Desperately clinging to utopian illusions.
I don’t have CATV so it took me a while to find this TV show. Thanks to Netflix, I was able to catch the first three shows on DVD of Mad Men. Wow, great music, great casting, great sets, it’s all great!
I’m still not going to pay for TV, yet, but there’s a DVD purchase in my future!
This version of Wagner’s Ring cycle certainly departs from the traditional settings in years past. It’s also been compared to a film rather than an operatic staging.
The last candy-bar phone I bought there was no method to sync data between it and my desktop computer. Any changes I made to my address book was forever stored on the phone. Why should I make changes only to lose them when the phone became unusable?
My current phone is the BlackBerry Pearl. I like it lots but trying to sync it to my Mac Address Book, and iCal has introduced me to Apple’s Sync Services. I thought at OS X 10.5 they should know how to sync properly. Sometimes it works fine. Some days I’m offered the chance to delete all my data. Other days the sync process just pukes and does nothing. There’s apparently no rhyme or reason to these varied behaviors.
I figured with the Jesus Phone they would have resolved the sync issues. But I guess the inability to Copy and Paste is there by design and its presence would bring up sync issues. Wha? You mean I pays $300 for this phone and it craps my syncs?!
Good information here regarding the complexities of syncing data across multiple platforms.
I guess I’ll give up expecting this process to work as advertised…
Someone on DIME requested I open a window to share this Met Opera recording.
I figured out what my issue was regarding the .torrent file.
Philip Glass has been a favorite of mine since the days of WNYC back in NYC. It almost seems a dream now. This public radio station played contemporary orchestral music (DelTredici, Glass, Diamond, &c) and had interviews with the then current composers. Now much of public radio is a vaunted attempt at influencing politics. Sad.
I never found out, nor could figure out why they split up in the first place. The trio regroups in Chapel Hill reports a Paste Magazine blogger.
Gonna be a big year for Ben! New album due real soon now, too!
That’s OK with me. There was only one word I could ever understand in that song. The Wilson’s 15 minutes has passed on a long time ago.
If anyone could do The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, it would be the Toddster. The folks over at What Goes On report that the concert is set for 17-Aug.
Interesting to note that TR used to turn a blind eye toward ROIOs. He has recently changed his policy regarding these recordings. Looks like he’s got some good stuff coming out in the months ahead. Can’t wait to hear the new stuff. I’ve been a fan for…well…a long time…
My SO got me a Route 66 DVD thinking it was a travelogue. Heh!
They didn’t realize, and I had forgotten all about the TV show from the early 60’s. So, I sat down to watch and, wow! What a delight. There’s that great Nelson Riddle theme and other show music in that cool early 60’s style. The shows were filmed in black and white, and on location, far away from the actual path of Route 66. It was a time where the homogenization of America had not developed so you hear dialects of people from Southern Louisiana, among others, that you don’t hear too much these days.
Hard to believe that this was prime-time television for its day. Music, television, screenwriting…the likes of which we’ll probably never experience again from a mass media outlet.
This NY Times article describes this growing subculture as having a fluid morality and a disdain for pretty much everyone else online. A fascinating glimpse into the darker side of the Internet.
I don’t recall this festival when I lived in NJ but it sure makes me wish I lived there right now. Wow, I don’t know all the names but that’s where you get to learn the new artists and groups.
Friday night, alone, is drool-worthy…Beth Orton, Alejandro Escovedo, Chuck Prophet, Dar Williams…wow…I hope there’s some good recordings out there next week!
Kudos to WXPN 88.5 in Phil-a-del-phia!
Wow, I just found something else awesome on their website…for another post…
