  <description>Véronique était &quot;en analyse&quot;, comme on dit aujourd&apos;hui, je regrette de l&apos;avoir rencontrée. Plus généralement, il n&apos;y a rien à tirer des femmes en analyse. Une femme tombée entre les mains des psychanalystes devient définitivement impropre à tout usage, je l&apos;ai maintes fois constaté. Ce phénomène ne doit pas être considéré comme un effet secondaire de la psychoanalyse, mais bel et bien comme son but principal. Sous couvert de reconstruction du moi, les psychoanalystes procèdent en réalité à une scandaleuse destruction de l&apos;être humain. Innocence, générosité, pureté ... tout cela est rapidement broyé entre leurs mains grossières. Les psychoanalystes, grassement rémunérés, prétentieux et stupides, anéantissent définitivement chez leurs soi-disant patientes toute aptitude d&apos;amour, aussi bien mental que physique; ils se comportent en fait en véritables ennemis de l&apos;humanité. Impitoyable école d&apos;égoîsme, la psychanalyse s&apos;attaque avec le plus grand cynisme à de braves filles un peu paumées pour les transformer en d&apos;ignobles pétasses, d&apos;un égocentrisme délirant, qui ne peuvent plus susciter qu&apos;un légitime dégoût. Il ne faut accorder aucune confiance, en aucun cas, à une femme passée entre les mains des psychanalystes. Mesquinerie, égoîsme, sottise arrogante,&amp;nbsp; absence complète de ses moral, incapacité chronique d&apos;aimer: voilà le portrait exhaustif d&apos;une femme &quot;analysée&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Véronique correspondait, il faut le dire, trait pour trait, à cette description ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un soir que Véronique était absente, j&apos;ai avalé un flacon de Largactyl. Pris de panique, j&apos;ai ensuite appelé les pompiers. Il a fallu m&apos;emmener en urgence à l&apos;hôpital, me faire un lavage d&apos;estomac, etc. Bref, j&apos;ai bien failli y passer. Cette salope (comment la qualifier autrement?) n&apos;est même pas venue me voir à l&apos;hôpital. Lors de mon retour &quot;à la maison&quot;, si l&apos;on peut dire, tout ce qu&apos;elle a trouvé comme mots de bienvenue c&apos;est que j&apos;étais un égoîste doublé d&apos;un minable; son interprétation de l&apos;événement, c&apos;est que je m&apos;ingéniais à lui causer des soucis supplémentaires, elle &quot;qui avait déjà assez à faire avec ses problèmes de boulot&quot;. L&apos;ignoble garce a même ajouté que je tentaus de me livrer à un &quot;chantage affectif&quot;; quand j&apos;y pense, je regrette de ne pas lui avoir tailladé les ovaires. Enfin, c&apos;est du passé ...</description>

  <title>Biochemistry: Of Mice and Eggs</title>

  <description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.groove.nl/cd/1/gfx/16146.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve begun to voraciously learn biochemistry. I knew only bits of it before, and by this time even these bits have got obliterated in my memory. Now my excitement over the science of life is genuine, quite in contrast to my earlier attempts to show some interest in it under pressure. And as it happened with some other things (literature, for example) I must say I am very happy that I didn&apos;t get properly involved in biochemistry earlier. Thus I had ample time to learn mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer disciplines, and what is even more important, after all these years of hardcore science my mind has steeped enough to reach the appropriate condition :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <description>Товарищи, ну как же далеко простерла свои руки цивилизация! Все вокруг тебя уже давно замечено, изучено, описано и опубликовано. Все бабочки, все простые физические, химические и физиологические явления, даже любой минерал и мельчайшая косточка спинного хребта какого-нибудь явайского каймана! Я тут читал про Паскаля Ругона у Золя и охватила меня такая тоска ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Читать фрагмент здесь&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   	 	 	 	 	 	 	Rien au moral ni au physique ne rappelait les Rougon chez Pascal. Grand, le visage doux et sévère, il avait une droiture d&apos;esprit, un amour de l&apos;étude, un besoin de modestie, qui contrastaient singulièrement avec les fièvres d&apos;ambition et les menées peu scrupuleuses de sa famille. Après avoir fait à Paris d&apos;excellentes études médicales, il s&apos;était retiré à Plassans par goût, malgré les offres de ses professeurs. Il aimait la vie calme de la province&amp;nbsp;; il soutenait que cette vie est préférable pour un savant au tapage parisien. Même à Plassans, il ne s&apos;inquiéta nullement de grossir sa clientèle. Très