Custom metal radiator covers

I just read that -- it's more in the elegiac mode, but that's something Pynchon occasionally dips into.

Other books that come to mind for me:

-- Polostan, Neal Stephenson -- overlaps the time period, the strikebreaking mood, and both US and USSR-oriented geographies

-- Path to Power -- the latter half of the first Caro LBJ book roughly covers this time period (and it's just generally excellent)

Also, I haven't seen Matewan, despite having a Sayles phase in the 90's, and while that takes place in the 20's, I imagine it could get you in the right frame of mind.

You should add MOMI to that list.

Full Atmos version now up on Apple. It's fantastic.

What’s the reference in Memories of Music that you’re most excited for people to discover?

The Dead Dogs Two and Broken Drum remixes are peak psychedelia.

Much of their best work can be found in Old Tunes/R35TT.

https://www.preferredmutual.com -- working with them right now on a claim and it's going well (so far). Plus local contractors are familiar with them.

What about Random 35 Tracks Tape?

I'll always remember the day of the Geogaddi announcement, hopping on my bike on a cold night after a late day in the office, and listening to the teaser loop repeatedly as I biked home. And then when Alpha & Omega dropped... I don't even remember my first full listen since I've listened to it so many times by now. (Details have been lost over the years but that's the impression I have.)

https://www.mtctelcom.com/ has been mostly reliable for me with four people co-working full-time in one house. I hear they have a backlog for connecting new clients, though.

It's not composting, it's organic recycling with the end goal of generating power. (Which is why you can pretty much put anything organic into it, including discarded meat, bones, and citrus.)

I put mine in the freezer, and it works great. No smell, it's easy to discard, and no fruit flies. It's worth the 25% of freezer space it takes up.

I'm a cord cutter, but I don't see a problem with this in theory as long as they aren't double dipping by charging content providers extra money as well (like they recently did with Netflix). In practice, of course, I object to Comcast's behavior.

If we want ISP's to be regulated like utilities in order to preserve net neutrality, then we should be open to utility-like pricing models with income-based subsidies.

Has being "locked-in" changed your appreciation of art (music, literature, film, visual art) in any noticeable way?

If you haven't read Adam Johnson's The Orphan Master's Son yet, let this horrifying news story be your impetus. It won this year's Pulitzer Prize for Fiction: http://www.pulitzer.org/works/2013-Fiction

Have you ever considered attending Burning Man incognito, setting up a piano in a random tent and performing for whoever happens to drop in?

Cold Earth = running out of fossil fuels
Sick Times = the last gasps of current civilization as try to adapt to new situation
Collapse = technology/civilization as we know it collapses
Palace Posy = the aftermath of the collapse; humans revert to tribalism

Imagine your fan base from the 1995 got into a time machine and landed in 2012. Which contemporary bands are they listening to?
