I haven't been into Floyd lately, but I watched Echoes on youtube a while ago and it still blows my mind.

Generation Kill is pretty good, but David Simon hates America too much.

I think he actually carted Stephen Hawking in for that one. I don't know why, it's not a good song. Only about half of Division Bell is listenable, and High Hopes is the only good song.

I'm not even a fan of High Hopes.  It's better than the majority of the album, yeah, but still not great IMO.

I have re-realized my appreciation for Gong.

Floyd is weird. I was so into them for about two weeks. I would listen to nothing else. Haven't really listened to them since. I mean I'll listen to an album or two every now and then and I see why I really liked them, but it's just not there anymore.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me, only it was more like two years.

Huh.
And the new XKCD is SO DUMB.
And Randall thinks I am really dumb because he explains the joke in the alt-text!

LOL I get it! I had to read the alt-text and google the names but I think I got it! From that movie right?

Stern Smile

Yeah the alt-text ruins it.


Also, someone in the forums is right, Eru didn't create the dwarves.

There was nothing to ruin, it was a STUPID IDEA that was POORLY EXECUTED. After this and the f**king Seismograph it's obvious XKCD is due for another long slide of Randall not even caring.

Although I admit at first I didn't really get it because I wasn't paying attention to what the song was about so I was thinking of Sauron putting the ring on himself. But that doesn't excuse the alt-text!

As far as XKCD book themed comics go, this one was a little better, at least he doesn't explain the joke in the alt-text.

That was a terrible pun, but at least it was actually a joke. This is just OH MAN THEY BOTH ARE ABOUT A RING!

Well, they were both about using a ring to control something, I guess.

The enemies gate is down pun is better though, he at least assumes you have read the book in that one and plays with the meaning of down.

I think I have expended my "Talking about XKCD" limit for the week.

I think I can now safely say that, at least for me, The Enid's albums are best used as background music for stuff.  In general, they're not pleasant or unpleasant...just there.

I still haven't tried them, you are making me not want to. Smile

I moved on to Albert Ayler. I can easily say it is pleasant.

ARGH. My 'k' on the keyboard won't fit properly and now I am spending an unusually OCD-like amount of time to fail to fix it.

If you need more homework music, give them a try.  I'm also noticing that their instrumental albums are better than the ones with vocals for me.  The vocals don't add anything IMO, but they do manage to take something away.  At least the instrumental albums are fairly decent mostly symphonic albums with a little bit of rock thrown in.  The lyrics seem repetitive and boring to me.

Laptop.

I feel your pain. I literally spent hours trying to fix mine once. I looked up a guide on how to fix those specific keyboards. The most I could do was keep it on for a little while. I usually ended up trying to smash it into the keyboard. LOL
