Hum drum bum
Well, it’s Wednesday, and I’m doing my day in the office thing.
I’ve been working at home and will continue to do so 4 days a week… wednesday being the day I come in. It’s worked out pretty damn well so far, hanging out in my jammy bottoms and a t-shirt while writing coldfusion applications on the loaner laptop. We’re looking into bringing my desk phone home as well.
It’s a Cisco IP Phone 7960, so in theory, I could establish a VPN session with the laptop to the corperate network, and when someone called my work number, the phone should ring in my house. I’m going to talk to IT to verify that this is will work and that no one will jump me if I attempt to remove the phone from the building.
Tonights rockstar life plans….. watch Enterprise at 8 and Bands Reunited – A Flock of Seagulls on vh1 at 10.
Oh yeah… I’m outa control!
So did they get the original ‘gulls together? I don’t have VH1.
MG
1They did! The music was perfect, pity that the lead singers voice isn’t what it used to be (hell… it’s gone and he’s just yelling into the microphone).
I didn’t realize the guitarist (the one with the big round glasses) was a 15 year old kid when the band was at their height.
2Cool, pity though – some folks just do not age well.
Thanks for the info – ‘Later!
3Well, they posted the video from that show at VH1’s website…
…the emperor has no voice! I barely recognize the old Score (he came back a little bit at the end), tho’ I remember recording the King Biscuit Flower Hour on KISW in Seattle in ’82, and Mike’s voice live was somewhat rough then (and he hadn’t lost his accent either).
I only just realized that Maudsley’s basswork was that tempo/cadence that was one of the signature elements of that song – I had always thought Mike had a sequencer on his keyboard – impressive, I did not know basses could do that.
4Moreover…
The band sounded good, tho’ I disagreed with the synth patch (= sound tone) – reminded me more of Van Halen’s “Jump” than new wave. Reynolds’ Guitar was a little too distorted – the contrast was clear when they shifted to old footage, but in all fairness, he can whoop my sorry carcass in guitar any day of the week – I’m only a sound mixer, not a playa’.
