Misc. Musings

This past weekend I made my first trek to a record shop. Now, this wasn't a music shop, this was a genuine, musty-cardboard smelling antique shop located in an air-conditioned warehouse. The purchases from Amazon were all one-sided. They contained experiences, yes, but they were all from a listening stand-point. Actually going and looking for vinyl IS getting your cherry popped because its the whole she-bang. A dingy, cool but still muggy old basement is probably a part of first-time ... Read More

When was the last time you actually spent quality time with your favorite album? And I mean quality time, not just having it playing in the background while you read, clean, have sex, or balance the check book. One hundred percent quality, sit-your-***-down and focus on the music. Melt into whatever it is you're sitting or laying on. Let the music absorb into you like smoke coming off fire, each piece of the music with its own flame, burning red, yellow, blue, and green. Feel it transform ... Read More

I want to preface this by saying that whomever came up with the "fake antivirus package" type trojan needs to be shot in the face with a shotgun.
Anyway, this past weekend my parents ran into a problem with their computer - they couldn't get on the internet. Everything was hooked up and you could click into Firefox, but a warning page would load up and warn you about insecure internet navigation and give you two options. Option 1 would allow you to "enable protection" which ... Read More

Music has been an obsession with me since high-school and it has grown to become a big black hole in my wallet, not that I care. I try my best to get a taste for whatever interests me and give everything a fair chance, so I can maintain a balanced palette so I don't run everything I like into the ground with over-listening.
As a music-obsessive I have dealt with a lot of different formats: cassettes, CDs, and digital ones would be the most obvious. In the back of my mind, however, ... Read More

Mark down this fashion phenomena as yet another thing I simply do not understand regarding the female crowd. With Winter looming over the horizon and cold weather beginning to move in, campus has turned into a daily fashion show of UGG boots.
I cannot honestly explain exactly why I have such strong negative feelings against these shoes. I'm sure they're warm and comfy and all of those sensible reasons, but these are colleges girls and we all know they're willing to sacrifice individualism ... Read More

Walking down the brick, pedestrian streets of downtown Charlottesville there is an obvious sense of arrogance in the fixtures and displays of the stores and restaurants that attracts a certain type of consumer. Coincidentally, this atmosphere attracts music that I am largely interested in, which raises questions about my own arrogance regarding music, but that's another matter at hand. The type of music that's not commercial enough to be ... Read More

I was wondering if anybody could give me some points with the reel maker? Its not hard to operate, but I'm having trouble figuring out a couple items.
1) How do I get the camera to stay on an off-the-ball player rather than staying with the ball? I want to create a reel of Kobe coming off a screen, getting the pass, and shooting a sweet jumper but can't seem to get the camera to stay on Kobe - it always goes back to wherever the ball is.
2) When putting more than one ... Read More

I'll probably make a thread to get more suggestions but lately I've been wanting to get into funk and some reggae (mainly Bob Marley), so I'm looking for suggestions.
Funk/Soul I've been looking at James Brown (I have Live at the Apollo, so I'm looking at some studio albums), Parliament, Sly Stone, Funkadelic, etc.
I'm not sure where to start with Marley. I see Legend mentioned a lot, but I prefer studio albums over compilations.
Any suggestions, gentlemen? ... Read More
