So, I could've taken more time to think of a better title to this post, but I was too busy rocking my tits off to this free record:

What Do You Mean, What Do I Mean?

So, modern rocketry can attribute its beginnings to black magick.  So can Led Zeppelin.  Oh the irony of it all. 

Bottom line - Jack Parsons has a crater on the dark side of the moon named after him.  Take a look and then go read up on this guy at your local Wikipedia store....

What exactly is yerba mate?  It's the life source.  Yeah.  It's better than coffee.  Better for you at least. 

Wait. 

I have no idea what yerba mate is, yet I drink it on a regular basis.  What IS THIS STUFF?

Well, I've found a reliable source to explain it to me, and thusly, to you as well.

Happy trails,

Check out the IBM 704 Mainframe kick out the jams live from Bell Labs in 1961.  You may remember Hal 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey channeling this performance as he was "involuntarily disconnected"....

 

See what you think about this --

A lot of reputable blues dorks are now saying that we've been listening to Robert Johnson's recordings 20 percent too fast. Pretty convincing, mostly. Either way, it makes me want play around with master speeds of some mixes. (it's rumored that a lot of Elton John's vocals were cut to a slower version of the song and then sped back up to achieve that werid and creepy high thing that he has on much of the Yellow Brick Road album.) Either way... a new way to hear a master at work. I'm almost convinced, but I miss his weird and creepy high demon voice.

Here is a pretty good article on it, but mainly just scroll down to the bottom to listen to the wav files.
