  • Actually, I don't. But I could probably look up your journal entries and the slashdot cvs entries is I actually cared.

      I have a frighteningly large number of pudge-related RSS feeds in my Google Reader subscriptions, including a few that I scrape myself. The PudgeFeed is by no means complete. :) I'd be truly worried about myself for this if they weren't actually such a miniscule percentage of my total set of subscriptions. (And besides they were good exercises in screen scraping, HTML parsing, and feed generation.)

  • I remember the video for that song on MTV.
    And yes, that is Michael Jackson singing background vocals...

      Yes it is Rockwell and MJ, no, I wasn't listening to it. Well, except in my head. And that is how I knew it was MJ, because I could hear it in my head even though I've not heard the song in decades probably, and his voice is unmistakable.

      You can probably appreciate this: when I first saw the movie Twister, I knew nothing about the soundtrack at all, but this guitar riff comes in. Song I'd never heard before. And I said, "hey, that's Eddie Van Halen!" It was "Humans Being." Some voices -- whether human
      • Some voices -- whether human, guitar, whatever -- are just unique.
        Yup - add Zakk Wylde to that list - easy to pick out his guitar tone and use (overuse?) of artificial harmonics.
      • Two other guitarists who are instantly recognizable are Santana and The Edge from U2.
        • Santana: yes
          Edge: not so much.

          Add Angus Young to that list though.

            In the mid-80s The Edge was very recognizable, but he's been copied so much, and he doesn't do anything that hard to copy ...
            • I think U2 on the whole is very recognizable, but if only edge was playing, even in the heydey 80's, I don't think I could have picked him out from just another studio musician.
      • Tom Sholz's guitar is always instantly recognizable to me - more topical here because he's the ultimate nerd-engineer guitarist.

        And of course nobody's guitar sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughn's did with those heavy, heavy strings That guy had to have hands like a vice grip. I still find myself thinking of the music he'd have made the last 15 plus years if he were still around. Sigh.
