I was trying to imagine female versions of Robyn...not sure how well it works, except that I too imagined they'd be tall and have nice cheekbones and prominent eyebrows. Beyond that, my frail imagination can't quite put Robyn in a dress and makeup enough to visualize it. 'Course, it's also entirely possible they look nearly nothing like him and are short, plump, and round-faced.

If you watch them according to original broadcast date, rather than episode number, they should align correctly. But if you Netflix the discs (or BitTorrent the series), you won't have the helpful DVD inserts that tell you what the original broadcast dates were. If that's the case, and you seek guidance online, *avoid* the Wikipedia episode guides -- even on the index pages, there are spoilers aplenty. > > But I still think Firefly is more mature work... > > Wait for Season 5 of Angel.

Personally I prefer Angel S3 to S5, but they both have some amazingly great stuff interspersed with a few clunkers. I'd agree that the finale is a major high point, and so is another S5 episode that I'll leave nameless in the interests of spoilerlessness. And I'd agree with Carrie that Firefly is a more mature work than either BTVS or Angel, but alas, it never got the chance to develop its potential. Because there were so few Firefly episodes, that series has a higher *average* quality than BTVS and Angel, but the vampire shows both have much higher *total* amounts of goodness.

Do you mean Buffy S7? In general, I'd say the connections between the two series *add* to each one but aren't *vital* to eaither (except insofar as Buffy S1-3 created the foundation for Angel). BTW, the network you forgot was UPN. They merged with the WB last year to form the CW, which always makes me think either "Country-Western" or "conventional wisdom."

Probably not. THey probably also don't weigh 80 tons (like the B3). That said, I'm sure those who use such instruments regularly can tell you exactly what you're hearing. Here's an interesting page along such lines: < http://www.synthmania.com/Famous%20Sounds.htm> Anyway: I think the idea is convenience over, well, character: the B3 did what it did extremely well (and, incidentally, I've never heard a compelling imitation - some instruments can be synthesized quite convincingly, but that B3 sound is hard to capture for whatever reason), but it was just one (bulky, balky) instrument. Ditto the Mellotron, say... I love a lot of those classic keyboard sounds...and if I were a practicing musician, with lots of storage space and I could afford it, I'd enjoy being Jon Brion and collecting all of them. But I'm not...so, you know, you make do w/whatever sounds you can afford. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 19:22:34 +0100 From: Sebastian Hagedorn Subject: Re: 2 halves for the price of Eb's wing-wong - -- Stacked Crooked is rumored to have mumbled on 25.

Eh, no :-) I must admit I did not count.

