- Tesla [
Whitney appears to say, "Hava Nagila beach party style.'
Tesla chokes.
Whitney says, "http://www.meshuggabeachparty.com/meshugga/audio/hava_nagila.mp3"
Tesla fears.
Whitney says, "The other audio bits they have sound like bond ]soundtracks."
Whitney says, "Pardon weird typing artifacts, pseudoniece."
Whitney says, "'\=-who has \\\\\now hit ] a lot, explored the backslash, and ejected my cd twice."
Tesla cackles.
Whitney says, "Are you downloading? Huh?"
Tesla says, "Graaaadually."
Whitney says, "No, Naomi, the power button is not a button I will let you play with."
Whitney says, "Naomi explores the keyboard commands for iTunes."
Brooks [
Whitney is fed Cheerios.
Whitney says, "How goes the download/"
Tesla says, "... oh, it's done."
Whitney stares at Tesla until gtst listens.
Tesla says, "At the commercial."
ibn_Firnas [
Whitney says, "Did Ibn just listen to it?"
ibn_Firnas says, "But what do you bring to a kosher clambake?"
Whitney says, "They have some other audio links on the site, all of which sound like Bond movie soundtracks to me."
Whitney says, "Apparently beach-partying traditional Jewish folk songs is how you get Bond movies."
ibn_Firnas says, "And then Moses surfs the Red Sea."
Von [
Whitney still staring at Tesla.
Tesla says, "Patience."
Whitney says, "Yeah yeah yeah how long will that take?"
Tesla cackles.
Tesla listens. "..."
Tesla says, "... what gets me is how well it works."
Von scrolls back, "Okay, may I? Cuz now I'm curious."
ibn_Firnas says, "I always thought some of those surf guitar-and-bass lines sounded an awful lot like Hava Nagila."
Tesla says, "http://www.meshuggabeachparty.com/meshugga/audio/hava_nagila.mp3, Von."
Von says, "Thanks."
Tesla says, "Did I ever inflict the Hasidic reggae artist on you, Abbas?"
Whitney deeply tempted to copy this conversation to LJ yes.
ibn_Firnas says, "...no?"
Whitney says, "Because the person who gave /me/ the link has taken his offspring and gone home."
Von giggles. Dear god.
Tesla says, "http://www.hasidicreggae.com/index.php?section=article&id=23. Tom introduced me to him with the remark, 'I never thought I'd say these words, but this Hasidic reggae artist is really good.' And he /is/. Get Close My Eyes."
[ Editorial note: I can't make the Hassidic reggae artist's stuff work, but I'm leaving the link in for those people with more ept than I am who might like to know. Or just those who might like to know. ]
I'm just pleased at the existence of "meshuggabeachparty.com".
Just wrote to someone who's looking to adopt out a bird of the sort I've been looking into getting "sometime". I have no earthly idea what outcome I'm hoping for here, whether I want it to go smoothly with bird moving in here or for something to nix it (and many things could). In any case, I hope the bird finds a good home.
Managed to get 320 words written yesterday -- which is interesting, since I hit 80 after tremendous grinding work, said, 'Okay, I'll go to a hundred', and the next 20 became some 200. Minor character may have some well-hidden depth. Goal for today: finishing the chapter.