sobre, ayant un beau mépris pour la fortune, il sut se contenter des quelques malades que le hasard seul lui envoya. Tout son luxe consista dans une petite maison claire de la ville neuve, où il s&apos;enfermait religieusement, s&apos;occupant avec amour d&apos;histoire naturelle. Il se prit surtout d&apos;une belle passion pour la physiologie. On sut dans la ville qu&apos;il achetait souvent des cadavres au fossoyeur de l&apos;hospice, ce qui le fit prendre en horreur par les dames délicates et certains bourgeois poltrons. On n&apos;alla pas heureusement jusqu&apos;à le traiter de sorcier&amp;nbsp;; mais sa clientèle se restreignit encore, on le regarda comme un original auquel les personnes de la bonne société ne devaient pas confier le bout de leur petit doigt, sous peine de se compromettre. On entendit la femme du maire dire un jour&amp;nbsp;: &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;«&amp;nbsp;J&apos;aimerais mieux mourir que de me faire soigner par ce monsieur. Il sent le mort.&amp;nbsp;» Pascal, dès lors, fut jugé. Il parut heureux de cette peur sourde qu&apos;il inspirait. Moins il avait de malades, plus il pouvait s&apos;occuper de ses chères sciences. Comme il avait mis ses visites à un prix très modique, le peuple lui demeurait fidèle. Il gagnait juste de quoi vivre, et vivait satisfait, à mille lieues des gens du pays, dans la joie pure de ses recherches et de ses découvertes. De temps à autre, il envoyait un mémoire à l&apos;Académie des sciences de Paris.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Plassans ignorait absolument que cet original, ce monsieur qui sentait le mort, fût un homme très connu et très écouté du monde savant. Quand on le voyait, le dimanche, partir pour une excursion dans les collines des Garrigues, une boîte de botaniste pendue au cou et un marteau de géologue à la main, on haussait les épaules, on le comparait à tel autre docteur de la ville, si bien cravaté, si mielleux avec les dames et dont les vêtements exhalaient toujours une délicieuse odeur de violette. Pascal n&apos;était pas davantage compris par ses parents. Lorsque Félicité lui vit arranger sa vie d&apos;une façon si étrange et si mesquine, elle fut stupéfaite et lui reprocha de tromper ses espérances. Elle qui tolérait les paresses d&apos;Aristide, qu&apos;elle croyait fécondes, ne put voir sans colère le train médiocre de Pascal, son amour de l&apos;ombre, son dédain de la richesse, sa ferme résolution de rester à l&apos;écart. Certes, ce ne serait pas cet enfant qui contenterait jamais ses vanités!» Mais d&apos;où sors-tu&amp;nbsp;? lui disait-elle parfois. Tu n&apos;es pas à nous. Vois tes frères, ils cherchent, ils tâchent de tirer profit de l&apos;instruction que nous leur avons donnée. Toi, tu ne fais que des sottises. Tu nous récompenses bien mal, nous qui nous sommes ruinés pour t&apos;élever. Non, tu n&apos;es pas à nous.&amp;nbsp;» Pascal, qui préférait rire chaque fois qu&apos;il avait à se fâcher, répondait gaiement, avec une fine ironie&amp;nbsp;:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;«&amp;nbsp;Allons, ne vous plaignez pas, je ne veux point vous faire entièrement banqueroute&amp;nbsp;: je vous soignerai tous pour rien, quand vous serez malades.&amp;nbsp;» D&apos;ailleurs, il voyait sa famille rarement, sans afficher la moindre répugnance, obéissant malgré lui à ses instincts particuliers. Avant qu&apos;Aristide fut entré à la sous-préfecture, il vint plusieurs fois à son secours. Il était resté garçon. Il ne se douta seulement pas des graves événements qui se préparaient. Depuis deux ou trois ans, il s&apos;occupait du grand problème de l&apos;hérédité, comparant les races animales à la race humaine, et il s&apos;absorbait dans les curieux résultats qu&apos;il obtenait. Les observations qu&apos;il avait faites sur lui et sur sa famille avaient été comme le point de départ de ses études. Le peuple comprenait si bien, avec son intuition inconsciente, à quel point il différait des Rougon, qu&apos;il le nommait M.&amp;nbsp;Pascal, sans jamais ajouter son nom de famille.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вот скажем, родился б я, скажем, лет 200 назад - только подай рукой ... Сколько неизведанного, нового для познания! Любую мушку поймай, под микроскоп положи ... Хочешь - изучай химические отложения на дне старых винных бутылок, хочешь - проводи опыты с электричеством, хочешь - смотри в небо и открывай новые звезды! А теперь ...? Только продукты человеческой деятельности и можно изучать, только их-то везде и предостаточно.