Yes indeed, this is one of the things that makes one hopeful about TV as a medium-- watching a whole season of something on DVD over the course of a few days or weeks is a pretty damned novelistic experience, developing layers that most films can't. It is a groovy, inspirational thing. The drag is that it takes so long to make the damned things that glitches in real life, like aging actors, contract disputes, waxing and waning ratings, and ill-advised real-life romances mean that even if something is planned out really damned meticulously, often as not, something will happen over the years that'll crap up the continuity in a way that an author with only pen and ink to worry about doesn't face upon starting that next chapter. (And that's why series that fizzle are that much more frustrating-- when you pick up a novel, you can be pretty sure that it has an ending dictated by something other than the salary demands of the guy playing the lead character.)

"star trek" is very integrated into my psyche. i started watching at a young age (6 or 7 years old) and i'm sure it has shaped some of my personality. i had a large black-and-white poster of mr. spock on the wall behind my headboard. that is sort of odd for a 7-year old. i had a cassette recording and i called it "nomad" although come to think of it, does one really want that bad boy nomad hanging around the house? someone gave me a diary and instead of writing the normals sorts of things, i wrote about that day's episode of "star trek". oh boy, i had big trouble spelling things like "conscience." the funniest part of said diary was on saturday i would write "today star trek is not on." and the exact same thing on sundays. some of the episodes had this sort of haunting feeling that has lasted with me until even now..."the tholian web" for instance. if i had first seen when i was older, perhaps it would have been silly, but i remember feeling so odd watching it. "the empath" and "the menagerie" as well and i'm sure there are others. it's like these episodes are the basis for some of what i find mysterious and haunting even in adult life. i always thought kirk to be a bit silly and spock to be his grounding force. i felt uncomfortable when spock dispayed a bunch of emotion like e.g. when he got infected with the happy spores. that was a bit too much for my child brain to be comfortable with or maybe it was just overwrought acting. once i heard on "science friday" ira plato i think is the host (or maybe it was a guest on the show) said that many times people would give "star trek" as a reason for their interest in science as much as e.g. parents or a teacher. it certainly encouraged my interest in science (which was certainly there before "star trek" but only grew from watching the show.) but eventually science seemed like math with accessories, so i followed the unburdened path of mathematics. but it's not like spock wouldn't have approved. xo - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2007 19:18:15 -0800 From: "Stacked Crooked" Subject: Re: Re: 8-track memories olivia tremor control used to have a boombox with a turntable on it (for what it's worth). ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2007 22:39:55 -0500 From: "Stewart C.

I remember reading somewhere, ca. 1982, about a portable battery-operated turntable with a shoulder strap, that would allow you to play LPs as you strolled around like a huge Walkman. Instead of a conventional needle and arm, it had some sort of mechanism for gripping a flexible needle to the vinyl.

The First Day - Sylvian & Fripp Damage - Sylvian & Fripp The Bridge Between - Fripp Love Cannot Bear - Fripp The first two, especially, if you like Japan/Sylvian any at all. Damage is pretty much the live tour featuring material from The First Day. The original mix by Fripp is o/p, and rather expensive if you can find it. The current release is a remix by Sylvian. The Bridge Between is Fripp, Trey Gunn playing Warr guitar, and The California Guitar Trio (guys from Fripp's guitar class) playing acoustics. Love Cannot Bear is a soundscapes (or Frippertronics) album. This is what you would hear if you went to see Fripp solo. Improvised pieces that are built up using whatever devices Fripp uses these days. Earlier it was two Revoxes and the "Frippelboard" plus guitar. - - Steve ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 22:07:22 -0800 (PST) From: Benjamin Lukoff Subject: Definitive 200 So...what do you all think about the list?

Um, do you have any Eminem or Green Day records? I would have put Encore ahead of The Eminem Show, but I would probably have two of his records in my top 100. I do take exception with The Marshall Mathers LP being ahead of every other hip-hop record (I'd put at least Straight Outta Compton and It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back ahead of it). And both Dookie and American Idiot are excellent records (granted, the only two completely good records in their catalog, but that's more than most artists get), though neither of them should go before The Ramones debut. > Okay, I just saw the position of "Never Mind The Bollocks" and can't go > on. I REFUTE THE LIST. Yeah. Like five fucking Beatles records and similar number Rolling Stones before Never Mind The Bullocks? That's fucked. Furthermore, I'm at 120 and haven't seen Smile yet. Also, Automatic For The People was the first (only?) R.E.M. record on there? I'd have gone with Life's Rich Pagaent or Reckoning or Fables. Aren't we talking about records that defined rock? I think the list is dumb. I guess I can just leave it at that. Too... many... soundtracks...
