In the first recording I was in Cherokee park (an Olmsted park) and it wasn't nearly as intense as I expected. In that one I was parked on a hill and a bicycle zooms past. In the 2nd recording I was in an open area with isolated big trees and it was incredibly loud. My truck was on the side of the road with the microphone set on the toolbox. At some point a car drives past. It gives you a good idea of how loud it was. In a wave editor the pattern looks just like a pop song: http://www.psychicreform.com/Music/index.htm ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.

Anyone got any idea where to get the Quicktime codex needed to listen to the site? While you're at it could someone explain to me why you would post shit that can't be played by the stock player? I get an error saying the plug-in needed isn't available from the Quicktime server. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Climate change is altering our economy, environment, and way of life." -- Union of Concerned Scientists 12-2004 "Global warming is not happening..." -- Rush Limbaugh 11-2004

fav albums poll
by Michael Hlady 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Hard to put down concretely but, Favs 1) UFOrb 2) Orbvs Terrarum 3) Live93 4) Orblivion 5) Pomme Fritz Least played but still fun 1) ABTU 2) Cydonia 3) Bitches & Trainingwheels OFF TOPIC: Has anybody ever had an experience such as hallucinating on mushrooms at an outdoor rave/festival and coming to the conclusion that the music the dj was playing was actually a form of contact signal to outerspace and that some form of light beams (visible and multicolored) were being sent back to the location of the party from a star in the sky? My friend and I have each experienced something similar on seperate occasions a few years and several hundred kilometers apart without knowledge of the other's experience until years after the fact. All of it was taking as blasphemy at the time but now seems quite odd that it was common to both of us. The events were isolated and have not occurred with other shroom consumptions Just wondering, if not please disregard. BS remarks or critiquing not required.

I'm just listening to stuff from my new album and random selections from my hard drive when I'm hear in the house. Lots of NPR while I'm working. Music from a little boom box in the next room while you're wearing earplugs doesn't translate quite as readily as people talking. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Washington Post: Why do you think Osama Bin Laden has not been caught?

OFF TOPIC: Has anybody ever had an experience such as hallucinating on mushrooms at an outdoor rave/festival and coming to the conclusion that the music the dj was playing was actually a form of contact signal to outerspace and that some form of light beams (visible and multicolored) were being sent back to the location of the party from a star in the sky? My friend and I have each experienced something similar on seperate occasions a few years and several hundred kilometers apart without knowledge of the other's experience until years after the fact. All of it was taking as blasphemy at the time but now seems quite odd that it was common to both of us. The events were isolated and have not occurred with other shroom consumptions Just wondering, if not please disregard. BS remarks or critiquing not required. Peacout, MikeD DUDE! You were there too? Totally. I was like,... wow, y'know? : ) A friend of mine was tripping (like for the third day straight) in the desert outside of Austin and was totally convinced a spaceship came down and hovered over them while they were beating on logs or something. Once I saw neon women dancing to the killer tune playing in my head during Mardi Gras. They may have come from outer space. Hell, I hadn't slept for three days and had eaten... oh man, it must have been ten very strong doses of acid during that three days. At that point tripping had become second nature so extraterrestrial contact was to be expected. Mushrooms make me feel fuzzy. I've said too much. p.s.

Favorites: 1. Adventures American single cd release. I don't care if the longer versions are better, I wasn't listening to the 2cd version while laying in a wading pool on a Saturday afternoon while tripping balls on several hits of super clean acid. 2. Uforb 2cd set, especially the Blue Room mix... for similar reasons as above. 3. Orblivion just because it was the one that said, "Pick me!" when I looked at the cd shelf... What was in that weed? Antifavorites: 1. UFOff. Nothing like a big "fuck you" from a band to its American fans. The show in support was kind of like they pushed "play" on the cd and rented the dancing baby cgi. 2. Bicycles & Tricyclates. So it's got some nice moments. So does a cd of Acid loops. Never should have been released as an Orb album. It doesn't even vaguely approach the definition of "Orb album." 3. Orblivion just because it's freaking me out man! SHUT UP! Stupid talking cds... I'll scratch you, bitch! ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Washington Post: Why do you think Osama Bin Laden has not been caught? George W Bush: Because he's hiding.