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Вот, может быть, список того неизведанного в огромной степени, что было произведено природой и что ждет своего изучения:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- морские и подземные глубины (но до них почти невозможно добраться)&lt;br /&gt;- космические объекты - кометы, планеты, их спутники, звезды, галактики и пр. ... (но до них еще тяжелее добраться, а то что видно с Земли, уже вдоль и поперек изучено)&lt;br /&gt;- механизмы биологических реакций, функции и работа протеинов (тут поле непаханое, это правда) &lt;br /&gt;- редкие, малоописанные, или неописанные человеческие языки (они были произведены природой а не человеком; опять-таки, тяжело добраться до носителей)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Может, что нибудь ещё? Возможно, следующе:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- математические структуры, скажем в алгебре (они, будем считать, существуют вне человеческого сознания)&lt;br /&gt;- физические законы&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;но никто не знает сколько этих структур и законов осталось неоткрытых. Пока новинки в этой области в современной теоретической науке появляются довольно редко.</description>

  <title>KVAZAR, &quot;A Giant&apos;s Lullaby&quot;</title>
  <link>http://prog-squirrel.livejournal.com/44205.html</link>
  <description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.kvazar.deaya.com/images/cover.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;**** out of *****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51);&quot;&gt;     This review is after the following CD release: Musea FGBG 4476.AR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think it is on the cover of this Norwegian album? Solaris (everybody remembers his Stanislaw Lem?)! Very probable, isn&apos;t it? Especially given the band&apos;s name and the cosmic themes inside the booklet (stars, nebulae, galaxies). I got this album solely on the basis of the reviews here and I am not disappointed. Lush keyboards, complex, very tasty instrumental parts: just what I expected from a modern Scandinavian band which tries to sound &quot;retro&quot; (the Scandinavians know how to do it, don&apos;t they?) The first instrumental track, &quot;Flight of Shamash&quot; immediately sets the mood, being an ambitious great opener. &quot;Choir of life&quot; which follows features an unusual rhythm, female vocals, mandolin and flute further confirms that KVAZAR is not a light &quot;recreational&quot; band. These guys are pretty serious and certainly aiming high. The rest of the tracks are very exciting too. For example, I&apos;d easily point out &quot;Desert blues&quot; as a fine specimen of modern jazz (you can feel an ingenious mix of symphonic and jazz prog throughout the album). The music on this album deserves solid four stars, but for some annoying details (which I will discuss below) I wanted to give this album three. Then I perceived that non-musical factors, albeit vexing, hardly make an album descend from the &quot;excellent addition ...&quot; to the &quot;non-essential&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bands whose mother tongue is not English, don&apos;t try to sing in English! Are you concerned about sales, thinking of the popularity of English? The history has witnessed what happens to music when the musicians start thinking about reaching wider audiences at an expense of their sound. &quot;A Giant&apos;s Lullaby&quot; is a good example when the band should have stuck to its native Norwegian. The singing in English is not only unimpressive (although there&apos;s nothing wrong with the vocals themselves) but also embarrassing at times. How do you like the ending of a song whose final words are the distinct &quot;But it gonna [sic] die&quot;? The verb &quot;is&quot; is also absent from the lyrics in the booklet. And what about such slips as &quot;gitar [sic]&quot;, &quot;Soon I gonna [sic] leave this world&quot; (another song-ending phrase), &quot;Sometimes you won&apos;t understand what happends [sic]&quot;, and &quot;Sometimes you really tries [sic]&quot; (one more last phrase in a song)?  All these linguistic errors make the album look slightly unprofessional. But this hardly damages the music which remains an excellent addition to any prog collection.             &lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top: 10px; color: rgb(136, 136, 136); text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>Après avoir échoué en poésie, M. de Beaufort avait essayé de la peinture. Il dessinait avec du charbon les traits du cardinal, et, comme ces talents assez médiocres en cet art ne lui permettaient pas d&apos;atteindre à une grande ressemblance, pour ne pas laisser de doute sur l&apos;original du portrait, il écrivait au-dessous &apos;&lt;i&gt;Ritratto dell`illustrissimo facchino Mazarini&lt;/i&gt;&apos;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Вау, если в гугле по-русски ввести &quot;Англагард&quot; то, как ни странно, обнаруживаются &quot;наши&quot; люди которые знают что это такое. Хотя по-русски должно звучать ближе к Энглагорд. Но с языками после советского периода у нас традиционно плохо.)</description>

