cmaloneylmorchard: You have opened the floodgates.02:57
cmaloneylmorchard: Prog metal is one of my favorite genres02:58
lmorchardHeh, I figured I might02:58
cmaloneyJust added some more to the G+ post.02:58
lmorchardRealized I was in a rut on like just 2 albums from 2 bands & needed to expand02:59
cmaloneyYeah, I've been there. Usually lasts a week. ;)02:59
lmorchardI think I listened to just 2 dream theater albums on repeat when I wrote my last book03:00
cmaloneyWhat's your opinion of the more metal trappings? (growl vocals, mega fast tempos, heavy distortion)?03:00
lmorchardLately for some reason I've been stuck on just one Mastodon album as my "get down to business" playlist03:00
cmaloneyAh, now I have something to work with. :)03:01
cmaloneyWhich album?03:01
lmorchardCrack the Skye03:01
cmaloneyhttp://depthsnc.bandcamp.com/album/pizza-party-ep03:01
lmorchardI can kind of go back & forth... I was on a Kansas trip like all last summer, but I can appreciate a lot of metal03:01
cmaloneyDid you pick up "The Hunter" from Mastodon?03:02
lmorchardHmm, been meaning to check that one out03:02
cmaloneyBlood Mountain and Crack The Skye are like Mastodon's "Master of Puppets / Ride the Lightning"03:03
cmaloneyThe Hunter is their And Justice for All03:03
cmaloneySolid album03:03
cmaloneyOpinions n Yes?03:04
lmorchardYeah, I'm a big Yes fan03:04
cmaloneyFly from Here is a solid effort03:04
lmorchardI'm a little so-so on the very newest stuff since Union, but haven't checked out Fly from Here yet03:05
cmaloneyI'm not a huge yes fan03:05
cmaloneyJon ANderson was a take it / leave it part for a while03:05
lmorchardThis Pizza Party EP sounds like something I can get down with03:06
lmorchardLooks like I got some playlists to load up for tomorrow :D03:06

cmaloneyThe Ocean: Pelagial is my album of 2013.03:10
cmaloneyPlayed the fuck out of that album for a few weeks03:10
cmaloneyThere's two discs: w/ Vocals and Instrumental03:10
cmaloneyI actually prefer the vocals which is rare for me.03:11
lmorchardHeh, I forgot youtube lifted that old 10min limit on videos03:12
cmaloneyYeah, it's nice to be able to preview an album without plunking down cash03:12
cmaloneyhttps://bandcamp.com/craigmaloney03:13
lmorchardI've also been listening to a lot of Spotify, but still spring for albums occasionally03:13
cmaloneynot all of these are prog, but some of them03:13
cmaloneyare03:13
lmorchardHeh, I see I've found a nicely sized iceberg here03:14
cmaloneyOh yeah03:14
cmaloneyhttps://earache.bandcamp.com/album/outer-isolation03:15
cmaloneyif you can get over the guy's screaming vocals (took me a bit) this one is really rewarding03:15
cmaloneythrash with technical death elements.03:15
lmorchardHeh, Tetrastructural Minds starts off like I just hit the boss level03:16
cmaloneyYou have.03:17
lmorchardAnd I'm saying heh a lot03:17
cmaloneyBut yeah it took me a little bit to get over the vocals03:18
lmorchardHmm, yeah, I could see that... might have to be in more angsty mood to really get into that03:20
cmaloneyIt grows on you. It's a little jarring right out of the gate03:20
cmaloneybut it's one of my more listened to albums03:20
cmaloneyhttps://semanticsaturation.bandcamp.com/album/solipsistic03:21
lmorchardI also used to listen to a lot of self-indulgent goth music, so  it's not totally out there03:21
cmaloneyThis one is one of those prog instrumental albums with Derek Sherinian / Virgil Donati03:22
cmaloneySounds a lot like Planet X to me03:22
cmaloneyhttps://toundra.bandcamp.com/album/iii03:25
cmaloneyHaven't picked this one up yet03:25
lmorchardI see I'll have to spend some time on bandcamp too03:25
cmaloneyyeah, bandcamp is amazing03:25
cmaloneyI think the post rock tag will keep you busy for a year.03:26
cmaloneyhttps://krimh.bandcamp.com/album/explore-203:27
cmaloneyhttps://metropolisrecords.bandcamp.com/album/weapon03:28
cmaloney*cough*03:28
lmorchardYeah, this is all good stuff, thanks for throwing it my way :)03:28
