Nothing against jeff beck per se, but watching rock'n'rollers recruit
claissical musicians/orchestras for their I-IV-V chord extravaganzas (think
Grand Funk Railroad) is like taking Mona Lisa's, Systine Chapels, and
Picasso's, and using them for table mats in a fast food restaurant.
In a word, musical hubris...... goodgawd.....
This applies to the Beatles, as well.
If you want a musical thrill AND education, listen to Jacques Loussier
doing Vivaldi's Seasons.
Every person with a kid in music class/school/studying an instrument should
get this CD.
Loussier's Play Bach series was, of course, legendary, but a bit more
esoteric. The Vivaldi thing is more "understandable", surprisingly true to
the original.
Vivaldi:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3H-eybKbi4 starts at 0:30; not crazy
about the bossa nova improv, but OK
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-wQKNBvfpM Winter -- starts slow, but hang
in there.... 01:20 will knock you out.... catch the bass.... Note the
stunningly low 1,274 hits.... compare to the Jonas Bros... a true
commentary on our effingly useless bankrupt culture.
You can find a bunch of his Play Bach series, as well.
This is all, of course, waaaay of jb's head, but then so are spreadsheets
and manual contouring, and, or course, mastercam.

Ackshooly, I did! Some of that celtic stuff is really niced stuff.
BUTT....
I sort of bristle at the las vegas-type mega productions they turn all this
into -- Reminds me of the Yanni mega-productions -- which I think turns
effing music into a methamphetamine injection, which I don't think was god's
original intent for music, but then we (the cultural "we") tend to megafy
everygoddammthing.
At this point, about all's I can handle is one instrument at a time.....
cain't take the effing drama anymore.

Hey, if you don't understand the beauty of combining the best of two
musical styles, just say so. We'll 'splain 'em to ya. It's akin to
playing Mozart, Bach, or Beethoven music at an art gallery. Some
things just go together.
Those recordings, OTOH, sucked the big one. No tonal range at _all_!
Listen to those songs on the albums and you'll hear the
difference...if your stereo is hooked up to your computer like mine
is. ;) Jeff Beck, "Blow by Blow" song Freeway Jam. HOTNESS!
>>You can find a bunch of his Play Bach series, as well.

Thats why you download the various songs...there are freebies that allow
you to record all those songs so you can store them on your puter..and
simply enjoy them <G>.....and not worry about the bullshit that went on
behind the scenes.

Ive got about 17 gigs of music on my main computer drive and about
double that on the backup drive that everyone in the house shares.
I pick and choose, put into a play list and depending on my mood...play
a shitload of hours of whatever Im into at the moment. I have the same
on an old laptop out in the shop..so Im never without music.

What you don't understand is the difference between between true composition
(music) and mega-arranged mega-produced mega-amplified I-IV-V chords.
Take all that bullshit away from bullshit music and you are left with
bullshit.
Good composition can be whistled, and still be extraordinary.
You think that when you take a piss, that 18" shadow of your 3" dick is its
real size.
Oh, and Genius, PDQ Bach has nothing to do with Loussier's Play Bach series.

I called this after the first link he posted yesterday. Fresh batch of
meds + Unemployment = JB's own miniature Burning Man.
Yeah, he went quiet for a while, typical when he loses YET Another
job.
Too messed up to even post, and finally now he is on a fresh batch of
happy pills.
Actually, he didn't lose the job. He still may know where it is, but
there may be a court order preventing him from going there.
Since he gets shot down every time he tries to blabber about software
he is trying out his new fog induced career as a DJ. He just doesn't
know where to find an audience that didn't already know how to use
youtube.
Being the Energizer Dummy he just keeps going, and Going, and getting
crazier and crazier.
Like a poodle wearing a skirt and dancing on his back legs, he can't
even understand that everyone is laughing at him.
Whatever.
Let me know how the low temp. stuff works out.

