  • Questions: What do you think it was that Vondas showed Marlo on the I-phone lookin' deal? (was that an I-phone?) What was up with the last scene w/ Freamon and the weird noise on the Wire? They both said that they should never talk on the phone b…
  • One of my favorite bands of all time. Noone else sounded like them. Nerdery and post-Speaking in Tongues aside, they still sound good. Here's a little something I wrote about them on my blog. -- I remember feeling a little disturbed the first time…
  • To really reduce the dust, just get the best air filters you can for your furnace or central AC. Replace them every other month or so. That should take care of 99% of the dust that might be coming in. The other option is to remove the faceplates fro…
  • I'm a pop enigma. as a tastemaker, I find the best of everything. What a tool.
  • There was this Hedfunk album that was just bonkers.. I think they were a Coldcut alias. But then my CD cracked, and sadly the album's out of print now.
  • What I've got... Dell Dimension 9100 desktop Pentium?? 4 Processor 630 with HT Technology (3GHz, 800FSB) 1 Gb Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM, 533 MHz 320 Gb hard disk - RAID 0 (2x 160Gb SATA drives) With a 20" flat LCD screen. Use this for both music and…
  • Seems to me Behringer is simply following the capitalist imperative. Ultimately after all the talk of cost cutting and whether the company has a "soul", if customers aren't buying products because they're built crappily, Behringer will be out of bus…
  • I think there was a thread on here at one point about some of the more bizarre creatures featured on Blue Planet. There's some weird lifeforms underwater. It's mind-boggling to me that only like 5% of the world's ocean floors have actually been expl…
  • Let's add a desi gal to the mix... presenting the lovely Bipasha Basu
  • Only for Canadians, circa 1975 or so... I think this is finally going to be available in the US...

  • I saw this too and thought 'WTF?' I hear they're coming out with a couple more models for different market segments: i.Beat brownz, i.Beat whitezz, and the soon to be classic i.Beat.off .
  • Saving Silverman is a dumb movie but never fails to crack me up with its outrageous stupidity.
  • Food can get expensive if you don't budget for it. Groceries are usually $50/week. Eating out usually 2-3 times a week, but mostly inexpensive stuff, works out to $40/week for me and my wife. Overall, $350-$400 a month on food isn't too bad. What…
  • One of the news stories mentioned he recently broke up with Kate Hudson, I guess that had something to do with it? If it really is a suicide attempt, it goes completely against his whole laidback former stoner image. He was funny as hell in Meet the…
  • If you're married your priorities have got to change, but not to the point where you're compromising yourself and giving up stuff that makes you YOU. This is especially important if your wife/partner expects you to do so or makes ultimatums. Givi…
  • and just started integrating fruity loops into ableton via rewire. Why would you do this? Ableton can do everything Fruity can and then some. I use Fruity and its piano roll is a breeze to use. Use the "FPC" plug-in in the piano roll and it's ea…
  • Pardon my ignorance, but what was your goal in doing this? It looks like you're using the "shell" of the original piano to hold the Casio keyboard, sound module and the speakers? Couldn't you have just put all that stuff on a desk, table or somethin…
  • Re: Tigerstyle, it's actually two brothers from Glasgow, more here http://www.tigerstyleonline.co.uk/ There are audio clips in the "A/V' section of their site. Don't call it "world" music though, that's kind of played out now.
  • "1,2 Pass" with D&D All Stars that starts off with the cartoonish Mad Lion verses... where is he now??
  • He meant something to me when I was 7 years old and, I got this album and it was my first vinyl ever, or maybe it was that "Snoopy's White Christmas", that album was so fresh!!
  • Really depends on what era you're interested in, and also what your goal is. Are you looking for old stuff? You're already on the right track with the composers you mentioned. Do you want to listen at home or is this for DJing? I wouldn't DJ with ol…
  • "Vinyl finally making a comeback, discuss"
  • If you hold stock, now is not a good time to sell. Markets are cyclical, and overall the U.S. economy looks decent. Inflation is low, and other sectors such as manufacturing and exports are strong. When you buy stock, it is important to think long t…
  • Hell yes
  • I've also seen Mexican and other latino folks toiling away in the kitchens in Indian restaurants everywhere... Washington DC, Devon Street in Chicago, Edison NJ... lot of similarities in cooking techniques I suppose so it's easy to learn how to whip…
  • Fit = attractive, good looking e.g. "Fit But You Know It" by The Streets See I reckon you're about an 8 or a 9, Maybe even 9 and a half in four beers time. That blue top shop top you've got on IS nice, Bit too much fake tan though - but yeah you s…
  • Who the hell are these women? What show is this??
  • The Wendy's down the street from me just burned down in a blaze of fire. I wish I had some pics. Pretty sure it was a bacon grease fire.

  • I have a regular 401k but I've been looking at the Roth IRA or Roth 401k option. Regardless of which Roth option you go for, I am guessing that the Roth is an option to consider only if you're already maxing your 401k contribution -- at least puttin…
  • First thing is to reduce your debt, especially credit cards. Student loans -- consolidate whatever you can. Living without credit card debt has been a huge boon to my (and my wife's) budget. Next take a hard look at your monthly expenses. Cut back …