cmaloneynp. More than happy to share.03:28
cmaloneyIf there's anything you want to check out feel free to ping me.03:29
lmorchardOh yeah, I think I bought that Skinny Puppy album, but haven't queued it up again since it came out03:29
cmaloneylmorchard: It's fucking brilliant03:30
lmorchardHave you heard any of the Ohgr stuff?03:30
cmaloneyI'm finding I prefer listening to the newer stuff03:30
cmaloneyNo, sadly I haven't picked any up03:30
cmaloneyNot sure what my problem is, other than I don't think his stuff gets the distribution03:31
lmorchardOhgr's a lot like this new Skinny Puppy03:31
lmorchardMaybe even a bit more poppy, oddly enough03:31
cmaloneyYeah, that's what I've heard.03:31
cmaloneyFuck, there's a new FLA album03:31
cmaloneyI can't keep up03:31
lmorchardHeh03:32
lmorchardYeah, just when I thought all those bands were done, they get more work done03:32
cmaloneyI think that's why I've graviated away from industrial: there's a new album every year.03:32
cmaloneyI'm glad Ministry is calling it a day.03:32
lmorchardYeah, I lost track of Ministry probably like 10 years ago03:33
cmaloneyEver since Filth Pig I lost interest.03:33
cmaloneyAnd everything since sounded like Psalm 69 revved up03:34
lmorchardI will say that they did a cover of What A Wonderful World that hurt my brain, but yeah pretty much variations on Psalm 6903:34
cmaloneyI liked the covers album03:34
cmaloneyat least it wasn't bitching about Bush03:35
lmorchardWow, crimony they have a lot of albums I never noticed03:36
cmaloneyMinistry or FLA?03:36
lmorchardMinistry.. yeah I think I checked out around Filth Pig too03:36
lmorchardBut FLA too03:36
cmaloneyFLA has been pretty consistently awesome when they're not fulfilling a contract.03:36
cmaloneyMonument was a corporate album03:36
lmorchardLast FLA album I actually bought was Civilization03:37
cmaloneyeverything since has been pretty solid.03:37
lmorchardlike in 200403:37
lmorchardThough I think I got Airmech too, but didn't realize it was FLA since it's also the sound track to a pretty neat game03:37
cmaloneyhah03:37
cmaloneyArtificial Soldier is quite good03:38
cmaloneyIED is pretty good as well03:38
cmaloneyhttps://plus.google.com/u/0/+AndrewChason/posts/Cbk4bukZ9CC03:39
lmorchardThis should be good03:48
cmaloneylmorchard: Also congrats on finding Spock's Beard. They're an amazing band.04:03
cmaloneyone of my favorites04:03
jrwren+1 on Skinny Puppy and Ogre04:04
cmaloneyI lucked into them on some mailing list04:04
cmaloney(I think Dream Theater related)04:04
cmaloneyand by the kindness of strangers someone sent me their first few albums04:04
lmorchardYeah, I think I just randomly threw something at google like "give me another band like dream theater" and Spock's Beard came up04:05
cmaloneylmorchard: Familiar with King's X?04:05
lmorchardI'm somewhat amazed lately by Google returning useful stuff when I just vomit things into the search box04:05
lmorchardI want to say I listened to some of their stuff in the 90s04:06
lmorchardOh probably the 80s, since I just peeked at wikipedia04:06
cmaloneyyeah, that was their key-day.04:06
cmaloneyhey-day.04:06
lmorchardand embarassingly enough in relation to Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey04:07
cmaloneygretchen goes to nebraska was 198904:07
cmaloneyTo me they're what Kansas would have been had Jimi Hendrix fronted them.04:07
lmorchardHuh, that's an interesting idea04:08
cmaloneyand had they been a power-trio04:08

cmaloneyGood morning13:36
rick_h_morning13:36
brouschmorn14:00
brouschrick_h_: You still here? I thought you left14:00
rick_h_brousch: car arrives in an hour14:00
rick_h_hopefully, never taken a metro car to the airport before14:00
brouschThat's right. Flee before the snow storm. You can't handle the snow!14:01
rick_h_oh yea...scared me14:01
rick_h_spend $$ on snow blower than leave so I don't have to use it14:02
rick_h_nothing worse than getting a new toy you can't use14:02
