Rodger: Sat Feb 8, 03 at 10:23:04 PM (EST) - Re-Post sorry about that. Here is a corrected re-post of what I had earlier Thursday night, went to see Kasey Chambers at the El Ray Theater. She put on a good show. Warming up for her were her father, Bill Chambers (who also played lead guitar in Kasey' band) and Robinella and the CC String Band Bill basically did a regular coffee house set and Robinella and the CC String Band were very good country style string band from Nashville. Tried to get their CD while there, but they sold out before I got there. Kasey Chambers was a lot of fun. I'd consider seeing her again when she returns. A fun evening. Last night, I went to a small hole in the wall tavern in Burbank called The River Bottom to see the humours novelty blues rockers King Con. they have a rather small following, but they are also very competent musicians, so I always enjpoy seeing them. and in a little bit, I will be leaving here to go to The Doll Hut in Anaheim to see Los Straitjackets. They always put on a very good show. Rodger: Sat Feb 8, 03 at 10:01:16 PM (EST) - Music Buying Spree Got the new Los Lobos CD Good Morning Aztlan. Excellent CD feturing the usual Los Lobos mix of roots rock and music with a bit of spanish influence. Also ran out to Best Buy and bought a whole bunch of music DVD's that I still need to watch. The last spree I bought stuff from classic hard rockers Rush and Deep Purple as well as punkish stuff from The Butthole Surfers and a CD from Ben Folds Five. No comment yet an any of these DVD's since I still need to find time to view them. Tiki: Sat Feb 8, 03 at 12:16:12 AM (EST) - np: Ed Sanders...

Were they to punk (or surf) what The Tubes or Sparks were to rock and roll?... an off times satirical representation? They're not obvious like the Rutles or Spinal Tap ... but still ... The Spoiled Brats From Malibu I -- the real estate lady in the background cracks me up. A friend burned both My Beach and Locals Only on a CD and gave me a copy; I've been enjoying it thoroughly. Question: Is Dennis Dragon of the Surf Punks related to Darryl Dragon (of Captain and Tennille) and conductor Carmen Dragon? Tiki: Thu Feb 6, 03 at 11:40:37 PM (EST) - LOL KD... I love the Surf Punks!

You have to poke around at that web site and enter in different mission numbers. I listened to them with RealPlayer and got goosebumps at the end of each song when the crew members responded to their choice of music and communicated with mission control. If you folks just read the list and didn't check the web site link you must listen to at least one song on their list. Each song can be played from start to finish in several formats for any computer type. Just be prepared for the voices at the end. A very eclectic variety of tunes. KD: Thu Feb 6, 03 at 12:34:01 AM (EST) - I agree with Judi That would make an interesting mix tape or cd. Do they have music for all the other missions? KD: Thu Feb 6, 03 at 12:31:50 AM (EST) - Like that made sense. KD: Thu Feb 6, 03 at 12:30:45 AM (EST) - Dr. Singer I presume ... This is my first extended exposure to Paul Weller. When is he playing the Wiltern? A bootleg cd huh? I keep playing Illumination over and over, much like I did with a recent Brian Eno acquisition. It's not like it's grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and demanded to be heard or danced to (dance-dammit-dance / yowsah yowsah [gunshot] yowsahyowsahyowsahyowsah) ... More like a new friend; someone ... you know might have a rough edge or two, but that's ok, because they never drink cheap beer. Only the good stuff, because life is too short not to enjoy it while it's going down. np: The Church, The Unguarded Moment Judi: Wed Feb 5, 03 at 09:35:27 AM (EST) - wake up calls would make an interesting mix tape Flight Day 17 Red Team - "Scotland the Brave" by The Black Watch and the band of the 51st Highland Brigade Flight Day 17, Blue Team - "If You've Been Delivered" by Kirk Franklin Flight Day 16, Red Team - "Shalom lach eretz nehederet" by Yehoram Gaon Flight Day 16, Blue Team - "Silver Inches" by Enya Flight Day 15, Red Team - "Yaar ko hamne ja ba ja dekha" by Abita Parveen Flight Day 15, Blue Team - "Imagine" by John Lennon Flight Day 14, Red Team - "Up on the Roof" by James Taylor Flight Day 14, Blue Team - "I Get Around" by The Beach Boys Flight Day 13, Red Team - "Running to the Light" by Runrig Flight Day 13, Blue Team - "Slow Boat to Rio" by Earl Klugh Flight Day 12, Red Team - "Love of My Life" by Queen Flight Day 12, Blue Team - "When Day is Done" by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli Flight Day 11, Red Team - "Drops of Jupiter" by Train Flight Day 11, Blue Team - "I Say a Little Prayer" by Dionne Warwick Flight Day 10, Red Team - "The Prayer" Flight Day 10, Blue Team - "Hotel California" performed by Pilot William McCool's family Flight Day 9, Red Team - "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas Flight Day 9, Blue Team - "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads Flight Day 8, Red Team - "Ma ata osheh kesheata kam baboker?" by Arik Einstein Flight Day 8, Blue Team - "Hakuna Matata" by The Baha Men Flight Day 7, Red Team - "Prabhati" by Ravi Shankar Flight Day 