Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.

But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.

Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.

UTMC mix-tape (CD) swap?

Well thanks to Jeager I have been listening to this latest rendition on my laptop since DOOM. Good stuff all around, the people at work don't know what the fuck noises are coming out my office at any given moment of the day.

I still want to replace one song (not sure which) with this:

I'm not sure if I should be accepting blame or credit for the Phantogram song.
I was driving home from a friends service in Newport RI last month and it came on the radio; for weeks I kept reminding myself to look it up. When I finally did, that was the video that came up so I posted it on FB. That's the story there.
I generally don't have much for music anymore; a few dozen old cassettes from HS, a bunch of CD's from after that, most of them are melancholic for me to listen to. So when I get a radio station while traveling that isn't fucking banjo music (which is all I get up here in the woods) I tend to absorb it quite readily.

I got really stoked a few years ago when DC basically got a "pirate" FM radio station called "The Gamut" -- run by the local news-radio station, running commercial-free, with the whole thing being run by a computer and a huge database.

The problem is that the transmitters are complete shit. As someone once described, "the wattage of a mid-range hairdryer." Reception is crap, and I've largely given up listening to it, which is sad.

Thankfully they broadcast online :

https://live.gamut.fm/listen/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Selection is all over the map. I've heard them go from James Brown to Techno to mariachi music! It's awesome. Like a college radio station run amok but with less bullshit.

Who made the mix called Go-Devil?

It's 60s garage rock and novelty songs, mixed with anti-drug PSAs and ads for B-movies.
Elitist, arrogant, intolerant, self-absorbed.

IIRC Baltimore has "The Jack" using that same set up from the same company.

No clue about that, I must have missed that one. Sounds like a good time though.

I was just talking to Wheezy E...

He told me the sad news that Andre Williams died. Then he mentioned an Andre Williams song that he had put on a mixtape CD... the very one that I was asking about.

Synchronicity.

So like a lot of you, I rarely if ever touch the stereo in my car. It stays on either NPR or a local classical station at all times, but the other day I inadvertently hit the "Source" button and it switched over to CD and sure enough Thunderfucked came on and surprised the fuck out of me because I forgot I had a copy. Nice change of pace.

CDs are hard; Spotify is easy.

Jaeger's ongoing "21st Century Blues" playlist HERE. (Please let me know if link works.)

Also, recommendations welcome.

(Can we start a UTMC playlist? Could that be a thing?)

Because I can't bring myself to start a new thread, and I feel the need to share with SOMEONE...



I love DSOTM. The CD I have was given to me by my old friend Jenmo Cramer back in the era when I still had all 10 fingers. She was appalled that I hadn't heard it all the way through and was determined to further my edumakation.

I'm not sure what to think of this video. I find it both fascinating and nauseating. I couldn't watch the whole thing, though I didn't try that hard.

I'd just rather listen to the music.

Nevertheless... there's something... fascinating about it. Mesmerizing. Deeply troubling. It speaks of acid and fever dreams. Perhaps that's just how dreaming works. It's clear that it cross-associates "Pink Floyd DSOTM" with "psychedelic stuff," albeit some bits more than others.

I guess I'm glad to have skimmed through bits of it to see what it thought of some of my favorite bits, but otherwise... I was the MTV generation, and this can kiss my whole ass.
