Love it. I need to look into this album more. Would this happen to be a Mitchell Froom production?

Detecting a bit of Lennon influence in the vocals, but he sings a lot better than lennon did.

After some internet sleuthing, I can answer my own question: apparently not. It was engineered and produced by Tchad Blake. The Finn brothers' most recent previous work, Crowded House's Woodface, had been engineered by Blake and produced by Mitchell Froom.

Ha. I worked the ticket counter at the Power Station show in Austin, 1985, but only because I wanted free tickets to see their opening act, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Sadly, I was stuck in the box office and only got to see a couple of OMD's songs. However it was quite a sight to see the little girls lined up to get in to see the Duran Duran boys very early in the day. The line must have stretched for a hundred or more yards. It was pretty crazy.

I miss Split Enz too, and I miss being the age I was when that song was released. I wish I could go back and do a few things over again in the 80's.
I always thought of the new wave sound of Split Enz as the first musical style embraced by the Finn brothers, but apparently the band originally came together (without Neil Finn) in 1972, as "Split Ends," and their sound in the '70's was more described as "progressive rock" verging into punk.

My most poignant memory of Duran Duran came in the early 80s when my parents actually paid a young man to move far away from me. I flew back to Memphis in a major snit and lived with my cousin for a little while. She was ga-ga for Duran Duran. I mean, GA-GA.

I saw all of those Duran Duran girls. I worked in record stores throughout the 80s in Dallas and Austin and they were absolutely crazy for that band. We had all of the Michael Jackson girls coming in and then Duran Duran and later the Madonna fans. But the Duran Duran girls were really into the band.
However I also worked a record store near an Air Force base in north Texas and the airmen LOVED them some Iron Maiden and Dio.

You're really pulling out the 80s tonight. I knew a girl in Austin that followed Men Without Hats all across America and Canada! She thought they were one for the ages.
Of course she also got to see U2 in a tiny bar with about 100 people in Austin, pre-War, so I'm pretty envious.

An aside: my wife and her friends went back to the hotel with The Church after a show in Boston (waaaaay before I ever met her) and their tour drummer tried to hit on my future wife! Unsuccessfully, or so I'm told...

The Pixies
[Video]
Okay, you officially have great taste in music!
I saw Frank Black on a solo tour in the early 90s. It was during a downtime in the Pixies and I believe the reason he gave for the tour was that he just bought a bunch of new furniture and had to pay for it somehow. Incidentally, his opening act was a local Dallas boy (since gone on to bigger fame) Rhett Miller playing an acoustic 12-string through an overdriven Marshall amp with a rack of effects.

Incidentally, his opening act was a local Dallas boy (since gone on to bigger fame) Rhett Miller playing an acoustic 12-string through an overdriven Marshall amp with a rack of effects.
I've seen the Pixies and Frank a few times...always good to see them.

The Conspiracy Theorist Label
The conspiracy theorist label is the cleverest tool the conspirators have come up with to deter the people from investigating and questioning their (the people's) own government.
Genius!

Can't say that I have heard of them. But, since you recommend them, I will look for some of their stuff....thanks!
Just keep in mind that they do not sound like Sonic Youth. They were one of the bands labeled "shoegazers" in the early 90s. But there were pretty popular and The New Year continues to record. The last three albums have been produced by Steve Albini.
Once at Austin's SXSW Husker Du's Bob Mould introduced Bedhead by proclaiming them the greatest band in the world!

The majority DFL in Minnesota has failed to override Pawlenty's vetoes and he promises no special session, as was previously the custom. He'll use his executive powers to back spending back into line. The Bonkeys are whining like stuck pigs, the regular session ends tomorrow and they've wasted months of time, but there will be no tax increases, for better or worse, unlike California, we will live within our current tax base.
/Pawlenty is probably a creationist but I've never heard it brought up or pushed in this State and almost all Minnesotans wouldn't have any idea about that, I'm proud of him for just saying enough is enough

They tried lifting in the air and were pulling at her clothes. Joan, who of course could see the whole thing from the stage, just stopped playing and screamed out something like, "Hey! Put her down. If I see any more of that shit, I'm walking off the stage!" And she waited until the girl collected herself. She even asked her if she was ok before the band started again. It was awesome!

Off to iron my table.
If liquid is left sitting on a wood table and a white water spot appears and will not come off, what do I do?
Answer: Take a white Cotton t-shirt, place it over the spot --
put your electric iron on medium low setting (do NOT use steam) and iron the spot.
Will remove the white spot.

I think that Stephen Wolfram's new project is pretty cool - a massive computational engine that give answers at your fingertips.
Based on the Times story, it is the result of Wolfram having toiled for years and in the process he "built up a number of databases and Wolfram Alpha is an attempt to bring them to a wider audience."
Well I can thank Dr. Wolfram for his diligent building of databases for teaching me a new word tonight - frotteur.

White People Learning to Stand Up and Fight Back Again!
I have asked Stormfront Radio for the opportunity to do a special radio broadcast on the Tea Party effort and the emerging independent implicitly White mass resistance movement.
Any serious White American patriot today needs to orient towards, and intervene into, this Ron Paul/Tax Revolt/Tea Party implicitly White mass resistance.
I would like to see if TPAC (Tea Parties Across America -ed) supporters may be interested in participating in a half hour radio special on the upcoming July 4th Tea Party effort, and on this emerging implicitly White mass resistance.
In the show, I'd like to draw first on the recent history and lessons of this emerging White mass resistance phenomena (starting with the Ron Paul grassroots campaign effort), discuss the kinds of folks at these implicitly White events, and then motivate SF listeners to get prepared to effectively take the field on July 4th at the 600+ Tea Party events happening across the nation.

