Now, a few more thoughts I had on syncopation. Since, apparently, people are actually reading this.

Duuu-uh!

That's why I asked! Thanks for the helpful information. I did know what it was, technically. I did know why it worked, technically (cause it grooves, man). But that was not a very satisfying answer. Much help from you, many thanks.

what a great thread, Flint, BigV!

Heeeey... wait a minute. If none of us knows anything about it, how do we know he's not lying to us, to protect the great Syncopation Secret Conspiracy of the Secret Syncopation Secret Society?

Just kidding, good job Flint.

Hey Flint, just a question...

What do you think of Carl Palmer?

He's strong, a beast. Monsterous single-stroke chops, always pushing the beat.

I have a b00tleg DVD of the "Carl Palmer" band, which is an instrumental trio of Palmer and two young, unknown guys with crazy chops. They play in high gear the whole time. Palmer is one of these guys that appearantly doesn't age like regular humans.

Palmer has a whole kit made of Paiste cymbal alloy! Can you imagine how much those bass drums weigh?

Something else I don't know... how do those foaming hand soap dispensers aerate the liquid soap?

elSicomoro · 07-31-2007, 04:01 PM

Like this, apparently.

Heh.

elSicomoro · 07-31-2007, 04:03 PM

Here's another explanation.

Stuff be heavier than tha' water?

Why do hot chicks like greasy assholes?

I suppose they find that lubrication helps.

Ibby · 08-01-2007, 05:00 PM

My mom worships Palmer, and in fact claims that he's better than peart.
I aaaalmost agree with her, there, but... peart's better by a small but definite margin.

Stuff I don't know:

Why am I sometimes overcome with a overwhelming sense of tiredness in the mid afternoon? It's like I've been drugged. I can't keep my eyes open. This happens once or twice a week, around 1 or 2 or so. It lasts for about 15-20 minutes. The heavy energy sapping tiredness is so powerful, I almost fall asleep at my desk sometimes. I have been startled awake before. It's frightening.

You eat too many carbs. Ogg need meat diet.

Are you pregnant? Happened to me every day at work when I was. I'd put my head down on my desk and take a little nap. Seriously. My boss would tell anyone who walked by that I was 'incubating'.

For real though, you should give the book "YOU, On a Diet" a browsing. It's not a 'diet' book so much as a biology lesson about how our digestive system works in concert with our brains through hormonal signals, and how the food we put into us affects that balance.

I suspect, like Griff, that your current levels of stress combined with less than ideal diet is giving you that 1:00 slump. This book does a wonderful job explaining the hormones and cycles that they go through depending on your emotions/stress/sleep/diet and how your waist and energy levels are thusly affected.

It's backed by the Discovery channel, and I personally found nothing to question in it. I am in the process of trying to get the whole family on a better diet using the stuff I learned in it.

Good luck!
