Cool, thanx. I guess maybe the money I'd hypothetically save via software on the Open Source tip could be put to use to just buy some new gear.
Of course, I never really buy software for my Windows machine either (or steal it) (or, really, use all that huge a variety of software).
But, yeah, will watch this thread over the next couple months, when I may be ready to transition back...

Looking forward to switching back over to Linux after some forced time off due to work VPN compatibility issues. I have a couple of donated laptops that barely work that I would throw some distro on if they were functional enough to make it worthwhile. As it is, I'm just gonna wait until a current employment transition phase is over and then I think I'll move my box over to something, or at least partition it and set it up as a dual boot machine.
I used Gentoo before because I was told it was the most nuts-and-bolts, dig-into-the-functionality-and-set-it-up-how-you-wish distro. It did take some finagling to get some hardware up and running when I set that up, but it was again on a dual boot box so maybe that had something to do with it.
In the meantime, I limp along with Cygwin and enjoy the tasks I get to perform ssh'd into our Linux boxes at work.
Are there any good Linux compatible DAWs and/or sequencer/synth VSTs? One of the main reasons I'm hesitant to fully transition my current box over is that it will be some time before I can replace my beloved hardware groovebox and I have been fucking around w/ some decent freeware in the meantime. Curious if that Hussy remix might have been done using some Linux tools?

A to Austr - Music from Holyground - Thanks to those who brought this to my attention in this thread towards the end of 2011, and those who tipped the Greek reissue. Ordered this direct (thanks, holiday bonus, this 'un wasn't that cheap) and it has been in my heavy rotation pile since January. Just total godhead, and a record that I notice new elements in every time I spin it. The way the sounds are stacked up... I remember the first time I listened being a bit caught off guard by a lot of the shifts in style and the nonlinear structures (which isn't to say I am against that kind of thing, but early on I just wanted some of those parts to keep going). Now it all flows of a piece and I wouldn't want anything altered in any way. I don't know if slotting something into your desert island crate is such a great idea after a mere 6 months of play, but I feel like this would be good company were I left alone 'mong the fronds and the gritt.

The conversation is resurrected from the brink of devolving into a snipe festival!
DON'T BEREAVE THE HYPE!
I was (am?) certainly infected with type-1 hypechondria through those early/mid oughts. The odd thing re: the new/old release fissure is that a lot of the time I wouldn't even think of old records as such, 'cuz it was all new to me! So stupid was I.
I must admit that it was TermBo that made me pay a little more attention to the difference between what was going on right under my nose and what had come from decades past. Would not dare say that it made me more sophisticated, but I appreciate the kick it heaved pants-wards.

I'm not sure who regularly distros Blackest Ever Black in the US, but I know their releases are often available through Chemical Records in the UK, with VERY cheap shipping to the US and good prices despite the exchange.

I should be on the porch with a fresh cold one reading The Man With the Getaway Face right now, but I guess I'm sucked back to the keyboard now. Way too many tendrils of thought on the topic fighting for nourishing sun-space like the growth occupying the interstices of a forgotten shoebox-set of Bummer Road tour CD-Rs, but Davenport and their associated offshoots hold some dear half-memories for me. I was definitely a fringe figure among the fringe Madison scene they kind of keystoned, but being a local I really didn't know how much word of them traveled outside the city limits.
I was actually drafting a discarded post mentioning them a couple hours back, 'cuz what attracted me to this stuff in Madison to begin with was in part exactly how you describe it... a woolly honey mushroom filling the streets right under your feet with filaments to be followed to god knows where. But another part was how totally unconcerned these folks all seemed with hype. Not sure if that made the scene a purely social endeavor -- many of them seemed too legitimately weird to really be acting out of "social" motivations -- but they certainly didn't seem to care how many/few people they were performing for. Of course my friends and I that tagged along and nipped at their heels would get caught up chasing the releases they'd mention or the stuff we'd associate with them via Arthur reviews or distros or whatever, so we started creeping in our own hype chasing down different luxe reissues or whatever. But they seemed pretty impervious/indifferent.
Many of them are still going with assorted activities and continue to seem to operate without knowing/caring what kind of audience there will be. I try and check in when I can and hope they keep plugging away with their thing.
Wanna write more but have no coherent currency to offer so to the porch it is for now, thank yr lucky stars.

You're confusing guns with puukkos, my man. And you need that protection to get the pizza to the door without the household dogs gettin' at you (they're waiting in the car on blocks out front, which at least clears up the tetanus risk factor for you [yes, they're a carrier]).

I always intended to explore Samara Lubelski's cat(alog). Should I now?
Started back in '05
Started hearing that rural jive.
And Radiohead was doing it for me,
No More.
Continued smoking pot.
Thought things sounded better tossed-off.
Very tossed-off and on a CD-R.
Fake magick improvisation to sink this beardo's husk.
Father Yod ISB, undeniably cool.
Took a lesson from that acid folk school
Manipulate tunings, hack righteous drool.
Getting loose at the hacky sack store.
Cracking jokes like Thurston Moore.
Pedal-steel like a Susan A.
Free Folk genius, ride the culvert of the road.
Milk that cow, blow your load.
Soon its less thought out than you ever said you'd stock .
Two thumbs up from Jay Babcock.
Oh, its freak folk.
played in a marsh.
Just Gimme Free Folk!
It's gone big
C'mon Free Folk.
Just Gimme Free Folk.
Taking inspiration from Comus, too
It's a new generation of acoustic white boy blues
C'mon Free Folk.
It's gone big
C'mon Free Folk.
Just Gimme Free Folk.
Breaking down the barnyards,
like Virgin Insanity.
They got what they wanted.
Maybe I can get what I want too.
C'mon Free Folk.
It's gone big
C'mon Free Folk.
Just Gimme Free Folk.
Time to knolck,
The trad folk on it's side.
Time to knolck,
The shit right up a storm.
Turn to a maize,
With the folk drudge.
Hypnagogic!

I still listen to a fair amount of this stuff. Including an occasional MV+EE jawn. I'll dig some sections out and see if I'm willing to plunk down some poorly considered predictions.
