The Relapse show has been up for a couple weeks, but I haven't posted the link yet because I've been keeping busy as usual. Here's a link to the Relapse show from 2008-11-01. I've been playing Left 4 Dead a lot lately. It's pretty fun, but I hope Valve releases some new maps soon, or at least the full SDK so people can start making their own maps.

The Left 4 Dead demo came out today for those who pre-ordered. It's pretty cool, but I'm hoping some of thie kinks will be worked out before they release on November 18th. For anyone interested, you can check out my Steam Profile at http://steamcommunity.com/id/slartibartfast.
I finished tracking the Relapse show from last week. I'll post the .flacs sometime when I'm not using my network.

I'm editing my recording of last weekend's Relapse show now. You should really check these guys out if they are coming to a Bay Area location near you. Unfortunately I didn't tape Inner Orbit Machine. They were also worth watching. You can hear the bass player talking on the Relapse recording.

If you haven't tried Pandora Radio yet, you should. All you have to do is enter either a band or song name and it will create a radio station based on your input. I've been listening to a Led Zeppelin station for most of the evening. It's pretty cool how Pandora picks other artists and songs that it thinks you will like. You can give each song a thumbs up, or a thumbs down to help Pandora learn your taste. For those of you with an iPhone, there is an app in the App Store you can download to listen to Pandora radio on your iPhone.

Wow... over 3 months since the last post. Whats, new... I'm married now, I got an iPhone 3G, and there are some new setlists posted. Other than that, not much has changed. Since the last post, I saw The Police, Dave Matthews Band (2 of 3 nights in Berkeley), Counting Crows, and Relapse. I taped DMB on 2008-09-06, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings on 2008-09-06, and Relapse on 2008-09-13. All of the setlists can be found on my Trading Page.

Lots of wedding planning going on. We picked up our wedding rings on Thursday. I think we're going to look at tuxedos tomorrow after work. I added some new setlists. Most are from Bonnaroo, although there is also the entire Phil Lesh & Friends run from the Warfield in May.

My new computer is up and running. It is a huge step up from my old computer. I'm running an Intel Quad Core Q6600 processor with 4GB RAM and an Nvidia 8800GTX video card. I'm still running 32 bit Windows XP, so I only actually get to use 3.25 GB of that RAM, but whenever I move to 64 bit, I already have the ram. It's nice to actually be able to play current PC games again. I picked up The Orange Box recently and I've been playing a lot of Team Fortress 2. I finished Portal, but I haven't even started any of the Half Life 2 games. I'll have to do that sometime when I have a chunk of free time. Speaking of free time, I think I'll go play some TF2.

Well my computer finally died after 7 years. I'm in the process of looking for computer parts so I can build a new system. I've been dying to do this since Half Life 2 came out a few years ago. Soon I'll be able to play some current PC games.

Links on the Relapse page are fixed. All users now get direct links to the mp3s and flacs.

2008-01-23 (1:40pm) currently listening to: nothing
My domain was moved to a different server the other day and it looks like the FTP links are broken again. I'll try to fix them later.

Happy New Year!
