Tales of Mystery and Imagination was Allen Parsons Project first album, and I own it on every media available..I think.
Back in the old days, when I ran a private homeschool, I had my students listen to it for a couple of week (immersion therapy!) and get a ken for the lyrics. Then, in our American Lit class, we would read some of Poe’s work. I wouldn’t tell them what song went with what story...but they figured it out.
Wasn’t APP kinda like Steely Dan...a rotating group of background musicians with one or two constant leaders?
What do you call a pedophile that steals elections?
Very interesting. Thanks for the explanation.
(Permission requested for a slide)
This slide is directed to all FReepers who may be current or former electricians, electrical engineers, utility technicians, or power-company personnel.
My area of OK has been experiencing frequent “power bumps” lately. Either the power goes off completely, then comes back on 5-10 seconds later; or, one circuit in a home shuts off, then comes back on. In my own house, it’s the one that controls my computer, the TV, the clock in my bedroom — and my A/C. Everything else stays on.
This has been happening ever since O G & E began “upgrading the infrastructure”, which occurred at about the same time that marijuana growers came to OK to open up shop. It is, of course, of greater-than-usual concern currently because temps have been 101 to 105 for nearly 2 weeks, and it doesn’t look likely to end any time soon.
Guess I’d like to know if constant “power bumps” are a normal part of installing new equipment. O G & E is finally getting around to burying power lines also, which they needed to do decades ago.
I don’t want to think that they’re deliberately doing this “just to show people who’s the boss”. (And I realize that the idea sounds paranoid). The power doesn’t stay off long enough to be considered a “rolling blackout”.
This being my longest slide ever, I ask the pardon of my fellow FReepers. Still, I’d be grateful for any knowledge that any of you may have on the subject. Thanks in advance.
(ELECTRICAL SLIDE OVER)
:: Wasnβt APP kinda like Steely Dan ::
Yep.
And contemporaries too.
Some folks have first edition copies of every Steely Dan albums (media releases)...cough, cough
Always the same circuit?
Sounds like uncontrolled X-Y-Z legging.
Crappy power company.
Are you in an REC?
The people that I know who are vaxxed and boosted are extremely smart, successful, and brain washed.
Almost all have come down with WuFlu, some with disastrous heath results, and I doubt if they can or will be able to understand why and what has happened to them.
I whole”heartedly” (unjabbed, no myocarditis) agree with your statement “I think that this is going to get very ugly and soon.”
It already has gotten very ugly.
They won’t be able to walk the streets.
Notice nobody booed the heckler?
Nope, unfortunately not. It's beyond me how OG&E can have a monopoly on so much of the state, but they do. And they just jacked up everyone's rates -- AGAIN.
Can't help wishing there was a class-action lawsuit. We "little people" are getting screwed in a big way. Not even buying us dinner first!
The DS planned all along to get rid of Biden at some point, but they wanted to choose the reason (i.e. declining health). But white hats had another plan - ecpose Biden’s corruption and depravity. This stuff is hitting just as the MSM have been pushing the “Biden’s a liability” narrative for the past 1-2 months. Now we have allegations becoming public that are a lot more serious than “Biden is weighing down Dems prospects for the mid-terms”. But what are they supposed to do now? Reverse gears and go back to the “Biden is just fine” messaging? or keep with the push to have him removed for declining health but ignore all reports of the more serious allegations? The bad guys are caught in a bad place with not a lot of good options.
In the meantime, it’s likely that things have been going on behind the scenes to push the MSM into reporting more honestly. Twitter is being exposed. CNN has a new President who is less ideological than Zucker. Even ABC and NBC have shown some willingness to report on Biden more critically.
Sort of like "Died Suddenly, Was Perfectly Healthy"
π¦ πΊπΈπ₯ππ½
At this point, Biden can’t follow the play book and hide behind a campaign to avoid arrest.
Actually, as I look around, no one else can either! π€£π€£π€£
WINNING!
Good post, I agree the first two albums were the stand out efforts. I wasnt sure the Alan Parsons slide was still alive
but added my .02 anyway.
And as for the vinyls, “I Robot” was selected by Mobile Fidelity as one of only 8 MFSL UHQR releases on 180g JVC super vinyl half-speed mastered discs @ $50 a pop (a lot of money in the 70’s) oh yes, limited to 5000 pressings each.
And that’s a mouthful (clears throat)
My Favorite “later releases” are Ammonia Avenue, Gaudi and On Air.
Just beautiful music...

107 has long assured the Trump base of a coming “gut punch”, in several interviews.

......
Nino reports Pence, the Trump Loyalist, starts spending on digital ad buys, in the wake of Roe v. Wade. Advancing American Values is a PAC Pence founded.
Nino freaks out that RINOS may want a Pence-DeSantis ticket.
......
I don’t see DeSantis playing second fiddle to Pence.
Definitely winning!
I see anons noting they never argue with hookers about how much crack they have ROFL meme world and clown world have merged
RINOs would want nothing to do with DeSantis.
