Synthetic

It's a nickname for my girlfriend's little brother. We call him Beeb cause he looks identical to him, same goofy haircut and all. He's 18, and he's not a bad kid like the real Justin Bieber, he's just too young to go to the clubs with us

Does your girlfriend's little brother like Justin as an artist? Does he realize that this comparison both musically & professionally is not intended to be a flattering one? Hopefully, he just ignores it & laughs it off as a friendly hazing & nothing more. I'm sure he's a nice guy though as you stated Bogie.

No he hates him, he's young just his haircut makes him look like him. Its hilarious

Not exactly. The healing process is going to be very slow, but I will survive. I've survived this kind of stuff in my legs and back before, I should be able to make it. Healing simply takes time.

Well I hope you get better soon man.

Good luck Bogie, will keep you in my prayers.

Well don't drive listening to the final tracks, you might swerve from laughing LOL

Most of the album fades into one another with the shorter songs, great record though! Plastic People and Brown Shoes are my favorites on this album so far in a day

I am for sure getting it sometime sooner then later hopefully. OMG yeah I was going to drive listening to it. .

If you're going to buy it, may want to get We're Only In It For The Money with it. Pretty sure those albums go together, I don't have it yet, it's widely considered his best album

It's not the same thing. Depending on how technical you want to get we could take this back to the first electric instrument, but the big thing/difference is aesthetics. Auto tune is annoying as get out, back up singers are at least performing a natural part.

The studio has always used a number of effects that people forget about. Overproduction does exist today, but I get tired of hearing about how super perfect everything was orthodox and absent of effects back in the "good old days". It's much easier to record digitally today than it was 30 years ago with analog.

You don't want to read what I was reading yesterday, trust me.

What does the doctor say? If it hurts stop using it! lol

I promised myself last year, I would not put the book down until I finish it. I've made it this far, I'll pick back up on it later.

He's an incredible educator, capable of making even the most complex concepts graspable to the average individual.

Yeah, that's what I like about him. Science is not my strongest subject. I'm more into philosophy and economics, socio-economics and political science/ideology. So listening to him from time to time is very useful in learning new things.

I missed the 13 episode "Cosmos" series & I have never seen Mr. Tyson talk about science other than a few You Tube videos. The line that "science is sexy" & that "science...can be in both your mind & your heart" is complete nonsense to me because science is a clinical discipline without emotion. It is not a religious, world changing experience. It is looking for formulas & chemical reactions that can be duplicated every single time without fail. JMO.

Did you ever catch a TV show called Jazz Scene USA from the 1960's? I don't know if the show was broadcast in America or Europe, but ever since I seen this clip of Barney Kessel on there, I've been so curious

I can't recall that show. It's been a very long time and a few years of abusing my body makes it hard to remember some things! lol

Bogie- I looked up Jazz Scene USA and found out it was a US TV show from 1962. It was a Steve Allen production and made 26 shows. There are some of those avalible on DVD.

5 days of non stop raining so far

Ouch Bogie. All that precipitation reminds me of Seattle. Should I send you some galoshes & 2 dozen umbrellas ASAP? Just Kidding! Quack, quack, quack.

Seattle often competes with the Gulf Coast in terms of statistics on who gets the most rain yearly.

HUGE thanks for that link Nadine, oh boy does that bring back memories. The AOL discs, dial up...Used to play Doom, Starcraft and Diablo with the CD, never would have dreamed out day computer games would be playable without the disc.

Great stuff!

I remember the Johnny Cash rant on Johnny Cash courtesy of Beavis & Butthead or their Star Trek Next Generation infamous line between the caption & his 1st officer in command of the enterprise Bogie. "#1 go take a #2." LOL!

It's a shot at the Hawks this time.

I am happy for Lebron, would have never said it a year ago. It just feels right, him being home . The team chemistry of the Cavs surprises me.

As bad as they played AT HOME in the playoffs, I thought for a while that was the Falcons.

