Non-Music Shit / Joe Bodolai

« on: January 02, 2012, 02:52:39 PM »

This is fucking intense. Sixty-three year-old veteran comedy writer kills himself (w/ anti-freeze?? what!? not sure about that). Just stumbled upon this story.

Here's his last blog/suicide note/fuck you/last will and testament.

Music Shit / Jim Sullivan UFO

« on: January 02, 2012, 11:46:24 AM »

I've only heard the title track, but I just d/led the LP. Might not even dig it, but this story sure is fascinating. Maybe he's snuggling with the corpse of Gram Parsons?

I'm back in Berlin. Broke and hobbled but still lookin' for kicks. Any Termbro/ad-s got any reccos for things to do/places to see/people to meet? There's some good shows next week if I can scrape by for that long. Drop some science.

Non-Music Shit / skipping Technics

« on: October 10, 2011, 09:32:00 AM »

For the life of me I can't figure out why my turntable (1200) is skipping so bad. I've tried different needles, it seems level; I've fucked w/ the anti-skate and the height and weight of the arm; even taped a penny to the fucker. Different records, the whole deal. And it just keeps on skipping and getting stuck in grooves. It's driving me nuts.

Any suggestions?