  <description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.kcna.co.jp/images/flag-dprk.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several years ago I came across the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm&quot;&gt;KCNA website&lt;/a&gt;, which is the official North Korean internet news agency. When I first read a few short articles on that website, I could hardly believe they weren&apos;t somebody&apos;s monstrous joke (especially when you notice that KCNA is hosted in Japan). Even now, KCNA reminds you of those early days of internet when all the websites relied on the same primitive layout which differed only in the font colour and the background image. But it&apos;s not the appearance but the content of the articles which makes you incredulous over all the KCNA website. The articles consist of short text messages having no illustrations or authorship indicated. A typical headline story may be titled &quot;Glorious Korean scientists reveal the revolutionary cure for many diseases&quot;, or &quot;Our firm response to American aggressors&quot;, or &quot;Kim Jong Il gives guidance to Korean farmers&quot;. Likewise, the texts of the articles abound in such lofty epithets as &quot;our wise leader Kim John Il&quot;, &quot;sly and crafty Western imperialists&quot;, and &quot;the triumph of Korean socialism&quot;. When the relations between North Korea and the West were at their lowest, the news reports, denouncing the &quot;evil acts of capitalist dogs directed against peaceful and prosperous nation of North Korea&quot; were especially entertaining. Just check out some of the website&apos;s archives from of 2002 or 2003.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Central_News_Agency&quot;&gt;Wikipedia article about KCNA&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

  <title>Stanislaw Lem, &quot;Return from the Stars&quot;</title>
  <link>http://prog-squirrel.livejournal.com/40535.html</link>
  <description>&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(128, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&quot;Powrót z gwiazd&quot;: translated from Polish by Barbara Marszal and Frank Simpson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Return to the Earth from a cosmic expedition. 127 years elapsed on Earth but the astronauts aged by only 10.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The year in the future is never explicitly mentioned.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Substantial technological advances on Earth: urban planning, architecture, mechanical devices (robots, cars), new clothes, interplanetary travel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Still no personal computers, mobile phones, internet, electronic banking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Basic existence (food, dwelling, clothes) is free.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A license is needed for reproduction.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Long cosmic expeditions are abandoned as pointless (so many years on Earth would pass when the astronauts come back... )&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Betrization: a new molecular biology technique administered at birth which sharply reduces aggressiveness in humans and animals. This technique leads to the inability to kill or physically harm any living organism because such a thought or impulse never occurs to the enactor. Betrizated males, when in presence of females, drink a special potion in order to suppress their sexual function.&amp;nbsp; Subsequently, betrizated organisms tend to avoid all risk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Parastatics: a further development of general relativity which enables one to overcome gravity at acceleration.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Progressive element: an encounter of two astronauts on the surface of a planetoid. One of the astronauts has apparently acquired another mode of thinking (intelligence?). [Although later the incident is explained by the stopped clock; although, not everything is clear]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - &apos;What have you been doing all this time?&apos; I asked ...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - &apos;Different things,&apos; he said. &apos;And what have you been doing, Tom&apos;?