The New Hobbit Hole

Heh.... click the pic....

[HairOfTheDog]

I think it's true!

Oh, I'm familiar with Jethro Tull... I have an eclectic taste in music myself! :)

What the heck was that about?

By the way, those Viking Kittens were cute... have you seen this?

How about this?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

It's the only way to be. Otherwise you might miss something worthwhile!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Ummmmm...do you know...you could get sued for that...

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, I am familiar with Yatta! And you are quirky ;~D

Heh... about the only music I don't care for much is rap. My current favorite type of music is Country... not the "Hot, New Country" put out by Nashville, but a mix of older stuff and current Texas Country music. Austin is a hub for Texas Country music, and it's very different from the stuff Nashville produces.

When I went to college my freshman roommate was deeply into New Wave music... I got quite an education in Devo, XTC, Psychedelic Furs, Boomtown Rats, Clash... just to name a few!

And "that" was about paranoia!

Just 'cuz I am paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me!

You'd better avoid this thread! It's where I found the Yatta links. ;)

That Yatta song kind of sticks in one's head...

If my wife knew what I was doing while she was out with the gals...

Well, it'd be a mess, that's all I can say!

And "that" was about paranoia!

Sometimes I'm glad I have a modem connection... if I had a high speed connection I'd have to set up a firewall, and then I'd be obsessing over all the warnings it put out too...

By the way, I don't strive to be quirky... it just usually works out that way!

Oh, yeah, looks like you've been through the 80's pretty good. How'd you ever get to Benny Goodman from that????

I'm definitely NOT a fan of rap either (music is not all rhythm without melody, sorry). I'm not much on country either (though my dad was big on Charlie Pride and Dolly Parton-- early version). I was a big fan of Dylan in my younger years, and he was very country-folk-like (Blonde on Blonde), but that's as close as I came.

I'm much more the Celtic music type.

She doesn't like Jethro Tull?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Only the acoustic stuff...Oh, my God, she's home!!! I'm a dead man!

They are just random acts, like a autodialer... I turn off the notifications because there is no reason to know. It is extra super paranoid to think you are being hacked specifically because you are at FR... He probably just spends more hours a day here than at any other individual site.

I thought my bizarre bad dns juju problem was related to FR too at first, but it's just probability... I sit here and click more links than than I do anywhere else, bouncing from posts to self-search and back to posts, so it is more likely to happen while here than anywhere else.

How'd you ever get to Benny Goodman from that?

I dunno... just heard it and liked it, I guess.

I grew up listening to 40s-50s-60s Country at home... my Dad's favorite was Hank Williams (Hank Williams performing "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", my vote for saddest song ever). In the 70s my favorite was Paul McCartney & Wings... then I learned that Paul had been in a band before that, and I became a latter-day Beatlemaniac. From that, got into 60's psychedelic rock (Jimi Hendrix performing "Are You Experienced?" totally trips me out.) Got into New Wave and 80's pop in the 80's, then back into Country in the 90s.

Somewhere in there I picked up an appreciation for swing music, especially Benny Goodman. I don't remember when or how!

If I came home to find my husband watching Yatta on the internet, I think I would be packing a bag and going home to Daddy!

That's good to know!

By the way, have you heard anything about the Yahoo chat not working through a proxy server? Apparently that was what kept Rose from joining the chat the other night... it kept disconnecting her when she tried to join, and gave several possibilities that might be causing it; the fact that she was going through a proxy server was the only one that fit, but if so, that's really disappointing!

Especially since when we eventually get RoadRunner we'll both be operating through a proxy server...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I showed that Yatta video to Rose... she stared at it open-mouthed the entire time.