brouschSpeaking of toys, my profit sharing bonus came in, so I'm ordering a N10 and wireless charger for my wife14:04
brouschI'll probably give my N7 to my son, sell the weak tablets, and get an N10 for myself14:04
cmaloneybrousch: nice!14:10
cmaloneyHope they net something14:10
brouschThey will: HP touchpad is still beloved by many, and Transformer Infinity is still worth something14:11
cmaloneybrousch: You looking at the "Buy It Now" prices on Ebay?14:12
brouschI'll keep the Nook Color with CM as an Android 2.3 test device14:12
brouschcmaloney: Hah, no14:12
ColonelPanic001cmaloney: good game, btw.16:02
ColonelPanic001that was fun. Much better on mobile, the notifications made all the difference16:02
brouschGo?16:03
cmaloneyColonelPanic001: Actually I think you might have won that one17:13
cmaloneywasn't sure about that one stone17:13
cmaloneybrousch: Yeah.17:13
cmaloneyWe've been doing a play-by-post game on the Dragon Go Server17:13
cmaloneyColonelPanic001: I have another game invite for you if you're interested.17:14
cmaloneyI have a hard time determining what is considered a dead stone17:14
cmaloneyand I wish the computer was better at picking those out17:14
cmaloneyColonelPanic001: And yeah, it was a good game. Thank you for the chance to play against a real human17:15
cmaloneyI won one game against GNUGo with the highest handicap I could get. It was rather surreal17:16
cmaloneyIt just started passing after I made a pretty major capture17:16
rick_h_brousch: wireless charger for it? That's got to be a pita to use17:30
rick_h_brousch: I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/order-history/ref=ohs_order_orderid?ie=UTF8&hasWorkingJavascript=1&opt=ab&qid=&search=105-5667181-1176227&sr= and like it17:31
ColonelPanic001cmaloney: sure, I'll try and remember to start it up later17:51
cmaloneyColonelPanic001: Cool17:57
* cmaloney played another quick game at lunch. 5 handicap vs. Gnu Go on 9x9. Managed to get ahead again and gain territory.17:57
cmaloneyI look forward to the day when I can win on 9x9 without training wheels.17:58
cmaloneyThe 19x19 board without training wheels seems a long way off. :)17:58
ColonelPanic001heh17:59

ColonelPanic001I like the one for latex18:00
cmaloneyMy only regret with LaTeX is I don't have many uses for it on a daily basis18:02
cmaloneybut I know that if I ever decide to publish RPG stuff it'll all be done in LaTeX.18:02
cmaloneyunless it's for Steve Jackson Games because they have some funky Word template they use.18:03
cmaloney;)18:03
lmorchardcmaloney: Getting into Go?18:25
brouschrick_h_: I can't see that link since it looks like a link to your order. I guess this charger isn't wireless, just magnetic http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D8IC2IY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=118:26
rick_h_brousch: ah ic18:26
rick_h_http://www.amazon.com/Original-Cable-Google-Faster-Charge/dp/B00D7NZLK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391192799&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+10+pogo+charger is what I got, something like it18:26
brouschlooks similar, but without a dock18:27
rick_h_but yea, a pogo cable that's magnetic but no dock18:27
rick_h_I've got it in a case and such and not sure how a dock would work18:27
rick_h_because I want the case to stand it up when movie watching/playing games for the boy18:27
rick_h_http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RZPH1G/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=118:27
brouschI have that for N718:28
brouschWell, similar18:28
rick_h_still fits in a dock?18:28
brouschNo. The Touchpad has a wireless charging dock that makes it nice to grab and use18:29
brouschI wanted similar for the N1018:29
cmaloneylmorchard: Yeah, a little bit18:36
cmaloneyIf it's good enough for Nolan Bushnell to name his company after it I figure I should give it a go. ;)18:36
brouschhttp://laughingsquid.com/nasty-icons-a-collection-of-50-very-rude-vector-icons/18:43
brouschReplace bookie icons with those18:49