7, Blue Team - "The Wedding Song" by Peter Paul and Mary Flight Day 6, Red Team - "God of Wonders" by Steve Green Flight Day 6, Blue Team - "Texan 60" Flight Day 5, Red Team - "Amazing Grace" by Black Watch and 51 Band of Highland Brigade Flight Day 5, Blue Team - "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead Flight Day 4, Red Team - "Hatishma Koli" by Hachalonot Hgvohim Flight Day 4, Blue Team - "Cultural Exchange" Flight Day 3, Red Team - "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple Flight Day 3, Blue Team - "Coming Back to Life" by Pink Floyd Flight Day 2, Red Team - "America, the Beautiful" by the Texas Elementary Honors Choir, with Rick Husband's daughter, Laura Flight Day 2, Blue Team - "EMA EMA" Judi: Wed Feb 5, 03 at 08:54:15 AM (EST) - music Here's a link to the list of daily tunes to wake up the astronauts during the flight.

SRF: Mon Feb 3, 03 at 04:17:40 PM (EST) - Phil (Hey Joe) Spector - Hi RTE Music Legend Arrested In Connection With Homicide UPDATED: 11:35 a.m. PST February 3, 2003 LOS ANGELES -- Music industry veteran Phil Spector was reportedly arrested Monday morning in connection with a local shooting, according to authorities. Shortly after 5 a.m. Monday morning, Alhambra police officers responded to a call from the 1700 block of S. Grandview Drive regarding a shooting, according to the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau. When the officers arrived they discovered that a female had been shot inside the location, according to authorities. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect, identified by authorities as Phillip Spector, 62, was taken into custody and is currently being detained at the Alhambra police station. Spector created the "Wall of Sound" effect that involved overdubbing scores of musicians to create a massive roar, which changed the way pop records were produced. Among his session players, known as the "Wrecking Crew," were guitarist Glen Campbell, pianist Leon Russell, drummer Hal Blaine and the late Sonny Bono, who learned the producer's trade under Spector. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, Spector produced records for the Beatles, the Righteous Brothers, the Crystals and Darlene Love. Spector produced a string of '60s hits, including the Crystals' "Da Doo Run Run" and "Then He Kissed Me," the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" and "Walking in the Rain," and Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" and "(Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry." Spector married Ronnie Bennett, a member of the girl group the Ronettes. They divorced in 1974. He has five children. Spector's father, Benjamin, committed suicide in 1949. Spector later visited the grave and used the inscription "To Know Him Was to Love Him" as the basis for a hit song. Spector's last major album was "End of the Century," a 1980 collaboration with the Ramones. During the session, the late bassist Dee Dee Ramone said Spector pulled a gun on the band. RTE: Mon Feb 3, 03 at 01:34:35 PM (EST) - Phil Spector That last post was referring to him.... RTE: Mon Feb 3, 03 at 01:33:37 PM (EST) - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling Seems the Wall O'Sound guy's paranoia, in conjunction with his gun fixation, has bit him on the ass. Arrested in the shooting death of a woman in Alhambra. He used to scare the shit outta John Lennon. Tiki: Sat Feb 1, 03 at 07:34:36 PM (EST) - :( Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there. I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God. --- John Gillespie Magee, Jr Jones: Sat Feb 1, 03 at 02:20:23 PM (EST) - RTE Pretty lousy. I was pissed about having to work all weekend. I've had my perspective properly adjusted. RTE: Sat Feb 1, 03 at 11:38:54 AM (EST) - Columbia Another space shuttle exploded. Damn. Tiki Jack: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 10:53:37 PM (EST) - Jack in the Box LOL - I am sure my use of text below (for my tests) seem a tad bit strange. But the truth is, I have started a new collection... Either my local JITB did not participate in these promos, or I missed out using the drive-through feature. Yowzer... bendie Jacks ! Jack Bendies Tiki: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 10:37:07 PM (EST) - Judy Ahhh... Netscape 6 The monitor set at a screen resolution of 1024/768 is not the problem. We design sites at that rez. With powerBooks in mind. For some reason — Netscrape (not a typo) 6 treats 13 to 16 px size as the same size. On version 4.72 the complete opposite. IE as well. For the time being, I have increased the leading and added a little more width to the post area. I guess I will load Netscrape 7 on this PowerBook (running 4.72 at the moment) and see what is up. As it looks like eBay (if ever there was a bunch of nuts) decided to fix my board (it was not broke). The result appears that I can no longer access it with 4.72. ARG... Just my 2 cents .. but I like 4.72 - I do not like 6... Oh well Sandy: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 08:58:25 PM (EST) - Break out the Coppertone Being just a few miles farther inland from Kyle, our neck of the woods got up to 88 today... fabulous.

