The <a href="http://mathgeeks.org/">Might Means Right</a> album is in heavy, heavy rotation. Production is awesome. Song writing is tight and melodic. Even Artwork rocks the Cover Flow. Which reminds me to ask the general audience.... where are the BSA covers? I made Shopper's World and can email it... as well as scanned Tart... I've uploaded stock BSA logos.....

]]> Comment on Queen and Bowie by zim http://technopop.org/2007/12/04/queen-and-bowie/#comment-1939 Tue, 04 Dec 2007 18:03:04 +0000 http://technopop.org/2007/12/04/queen-and-bowie/#comment-1939 from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_Pressure): There has been some confusion about who created the song's famous bassline. John Deacon said (in Japanese magazine Musiclife in 1982, and in the previously mentioned French magazine) that David Bowie had created it. In more recent interviews, Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor have credited the bass riff to Deacon; Bowie also said on his website that the bassline was already written before he became involved. The bassline may have an even earlier source – it bears striking resemblance to the first theme of the third movement of Sibelius' first symphony of 1898. In any case, the September 2005 edition of online music magazine Stylus singled out the bassline as the best in popular music history. from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_Pressure):

As one of the commenters at the linked site says, it seems more apropos of Dubai than Chicago. And I share another commenter's sense that the height would work better if the building weren't on the lake shore. Do. Not. Like.
