a Monday treat!
-
Yippeee!!
-
play-by play for Gaz:
nice start with "Hot Fun in the Summertime", followed by Janis, "Try" -- always nice to hear one of the lesser-played Joplin tracks.

And great horn charts on both.

VHM Booker T, "Hang 'em High".

VHM Booker T, "Hang 'em High".
Must of started a bit early? I forgot to turn on my radio, first thing this morning, but it was only 10:05 when I tuned in and song 3 was playing already.
-
Great intro into Communication Breakdown!!
-
Not a fave LZ song, but still pretty good. Great guitar solo saves the day. Bonzo's over-zealous symbol bashing is irritating, though.
-
VHM2, Rascals, "See". Discover who you really am!
-
This Moby Grape tune always gives me a smile. Anybody know why it's called "Omaha"?
Damn, am I completely confused? (See above)
OK, I looked it up, and indeed I was confoosed. "Omaha" is the "Listen my friends" song. Maybe Dave could play that to get me out of trouble.
BTW, this Iron Butterfly song....no.
-
MY GOD--Is this Iron Butterfly?
-
MY GOD--Is this Iron Butterfly?
that's what I thought; Davefish says Moby Grape. Similar lead voice in any case.
-
Gaz is missing one of his faves, Spiral Starecase. Hope you get to hear the replay tonite, bub!
-
MY GOD--Is this Iron Butterfly?
that's what I thought; Davefish says Moby Grape. Similar lead voice in any case.
But to my over-the-air ears, it hadn't started yet when he posted that--the Rascals song was still on. I thought that was what he was saying was MG.
ETA: Never mind. I see this had been cleared up before I posted this.

well then he really IS confused :wink:
ooo! BOS "Can I Change My Mind?" Guess Dave hasn't been able to find Barbara Acklin for me. Yet.
-
BOS2 Motherlode, "When I Die" -- a small lost gem.
-
I'm no longer confooooosed, I think. Heh. I thought The Rascals was Moby Grape, but I no longer think that. Regarding the Iron Butterfly song, the "...no" was my capsule review of the song, not disagreeing that that was who it was. Sorry about that, chiefs.
-
I'm diggin this set- lots of stuff I'm not all that familiar with!
-
"we came in peace for all mankind"
Can you imagine the ruckus that choice of words would raise today on the right? They'd denounce it as namby-pamby, PC and not nearly American enough.

Ditto. Had to wait for cow-orkers to leave before I could post. Sincve I'm leaving the job, I no longer have to go to the meetings. Yay!
-
another VHM, the Moodies, "Never Comes the Day".
-

LOL! No kidding. Now it's more like: "We're here to hand out lollipops & kick ass- and we're all out of lollipops, motherf&*%^ers!"

Coincidentally I went to the Hornet Museum Saturday. The Hornet is an aircraft carrier docked in Alameda and turned into a museum. One of it's claims to fame is that it retrieved the Apollo 11 capsule and crew. They have a very nice exhibit dedicated to the space program and the Hornet's part in it. Plus, they have Neil Armstrong's footprints painted on the deck.
Anyway, a worthwhile outing. I understand that they are having trouble paying the bills, so you might want to go soon (though they're discussing moving it to SF). 14 bucks, for adults.

To be properly P.C.- you'd have to change it to "humankind". Or "peoplekind"

What a marvy set. I am truly sorry I missed it. If we have an early issue close tonight I'll be able to catch the replay, but in case I don't, is anyone planning to tape?
And Ali - So you've done the deed, have ya? Good on you! Destination known or unknown?
Lastly, if any of you know anyone who's looking for journalistic coverage of the Streaming Media East conference taking place the next two days in NYC, I'm looking for someone to cover it for. Firing blanks so far in my contact list.
Ciao for now,
Gaz.

Hey Gaz -- if you're near a TV tomorrow nite (Tues), ESPN's "Teammmates" game show, in which teammates answer questions about each other, Newlywed Game-style, is featuring the pairing of Barry Zito and Eric Byrnes. A lovely couple.

I have seen a couple promos for this and am SO EAGER to see it. I think it's a fab idea, and that they got a metro like Zito to do it thrills the heart of my cockles. I'm sure the Gym Sports Bar will show this -- first time they'll actually KNOW what's on ESPN beforehand.