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - &apos;What Tom?&apos; I asked and went cold, because Alder had been dead for a year and he knew that very well.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - &apos;But you&apos;re Tom, aren&apos;t you? I recognize your voice.&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ... &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - &apos;Where is your pistol?&apos;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; - &apos;I lost it when I died,&apos; he said. &apos;A dead man doesn&apos;t need a pistol&apos;.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ... he put his face close to mine, so that I could see him through the double glass, and shouted, &apos;You bastard! You tricked me! You&apos;re alive!&apos; - and he shot me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Progressive element: astronaut training - Ghost Palace, the Wringer and the Coronation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

  <title>Tony Blair speaks French</title>

  <description>I learnt my British accent from him ... and perhaps he speaks British slightly better than me in the end (especially after my long sojourn in US) , but I am sure I outmatch him in French :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://youtube.com/watch?v=xrw5YgWC0rs&quot;&gt;http://youtube.com/watch?v=xrw5YgWC0rs&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;         &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Oh, I can&apos;t read this! This brings tears to my eyes ... :) I remember how I discovered &quot;Seconds Out&quot; myself when I was 17 ... Bought a strange double CD for 12 hryvnas at a pirate CD shop ... The CD said it was GENESIS, but I never heard of this album before. I checked if I were making some mistake - but no ... all the right names: Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Phil Collins ... (I did not know who the others were at that time) And when I brought it home it changed my life too. I felt I instantly became miles on top of my unsuspecting friends with this transcendental, almost divine knowledge ...&lt;/font&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s5923.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28 of 28 people found the following review helpful:       &lt;/div&gt;       &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;         &lt;span style=&quot;margin-left: -5px;&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;64&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://g-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/customer-reviews/stars-5-0._V47081849_.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;         &lt;b&gt;And ya can&apos;t even see the light show!!!&lt;/b&gt;, May 5, 2005       &lt;/div&gt;       &lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;         &lt;table cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;By&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AWSIZJ6P0ALWE/ref=cm_cr_auth/102-8702237-1404940&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Neil S.

Don&apos;t you just love overenthusiastic statements like that? Well, I remember sneaking into my brother&apos;s room when he was out, snatching a copy of Second&apos;s Out from his turntable, putting on the headphones, listening to it from start to finish in the dark, while looking out the window waiting for his car to pull back into our driveway, so I&apos;d have enough time to run back into his room (still in the dark) and place it back onto his turntable at exactly the right axis he left it at. If the inside record label was even slightly too much to the right, I was always paranoid that he&apos;d find out I was playing his records again and he&apos;d yell at me! He was 8 years older than me and much bigger! He was an avid prog-rock fan and had dozens of albums, and treated them all like gold. &lt;br /&gt;ELP was my first love and I thought no other band could amaze me so much, until my brother bought Second&apos;s Out and I heard it playing in his room all of the time. I was too young and poor at 13 and my mother wouldn&apos;t buy albums for me because she thought I&apos;d scratch them all, so I would listen to my brother&apos;s. &lt;br /&gt;Second&apos;s Out, from the Chester Thompson stick-click count off into Squonk, to the very exhausting end of Los Endos, was nearly a spiritual album for me. It was the first time I heard magic on a record. Like being a child and hearing fairy tales, but now being older and hearing how they would sound. I was unaware of even who Peter Gabriel was, so I had no compunction about calling Phil my favorite singer and the only one for these songs...</description>