Sounds like another photoshop job for Barn or Tom!!
he can't

===================================================
Funny, jb is not really stupid.
He does, however, lack spectacular amounts of knowledge (and math skills),
about which he is in obvious denial.
Which just supports the case for his being quite deranged.
Altho, I think UseNet and all this online chat stuff has ushered in a new
kind of split personality syndrome, where people's online behavior often
appears quite different from their real-life social interactions.
Which suggests that for some, web shit is sort of like a dream state, where
all kinds of subconscious bugaboos are being sorted out, in mostly
unproductive ways I would imagine, as no real resolution likely occurs.
Thus, the argerment that some are proly better off just
sleeping/dreaming/drinking, than fucking around on UseNet et al.
A few who have actually interacted with jb say that he almost appears normal
on the phone, altho his asskicking at Westec suggests that face-to-face he
can't quite hold it together.
BUT, he *did* keep that sweetheart Qualcomm gift for a number of years, so
there has to be at least some minimal functionality/socialization.
I think jb needs to formally studied. If he plays his cards right, he could
get paid while being a lab rat.
I could see several papers coming out of this: "Abnormal Brainwave
Patterns While Using/Faking MasterCam"
Etc.
--
EA
Partial truth there -- We all DO seem willing to dance, on command!!
But, the other truth remains, that jb fancies himself a puppeteer, and that
in itself is deranged.
He puppeteers because he can't really contribute.
That we respond to tugs on our strings is another issue.
Mebbe a bunch of us miss JHS as well, eh??

The real truth is more accurately described as a wino constantly
wanders into a restaurant and pisses into the salad bar.
After a while the patrons will rise up and try to drive the idiot out
of the restaurant.
BD totally worships the sick, disgusting wino.
LOL
It's likely that they didn't want to spend the $100.00 per pound this sort
of material costs.

Jon was just outed and banned again two or three weeks ago, and he's
certainly still there lurking in the darkness like Gollum.
Meanwhile, he's still desperately pretending to be me. Which certainly
display 100% ownership if there ever was such a thing. He also started
calling people's service providers threatening lawsuits. Again, full,
100% ownership to the level that Jon decided to take it to real life.
===================================================
Really?
Whose? People on amc? On what basis?
Talk about chutzpuh!
Chutzpuh:
After Menendez-ing yer parents, asking the judge for leniency cuz
yer an orphan.
BD does have a minor point, but rather than ownership, I'd say jb just
stimulates the JHS nerve, or some shit like that.
Plus, another analogy... It's one thing for an asshole to walk up to
you/your wife and grab her ass and then run away. Most of proly wouldn't
chase him down.
It's another to have someone grab her ass and then just stand there.....
jb is the latter.
Altho "wino" was fine, too, but a panhandling wino who just won't go away,
so you can't quite ignore him.
Oh, the joe788 thing -- notice that jb doesn't put his name anywhere on his
posts anymore, apropos of lambasting anyone who did same previously.
Except in jb's case, instead of anonymity or privacy, he's just acting like
the skulking deranged criminal he really is.

You only have to close in on screwing up a $2,500.00 core once to be

That is pretty much correct - except that there is no restaurant, no
wino, no salad bar, no pissing. What really exists is just a small
number of fools hallucinating that their salad is getting pissed on.

He's much nicer online I gather.

Sad.
But that's his "free speach" for us, is it not?
Nobody even ever made a death threat AFAIK.
Other than gummer & his klan of wingers.
And perhaps jb via emailed threats .. ?

Criticizing someone for reacting to jb is like criticizing a parent for
slapping their brat.
jb is simply an aesthetic violation, and ergo offensive.
People react. Some over-react. No biggie.
Think of it, tho:
Someone who can't manually contour or use a spreadsheet proclaims
themselves to be an industry sage in cadcam.... beyond a hoot.

Try telling that to wingers & jb (who, as he posts from Google,
you never read anyway, per you).
BTW, He says he always posts under his own name too, right?
