I'm sad the previous page had to go, I let it be said. I'd, however be glad to make this reply into a poem, but my mind, as is my fountain of inspiration, running on dead. Perhaps this coming week will provide a spark, but one can only live so long talking but without being heard, and providing food for thought only to watch it spoil, I don't have the effort to be downtrodden any longer. I wonder what's wronger, though: allowing this madness to be trickled through, or resigning to state that you tried to change it, but now you're falling victim to the void as well. Not enough fortitude is being shown in the poem-writing project of mine, huh?

I wonder what really is happening to us all (in the existential sense) of the whole population, not just the participants of this thread, nor the inhabitants of the forum, but of the entire world.
When I was younger (child) whenever i was in the backseat o my Subaru, or wood-paneled mini-van, or ven as I was just walking (I used to walk for miles each and every day) I always pondered what is the inside of a random stranger's home, their apartment, one's abode. Not just the houses of which I passed across, but how peopel lived in Asia, in Canadia, in Galapagos, where I was born, wheres I once lived, and thus, onwards. I always imagined that no two dwellings were the same, but I'd still come to find similarities. And that's how my dream super-power of teleportation really found its first use, if I ever achieved it.

Music guru needed
I have a small dub of a piece of music that I recorded from the movie In The Electric Mist. I would like to ask your help in identifying it. It is possibly one of the 16 songs listed, but it may also just be some incidental music. I also would like to know the style of music so that I can search out more music of similar ilk. Would one of you fine folk accept an email from me so as to hear it and help me out on this? Zook....

Funny you should mention that, Ocm?.
A few days ago I was searching for unusual, creative search tools and came upon one that might even work for the above mentioned sound clip search. But my link for that is on my home laptop and now I'm in work...though technically, I am not working at this moment while "wasting" time here. The software can actually search for pictures, even things in pictures like faces, based on some kind of algorithms that look for text based patterns in the "computer language" that makes up the picture, or sound, or whatever. The guy who developed this has versions targeted specifically for certain purposes, such as facial searches, various objects, and of course one is specifically designed to hunt for pornography of your choice. |

I listened to Zooks' clip and found it to be a haunting melody that I like, but I have no idea who did it or what it is.
Zooks, maybe you want to try this: FindSounds - Sounds-Like Search |

Zooks, I think I found it.
I just kept hunting and gathering and next thing I knew...POP! it was there. Try this and let me know what you think: ---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ---------- Since today is Veterans Day in the U.S., the "top 5 at 5" picks on WXPN (local radio station plays 5 songs of a certain theme at 5pm each day) were all songs by veterans. This one by Kris Kristofferson, who is a veteran, in some strange way led me to the find above: ---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ---------- Bonus similar character Celtic tune: If I ever meet a Celtic princess, I'm going to marry her. |

Thank you very much for that, Nick.
I swear that I downloaded a song that has that same name, that sound NOTHING like this one, so I ignored songs that had this name. ... .... Now that I've listened to it a few times, I am actually not convinced that it is the same song either.... Very similar, same band/instruments/style etc, but different tempo, and perhaps chords? I am not musically gifted, I sing like a cane toad, and can't even play a decent tune on an Ipod, so forgive me if you believe other wise? .

And so the search continues..?
Honestly? I'm still looking for that 10th inning-Baseball-Doc-by-Ken-Burns intrumental interlude. It's so Charlie brown-esque, and hauntingly-beautiful. - - - EDIT: here's the context, for a refresher... Quote:

When I was living in in the tiny left-hand peninsula (Tampa Bay) of the panhandled-peninsula state, I used to have this beautiful park and pond in my neighborhood (it was a half-mile circumference water body, and there was only one not-very-busy-at-all road that led into main traffic by it, so it was always peaceful and serene). It was near a daily routine that mother and I would go to the park, and we'd bring white bread to feed to the ducks and geese. I'm not sure how to transition the story right about here, but one day as I was tossing out scraps twenty feet or so from the pond's edge, I noticed murky-green scales floating towards the food. I never saw the big ones, but there were definitely some child alligators within the pond, and a few were brazen enough to climb the steep embankment from the pond, up onto the grass, and half-chase the birds. It seems they wanted the bread all to themselves.

Hey Jetée, thank you! It's good to be back and see your amazing posts.
'Bout them there gators, I don't recall I've ever seen them crossing the road, but I have seen them in many small bodies of water throughout the state. But I have seen these crossing the road in the Keys.

Zooks, I'm probably not any more musically gifted than you so my impression may be wrong. But to me it sounds like the same "song" but not the same performance of it. And my searching around seemed to support my conclusion based on what many other people were saying about both the soundtrack and this version of it ...not that that guarantees anything for sure on the internetz. |

I saw George and the Delaware Destroyers live a couple times at the Bijou Cafe in Philadelphia ...back in the late '70's when it was still there. The Bijou space is about as large as a sizeable living room so we were about 10ft from him on stage with his serious sound system, all at table level in front of us. We just kept yelling "louder, louder!!!" and he obliged us thorogoodly.
Please speak up, I can't hear you. This was part of what set me in my Bad path. ---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------  |

I was a 'bout to state that I thaught (thunk?) that George's name had a "U" in there somewhere, but then I looked at the poster - the young youtuber typo'd Georgie's name, and not the other way 'round (whereby i have been mistakenly thinking that Thurogood never had a "U" in his name to begin with).
Sorry for the confusion.
