I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

They have some of that vibe going for them. I eagerly recommend their first two albums if you haven't heard them yet, these being Down Colorful Hill and Red House Painters (aka "Rollercoaster"). They took a bit of a Neil Young turn in their later releases too, so if you're into his work you might enjoy the likes of Ocean Beach and Songs for a Blue Guitar quite a bit too!

something local, warning do not watch more videos from them, some might be disturbing:

 

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Can't believe the Blur album is twenty years old.

Another band that kind of went meh after a member died, damn drunk drivers.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”
 
-Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>>
Quote

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

Learning this piece on piano is among my goals at the moment. I can play Iron Man though so I'm getting pretty close...

That's a great one. I'd love to learn this:

 

 

Used to know "Gnossienne" at some point, as well as a couple of "Gymnopedies". Love me some Satie.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

just one o' those days

 

 

am not actual a monty python fan, but every once in awhile, a skit or song just kinda sums it all up for us.

 

HA! Good Fun!
