A very Slothful Halloween

slothdog — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:31:36 +0000

Oh, look, it’s Halloween again. Tune in today for a very, er, unique playlist of spooky, strange, and/or weird stuff. Come back tomorrow if that’s not your thing. (And, no, we won’t be switching to Christmas music, at least not that early.)

New, from the makers of bacon salt, it’s baconnaise. Yum!

(This is most likely the closest I’ll get to a political and/or halloween post this year.)

Happy Friday. Enjoy some dancing.

Fiddle

It is an old maxim and a very sound one, that he that dances should always pay the fiddler. Now, sir, in the present case, if any gentlemen, whose money is a burden to them, choose to lead off a dance, I am decidedly opposed to the people’s money being used to pay the fiddler…all this to settle a question in which the people have no interest, and about which they care nothing. These capitalists generally act harmoniously, and in concert, to fleece the people, and now, that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people’s money to settle the quarrel.

David Gilmour “A Great Day For Freedom” - Free live mp3 and video

slothdog — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:15:07 +0000

To mark the release of his new Live In Gdansk live performance on CD and DVD, David Gilmour has put up a free MP3 of “A Great Day For Freedom”, along with a PDF package containing a video, slideshow, and lyrics. (Requires a download of Adobe Reader 9 but well worth it.)

Also here’s a muchly condensed live version of “Comfortably Numb”. (The version on the CD/DVD is a full 9:22 with that magnificent ending guitar solo.)

U2 “Twilight”

Happy Wednesday. Enjoy a video of U2’s “Twilight” from the forthcoming remastered edition of Under a Blood Red Sky. Love that 80s hair.

Today only, you can pick up the classic Led Zeppelin IV album from Amazon MP3 for $1.99. Great stuff; if you don’t own this already, you should.

In appreciation of Pink Floyd’s “Echoes”

slothdog — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 03:15:33 +0000

Highly recommended: Pink Floyd’s “Echoes” goes very well with the new iTunes visualizer (View->Show Visualizer). Trust me.

Apparently it also goes very well with the ending sequence of 2001. Spiffy.

Keeping Up

Most men appear never to have considered what a house is, and are actually though needlessly poor all their lives because they think that they must have such a one as their neighbors have. As if one were to wear any sort of coat which the tailor might cut out for him, or, gradually leaving off palm-leaf hat or cap of woodchuck skin, complain of hard times because he could not afford to buy him a crown! It is possible to invent a house still more convenient and luxurious than we have, which yet all would admit that man could not afford to pay for. Shall we always study to obtain more of these things, and not sometimes to be content with less?

– Henry David Thoreau, Walden (1854)

Guess some things never change.
