I don't claim to be an expert and I bet I don't know most of it, but as I guessed the compilation includes Goran Bregovic, the (former) composer for Emir Kusturica. My favorite soundtrack of his is probably the one for "Arizona Dream".

Twilight Notes: ~ Make sure to also download openers The Bad Things' set, as this is one of the best bands in Seattle. Tracks 1, 6, and 7 are as titled on the written setlist; but not among songs listed at the band's website, so presumably are incomplete titles. ~ Have included photos. Unfortunately, owing to the venue's poor lighting, and to the bandmembers' hyperactivity, only a handful of good shots in here. ~ Go see this band! The tape sounds quite good, but (and perhaps it's just that my ears have yet to recover) it just doesn't do justice to (what for my money is) the greatest spectacle in rock and/or roll, and certainly one of the greatest live acts of the rock era. And for only a sawbuck! How can you go wrong? ~ Used the LS-10's limiter -- not sure whether it ever kicked in. Looking at the waveform, I see about four or five spots where it may have done, but only very briefly. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 15:26:51 -0800 (PST) From: Benjamin Lukoff Subject: Re: for the fun of it On Sat, 8 Mar 2008, 2fs wrote: > On 3/8/08, Benjamin Lukoff wrote: > > > > On Fri, 7 Mar 2008, 2fs wrote: > > > > > On 3/7/08, Benjamin Lukoff wrote: > > > > > > > > On Fri, 7 Mar 2008, 2fs wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Also: when did "dude" go from ironic to seriousible again? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Never was ironic for me! > > > > > > But is it non-ironic in that it just seems like a normal term of > > address, or > > > non-ironic in that it seems so lame that you'd never use it even > > ironically? > > > > #1!

(1) richard burton has reconfirmed his brilliance (which just seems redundant, but it happens (?again?) pretty much every time i see him in something.) (2) that "equus" is one serious crazy-ass movie. as ever, lauren p.s. i tend to like movies that are adaptations of plays, and "equus", like other movie adaptations, gets a certain slack when it comes to the way in which it's kind of ridiculous (i figure it's because people in plays have to sort of exaggerate their body language and emotions and speech.) but then "equus" gets some extra slack from these just transcendent scenes with richard burton that i was truly (but not literally) "glued to the set." p.p.s. next up: "terminator 2: EXTREME EDITION" (i don't know for sure that second part is in CAPS, but it may as well be.) (N.B. i innately distrust anything referred to as EXTREME, but with T2, i'm safe - i adored T2 even before it became EXTREME.) and that helvetica documentary as well (finally), although, i confess, my alliances lie with goudy old style. - -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "People with opinions just go around bothering one another." - The Buddha ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 10:02:52 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: My name is "Eb", and being that I play a butt-doctor on the prime-time teevee, I feel that one will (nor should they!) question my competence to offer that as bunge-holes go, one could do a lot worse than Zbigniew Brzezinski's On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 6:23 PM, Stacked Crooked wrote: > > so something that of which I wasn't that aesthetically fond, so it still > feels weird to me.> > > not to get into a whole wide fuckin' spanish inquisition or anything, but, > dude, you're saying that (considering that the ")" will be used in either > case) typing "(smiley emoticon here if I used them" is faster than typing > ":"!? who uses even "(" more frequently that they use ":", for god's > awful > fucking sake (let alone the time spent typing all the other fucking crap)? > you some kinda freak, brotha! Prolly. Well, sorry for wasting everyone's time with that shit. It seemed truthful when I said it, and years later the keystrokes involved in pre-internet-style writing still seem more natural to me, but I'm probably deluding myself. > oh, on the making-of for the "Blue Harvest" episode of *Family Guy*, the > exec. producer claims that *Star Wars* is the "most prominent piece of pop > culture in the last thirty years." i scoffed at the time, but damned if i > can think of a more prominent "piece" since the beatles. STAR WARS unquestionably WAS our Beatles. And kind of continue to be, despite the shittiness of the prequels... people can introduce their kids to either as a sort of rite of passage in ways that don't hold for other artifacts of their respective eras. - -Rex ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #530 ********************************
