Non-Music Shit / Re: are new yorkers really this big of pussies???

Hee, that occurred to me but as I contemplated massaging the shit-pun accordingly, well, I simply lacked the willpower to stare down that (wo)manhole and I realized I'm no Comte de Latrinemont.

Always eager for more Space Moose!

Would much rather put my finger on a cliterection than on urban hobo manure, but that's probably just a symptom of my lack of cosmopolitanism. Call me a faecist pig.

Talibam! should 'link up' with Scott Storch, who once 'beefed' with Timbaland and said he looked like he had a "pack of franks out the back of [his] neck"

Is this the insanity we can expect from a board without hilsside_wrangler?

You can run the Ubuntu OS off a memory stick. If you use Windows, you should do that, that's what I described initially. Just download the OS to a memory stick, put it in your USB port and when the machine loads up hit F-whatever it asks to get to setup or bios and change the setting so that it loads off the memory stick instead of the hard drive.

Are you able to switch back and forth to Windows easily? Like, would you just have to restart your computer in Ubuntu and then just hit F8 once it's starting back up?

I don't think you even need to do that. If you boot from the memory stick, all you'd have to do is shut down the computer and remove the memory stick and then start back up... should default to Windows.

The way this works is based on how the boot order is defined in BIOS. So... you can set the BIOS to attempt to boot from an external device (USB stick) if a bootable external device is present to boot from. If no device is present, it will move on to the next option (e.g. Windows).

I believe Windows factory installs probably don't attempt to boot from external device by default, hence the need to press F8 or whatever when BIOS comes up on startup and manually select the boot drive.

So... when you DO boot from the USB that you have installed Linux on and configured to be bootable, you are literally just running from that drive... your hard disk that is partitioned to Windows is still partitioned to Windows. You can INSTALL Linux from a USB as well and overwrite some or all of the Windows partition, but you'll definitely know when you are doing this... not gonna happen by accident.

What k. is describing just keeps anything you do from the USB booted OS local to the USB drive itself. I mean, the data traffic still goes through your PC network card blah blah blah, but data accessed and saved will be written to the USB drive.

At least that is my understanding of it.

Edit: I am actually not sure about the portion struck out. My experience is more booting from a USB to actually do an install, so I am going to shut my yap and let somebody who regularly does this explain if need be.

(I just want a cabinet position; I'm modest)

I am daydrinking with gusto so I must say:

"I am sure you can find somebody to pay you to work their wood shelves, sirrah."

I have been listening to Pagan Altar and Songs From Christian Life Communities in West Germany today but will now switch to some Twisted Guitar Rock. Looking forward to the arrival of some Cold Vomit releases order'd per yr post.

I probably also should buy you a copy of the Liimanarina comp. But I ain't handling yer knotty woodwerks.

Yah, he was a bittova star on da Hematites football 'n basketball teams, dere, in 'is heyday. Only been in da Tourist Trap once, gotta say da best part (at least back den) was da fine art sculp'chers out front, so's just a drive past wuz ennuff ta saddisfy tha urge fer culture on tha way ta Frank's Italian Deli fer a cudaghi ("You get what you pay for. No more, no less").

Been a couppla years since was up dere, but I'm sure I'll make it back when da time is right. A swing by da ski jumpin' hall o' fame is a must! Celebs galore!

Also, Bull, you not hip to the NWW/'lab collab? Some good shit right dere.

Plus than that, I listened to more Al Green cos he relaxx my nerves.  Holy shit, man, the production on those records.  Willie Mitchell was a genius, or what?  So much restraint.  The definition of mellow.  The way he blends the congas with the traps; the subtle swelling waves of Hammond and Mempho strings.  I mean, shit, man.  What more could anyone want?  Fuckle duckle doo.

Willie Mitchell's drum production is godlike

Right?  I mean, holy shit, those drums sound GOOD.  Everything sounds good on those recs.

What are some other key (non-Green) Mitchell-produced works? Listened to Gets Next to You last week and was feeling along the same lines as what's been expounded herein. Is it bullshit to think that the kind of blending accomplished here is something that can really only be done via analog means? I don't know how true that is, but my groin (soul) feels thusly.

User: Damn -- really great to see some posts from you again (unless I just have been reading the wrong threads for a couple months now)... I'm curious if you could elaborate on the underground techno scene there 'cuz you know me. Does stuff ever go down in filthy dive basements? I truly want to believe that this exists and is not just a thing perpetuated by Boomkat/Phonica reviews referring to "basements" (or, e.g. the "Clone Basement Series"). And don't just talk about the weird f?kale Bunker of Berghain.

Also, I still wonder about the percentages of these DJs doing vinyl sets as opposed to Traktor or whatever.

Bumping this thread 'cuz as part of my "gotta find a job" self betterment routine I've switched back to tallboys from micros, curtailed (some of) my record purchases and with my saved coin assembled a little Ubuntu server on the home LAN.

Tried starting w/ the latest version of Ubuntu Server cuz, well, I'm making a server. But after a couple days of running into issues stemming from my wanting to install from a 1GB USB stick. I felt clever after each workaround that seemed to get me in the right direction, but the resultant fallout of each workaround somehow lead to an inevitable(?) dependency hell centered on no fukkin' C/C++ compilers making it onto the install.

Started anew installing Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 via USB. No issues, up and running in an hour, and have been simply adding the server-related packages as appropriate. Shoulda done it this way from the start, 'cuz the box is underneath/connected to the TV so the (meager) graphics capabilities mean it's much easier now to stream Youtube/etc. on the TV.

Now I just need to learn enough to convince a new shmuck to hire me to do... something.

Some completely meaningless statements that I feel like typing anywho:

1) Liked the Youtube clip a'ight. May check out more! Thanks for the tip.

2) Gonna break out some PARSON SOUND. They had handrums, too! And chanting. And "Tunisia" was referenced in a song title.

3) The Youtube clip made me go revisit a Youtube clip of Dungen for whatever reason. Kinda dug it!

4) Africans should stick to car battery powered electric thumb pianos. Can they make "glitch" music on those barebones, solar-powered laptops?