Kyle, you gave me a scare there! I saw the -85 degrees and figured "hell must have frozen over" in California. Oh you mean it was 85 warm degrees! Phew! You were almost talking Maine winter temperatures there. However today was the first day the temp got above freezing (32F) all month and stuff was dripping and melting and oh so lovely I opened the door briefly. Busy week for me, my son and his girlfriend moved out of a non-winterized camp and into a warm duplex and I had to "cat sit" and help move and finally tonight the cat is gone and all the boxes are out of my place. Life for all returns to normal. Except for the older son who is in London on business this week and flew his girlfriend over to London for "The weekend", amidst an ice storm and snow there virtually closing the city and airports. Hope he is having "fun". It's not my problem! PS: I think I figured out how to enlarge type size here. kyle: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 04:23:15 PM (EST) - happy friday to everybody- 85 degrees and sunny beautiful here on the left coast. test drive from hell reveals beautiful blue pacific ocean that's as smooth as glass. except for the brown haze sitting up against the mountains. must be those damned suv's consuming "big" oil.. Judi: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 07:56:36 AM (EST) - Not color blind Yes I can see the darker colored fonts, but can someone explain to me how to make the font appear larger? I am using Netscape 6 on a 13" diagonal measured Apple monitor on my Macintosh G4 computer set at screen resolution- 1024/768. The text area where people have already posted is indent a little over an inch on the left edge then I see the line defining a text area a little over 5" wide and the rest of the area to the right is white space of almost 4". Either widen the text area or explain to me how to make the words bigger!All this squnting is giving me a headache. And Mr KD, why has Sony blocked the songs but not the soundtrack? Waiting for the official release date of either the cd or movie? Well it worked because I'm itching to hear a new Mary Fahl tune.. KD: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 03:12:42 AM (EST) - Tiki Yes, I am seeing the new color. Just a touch darker -- nice. np: The Box Tops, The Letter Tiki: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 01:02:40 AM (EST) - ACK Are you know = Are you now Tiki: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 12:59:39 AM (EST) - KD Are you know seeing the new body font color? The script is looking at my CSS statements... KD: Fri Jan 31, 03 at 12:43:42 AM (EST) - I agree with Judi Sony *isn't* allowing the 2 new songs to be heard on the web site. Tiki: Thu Jan 30, 03 at 10:02:06 PM (EST) - Font color test This is a test Judi: Thu Jan 30, 03 at 11:59:47 AM (EST) - new movie about the Civil War A new movie will be out next month called "Gods and Generals" and what has me excited is 2 songs from the soundtrack. Bob Dylan has written one song and my new favorite female artist Mary Fahl has the other. Mary has been around for a long time as lead vocalist of "October Project". I just recently heard about her when someone gave me a used "October Project" cd. I still don't understand why she isn't a huge hit but at least now with this new soundtrack she will be getting a bit more exposure. My AAA radio station, WCLZ, will be playing the 2 songs from the soundtrack next Tuesday during their "new music Tuesday "segment. I will be sure to be listening. Review to follow. Sony isn't allowing the 2 new songs to be heard on the web site but you can listen to the general soundtrack cuts from the album there. Judi: Thu Jan 30, 03 at 08:02:50 AM (EST) - Free stuff I know you have a local Saturn Dealership in your part of the country, so amble on over and ask for your free DVD called "Inside the tribe", a preview of the new CBS Survivor Amazon show. Interviews with all the cast members, 2 commercials for the Saturn ION. 30 min long and yes it is free, don't even have to test drive any cars. Then again some of you might just go get a few free copies and sell them on Ebay. Tiki: Thu Jan 30, 03 at 01:37:44 AM (EST) - pearl LOL... You have to love it... ummm, well I do.... Tiki: Thu Jan 30, 03 at 01:27:14 AM (EST) - KD So do I... I will keep the name, topic the glow blue. But I do think the body reads well a bit darker... KD: Thu Jan 30, 03 at 12:10:14 AM (EST) - Tiki I like the slightly darker text color. KD: Thu Jan 30, 03 at 12:07:44 AM (EST) - My opinion of the Democrat's response to the President's State The Osbornes/Osmonds commercial was also pretty funny, though it did try *really* hard to be funny. It was cool that all parties were comfortable about their respective personas; they looked like they had fun. KD: Thu Jan 30, 03 at 12:02:06 AM (EST) - My opinion of the President's State of the Union Address I didn't know where it was going at first -- it was just horse's hooves and a tire track. Then the rewind and replay, rewind and replay ... When I saw the zebra under the hood of the instant replay monitor, I laughed out loud! Very funny! KD: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 11:58:47 PM (EST) - I agree with Judi The Dixie Chicks version was pretty good. I hadn't really cared for the Dixie Chicks, until I better understood their musicianship, and the stand they took with their record company over royalities. (While under contract, made an album and shopped it around.) Then I started listening a little bit. Takes a bit of a push for me to listen to country. Tiki: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 11:43:01 PM (EST) - what about this text color ? Sorry, I do not have Lorum Ispum on this PowerBook, so I grabbed text from eBay... So what do you all think? Here we have 3 action figure dolls from Jack In The Box. Figures are 4 inches in hieght and are in very good condition. One is Jack in a business suit with a burger in his hand.. Yada yada yada Tiki: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 11:31:38 PM (EST) - Jimi Just my 2 cents here... But his instrumental version at Woodstock has to be placed in the top ten... KD: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 11:30:58 PM (EST) - forgot the tags np: Paul Weller, Illumination then the rest of the stuff KD: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 11:28:58 PM (EST) - Music np: Paul Weller, Illumination Cool album, I'm enjoying it greatly. Leafy Mysteries - nice. It's Written In The Stars - modern feel and unusual ending. Wish my copy had lyrics. kyle: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 06:07:15 PM (EST) - g-d- the keys on the keyboard are next to each other, right? kyle: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 06:05:46 PM (EST) - o.k., that thread got some response- cool.. something i have noticed lately, alot of material from about 20 years ago seems to be creeping back into the mainstream, covers such as tiny dancer by tim mcraw and landslide by the afore mentioned dixie chunks. i do like all the chics music, but can not stand their redo of landslide. and watching sir elton perform tiny gancer with mcgraw, it's like the master trying to teach the kid how to ride a bike.. SRF: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 05:10:51 PM (EST) - Star Bangled I also remember Josh Gruban (sp?) did a real nice job of the Anthem B4 Game 1 of Giants-Angels. Earlier that baseball season Anastasia did the WORST version prior to the AllStar Game, mangling the words as well as trying to be cool with a lot of soul... YUCK!!! Robert Dillworth: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 10:39:23 AM (EST) - National Anthem robert_dillworth@mac.com well - I for one am interested in hearing any interpretive version of the anthem - but unfortunately MOST do bite the big one. One of the best "modern" versions I ever heard was, believe it or not, Sung a capella to open a baseball game (world series?) by Huey Lewis and the News. Was stirring to hear that Wilson Pickett-ish lead and the bright crisp harmonies below him. WOW Most others have sucked - I did like the Lou Rawls and Whitney versions - didn't hear the Chicks as I am not a sports fan so I went on a retreat that weekend (cheaper rates - everyone else was home!) Sandy: Wed Jan 29, 03 at 09:53:28 AM (EST) - Did You Know? Every bean in the whole darned world, no matter where it's grown, originally came from South and Central America?

