For all I know, Roberto Alomar's a helluva guy, but there was that one thing...

(Don't miss the Swedish Dance Bands thread...)

The aforementioned Gary Sheffield.

Imagine ... you're hanging around in the afterlife, drinking ambrosia, playing music and reveling, happy as a clam ... when all of a sudden you find yourself dressed in a white shirt and tie, toting a backpack and knocking on doors all over heaven. I know I'd be pissed.

Yeah, Windsor -- if anywhere. Wherever it is, apparently you can take the midnight train going anywhere.

There's been some chuckling about this over in this thread: http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=37637

The fate of the U.S. auto industry was sealed several decades ago when they made horrible decisions about healthcare and pensions. It was only a matter of time before their healthcare and retiree costs destroyed them; the current economic climate is merely hastening what was destined to happen eventually anyway. I'm not sure the current leadership at those companies can be blamed for the underlying problems -- though they haven't helped matters much, if at all.

Thanks to my late grandfather, along with all other veterans. Though he spent much of his time "in the rear with the gear," he saw his share of front-lines action in the European Theatre, and had many stories to tell, though you had to drag them out of him.

It's good(?) to know that the 1970s were horrible in other countries, too. link Here's a quick tease: There's a band called "Schytts." Please tell me it's not pronounced the way I think it is.

Yesterday I was trying to come up with a caption focusing on this. The best one I came up with was... Judging from this picture, Bush was predestined to veer to the right.

I like that one better than mine.

In this photo, the subjects are arranged in ascending order of their fitness to serve as President.

I have a copy of that. Good record. WXRT still plays the title track from time to time (or did, last time I was in Chicago).

Here's more about getting jobs with the new administration.

That would be a huge mistake. I guess it's appropriate that such fiscal tomfoolery would occur in Washington.

I'm guessing here, but I would think that a stereo mix would, by its nature, have various elements at different levels than in the mono mix. Because you can separate out the various instruments and voices when using stereo, someone mixing for stereo is likely to introduce variances between the volume levels of the tracks that did not appear in the mono mix. So when you merge the tracks back together into your own homebrew mono mix, it's not likely to sound the same as the official mono mix.
