Hi all. A little memory of no importance that I would like to share: 40 years ago (more or less) at a Bauhaus gig I was knocked to the ground by Murphy´s flying/spinning microphone. I came round in the arms off a little punkette who brought me back with sips from her warm hip flask "hidden" in her fishnet stockings. She prontly disapeared... I wonder If shes listening to RP thinking about that skinny idiot sitting in all that spit!
Only if the Reynolds number is over 2100. Otherwise, you are in laminar flow, then f=16/NRe (if we are talking fanning friction factor).
Seriously, this sort of stuff is always what this Chemical Engineer thinks about when I hear this song. It's sad.

Were you one of those guys in that Fairlane? I still think our rebuilt 283 could've beat you but the ol' Maypop tires just didn't have the grip.
I'll miss you LK. He'd gave me he 30,000 tunes. Opened the the giant door to downloading and piracy as it were him and Rp from back to the ought 2000's. Many many drinkin' beer nights. And a hurricane or 2! RIP
Tori is your gay meter. She was once quoted that only gay men care for here style. I do not care for her music. Hooray for me, I passed the strait test, lol.
Sting gets a lot of stick, particularly from the Brits. Can someone explain to me why? He doesn't seem so obviously up his own posterior like many other big names out there, and he is unquestionably a really talented musician. What's the problem people have with him?

I usually don't like mixes, but the one of this song mixed with Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" is really incredible. (I guess it helps a lot that I like both songs on their own.) Check it out on YouTube.

No. Gabriel I know that's you disguised as a listener you creepy stalker of my ears. Putting Gabriel into a Cure tune is like taking a dump in my coffee to get a new flavour.

Cool comment and I was looking forward to a proto-Zimbra when I googled Dance of Maya (and I did play it at 2x speed too) but it's not what snard says it is.
Yeah, but that's the only part that doesn't make sense, right?

I Zimbra was created around the time fripp and the alien math scale rhythmic discipline thing went public, before this thing crawled into the belew-levin-bruford-fripp crimson - I Zimbra might be the debut of that thing even...perhaps it needed the hive mind of eno/byrne/belew/fripp to rupture itself up. "Larks tonuges" was close, but outside in. This thing breathes inside out, like a cool ivory jacket with it's warm blue veins on the outside. Check out the much earlier "Dance of Maya" ( preferably about 3 times faster for cross-examination ) by Mahavishnu Orchestra ( CGTw/levin&masteleto also bow to it beautifly ) - this is wherethe thing first clawed thru the blood-brain barrier, stretched it's scaly head thru our lovely scabs, sniffed about and decided to come back when we were ready... ( oh yes, the lyrics might be in it's alien language which has no earthly interpretation we humans can bear to comprehend (? ) I Zimbra could be the name of this language, or the Thing's name ( "I Zimbra, you Jane" ) or the coming invasion's name...what do you think?
