Not Ed but we already passed 1984
Not Ed: like gas
Deputy Dang: India switched to a non-cash economy years ago. They have no bills bigger than what we'd use as $20. It's cut down a lot on white-collar crime.

DJTweeny: I have no idea how they are going to pay the bills
Deputy Dang: Y'all need to follow our example. Everything's open, more or less. Okay, not really, but nobody's checking if capacity levels are being checked. Some places require patrons to wear masks before entering; which is their right, as non-governmental entities.
Not Ed: Exactly Tween
DJTweeny: Sweden may yet make other governments look like fools
Deputy Dang: What do you mean, "may yet"?
DJTweeny: heh

Cease: good for you, dang
Deputy Dang: This is great radio.
Beet: Pooh is great reading.
Deputy Dang: Yes. To be honest, I've never heard a dramatic reading of it, and this is aweing me.
Deputy Dang: aweing? Is that a word?
DJTweeny: love the Winnie bit
Cease: i've been on chat almost every week since it started 25 years ago and the number of times i've shown up here unlit would be close to zero
DJTweeny: haha

DJTweeny: Quad speakers in the eves of The Capital Center
Cease: this is one of the best things i ever heard.
Cease: played it in the car when i got the cd and it was too beautiful to drive while listening to.
Not Ed: the remaster 10 years ago was good - they didn't really mess with the mix itself - but the recent redux sounds pushed and parts are brought up and out differently and slightly not tasteful (mixwise)
Not Ed: the original reel to eel tape release was the bestest
Not Ed: reel to eel lol

Cease: there has been a tech revolution in sound recording and playing in my life time
Beet: Cool wiki on the Leslie
DJTweeny: indeed
Not Ed: I carted a B# and Leslie around for a couple of years - sounded great (have to mic them) but too difficult to haul around safely
Not Ed: B3
DJTweeny: and never forget that Les Paul made multi-track recording
||||||||| Captain Equinox flies in through the transom, landing on the bearskin rug. "Attention, solstice squad! After working a 12-hour day, I like to kick back and swill some juice out of a genuine Firesign coffee mug or Bear Whiz Beer stein!"
Cease: great to have talented and creative people able to use it to our advantage

Not Ed: yeah in their house
Not Ed: wonderful
Cease: this is carl reiner talkling about benny

Beet: Have you heard these recordings by people taking 50's mono recordings and making them into stereo? They did that with one of Les Paul and Mary Ford's songs.
DJTweeny: mono into stereo with The Beatles was pretty horrible
DJTweeny: one of Les Paul's first forays into multi-tracking was a 6 stylus disc recorder

DJTweeny: using a Cadillac flywheel because it was so well balanced
DJTweeny: truly a pioneer
Not Ed: cool Tween
Not Ed: x2

Not Ed: late resp

DJTweeny: I did a bit on Les Paul a few years ago
DJTweeny: omg yes
Not Ed: I've told drummers who negarively criticize Ringo to try playing along with the the whole side 2 medley from beginning to end - it will challenge the best

Not Ed: Ringo was a fill in the cracks drummer
Not Ed: a composer's drummer
DJTweeny: Ringo is underestimated
Not Ed: wholly and utterly
DJTweeny: He wasn't Ginger Baker, he just knew when to play