Is there any other kind?

from the blow-by-blow, I couldn't tell if it was Iron Butterfly or not, but apparently it was! Looks like a pretty decent set.
5/16/05 - Monday... Look at that! It's 1969!!!
Sly - Hot Fun in the Summertime
Janis Joplin - Try
Booker T & the MGs - Hang 'Em High
Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown (B-O-S!!)
Rascals - See
Iron Butterfly - Soul Experience
Spiral Staircase - More Today Than Yesterday
Tyrone Davis - Can I Change My Mind?
Mother Lode - When I Die
Moody Blues - Never Comes the Day

We had a mutual three month notice during which time I have been looking. My last day will not extend beyond May 31st. My wish is/was to take the summer off and go to all Giants daytime home games. I have my exit interview Tuesday morning so probably no 10@10.
I might have found a new place to hang my proverbial hat however. I have a third interview tomorrow afternoon and they called one of my references this morning. The only unknown is salary, we haven't talked about it yet and I just don't know when to bring it up. The location is approx. 2 miles from my house!
I had a phone interview Friday with a major company in SF but I really don't want a commute and they haven't called again.
How's your work situation? The one door closing and a better one opening saying will hopefully be true.

I'm not a believer in bringing up salary, unless money's too tight to mention. If they're decent people they're not going to horribly low-ball you. If you want to bring it up, you can always take the indirect route of asking about other benes (health insurance, sick/vaca days, 401k) and let then take the cue to talk about compensation in wide-angle.
As for my work situation, it's chaotic. In a good way. I guess having the Voice on my resume has its advantages. The rundown goes like this (as much to remind myself as anything else):
* Pitched coverage of the Playing For Life softball tournament to Outsports.com -- accepted! To be written over 4th of July weekend.
* Pitched a review of the new Aimee Mann album to the Voice -- accepted! Already turned in, though it probably won't run until early June.
* Turned in my already-assigned summary of the EMP Pop Conference to StarPolish.com -- accepted, though we haven't talked compensation, and I'm frankly dissatisfied with the pictures I provided as part of my story.
* Pitched coverage to the Voice of a streaming media conference taking place tomorrow and Wednesday -- rejected by the print side, but accepted by the web managing editor as a web-only piece. To be written Wednesday and Thursday, assuming I can get press credentials same-day.
* Requested 5 album reviews and 3 artist biographies to write for AMG -- was assigned 3 and 3 (including the bio of the Rubettes, which I devoured while doing my EMP research). To be written over the next 10 days.
* Turned in latest set of 8 StarPolish reviews (a low-paying gig, but one that's mine for as long as I want it).
* Was asked to write a jacket quote for an illustrated novel with soundtrack that's almost ready for release.
* Updated resume/dossier at MediaBistro.com, Monster.com, JournalismJobs.com, and MTV Jobhunt, no takers from those sources.
* Got an email today from someone asking me for my resume, to consider me for work as a fact-checker with a startup magazine.
* Got ideas for about 6 other articles I want to pitch, if I can ever find the time and the focus.
So that's freelance life, a feeling not far removed from Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Hey, good luck with this new opportunity--hope it comes thru if you really want it. The fact that it's so close to home is of immeasurable value--not having to spend hour(s) in the car every day (or rather, getting a little more time at home), not to mention less $ for gas in these usurous times, is huge.
And I agree with Gaz about the salary--when it's time to talk about that, you'll talk. So long as it's not a startup, they should at least make you a decent offer, and you can always negotiate--generally, don't take the first offer (at least not right off the bat).
And to stay on topic, I was just listening to this set (1969) and realized that there was no Beatles in this one--not unheard of, but kind of a rarity for sets of this vintage.

My 2 cents worth on the new job negotiations: job title is ultimately more important than starting salary. I get paid far les than the average BusDev Director, but that 'Director' is invaluable for both intiating contacts within this job & for leveraging to the next one (which I am getting pretty serious about). Conversely my wife got stuck for far too long with a damned 'Associate' stuck in front of her job title, and although incremental raises and bonuses were no trouble, being an 'Associate' really held her back on the grand scale.
-
Thanks for the words of wisdom. I don't really know what the official title of the job is or will be. I need to ask. We did discuss bene's and financials. I expected more so I'm trying to get it figured out in my mind and come back with an increased request. The benefits SUCK so I want to have increased salary to compensate for what I'm walking away from. Yes, not having a commute, mass transit or gas costs plus time costs, do add up in my favor.
I need to figure it out tonight and email them by tomorrow. I really want to gice it a shot as being employed will be better than not. I can always keep looking if it doesn't work. Three other jobs I really thought would be great, never called me. It's scary thinking about new challenges. I know I can do it but still worry about not meeting their expectations.
BTW Urth, a really nice guy I work with mentioned he saw a job of interest at Cnet. Not sure what or if he's really ready to jump ship.
