crazy angry person whose entire life is creating meaningless drama. my ex wife's mom used to claim men were always following her. trust me, they WEREN'T.

she used to tell crazy stories about riding the subway, totally impossible stories about that the government had gotten Columbia to hire her to carry nuclear weapons on the subway for government tests etc etc etc

you ran into the doppelganger of my ex-mother-in-law

[quick kitchen-lurking break]

Anyway, I finally unbuttoned my shirt, and said,
"look, look, I'm in this band, you know, I'm in this band you know,
and we're makin' a recording, you know.
It's about New York City, it's about crime in the streets.
"The explanation was going nowhere, but,
Finally, they just kinda let me go, I don't know why.
So I walk around the corner,
and I'm like shakin' like a leaf,
and I thought, "This is a dangerous place"
Who should appear, but two policeman.

This was strange because she seemed completely normal. She was kind of smirking and rolling her eyes as if *I* was some subway nut. I'd done absolutely nothing.

Re divorce: We all have our weirdnesses and hard-to-live-with-nesses. I bear no grudges, and am still friends with my ex (dogsat for her for a week last month); ex-mom-in-law died in 2010. -- The issue with the divorce was not the mother in law, but not being loved. Not a tale for here and now. :)

She gotcha, man. She probably does something like that several times a week, and is very good at getting around even our long-ingrained NYC subway-riding strategies and methods. -- Even the acting-normal part: Think how much effort she must have to put into *that*. :-)

The 3 and 4 are weirder than the 2 and 5, all in all :)

There's often a pair of cops on the Atlantic Ave 2 platform. What odds you give she knew they'd be there and had it all planned? Yeah, I can't tell you for sure, but hey...
Avatar Sun. 4/7/13 10:12pm Dave Mandl:

It was convincing. I was checking myself in the window to see if there was anything wrong, like I had toothpaste on my nose or something. (I didn't.)

Noticed the squaring-off of icons immeadiately - as most of mine are not square. Prob. inevitable - simpler for 'em. Tidy little metaphor!...I was self-conscious my Rabbit one was bigger than most anyway...

Avatar Sun. 4/7/13 10:59pm Droll:

The Lubomyr Melnyk was amazing -- I thought it was two pianists.

I didn't notice the change to icons. I'm so often confounded by the lack of WYSIWYG software I hardly notice. I blame defective bloatware. The two central fallacies of computing are:
1. Any problem with software can be remedied with more software
2. Testing is not way to inspect-in quality. Testing proves the presence of bugs, not their absence.

RRN63, the Conet Project box set of numbers stations recordings was a big WFMU hit in 1997-98. Seems like almost *every* DJ played some of it.

Yes fleep - makes it 'Punk'. Brits call acne 'spots' - & it recalls AIDS - no laughing matter, of course - maybe we're a solemn band...

I would argue that Jack Casady's bass makes this not-rock-and-roll.
Avatar Sun. 4/7/13 11:44pm Dave Mandl:

And this part is in 7.

Airplane is some of the earliest stuff I was exposed to in my life (sibling).
Avatar Sun. 4/7/13 11:45pm Dave Mandl:

Ditto. Listen to the bass chord coming up.
Avatar Sun. 4/7/13 11:46pm Dave Mandl:

Beautiful.

Me too RR (not sibling). And i always sort of considered it not-rock-and-roll
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 4/7/13 11:47pm Uncle Michael:

I consider lots of things not-in-4 to be R&R.

U.M.: True.

...Jimi loved Jack C. ...
- This is Rock, not Rock'n'Roll.
- The shift to Electric BassGuitar from Standup Violin Bass was a big thing...You can hear the dif. in vibe immeadiately in Eddie Cochran tunes w/ one or the other...

...'Why does the Swedish Rhapsody Numbers Station use a small girls voice?'...

This Laddio Bolocko track might be the best new thing I have heard in months! Holy shit this is good!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 4/7/13 11:54pm Uncle Michael:

Is that a rhetorical question?

I discovered Laddio Bolocko through those "What's in my bag" things on Youtube
Avatar Swag For Life Member Sun. 4/7/13 11:56pm Uncle Michael:
