So, um, guys… what’s your screen resolution? At least 1024×768, I hope? Men at work, and all that jazz you know.

I am wondering…does anybody know how many of us visit this site?
Someone must have counted, right?
Just off the top of my head it seems like a few dozen (I am probably WAY OFF). I’d sure be interested to know exactly how many fans Gail is alienating.
Should we encourage KUR / Barry to continue?
I don’t think so.
Therefore : an entertaining good joke. A true story, hopefully not applicable to KUR / Barry :
We’re in the Dark Ages; the year is 869.
Al-Jahiz, an Arab scholar from Basra and author of works on literature, history, biology, zoology, Mu’tazili philosophy and theology, and politico-religious polemics is reputed to have been killed by his own library when shelves fell over on him.
see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths
Ok, for sure, unlike Al-Jahiz KUR / Barry will survive & pursue. Why?
Because he will introduce the implementation of both
- old smart human ( how people relate to each other)
- technical ( devices ) things, technologies in the making , i e called nowadays New Weird Working Methods & Technologies.
Compare it with FZ, his way of pursuing. Musically / technically : for instance new musical instruments:
- the theremin ( mentioned earlier on KUR)
- mentioned for the first time on this blog : the Ondes Martenot, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ondes_Martenot
Is your story about Dark Ages, the year 869 and the Death of Al-Jahiz, an Arab scholar, who supposed to have been killed by his own library when shelves fell over on him, a metaphor for an unnamed family and their treasure of their lifetime - called The Vault “bernard” ? If yes - it´s a good one !
The Capital of the World ( i e a town with a hugue hinterland) has been shifting througout the centuries.
Summary : From Athens to Rome, Brugge, Amsterdam, London, NY, US West Coast.
Now? Shifting from US west coast to East Asia.
Just have a look at how South Koreans happen to be far ahead of their time.

Is this because “Fuck the Swedes” was the secret word/sentence in at least two ZpZ shows (Tilburg & Amsterdam)?
Never mind, I’m with you all the way!!

Wasn’t I already accused of being a “rentboy” in a previous posting, Barry? What are the laws in Sweden concerning such websites?

Anyway, so this is Sweden. Nice.
Barry and Co., I’m impressed by you all sticking to your guns. Good for you.

More than enough, I figure, scott. As for alienating fans, it’s sort of like shooing customers out of a record store now isn’t it?
By the way, love the meatballs here.

The shape of things to come?
Let’s for instance - one never knows where(s it’s good for - follow Attali’s reasoning. He’s a French Jew.