I wouldn't mind N.O. as long as I'm in a good area and the Jazz scene there does keep me interested, but as far as the whole "I love the south!" thing goes, I'm a total 360 opposite from most people down here. My dream is to live in Carcer City Nevada or Miami Florida around all those beaches

Ya Bro the Music is where it's at!! I've been lovin Colts since 1958 but if I had to chose I'm taking the MUSIC!!!

Just got a gig a little while ago to play bass for the Yearly Veterans Dinner in N.O. Thursday!!

Time to go practice Jingle Bell Rock!!

that's not funny....

It is cause I knew it was going to happen and didn't pick up that wood glue over the weekend LOL.

I will dedicate it to...people.

Would it be fair to say that "Against All Odds" your "True Colors" toward Mr. Collins is not a "Groovy Kind Of Love" or "Another Day In Paradise" Boogie? Just Kidding!

Don't forget In The Air Tonight!

Need to get all of their CDs. Just trying to save up money!

Hi, their albums are expensive. Just a tip, keep a look out for used copies on EBay. They are much cheaper than the usual 13-16 bucks for one of the brand new remasters.

I have two of the new remasters from 2009 and they do sound great, but there really is no difference compared to the old EMI/Capital CD releases if you have a good output stereo. I play mine on the computer, and the older discs still sound great.

It was like meant to be too. It literally was raining while he sang Purple Rain. I love that stuff when it works out that way.

Purple Rain is an emotional song too. First time I ever seen the movie, oh yeah I teared up watching that for the first time. He does not play it much either, also Let's Go Crazy, he cranked up his guitar for that.

I love Prince. Always have. May not be popular to admit that. But, I met him once many years ago and he's a very humble, kind person. I also think he is an incredibly talented songwriter and performer. A little odd. But, who isn't....

Wish I could help and understood this stuff lol

2 people sent me private messages, I appreciate them. It's still working, just the external is busted lol. I've been fighting these things for 10 years.

I'm going to use ET to blame for things I don't understand.

From an archaeological stand point, the explanations blamed on aliens make little sense if you go through the cultures of these places.

DUDE...aliens for sure. Man. Pass the bong. Aliens....lolz......

Aliens created bongs that they gave to ancient people. That's how Native Americans learned what to smoke and what not.

It's an addictive song, though it's drawn out 8 minutes. I LOVED when he did it on the SB. Best SB half time show ever

Yeah we did get the best halftime show. And then got the Who vs. the Saints. We own the halftime stuff. The Prince Purple Rain thing was surreal at the game since it literally was raining when he did it. It rained hard that whole night.

I liked that he started off with Let's Go Crazy and did that medley. I remember the rain, it was crazy. Prince is a phenomenal live artist. If he ever comes close, you gotta see him. You won't be disappointed.

You'll be fine buddy, even though I can't blame most people for thinking about wanting to it end from time to time, been there before.

RIP Lauren!

Yes, sometimes this world can be very depressing. Please hang around Bogie. I'd miss not having music & movie discussions with you my friend.

It always bums me out when people I really enjoy are no longer here. It still blows losing Williams & Bacall so close together because it feels like part of your youth dies with their final departure.

What??? Isn't that the guy from Static X? I never really got into them but sad news.

Yeah he had a drug overdose last night.

I could use a pair of ear plugs, though I'm having a blast behind the keyboard tonight

Lovely weather outside last night for fireworks! Cannot remember a 4th that was not beastly hot!

Too hot really, good thing we got rain, hate to see another bad fire on the count of dryness.

It's British too. You love your British stuff, well these guys had some big Disco hits over there. Never made a splash on U.S. charts. It's a guilty pleasure of mine I guess you could say LOL

I like it more now that I know it is British.

The Brits did dominate 80's dance scene with crazy stuff. They had to compete with the Italo-Disco artists, explains the bizarre flashy stuff, dance music has always been better with Euro style.

I loved vinyls. I had mine displayed around my room. I was a dork. But, music has always been my thang.

I did the same thing when I was younger and still do it to this day. I have my Judas Priest Defenders and Screaming For Vengeance mounted up

Awesome!
