PrintYou crazy kids posted 402 times in a 3-game Monday night loser thread. Granted, 300 of those posts were mine, but still. What a bunch of loo-hoo-hoooo-serrrs.
Just kidding. Don't leave!
Last night's games turned out to be pretty exciting, especially the Bucks and Mavericks contest. What's on tap tonight? Find oot (that's my Canadian imitation) after the jump.
Golden State at Cleveland
OKC at Miami
Indiana at New Jersey
L.A. Clips at New Orleans
Phoenix at Houston
Toronto at Denver
Chicago at Sacramento
Detroit at L.A. Lakers
Some intriguing match-ups. Can the Rockets beat Phoenix? Can anyone?
Fab posted this on his Twitter today. It's charming--it made me happy.
Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.
The story behind the video:
Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn't the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.
I sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who I Googled on the internet. He told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the very same newspaper.
Here I've posted a short video made with the photo, the music and the score (composed by the birds).
Here's an interview with the composer about making the video.

Lauri, that’s a great video. I really love the idea of the birds composing the music. In a similar vein, I just saw a percussion group (So Percussion). They’re four drummers and they often use rhythm to create melody. Kind Steve Reich-y. They were talking about their system of notation and it was just wild — the piece was about US cities and so the notation was something like… Cleveland, Cleveland, Orlando, Billings. That simple sequence made up more than 20 minutes of music. Pretty cool, I thought.

Rumor has it that Monta llis is on his way out the door for GS. And, the world wouldnt be right if, AGAIN, ESPN asks in the Rumors section if Jackson could be traded again? He’s eligible after Jan. 16th. This never ends.

Oh, I agree. But how is that not Kobe being himself?

I’m not sure, he seems more human now in some way, maybe it will be more obvious as the season goes on

Ok, you have me there. If he’s seeming any kind of human he clearly isn’t himself.

Like against Houston the other day, just the way he was getting totally owned down the stretch, that just didn’t seem like Kobe at all

you don’t think that would’ve been expected if he was being guarded by Battier and Ariza?

How often does the team with the best record/highest seed go on to win the title?
For that matter, how often does the team with the third seed or lower go on to win the title?
I suppose I could look it up.

Actually, it’d be better to check whether RS record or point differential correlate better the postseason success, but I imagine that’s the case.

Like the Lakers, this top team has lost two in a row, but KG is "resting" until the playoffs. He’s playing only 30 minutes per game compared to a career average of 38 so that he’s healthier and less likely to break down late in the year.
If the he’s resting what are our big three doing? Taking a vacation?

I wonder whatever happened to raynorscheine. I think that was the guy in the band that was around here a lot. Might have been somebody else.

I wouldn’t know. But unfortunately the singer for Dream Theater doesn’t quite sound that good anymore since he ruptured his vocal chords during that tour
AKA: Linix129
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.
I have a feeling the sound on this video isn’t the best. It’s not bad, but it seems pretty on the high side.

Well it’s from 1994 but it’s the best version of that song on Youtube that I could find. The snare drum sounds fantastic though

I’m not a big fan of the keyboard sound in metal.
Other than that, I think I’d really like it if the mix was a bit better.

Download the studio version, pretty much everything on it sounds better than that version. It’s on the album “Awake”

Will do.

Apropos of nothing, does anyone else thinks it sounds like the dialogue in “Avatar” is going to suck?
Hilariously maladjusted. But for all the right reasons.

I think it’s going to be up there with Battlefield Earth for Razzies wins.

See, and I totally would give it a chance. I just don’t want it to be painful to sit through. I’m going to go see Ninja Assassin, for example—I know it’s going to be terrible, but it knows what it is, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to get exactly what I expect from it. But Avatar…man.

It could end up being MST3K worthy, in which case, it’d be worth the money. I love bad movies, as long as I know it’s going to be bad and they’re enjoyable. I will never forgive my friend who convinced me that Battlefield Earth would be in the “fun” bad category. It was execrable.

to me, the best movie that “knows what is it” is Crank 2, one of the best “we don’t give a f*ck” movies ever.
