2long - We have the marine layer here too. It's funny. My boys (20 and 23) had never seen real stars until we went camping up in the mountains several years ago. They were amazed. Hi believer! If I had a "cloud filter" I'd get my scope out anyway! And speaking of telescopes and OMD, here's an appropriate song! I remember when I got the LP (Vinyl!). I had a set of used Advent speakers (most amazing, I still recall), and we used 2 2rn the volume up and rattle the windows with this song! Most amazingly LOW, just barely audible I believe, base notes alive! Orchestral Manouvers in the Dark, "Romance of the Telescope" " See these arms that were broken, how they held you so. Never once did they fail you, they won't let you go. We're just waiting looking skyward as the days come down. Someone promised there'd be answers, if we stayed around. Over decades, now this romance has sustained us all. Never questioned, only giving what it made us for." I love you guys! -ol' 2long

2long, good god, the jets must have got clogged from all the hair gel in that tub.
Metrosexual, Binder? Now I've been called lots of things, but... If you're referring to the tasteful decoration of my house... I had nothing to do with it.
Here's one for 2long. Woody Guthrie, popularized by Billy Bragg and Wilco.
I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of california stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of california stars
I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of california stars
I’d like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of california stars
Jump up from my starbed and make another day
Underneath my california stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
So I’d give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of california stars

Hey Binder:
How 'bout Vancouver?
One of my all-time favorite bands from the late 60's is from there. "The Collectors." Changed their name to "Chilliwack" around 1972, when I lost track of them.
I remember they had a song that was LONGER than "Inna Godda Davida" by about 3 minutes! Very cool, 2. I've quoted parts of it my sigline over the years! (gadz, it's been YEARS!). Called "What Love Suite."

And 2 show you I still listen 2 "new" stuff, here's one by the Chemical Brothers (with this amazingly sexy, beautiful female vocalist):
The Chemical Brothers, "Asleep from Day"
I know just what your mama said
Always misunderstood
Gotta tell you something
I saw it in your eyes
I think I left your back seat
And now it's always good
I fell asleep from day
And all the promises
There's a lot of people
That let their will to say
I've got a lot of friends
And they've got beautiful eyes
That make my heart feel surprised
And you notice it
And that's the truth
That's the truth
Have me to you
I shine along underneath your view
I'll be the one
To let you know when you've come undone
I like the stars in the sky
And watch the moonlight go by
I've got a lot of friends

I had a set of used Advent speakers (most amazing, I still recall), Wanna buy mine? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I reconed the woofers and replaced both tweeters with good originals (orange cone) pulled out of somebody else's advents. ... couldn't bear to throw them away. -AD

Sure, 2long. Just so Binder doesn't hear. He thinks I'm a metrosexual.
Okay, that's it. I'm done. I don't wanna see 1:00 tonight. I'm crawling into my tent. Later dudes,

Chilliwack had a lot of airplay up here in the 70's as I recall. We have a "Canadian content rule" here where a percentage (now 35%) of all music on the radio must be Canadian. So we heard a lot of Chilliwack back then....and The Guess Who and whatnot.
Anyways guys....5:30 is only 6 hours away....I need sleep....don't throw your empties in the fire. G'nite.

AD:
Mine needed the rubber around the rims replaced, as it was all dry-rotted and falling off.
Of course, the fire solved that little problem. I found what was left of them in the pile of debris that the firemen tossed out on the ground in the back yard - mixed in with stuff like broken Macintosh Plus monitor glass and stuff like that.
It's over.

That's sad, 2Long. But really, you can buy mine. If you pay the shipping, I'll sell 'em cheap. (just what you need, ugly pseudo-walnut boxes)

Hey, I've wondered when AD would come by.
JLS, GQ said women would really go for these undies. Metrosexuals read GQ, right?
Night.
