Mavis is going to kill it on that tune.

There is a lot of compression on the mix. That is the audio term for the tool, not necessarily what the word would imply in general. It doesn't always mean it sounds pinched, or totally distorted. More like there is less space between the notes, and less dynamics. It's consistently loud all of the time.

Colorado Denver An established close-knit grassroots community of artists, musicians, and business owners are thriving with new contributions and a growing economy. Cool museums, restaurants, tons of music, professional sports (every kind), great record stores. Our mass transit was lagging, but our light rail system has been growing faster than just about anywhere in the country. A distinctly Mexican twist in the local culture, with a generous helping of Vietnamese, Russian, Ethiopian, and all of the other exceptions to our Anglo-caucasain reputation. Boulder *or* Ft.

Indeed.

Lucero is a poor man's Uncle Tupelo. Mumford and Sons are a vanilla Flogging Molly is a younger man's Pogues. Sparta is a poor man's At the Drive In. Gaslight Anthem is a poor man's Kill Creek.

Not that it was the crux of the perfect argument on firearms- BUT, It seems almost everyone missed what I believe Biden was implying: a randomly fired shotgun will produce a horrifically loud noise and scare off intruders. I don't think marksmanship was the intended goal.

This is my favorite Low record since "The Great Destroyer". I like that they're having Mimi sing lead more. I love the way it sounds. Great, warm, lush sounds but minimal layers.

Talk about spending: It looks like while spending has more or less been even (not going up), it has been a lower % of the GDP, as the GDP has started to go up a bit.

Damn it.

The big news there: an Argentinian pope. Too bad he's another bigot.

If you always play music as a group, it usually makes the most sense to record it as a group. I usually make exceptions for finicky details that you want more choices on: guitar solos, vocal takes.

The obsession with Chinese owned U.S. debt is a weird use of true information with the exclusion of the context. There is a narrative that seems to obsess over China, but not acknowledge the rest of the facts. In short: about half of the U.S. debt is public, the rest is split between several countries. China has a larger chunk, but Germany's chunk is almost the same size. The rest is split between the U.K., Canada, Taiwan, Brazil, South Korea and about a dozen other countries/ oil exporters. In the end China owns about 8% of U.S. debt. Likewise, the Greece analogy doesn't work particul

Is that the only difference?

I don't know about BT, and AM, but Summerteeth was an overdub fest. Bennett even played some of the drums. A lot of the core takes from YHF had a live band thing going, but then overdubs got crazy, and I think a lot of the live stuff got thrown out. AGIB is almost 100% live, as is SBS. WTA had most of the rhythm guitar, keys, bass and drums done live (vocals, not sure) in New Zealand with Nels and Jorgensen's stuff being added later at the loft. I think TWL has a lot of live tracks at its core too, but some pretty free exploration in the overdub process. I think they have it figured out at

The irony there is that the private sector added jobs and the public sector lost them. I thought we were spending billions on a "nanny state".

Good news is inflation has been very slow in the last year.

So in other words, the economy is prospering due to government intervention. Yeah, that ..... sucks?

As per the larger conversation the debt was sparked by nonsensical foreign policy ambitions coupled with tax cuts. After the housing crisis they've been increased by 1) needed stimulus and 2) less revenue. As you decrease stimulus, and make cuts you pinch the economy. If the economy doesn't come back you don't get the revenue, no matter what you cut.

Or as some would say $3-4 trillion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_cost_of_the_Iraq_War

There is yet another procrastination in that the sequestration doesn't actually take effect immediately. They can wave this date (tomorrow) over our heads, but then let it pass and they still have a couple weeks to fix it before furloughs etc. actually take place. Don't get me wrong, the engineering of the whole situation is bullshit. A huge miscalculation by our commander in chief, and an even more contemptible failure of congress to be a functional entity. Nonetheless the dooms day scenario is neither immediate, nor final. They can and must fix this at anytime, even if it passes.

It's a totally different Waits, but his debut Closing Time is gorgeous. I always felt like Blood Money, and Alice don't get the love they deserve. They both have a good balance of the satanic carnie and the piano weeper. I could listen to 'Misery is the River of the World' and 'Coney Island Baby' from Blood Money every couple weeks for the rest of my life. Cool stuff. http://youtu.be/Jp-gX5C3vZI

I've seen them once... maybe 2010, they were touring on that "med sud" album with the guys running across a highway naked on the cover. That high energy material, and the "hits" from Takk, and (), were great. They did some pretty redundant noise jams from their back catalog that didn't really work for me, but well worth the ticket.

According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_carriers_by_country we have 10 in service, while they have 1. They are apparently planning on building 2 more since their defense budget has soared to roughly a fifth of our current defense budget.

But here's why that is some hawk bullshit: There is no evidence that they had nuclear anything. They're planes that could carry bombs of any variety. Already there is an escalated tone from two Russian bombers, to nuclear-armed bombers. See the difference there? Secondly they never left international airspace, they didn't do anything illegal. Our own military officials said that it wasn't provocative, but unusual. Do you really think the Russians are going to attack us? Seriously? Our air force has flown in cooperative anti-terrorism training operations with theirs several times ove
