      Where's JFK when you need him? A "Happy Birthday Mr. President" singing serenade joke reference performed by Norma Jeane Mortenson AKA Marilyn Monroe.

      That version of Blue Monday is nuts. There is a Marilyn sample in there somewhere (why I used it). I'd love to know who made that and mixed all those weird samples together

      WOW they didn't know what a cassette was? :O I'm at a loss of words. I hated cassettes so much. I never had to deal with 8 tracks, but I'm totally shocked that kids these days have no idea what cassettes are! They have it made with their digital stuff

    3. southwest1

      I think a few knew what a cassette was, but clearly some people were at a loss for words. My favorite is still vinyl. There's just something so unique & landmark about record grooves & a needle that I love especially when the needle runs out of grooves & is over. Nothing else like it my man. I just prefer vinyl to digital sound wise I guess.

    4. Synthetic

      Synthetic

      Vinyl still sounds best for outside quality though I believe FLAC has won my choice for the best audio quality as of now, just impossible to get codecs for it on ITunes and Windows media player.

      I can't remember the last time the Saints had a good kicker. Carney was inconsistent, Hartley was a joke, and that guy that missed the extra points this year, worse.

      There's an underground click of Jeff Beck fans here than. Warhorse yourself and I. Amazing fusion records. (that's one of my favorite genera's) Do check out Mahavishnu. It's pretty wicked cool.

    4. Synthetic

      Thanks, I will check it out for sure. I have Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow, one of the few fusion records I fell in love with. I do like Wired a little more though, haven't checked out the other stuff Hammer did with him. Beck is a brilliant guitarist, for my money he's the closest thing to Hendrix there ever was.

      Very vintage Spinal Tap esque in terms of marking/promo stuff. I actually like lead vocalists in metal that actually try to harmonize vs shout lyrics & choruses. Thanks for letting me know this album is actually out Bogie. Major props for keeping me in the loop. You rock!

      The singer is good. I like his style as a screamer ala Rob Halford. Very classic 80's style retro metal. It sounds so much like a modernized version of Mercyful Fate in their prime. Here's the full song

      No problems Jules. I always enjoy your comical deviations. Neither you or Bogie have anything to apologize for ever. Off topic: I hope you 2 are getting a kick out of my Bogie & Bacall film festival review session BTW. I'm really gaining an appreciation for their on screen chemistry actually & I owe u 2 a debt of gratitude for that. Thank you. :)

      Dark Passage is a good one, and the Big Sleep. Big Sleep is obviously their best film together, Bogart as a detective, the noir in that is supreme. I didn't really care for To Have, and Have Not. It's OK, a bit overrated. Key Largo is great since Edward G Robinson is playing a villain and he gets a chance to really shine in that film as a sorta reincarnation of his character from Little Ceaser (my favorite of his). Edward G was an awesome mobster on screen.

      If you watch Dark Passage, that's an interesting movie for the first person camera angle in the first hour. There is some interesting parts in that too, which is told from Bogie's perspective in first person, since you're watching the people walk up to him and make eye contact, like the scene where the guy stops him to ask if he knows him from somewhere cause he's dressed nice. Some say, it's a bit disappointing when he comes on camera, cause the first person scenes are th...

      Crazycolt: That was awesome you did that! I'm sure they really appreciated that. Unrelated issue: I would love to talk with the heads of these communication/music programs at these colleges. I go to job fairs and there are so many kids that have graduated and interested in on-air jobs in radio and these jobs are diminishing. It makes me sad for these kids. The radio business has changed so much. They need more engineering/IT/sales related jobs in radio.

      Forgive me for butting in guys....but yes....Jeff Beck is fantastic. He and Stanley Clarke performed in 2006 at the "North Sea Jazz Festival" and blew the roof off. If you haven't heard that show I posted one of their songs in the "What Are You Listening To?" Forum thread. Really great stuff.

      While that is true, I give them credit for boosting security. Windows 8 and 8.1 have far better security than XP and Vista ever had.

      I managed to get the first one to run on Windows 8. I love it, haven't played it in a long time. The 2nd one is widely hated due to the cut content but it does have better features than the first one; you can influence your party members to become dark side or light side.

      Cool. I'm glad you got the 1st one to work on Windows. You always feel like you beat the odds when you figure out a way to run a game on a machine previously thought 2 be incompatiable. Machine vs machine & man won. Woo Hoo!
