Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Good morning. Is anyone awake yet...?
I'm about to start drowning out the sound of a generator that's blaring away outside my office with some Optional Aural Entertainment. I'm still in a Beefheart mood, but feeling kind to my fellow humans, so Safe As Milk it is.  |

I've gone for the slightly more 'direct' approach this morning...

Haha, the beetroot'n'mouldy cheese has got up and walked from the Shed to the Shred Room!
 I'm having some Clive's Pear Juice and a piece of walnut cake.  Not sure what sort of soundtrack to go for...Edited by song_of_copper - October 08 2008 at 09:20 |

^^yes, I asked Scott whether, if I joined his friendly crew, I could bring victuals in from the Shed, being as I wasn't into his Coors/ Bud/ Millers lager selection...
he happily agreed...
anyway, my Therion has just finished, so help yourself to the CD player (no turntable and pile of old LPs like in the Shed...
 ) |

Ok, I've slung on 'Tilt' by Arti e Mestieri. Woah, that Furio Chirico drums like a man possessed!

Good morning folks. Glad to see the place is getting some use in my absence. Although I must admit I thought I might have come to the wrong place with the Italian music coming from the speakers
and whatever is left on that plate over there by Jared. He definitely didn't get that from the Shred Room delicatessen; unless of course it was Psychodelicatessen Day. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32849&FID=42

Hmm - always a dilemma on what to spin first thing in the morning - think I'll play the Quiet Sun album.
Melissa - grabbed the Residents "Not Available" last night, might give that a whirl today. |

Really would like to return to the UK someday - have a fond memory of drinking Guinness in a pub in Piccadilly Circus at the tender age of 16
 also think I would appreciate the sightseeing a lot more now.

I've never been much for travelling overseas. There is probably a properly named phobia, but I have a fear of going places where I can't speak or understand the language being spoken. Going to Toronto is about as foreign of a country as I have gone too. I've always joked though that I wouldn't mind going to England, since they speak English there too. But alas, I still don't have a bloody clue what they are saying half the time
, so the phobia would still kick in. To my English chums, please take no offense to that, as none was meant.

and er, the South West, you wouldn't have a clue what any of them are saying, anyway...

Advice: if you ever really would like to travel abroad, particularly in Western Europe (or even in places more east like Prague or Istanbul) most everyone speaks English, and if you go with a reputable tour group like Globus you have a guide fluent in the local language who will always be willing and able to help out. That said, I try to learn as much of a language as I can before visiting (just some of the basics - no one expects you to conjugate verbs perfectly or anything) and attempt to use it when in the country. The citizens smile - they can spot an American a mile away - but generally will be grateful and respect your attempt to speak their language. They then will conduct the rest of the conversation in English*. * This applies really in the major cities, as you get out to small villages or the like you really do need the guide, as it becomes more unlikely that people you meet speak or understand English. |

Of course these same rules apply in traveling throughout the U.S. too. Down south, on the east coast, and on the west coast they all have English languages of their own. (Meaning of course that only my midwesterner version of English is proper).
For that matter, even here in Michigan, the folks from the Upper Peninsula have a different diction than the lower peninsula, and Detroit's northern suburbs have different diction than both the city of Detroit and the southern suburbs. (cues in Journey's "born and raised in South Detroit").
Heck for that matter, in my suburb, being English speaking seems to put me in the minority these days. The suburbs of Detroit are definitely the melting pot that is spoken of in U.S. history. There are very many Asians, Europeans, and Middle Easterners that have moved into this area that speak English as a third or fourth language.
Also, I used to have a translation book that translated southern English into "normal" English. It was kind of funny.
