Towards something more seasonal.
It took:
30000 plus lights
130 extension cords
Over 8000 feet of control cable
Programming time: don't ask.
Most of the neighborhood used LED lights this year, so they are using 1/10th of the power as last year.
What do you get when you mix a Christmas Light show with Guitar Hero? Christmas Light Hero!
Song is "Cliffs of Dover" by the incredible Eric Johnson.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Woman like long neck bottles
And a big head on her beer
I don't like to talk about my women
But I hold that woman dear
Well, one night she go to drinking
Got out and shot up the town
I'll be damned if she didn't
Bring an airplane down
In the spirit of Country Girl...
Sorry - I dunno how to do all that clever linking stuff - anyone want to tell me in a PM, I would be most grateful!
iTunes crashed one too many times. I uninstalled the bugger - someone had suggested it could be a corrupt dll file - so I deleted every single thing on my external drive, and reinstalled iTunes. This is the last time, though. I will just have to find something else to play music with, if it once more loses all my data.
Still, having no ratings any more, and playing stuff at random, does remind me that I have some good music on that there drive.
I hate this record. I hate The Smiths. But I still have fond memories of it. .LSD is involved, and some pretty rampant sex. And being young and at Glastonbury. All of which can colour one's perception of a tune.
So, how was your Monday?
Besides, a little Joni is always welcome!
They know what is what,
But they don't know what is what,
They just strut.
What the fuck?
They just know,
What they know,
What they don't know,
What is what.
But with a very good beat. Honest. And that's what counts.
Happy Sunday, too.
Lovely weather here. No rain.

Rules:
a) Go to your Itunes music library
b) Turn your shuffle on
c) list the first line of the first 20 songs
d) See if any in your 'hood can identify the artist and song, without Googling them
Answers in the comments box, and please - do this yourself - I tell you, it is a good way to listen to stuff you might not have heard for quite a while!
Now, as promised, With Added Music!
And, finally, with answers.
I cheated a bit - I mean, if a song is called Flaunt it, and the mix that comes up just has the words Flaunt it, I suspect you would guess! And I didn't bother saying how many spoken word or instrumentals came up, either, cos I could not make the list work if I did that.
When I was 8, I first read "Who Goes There" by John W Campbell. It was my introduction to Science Fiction and helped make me the nerdy geek I can so easily be.
When John Carpenter made "The Thing" in 1982, it became one of my all-time favourite movies.
Now, via Gorilla Mask, comes this neat, well done pastiche, featuring the music of Zombie Zombie (Driving This Road Unto Death).
Now, back story given, sit back and enjoy a chunk of awesomeness.
