useful insights examining the lives of those we do not know intimately. Human interaction is complex and you simply can't know enough about a stranger for their personal lives to be meaningful to you. The general causes of sorrow or grief or jealousy (as I assume this is some kind of love triangle) are totally independent of these three people none of us are ever going to know (guaranteed, now). There are hundreds of thousands of tales like theirs. But theirs holds no compelling interest for me because of the futility of any attempt to understand it or gain useful knowledge from it. If a stranger wants to talk about their personal lives on the train, I'll listen... because I might actually get to know that person and the mere act of talking to ME on the train removes them from the realm of "total stranger".

It would be a huge mistake to confuse your personal inability to comprehend or learn from this specific situation with a "futility" that was universally human. One does not have to be fully aware of every detail about a person's life, nor be privy to all aspects of the complexities of certain relationships, to be able to gain some significant insight into their situation or the human condition overall. Albeit, no one could really FULLY comprehend every nuance of a situation without completely submersing themselves into it, but elements of it can be useful and meaningful without the artificial requirement of utter intimacy. Many fans are incredibly intimate, perhaps some so to an unhealthy degree, with the DETAILS of the Beatles' lives - and it isn't as if the people involved haven't shared information about their lives and relationships with the greater community. Just because you fail to learn something from it, or are simply uninterested in these particular individuals, does not mean others will fail as well. That said, I don't think it is all inhuman to not be interested. We can't know everything about everybody. But, if the information does fall in one's lap, through whatever means - the press, personal experiences, direct dialogue - many people are equipped to learn *something* from even sketchy data.

There's nothing written on it, either - it's just the drawing of the wasp-madonna. That's one of the few buttons I've ever bothered to own, or at least keep.

I have a related, perhaps parallel, question: Is there a bit of downloadable software which lets you *edit* a MP3, i.e. trim seconds off the beginning and end, etc.? I've been playing with Gnutella more lately, and I have some good soundfiles which have extraneous spoken introductions and things like that. Or similarly, is there software which will let you edit a *MPEG*? I've looked on www.download.com, and all I find is software which will edit a MP3's *IDE tags*. I haven't figured out yet this whole issue of an IDE tag's "version," but that's another story.... For whatever reason, my MP3 searches have been by far the most successful as yet when it comes to exactly two groups: Pink Floyd/Syd Barrett and Nirvana.
