What's an assclown?

Had the opportunity to see this on the big screen tonight. Harrowing.
The documentary affects me the way the documentary of Jim Jones
does... to see writhing humanity just dissolve into chaos and mayhem,
like some Hieronymus Bosch painting. Seeing the movie in theater is
especially effective, because you can't help but be lifted into a
bluesy rock and roll trance as the Stones stomped across the country,
calmly self-aware of how great they were at that time. But this makes
the crash all the more stunning.

I wasn't there, but it seems to me this really was the death of the
sixties. The last hurrah that was billed as a true gathering, drawing
the freaks and bikers from the Bay area and nationwide.... as it made
its descent to the sounds of Grace's appallingly thin appeals for
peace and love. And its not just the Angels, or the murder - it was
the whole thing... Watching "Sunshine Daydream" you see a bunch of
freaks enjoying a hot day, but in Gimme Shelter there was something
much more malevolent going on ....

Thanks to Mr. Rapidan for explaining this technique to me. All I've
done here is put it in a step-by-step format.

1. Find a stream-only recording that you'd like to liberate. For the
purposes of explication, let's go with something hot from July of '89.

http://www.archive.org/details/gd89-07-07.sbd.wiley.7855.sbeok.shnf

2. Go to the link above. Right click on the stream link labeled
VBR_M3U, and copy link location.

3. Paste that into the address box. It should look like this:

http://www.archive.org/download/gd89-07-07.sbd.wiley.7855.sbeok.shnf/gd89-07-07.sbd...

4. Truncate back to the parent directory by snipping off the "/
gd89-07-07.sbd.wiley.7855.sbeok.shnf_vbr.m3u"

5. You should have this remaining:

http://www.archive.org/download/gd89-07-07.sbd.wiley.7855.sbeok.shn

6. Click this link to enter the secret directory. From here, you can
download any of the vbr.mp3 files and play/save them as .vbr.mp3
filez.

As Rapidan explained in the other post on this subject, you can use
the Firefox app "downthemall" to quickly snag just the vbr files.

WTF is it with these assclowns and "treasure"? Bush said something
very similar a few months back, IIRC...do these nitwits really believe
that there is actual treasure in the treasury, or is this Newspeak for
something else and I'm not brainwashed enough to make the logical
contortions required to buy what they're selling without understanding
it?

Treasure...fucksakes.

The smart guys at Epson are working on a much better display for this
type of device:

Does one exist online? It must and I could probably find it. But since
it must, someone here must know where it is and could possibly save my
lazy ass several minutes of cyber-wandering. Please.
What got me to wondering was listening this morning to "Venutian Lady"
by the late, great Paul Pena. Jerry plays pedal steel on this
recording, and quite nicely, too.

Might be alright if you have a laptop computer. But I'd hate to have
to lug my whole desktop and monitor every time I wanted to "take a
read" in the bathroom...

I have had my kindle for about 2 months now. Bought it with my tax rebate
check. Since then the price has gone down $50. I love my kindle. Although
new books take a little more time to come out, the amount of available
material is sufficent for a lifetime.

There are also web sites where you can download public domain books for
free.

With a 1 or 2 gig card, you can hold hundreds of books.

Although not perfect, even with my bad eyes it is an easy read.

Available are books, blogs, newspapers, and magazines.

I even set my screensaver to a picture of Jer.

I recommend the Kindle highly.