The tricky problem is that it was a Paulian movement and most of the organizers, both local and national, are Paulians. They don't mind support from racists at Stormfront. Even Glenn Reynolds, the PJ Media representative, is linking to articles from Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell. Unfortunately the lunatics are running the asylum.

The really fun part is that these event aren't 'white' at all. Race has never come up at them, but I can easily see how it could be injected into them. Mr Reynolds should be advised about the company he is keeping. I'll look into his contact info (I won't post it, I respect the forum rules).

It's a very tricky problem. I'm not a fan of the Tea Party agenda mostly because it's mainstreaming Paulian economics. Paulians and White Nationalists would have absolutely no interest in a real world fiscally responsible movement. The reason the are interested is because it's quack economics from a mostly white crowd. Michelle Malkin linked to a tea party protest today with a fucking 9-11 Truther and absolutely nobody noticed or took offense. I don't think the Tea Party thing is salvageable.

The friend who sent the video mentioned that he saved far more lives than Oskar Schindler, who was not the nicest of people, to be kind....and Mr. Sugihara had no ulterior motives, only an innate decency, and caring for people.

I would like to think that even the family could appreciate a joke like that, if that sheds some light on whether or not I intended to be cruel to anyone.
We had a big loss out here, and humor, even dark, went a lot further than flowers and well-wishes in helping folks to cope and get through. Call it a reflex.
Mileage may vary on humor, but I am absolutely not laughing at the man or his family. I don't expect you to agree or change your mind, but you asked how I could post what I did--the answer is that it was not with any cruelty in mind.

I guess I've been looking at the Tea Party agenda mostly as folks fed up with too much spending. That's how my family members that attended one looked at it. I've been saying since Ross Perot and his graphs that the budget needed to get back on track. Now with the new administration that is determined to spend, spend, and spend some more- a lot of people are worried (me included). I never really looked much below the surface, but aparently there is something there or at least a good opportunity for folks to get in and exploit it.
As far as Malkin, I was reading her blog frequently, now not so much. Not as level headed as the folks here. And I couldn't post there:)
I would be all about helping the Tea Party right itself, but I can't right now. Hopefully, some folks will throw the kooks out!

GWB made great progress with Colombia, something never mentioned, ready to throw that away. Ukraine is struggling mightily to make a go of it, we could use a friend in that neighborhood.

I agree, I'm expecting Israel to take some serious action in the near future, with or without the support of the U.S.
Israel has been put between a rock and a hard place, and it seems that tiny Israel will go it alone again, but they will do it right. Israel really has no other choice.

I just love the logic.....
Who will ride Sound Transit light-rail trains?
Voters first said yes to light rail 13 years ago, and now, $2.6 billion later
Won't talk about how it's 7 years late and a billion over budget.
Rail would reduce freeway congestion in the South End about 1 percent.
Now that's a deal!

You're too young to remember it? I started voting for JFK, as the voting age was 21 in the Dark Ages! ;)
3 months after Jimmy the Jew hater was in office? NY Grampa and I became indys, but in NY State you cannot vote in the presidential primary if you are not in a party, so we did the smartest thing....we registered as Republicans, in order to vote for President Bush, and have never looked back.
G'nite, all. Sweet dreams!

Vacation in Lost Wages?
I haven't been there in a long time, lot of the super resorts have opened since I was last down in the desert.
I am in Reno now and spent the weekend in a small town south of here celebrating Armed Forces Day. It was a lot of fun. The only gambling was during my layover at the Lost Wages Airport.

Anyone been following events in Sri Lanka?
Looks like the civil war is wrapping up.
Four senior Tamil Tigers 'dead'
Sri Lanka's government said troops are engaged in "final brushing up" hours after a website linked to the rebels said the Tigers were laying down arms.

Look what Israel did to Iraq's nuclear facilities. It is just disgusting that our country is led by a coward. I am honestly not Bibi's biggest fan, but trust him to do what has to be done, irregardless of what the other countries who will gang up on Israel say.
Got to go to sleep! Nearly 2 AM here.

Work with a guy his vacation was to go down and gamble. Took a fixed amount, when it was gone the gambling was over. I've known guys spend more on fishing than he spent on his past time.

Heh....you could see this coming when Sound Transit was sub-leasing it's locomotives and commuter coaches to other commuter railways because there just wasn't enough ridership.

I refuse to panic over it but I bought some Purell at the airport. Got plenty of vitamin D hanging out here in the desert sun, too. My bil, the retired, doc (whose computer I'm on right now) was also concerned about it mutating. That's just what happens often.

That's the way to do it if it's your thing. I kind of burned out on gambling when I was young and working in a casino myself. I'll still put two or three rolls of quarters into a poker machine on occasion but that's about the extent of it.

Night all, checking...
"They [our Arab Neighbors] in turn have much to give us, they are blessed with what we lack. Great territories, ample for themselves and their children's children, even if they are far more prolific than they are today. We do not covet their expanses nor will we penetrate them - for we shall fight to end Diaspora in Arab lands as fiercely as we fought to end it in Europe, we want to be assembled wholly in our own Land. But if this region is to expand to the full, there must be reciprocity, there can be mutual aid - economic, political and cultural - between Jew and Arab. That is the necessity which will prevail, and the daily fulminations of their leaders should not alarm us unduly - they do not echo the real interests of the Arab peoples.

re: #371 Pvt Bin Jammin
I am not panicking either, but all the kids have Purell, and they let the 2 granddaughters take a small bottle to school, but the little guy? My daughter does his hands herself. He has been very good about it, fortunately.
Masks? Not going to do a thing. And there are countries that are working on a vaccine.
I am shutting down! I already smacked my hands to keep from answering..didn't work! Closing down should do it!
Have fun!
