Book of Eli - Mourning Gloom[^]
Last weekend I spoke to a nice girl that I had known for years, but never actually talked to (friend of a sort-of-friend thing).
She was just doing some stuff for her band, Book of Eli (and no, it wasn't Eli I talked to, she's another friend of a friend of a friend). I've known the band for a while as well, but never really gave it a good listen.
Until last weekend, of course 
Enjoy (and I think some of you actually will!) 
P.S. You can check out their other stuff on Spotify[^] if you like

At this point we skip the music and go straight to "when are you guys getting married?".

Not anytime soon 
She's actually had a boyfriend for as long as I can remember

Yeah, I've heard of the movie, but never seen it.
The soundtrack, while not actually bad, doesn't really want to make me see it either

Sandor, I'm so relieved to hear you are talking with nice girls !
An interesting video, but, for me, it's so obvious the singer is trying (and failing) to hit notes below the bottom of her current vocal range limit ... I feel sorry for her.

Testosterone?
I don't think there's any anti-doping laws in the music industry - in fact, quite the contrary.
Problem solved!

I do that once in a while
It's just to bad they're all taken (married even) or not interested

I had a quick look, and one title caught my eye: Monitor Evolution of Possible Fans[^]
And two things struck me:
Look at the "context map" and it's ... um ... completely lacking in context!
And damn it! The StreetView icon doesn't work!

There are no streets on Mars; only canals.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's a great resource, thanks, of course it's nothing compared to what the Martians have shown me.

A lot of it looks like what passes for modern art around here.

I haven't got a clue - apart from the one you gave us, obviously, but that means nothing to me today...

While I have your ear - is there a way to find out who up or down votes a message ?

No, and that's by design to prevent retaliatory down vote wars.
Chris can find out, but he tells no-one!

Just ask, the person or persons will tell you.

What, individually?  It might take a while to post a message to each of the 12,425,544 of us ... and the culprit could just lie...
