Fan video for Feindflug's "Ersatzteil" (spare part), some decent tank porn WW1 to modern, or as the first comment on it says:

"I don't know if I should feel proud of myself or just plain cry out of sheer nerdshame for knowing just about every tank that appears in this video."

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The Minsky Moment

Larry Young - Unity (1965)

First listen - don't know how I ever missed this. Larry Young plays Hammond organ, but not in the popular soul style of time like Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott and Big John Patton. More like in the style of Miles Davis' 60s era quartet.  Young would later play for Miles on Bitches Brew. Also here is legendary blower Joe Henderson on saxophone, and a young Woody Shaw on trumpet (Shaw was probably the most significant direct influence on Wynton Marsalis). What really makes this special is Elvin Jones, just coming off his long stint as Coltrane's drummer, and definitely in peak form.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Just got back from watching Blue Öyster Cult play two sets at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk - two hour long shows with only Burnin for You and Don't Fear the Reaper repeated.  Some old stuff - Before the Kiss a Redcap, Me 262, Last Days of May, E.T.I., The Red and the Black - really made my day.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Buck Dharma is a wee little mini guitar god, Eric Bloom looked suitable like a creepy old dude at a bus station.  It is nice there are two of them, in their 70s, still rocking and sounding really good - the other three members are listed as actual members, and they even get shout outs and played some really nice solos.

The Flying Stars of Brooklyn, NY - My God Has A Telephone
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Dunno why, but I've probably been listening to more GS lately than is healthy for any non-Texan.  :sleep:
