I really doubt 'everything' will run faster vs an internal drive except in some unique cases like running out of free space on the internal drive or some older g4 ibooks have such a bad frontside bus speeds that an external hard drive connected via usb2 or firewire actually transfers data faster than using the build in drive. Since you're on a laptop this setup should be good since your internal vs external differences aren't going to be noticable. Also, the comments that mention firewire a better option because it's directly connected to the sound device instead the computer are incorrect, th

Hey, this is how i make sauce more or less. I end up freezing most of it tho and using it for a few weeks, it's great, pretty simple too. the short version of this recipie is meat in pot, brown add a bunch of tomato puree and sauce, simmer for a few hours.

I got this reaction from some friends too, the only explanation I can think of is pretensious and is a theory on story telling in general. Basically a film serves the same social purpose as that of a storyteller. Historically people used stories to explain their context in the world and to reinforce the idea of god, that in the context of the story the story teller is god, someone who knows how it's going to turn out and while the world at large seems chaoitic and random that we hope, like we hope the story, has a point. When a story or film ends ambigiously without handholding or that payo

Looking to get d-man his first guitar
dannygutters replied to Sweet Papa Crimbo's topic in Someone Else's Song
Yeah that place is awful, If you're looking for a guitar to start on and are in CHICAGO go to N. Ave Guitars on North ave or the Old Town School of Folk Music guitar shop on lincoln and wilson. These are much much much nicer and less pressure places. -

I've been very impressed with these, they are priced nicely and sound good. -
I would compare Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian to a selection from Ann M. Martin's Baby Sitters Club series. Both deal in universal truths made more horrifying through the lense of a black and white empathic indifference to the suffering of others.

Yes it was a great show, I thought Jeff really worked the room well, I was way up in the balcony, and his little things like, coming out to the foot of the stage and playing without the pa really seemed to shrink the room in a way the other performers didn't do. I really think his setlist was a good selection for the event, and good job to the ensemble people that was really a class move of jeff. Frank Hamilton is the nicest guy, he did a couple workshops at old town last week that were a lot of fun. He's really been teaching for over 50 years. He was twenty something when the school opened

So I'm moving to Chicago....I need help.

I think the best value in chicago neighborhoods is Logan square, me and my roomate pay 550 a month for a 2 bdroom that's pretty big and it's a nice neighborhood, but really your first neighborhood is kind of a crap shoot, you'll figure out where you want to be pretty quick. Tho some of the cheap/big ones are if you have no idea of the city, all these are easily train accessible to columbia, listed based on distance from columbia, and only the ones I've lived in or spent a lot of time in: South Loop - Pros: near Columbia, can be affordable, always developing Cons: my buddy -

well, woody for one. "I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work." the intent of the song wasn't my question tho. If you look at the manuscript for the song (i think there is a link to it on the wikipedia page) you can see the verses are present in a song called "God Blessed America". Woody didn't record this song until 5 years later, at that time it was given the "This Land" title and the verses aren't present (on the Asche recordings) tho they are in subsequent recordings and sheet music. MY question is, Was there actually an effort to censor this so

I haven't heard anything about Howie's choice to choose one arrangement over another. I'd like to see it if anyone knows, but everything I've heard is speculation. I mean I can see why it's propagated, censorship is a more attractive myth than woody's randomness. Besides, woody wrote songs to make you take pride in yourself not make you "batshit enraged".
-
I've never bought this story. Woody was never one for not embellishing or recording / writing a song the same way twice. Moe Asche was pretty much the only person recording Woody, And it's unlikely to me that Moe would have censored him, on the Asche recordings you can hear several versions of the song and some have the verses some do not. Maybe they told him not to play it on some of the radio shows he was on but he never stayed those jobs long enough to face any cordinated censorship. Tho it is true that the version we are most farmilliar with does not contain the verses, this is probably du
