Firesign was on Vinyl. You can find it online, Spotify, and most of the others. Probably best to listen to at least the first 4 albums in order.
Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him
How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You’re Not Anywhere at All The quote above is from side 2 of this album
Don’t Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers
I Think We’re all Bozos on this Bus
After that, it gets a little disjointed, as the group breaks up and comes together. Lets Make Up and Be Friendly is next.
They are GREAT on headphones. Lots going on, but not so much you can’t enjoy it.
My post was a response to a comment about rain in L.A.
It lost context when it was moved.
Sometimes I know my reply is off topic but like old progressive radio, I can’t resist making a hidden (perhaps quantum) connection.
Regarding the thought about headphones and Firesign Theater, years later I’d been listening to The Orb’s Cyberiad album and marveled at the richness of what they were doing, how complex it was, yet how similar in many ways to the dial turning in a lot of Firesign.
The new Mackbook Pro, fully loaded, almost makes light work of things that used to require a Mac Pro. This is going to transform what I can do, and how I do it, as the “World Tour” gets underway.
Fortuitous timing befell me in my most recent, opportunistic, trip to one of my two favorite watch ADs (maybe more on that a bit later).
Baklava and I do not agree - specifically … I always want more when there is none left.
Yesterday saw the arrival of a much anticipated little box. This should be a good week for many.
Tomorrow, FedEx willing … will be a similarly good day (HEDDphone). Even if that means sod-all else will get done.
Nope, not an IEM, though the rest of the statement is true enough.
Side-grades have never really been my thing. That seems to be more a function of impatience than anything … rather than waiting until a proper, actual, upgrade is available. Serial side-grading (which seems to be a common thing with side-grades - the serial part that is) frequently leads to being stuck in mid-fi purgatory and/or pov-fi*!
*“Pov-Fi” or “Poverty-Fi” is what happens when people continually side-grade, or buy endless tweaky-gadgets, rather than keeping what they have and saving/waiting for a real upgrade. It says nothing about the quality of gear involved - merely that the poor sod doing it usually winds up in a state of hi-fi-budget-poverty.
Just wanted to say that I didn’t expect Kobe and his daughter’s passing to affect me this much. He was a large part of my childhood and many others, and it’s so unbelievably sudden that it’s hard to process.
RIP Kobe, GiGi, and all the others who passed in the crash yesterday.
