My only complaint: The drums are too loud.

FREE AND LEGAL BACH!

Wow! SDG is offering free clips from Gardiner's monumental recordings of the Bach Sacred cantatas.

http://www.solideogloria.co.uk/recordings/index.cfm

Go to this page. Click on the pic of each cover and you will see where you can stream certain selections. Just click there and your PC will download the music. You will need Real Player but you can get it free and safely. (After you download all you like, just look in the lower right of your screen and click "Show Downloads" so you can find your clips and move them to your music folder, if you like.)

Look at those gorgeous covers reflecting man's beautiful diversity. Bach's music and those photos make me feel ashamed my tax dollars are sometimes used to kill and maim people.

Two things on my "must buy as soon as I get bills caught up list":

1. The extended version of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" film trilogy.

2. Gardiner's SDG set of the Bach cantatas.

I only have a tiny complaint: This clips are usually slower bits and I prefer the lively choral sections. But these are beautifully done. Gardiner clearly loves and respect's Bach's genius.

There may be 5 hours of music here!

Poor Fred.

Nordic Ware Microwave Corn Popper

I bought one of these for two or three reasons. A bag of raw popping corn is much cheaper and more healthful than those greasy, salty microwave bags. This pops with NO OIL at all. One warning: It gets hot so be careful when removing it from the microwave. Plus the bottom of the popper stays hot for a half-hour or so. If you use it as a bowl, don't place it in your lap.

It's plastic so don't overcook the kernels.

"Carnivale"

Amazon sent my new set of Season Two discs so Iast night I saw the episode I couldn't watch because #6 was damaged. It's been a while since I watched Season One so I thought I would start it tonight. Slow... but sensational. I love the final scene of Episode One. I have seen this entire series at least three times and I'm still amazed by some of it. HBO was supposed to give them six seasons but they lost viewers and the show was expensive. That's easy to believe. Each installment looks like a feature film. Most of the acting is superb. Like "Let The Right One" in, this is wholly un-glamorous but beautiful.

"Cow Patti"

From Jim Stafford's "Cow Patti":

Forty shots rang out.

Forty people fell.

Patti and the killer missed each other

But they shot that town to hell.

- Those words still crack me up. I was thinking about "True Grit" and remembered those lyrics.

Do mothers have super-hearing???

Punguin laughed. "Where else would Happy Feet be???"

Where are you, Mr. HF???

Update 11 Sep 11 - Why are there no new Happy Feet updates since 2011-09-08 20:11? The satellite that tracks Happy Feet is currently not working due to a spate of Solar Flares over the last 4 days. We will keep you updated with any changes.

Spot the mistake. (It should be easy.)