Few albums later, Green flips out (after LSD spiking), wants to give away band's money; remainder of band objects. Green out. Not long after, Christine unretires, in fulltime as member. 6 months later, Spencer goes out to "get a magazine;" instead finds God and doesn't come back. Spencer out. Green back for concert tour. Green out again. Bob Welch hired (as legend has it, on recommendation and meetings alone, but no actual playing, recordings, or auditions (guess the hash he brought to the meeting was that good?)). Kirwan has booze problem; becomes alienated from the rest of band (which was and would be almost a FM tradition); Kirwan out. Guitarist Bob Weston and singer Dave Walker in; horrible "Penguin" album released; Walker fired. Weston has affair with Mick's wife (also, a growing band tradition) (BTW -- Mick's then wife = Patti Boyd Harrison Clapton's sister (this, I did not know until now)); Weston fired. General malaise sets in, followed by a band manager trotting out a completely "fake" version of the band (with none of the current or past members) for an aborted tour. One last album with Welch (the disturbing-cover-bearing "Heroes Are Hard to Find"); 2 briefly added tour guitarists (Bobby Hunt and Doug Graves); Welch quits. It is 1975. Mick is looking for a new studio (oh, as well as a guitarist or maybe 2), when he is played a Buckingham Nicks track by an engineer showing off his studio; he likes the track and its guitarist...who happens to be in the studio complex, wondering who is playing his track over the loudspeaker...so LB meets Mick. Mick offers him a job, LB holds out for work for his girlfriend, too...and, thus. Lindsey and Stevie join Fleetwood Mac. Everyone gets rich, drunk, high, jaded, cheated on, broken up (relationship-wise, not band-wise), and rich again. "Fleetwood Mac," "Rumours," "Tusk," and "Mirage" came out. Pause a few years. Solo rekkids, aplenty. Mick's finances go to hell. "Tango in the Night" comes out (1987, but LB does not want to tour). LB leaves/is tossed (stories vary). Billy Burnette (singing/songwriting) and Rick Vito (lead guitar) added. Tour (and greatest hits LP) followed. "Behind the Mask" released; a semi-flop. After another tour, Christine and Stevie announce retirement from touring (but say they will still record with band); in 1991, both Nicks and Vito announce they have quit. After Pres. Billy Jeff uses "Don't Stop" as campaign theme-song, the '75-'87 lineup -- Fleetwood, McVie, McVie, Nicks, and Buckingham -- reunite as a one-off for his first Inaugural Ball in '93. "The Chain: 25 Year Anniversary" box is put out in '92. Coasting on some interest after this and the "Don't Stop" ubiquititousness, Mick, the (long split-up, marriage-wise) McVies, and Burnette make an album, aided (in spots) by Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett (LB even sings back-up on a Bramlett song). This is "Time," an idea whose time had NOT come. It makes "Behind the Mask"'s sales figure look like "Rumours." Burnette quits, then comes back for a tour. Christine does not tour. The Mick, John, Billy, Dave Mason, Bekka Bramlet lineup tours '94-'95, mostly playing '67-'74 era and "Time" songs; Jeremy Spencer (apparently finally having found that magazine he was looking for) even shows up for a concert date in Japan. Christine announces she won't be back. Post-tour, Bekka and Billy form a country music duo. Mick's and John's accountants weep (once again). After saying the band had been dissolved, Mick was recording/playing with LB...and then so was John...and LB was producing Stevie...and Christine unretires again. "The Dance" happens and everyone's managers. accountants, hangers-on, and alimonied exes are happy again. Big sales and tour numbers. In '98, Green, Spencer, Kirwan, and the entire '75-'87 / '97 line-up is inducted into Jann Wenner's Mistake By the Lake, er, I mean The Rock abd Roll Hall of Fame as Fleetwood Mac (sorry, Welch, Vito, Burnette, and...Dave Mason). Christine retires from touring again; then opts out of next FM album for so-ignored-I-never-even-knew-it-existed-until-right-now '04 solo album. Mick, John, Stevie, and Lindsey release FM's "Say You Will" in '03, tour through '04. LB puts out his best solo record, "Under the Skin" in '06. Reports say another reunion tour or record may yet be ahead. Nicks says only if C. McVie returns (her enturage, however, may only hold to the lower standard of "only if checks clear"). All may -- as semi-usual -- depend on Mick's/John's finances; as the non-songwriters in the band, they always seem in need of some quick touring money...

I'm replying before looking at other answers so I may duplicate someone else. But after years with different synths I've reached the point where I'm no longer interested in a keyboard for the sounds on board, but only as a controller for computer based soft-syths and samples. The standard interface, as I'm sure you've already been told, is MIDI. MIDI controllers come in all shapes and sizes, but most look like a synth -- they just don't have any sounds on board. Here's a bunch of MIDI controllers: http://www.sweetwater.com/shop/keyboards/keyboard-controllers/ MIDI interfaces for the computer are pretty cheap -- most new ones are USB or firewire but you can still get PCI. For that matter, the game port on most consumer grade sound cards can be adapted as an MPU-401 MIDI interface. As for software, I work in Windows XP so I don't know if I can help you there. Windows XP is an *excellent*, extremely rich environment for music production (By the way, I would find it unbearably boring to try to justify that statement to Mac partisans, so please don't bother, dear Mac partisans). Anyway, if you wanted something that you could just plug into an amp and have sounds come out of it, you can ignore all of the above, because a controller won't do that. But any modern electric keyboard will double as a MIDI controller, so you can have both.