NP: Darius Rucker- "Exodus" SRF: Tue Jan 28, 03 at 12:09:51 PM (EST) - Judi I think a close 2nd for the Anthem would be Whitney Houston's version sung before the 1991 Super Bowl with full orchestra and jets above. They played this version a lot in the days and weeks following 9/11 Judi: Tue Jan 28, 03 at 07:33:27 AM (EST) - National Anthem Ok so I'm fussy about my National Anthem. I like the Dixie Chicks, they have lovely voices and sang their little hearts out Sunday. BUT, I have always felt it is an ANTHEM, it still bothers me when the National Anthem is sung in an interpretive manner, 3 part harmony of the anthem? The Dixie Chicks sung well and on key but needed to sing the song the way it was written. That is one song I don't think is open to interpretation. I think the very best I've ever heard sing it was Lou Rawls ... did a fantastic job!!! Didn't try to 'doctor' it ... just sang it the way it was written ... GREAT! ... and I don't even want to think about what Rosanne did to it ... call it the extremes of the continuum ... he was even better, I think, than she was piss poor ... But then that is my opinion, you are entitled to yours. -11F in Maine this morning, sea smoke on the bay, sky an eerie shade of pink in the WEST, not the east. Lobster boats locked in ice at the docks, ice breakers trying to heep the harbors open for the oil tankers. Finally we get a real old fashioned WINTER our parents talked about from their childhoods! Robert Dillworth: Tue Jan 28, 03 at 02:27:20 AM (EST) - Ti Batteries robert_dillworth@mac.com have you had the battery fix for your flex problem done yet Poogie? The old Ti laptops have a problerm with FLEXION - when the unit twists ever so slightly the battery loses contact and has to be reseated. The fixd: A small plastic shim under the battery contacts in the Ti book that will keep the battery contacts touching the battery - its a free fix - go to the genius bar and they will do it for you. Poogie: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 11:41:50 PM (EST) - Thanks Tiki I'll take it to the Apple genius bar and see if they'll replace my battery. Is this an excuse to ditch the 15" and go for the 17"? ;-) Poogie: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 11:17:00 PM (EST) - Well, Tiki... Turned on the TiBook and the adapter light was amber. Said the battery was at .6 and charging. Move the 'puter and the dang batter drops out. Reseat the battery and now it shows it is charged to 100%. Bah, I'm not likin' this thing right now. At least it is working. I treat this thing like my baby, and look how it repays me! Tiki: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 11:01:33 PM (EST) - My first real computer.... Can I say PONG... teeheee.. To be honest, I just could not afford one. I worked on one ... but it was not until Diane gave me her "Hand Me Down" IIcx that I could wrap my arms around one and say you belong to me. Had it hooked up to this monster radius monitor, that I gave to RTE.. Hey RTE, do you still have that puppy? LOL, Now I own a bitchin Mac Plus and a IIc... Heck I own a mint Newton 110 (almost NIB).... Tiki: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 10:46:10 PM (EST) - kyle I have to agree with your thoughts on the dixie chicks version of our national anthem. They sang with their hearts. You will excuse me if I do not share your joy on the outcome of the game. I will say this... The best team of 2002 won. Thank Goodness... I did not shoot my mouth off like my fellow idgit brothers of the Raider Nation. I hope they are enjoying their mouthfuls of crow. kyle: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 09:58:01 PM (EST) - all in all, i thought the superbowl was a great game. and the team i've been silently rooting for 25 years finally one. and the national anthem sung by the dixie chunks was the most beautiful rendition that i had ever heard..they even replayed it on kzla today.. Tiki: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 06:59:18 PM (EST) - Poogie ACK, It sounds like your battery took a dump. Rodger: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 02:05:58 AM (EST) - Best Super Bowl Commercial - Pepsi Twist It was cool seeing Ozzie Osborne during commercial break of the game. Quite entertaining seeing him freak out when his family annouced they weren't the Osbournes, they're the Osmunds (and they transformed in from of his very eyes). Then when he told his wife about it, she turned to face him and talk to him and Ozzie freaked out again when she looked just like Mrs. Brady from the Brady Bunch. Too bad the game was very one-sided. Was rooting for the Bucs (after all those horrible seasons of past, the Tampa Bay fans deserve a winner). But would have at least like to seen the Raders make a game of it. Rodger: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 01:59:28 AM (EST) - Computers Last year, the hard drive crashed on my computer and I lost all my data. Since I was due for an upgrade anyway, I made my upgrade a few months early. Took my business to AllTech computers in Lomita since they repaired my old computer a few times and was always happy with the work they did. My new machine (roughly about 3 months old now) is a 1.4 Ghz Impression that came with a CD burner, DVD player, and a laser guided mouse. Been very happy with it. The laser mouse is super nice since it eliminates the problem of getting the track ball on the mouse gummed up. Judi - My first computer was a Mac. But got sick and tired of going to the computer store and finding very little software available for the Mac (most places had a large PC s/w available), so my next computer was a 133 MHz Dell, which wasn't a bad computer. But the one I have now really cranks. I've gotten hooked on the DVD player, primarily the music DVD's I bought. For example, when I got back home last night after seeing the Cheftains at Cerritos center, I watched my Jimi Hendrix Live at Woodstock DVD. Great show. The best DVD I own is Live In Japan by the Brian Setzer Orchestra. He always puts on a fantastic show and his DVD is no disappointment. The weirdest DVD I own is Icky Flix by the Residents. From these guys, you wouldn't expect anything but weirdness from them. But I'm a fan of their weirdness and music, so I find Icky Flix to be quite enjoyable and amusing too. Poogie: Mon Jan 27, 03 at 01:02:30 AM (EST) - Help Tiki! This is the place to talk about all things Macintosh, right? Well... I've been working on my TiBook all day. Plugged into wall.
