It’s been a while since I looked though you tube

Talking Heads -Life During Wartime video bootlegg 1980 Featuring Adrian Belew. Awesome.
Adrian Belew (and David Bowie) – Pretty Pink Rose video

King Crimson – Easy Money live 1973, super low quaility
King Crimson – Sleepless video
King Crimson – Elephant Talk Live on “Fridays” in 1981. Awesome. Two of my favorite guitar solos back to back.
King Crimson – thela Hun Jineet From the same show. Great version of Thela.

Merzbow – live in korea
Merzbow – Minus Zero A Merzbow video? Sure, why not.

Killing Joke – Millineum
Killing Joke – 80’s (live>
Killing Joke – Money Is Not Our God
Killing Joke – A New Day. That video is so 80’s it hurts.
Geordie (from Killing Joke) in the studio

Rush – Fly By Night. So 70’s it hurts.
(This is a good point that I’ve thought that Geordie from Killing Joke and Alex from Rush shared some stylistic elements in their guitar playing. Mostly the use of suspended chords featuring lots of open strings, and heavy tones drenched in chorus. Granted, this isn’t a great example of a Rush song like that)
Rush – After Image. A better example of my above comment.

Dead Kennedys – California Uber Alles – Live

Primus – Welcome To This World over a Missy Eliot video. W.T.F
Primus – To Defy The Laws Of Tradition Ancient live version from a radio show.
Primus – Too Many Puppies

Screaming Jay Hawkins – I Put A Spell On You on Night Music
Bootsy Collins on Night Music
(The fact that “Night Music” isnt available on DVD, but “SuperNanny” is, is proof the world is not just)

Booker T and The MG’s – Green Onions. Totally. Bad. Ass.
Sun Ra’s verison of “Pink Elephants” from Dumbo with the video synced to his version.
“Some call me Mr. Ra… others call me Mr. Ree [mystery]”.
Fretless Guitar Festival. I have a fretless guitar. I’m a geek.
Mahivishnu Orchestra On “Don Kichsners Rock Concert”
Return To Forever – The Magician. Live.
Return To Forever – Space Circus
Return To Forever – ??
Return To Forever – Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy

Dave Brubeck – Take Five

Midnight Star – No Parking On The Dance Floor Electro much?
Midnight Star – Operator
Afrika Bambaataa – Planet Rock
Kraftwerk – Trans Europe Express. For comparions

misc

The internet is filled with annoying people.

I’m tempted to buy a trials motorcycle. Someone local is selling one. I have no place to ride one, and have never ridden one before. I might buy it anyway. Looks like fun if I could find a place to ride. But it Looks So Damn Cool..

weekend

Spent most of the weekend in Winston Salem. Went to check out Japan Air and Lake Trout. Excellent show.

Ended up driving half of Lake Trout and Japan Air around Winston Salem after the show. Since they were, un, slightly drunk. Just a touch.

Ran into them again at brunch. The drummer seems to be able to recite the entire script to “Fargo”.

Late getting home, and a an unintended nap.

names

According to census.gov “Likins” is the 43,100th most popular last name, and “Adrian” is the 227th most popular first name in the US according to the 1990 census.

Not sure where the 2000 data is though.

Spent most of last week up in Westford. Talking about “work stuff”. Did manage to run into ovrclokd in the cafeteria, which was a bit unexpected.

Last day or two I’ve been messing with an internal livejournal setup we’re been experimenting with at work. Kind of an interesting diversion. But it kind of reminded me why I don’t do perl or ldap anymore. I used to, but I feel much better now.

The livejournal code is kind of interesting. Not often you get to poke around at the code used to run a huge website. Looking at the code and the lj scaling paper makes for interesting reading.

catchup

The hurricanes game I got the last minute box seat tickets for (canes vs capitals) turned out to be a really good game.

Been hanging out at Kulture when I get a chance. You should too.

The hard drive in my mp3 player seems to be dying. It works, but a section around about the “k’s” causes all sorts of read errors in usb drive mode. And if I try to play anything from it, it locks up spinning the harddrive till the battery dies. Neat. I’ve ran a fsck.vfat on it a few times before, but that seemed to only work for a bit. I’d replace the drive in it with a 80gb, but a certain fruit company has cornered the market on the needed drives.

Taxes. Ugh.

Anyone played with ninjam?
