I think I've mentioned before how much I love Prince ever since I was a little kid. Well, I finally got to see him in concert in Chicago last Tuesday! It was the greatest concert I have ever been to. At $175 a pop, I almost didn't pull the trigger on buying the tickets, but the three shows sold out less than 2 hours and someone offered me $250 a piece right after I bought six. After attending I would have paid $300 for my ticket, it was that good. He looks, moves and sounds exactly the same as 25 years ago, astounding. It amazes me that during the finale he had the audience do all of the singing for him, he had us in the palm of his hand for over 2 hours. Check it out before he makes YT take it down :). The quality and close ups get better at about 2:30 in, and guitar solo at about 8 in...

Edit: He already took down that video, but you can't stop YT. Here's the concert opener:

I might have liked this if he had given me a chance. :neutral:

I know. Last week there were about 500 great videos of the three concert spree he gave here, and today I find only two and of much poorer quality. He's got to have a full-time team of geeks that just go around the net to take anything down that he didn't authorize. Here's your last chance! Start about 2 mins in...

[h=1]Watch 32 discordant metronomes achieve synchrony in a matter of minutes[/h]
Robert T. Gonzalez

If you place 32 metronomes on a static object and set them rocking out of phase with one another, they will remain that way indefinitely. Place them on a moveable surface, however, and something very interesting (and very mesmerizing) happens.
The metronomes in this video fall into the latter camp. Energy from the motion of one ticking metronome can affect the motion of every metronome around it, while the motion of every other metronome affects the motion of our original metronome right back. All this inter-metranome "communication" is facilitated by the board, which serves as an energetic intermediary between all the metronomes that rest upon its surface. The metronomes in this video (which are really just pendulums, or, if you want to get really technical, oscillators) are said to be "coupled."
The math and physics surrounding coupled oscillators are actually relevant to a variety of scientific phenomena, including the transfer of sound and thermal conductivity. For a much more detailed explanation of how this works, and how to try it for yourself, check out this excellent video by condensed matter physicist Adam Milcovich.

...only the hardcore shall click play. "Mana Mana" keeps in line with Heis' initial plan of maintaining a religious(ish) tone to the thread :razz:

That dude is tweaked out of his mind! The sunglasses, the hair, and he's wearing a green bathroom rug. I used to watch this and sing it with my son when he was six, nostalgia...

P.S. By the by, Eye, thanks for turning me onto Soul Coughing. I don't know how I missed them in the 90s, but I'm really digging their stuff now...

I'm going to learn to sing/play acoustic guitar and my little brothers girlfriend is going to play the piano (she is extremely talented) for this song, it's going to be my girlfriends Christmas present. I really like it.

^^ Awesome, Zaehet! She's going to love it. That guitar riff at the end seems a little complex. There's only a little guitar in the piece, but you could easily learn the bass part that's played throughout the piece. When you guys get it down, post it somewhere so we can listen ;) Back it my 20s when I was poor, instead of taking them out I'd invite women to my place where I'd make them dinner and play them some romantic pieces on the violin that I told them I learned just for them (yeah, right). I have over a 90% panties-off success rate with this technique...

...it's funny to go back and watch these, you get to see how much mj influences just about everything media!

...Soul Coughing, wow, my friend introduced me to their music back then - still listen just about every day!

Fiona Apple has been my favorite female artist ever since I saw her Sleep to Dream video on MTV way back when. She's so sexy, and tortured and talented, and her songs speak to something really deep inside me. I especially love her amazing lyrics. I know it's been out for a while, but it's been a very busy summer for me and I just got a chance to download her new album. It's been 7 fucking years since the last one, and I think this one was worth the wait. Check her out -

Along with Skrew, one of my favorite industrial metal acts from the 90's. Both bands were from Texas. Unfortunately neither Skatenigs nor Skrew went on to make better albums. Skatenigs disbanded after this, and Skrew switched to melodic thrash metal around the same time. It wasn't long before most industrial metal petered out. I really wish the genre would have progressed along the sound of these two bands.
