this event (it's worthy to be called more than just a simple album), beats hands down anything that vangelis has ever released.

now i'm jealous, i want to put out an album soon too.

let's get sensible should be a funk hit on the mainstream FM radio stations.

I didn't end up going with the full payola package so we'll have to settle for worldwide Internet distribution -- but I think we'll do just fine!

Thank you!

I signed up for last.fm a long time ago but I have not yet used it. I'm not entirely sure how it works.

One time my brother and my dad took me to a first-rate
steak house on my birthday. My dad also had a book to
give me from him and my mom (I think she picked it out).
It was Winston Churchill's /History of the English-Speaking
Peoples/' or somesuch. It was a good book. Mom asked
to borrow it when I was done reading it. I read it
thoroughly and delivered (probably a few months later).

That's the last I saw of that book. I wish I still had
it, but I didn't ask for it back and the subject never
came up again.

So back to the steak house -- my brother and my dad were
in business together (decorative hardware; lock installation
and locksmithing, generally -- the locksmith business was
an outgrowth of the hardware store idea, and at some
point they dropped all the nuts and bolts end of the
business and focused on high-end decorative hardware).

Very soon they were caught up in a conversation over three
very nicely cooked steak dinners. Although I registered
a tinge of 'left out' quite frankly I enjoyed my steak,
and had the book with me (just to hold) and was content
nobody was asking me to function further than to just
enjoy the environment, plus I don't think I ever really
saw such a nice conversation between the two of them
in the full form -- we three of us were rarely in the
same room at the same time with no fourth wheels around
to interject. So I got a good sampling of what they
the two of them were like when relaxed and happy in
each other's company.

I'm usually quite comfortable in the company of just
my brother (I have other brothers but generally there's
a default brother I'm always speaking of; he lives here
in town and is why I moved here). While I have been,
on occasion, comfortable in the company of my father,
that wasn't frequent during the period described.

This is my idea of a birthday present.

Thank you Chris; I think you know this is just about the best present I could get. As they used to say during the war, keep calm and carry on.

Thanks for the link!  You assumed correctly that I would need it, as I really don’t read other people’s journals any more, for the very reason that it’s going to take me five years to download this (starting now).

Coincidentally, my birthday actually is coming up soon.  I was about to respond saying you’re off by a few days!

Ooh! I hope the package I sent arrives before your birthday!

It's your birthday? Well then, happy birthday! I will download this during the weekend when I have some time to listen through it all. :)

Thanks!

my ears detect a reverse proportionality in length to greatness here.
i also very much enjoyed the more or less recent "goku" tracks, some of which escaped me for a while with archive.org apparently reluctant to let me download right away at times.
TO BE will sit tight on my playlist while i work away on a catastrophic book (content-wise, maybe otherwise, too), and vaguely think when will i get to finish the beginning of some potentially mighty important other something you know of ... but i'm slowly raising out of a fog, i like to believe ...

There has to be some sweet spot between magnum opus and thirty-second advert. I raided GOKU for some of this. I hope it doesn't mind... Archive.org is often really slow for me here at home but FLIES on my connection at work.

I am looking forward very much to seeing any pages you come up with. Best birthday surprise ever!

I don't usually go in for retro but I guess it's kind of too late to beg off now.

True story:

Morris Day wrote the song "Party Up," and let Prince credit it to himself in exchange for setting him up with The Time.

Another true story:

You can hear Prince's vocals in many of The Time's songs.
