Today I have done very little because it is
Christmas Eve, so I thought after managing to get a bit of drumming uploaded on
to Youtube yesterday I would have another go today. But this was a much older
piece of music, you see years ago before the Ghost Writer was a Ghost Writer he
was just a Ghost and he made an album. It was his strange reclusive band Sound and the Drum Machine that consisted of
just him because he is too grumpy to play with other people, but he discovered
that musicy folk all thought they should get free stuff and in general people
did not want to actually pay for their music. And bare in mind this is quite a
long time ago before the days of the instant downloads to an ipod. So the Ghost
Writer did something that was good but also bad, yes he decided to sell his album
for £125.00 on the internet, it was good because the Ghost Writer would say to
people that he has the most expensive CD in the world, and it cheered him up
lots. However it was bad because no one would buy it after all the public are
not entirely mad (well I don’t think so).
So this is track three (chimes) from Sound and the Drum Machine’s, The
Album of Dark Tales and Blues. It had a very cool looking CD and makes a
brilliant coaster for your coffee
I will be taking tomorrow
off so will not be posting a diary entry but I wish everyone a Happy Christmas
and New Year and hope everyone has a good 2013, although I am sure the world is
due to End in June of July if I remember rightly. . . . . ..
The Ghost Writer
Ooh that was quite zen and wind-chiming. (which is just another way to say relaxing)

DeleteI have a qUestion: I wonder how mUch energy it takes to rUn jUst the movement of data throUgh the Internet, the entire thing, not inclUding the servers that store the info or the compUters that people Use on each end. JUst the movement of the data and any roUting eqUipment.
ReplyDeleteAs with any Christmas holiday I got to eXperience a (few) bizarre moments. I also diid some minor sculpture work putting whipped topping on my pumpkin pie. Do you have pumpkin pie in the UK? I then ate the piece of pie with a knife just for the thriLL of it. We have had a minor amount of snow today. It is the coldest day of this winter so far. I am off for a nap and or reading biochernistry.
Nor sure what the answer to the first question is, I suspect it may depend on the amount of overall data moving at any one time so if all of a sudden say everyone in Britain needs to find out statistical data on pumpkin pie at the same time then there will be a definite increase in data energy use.
DeleteI don't think many eat pumpkin pie in the UK although I do know a few who do.
Snow on Christmas day Mr ESB you are lucky as we have only had rain.
Enjoy the nap and science (biochernistry). Hope all is well.
Dear Rob
ReplyDeleteA Merry X'Mas to you, and to Mum, and Dad, and Dog, and Ghost Writer [who was earlier only a Ghost (and an aspiring Musician)].
God, how do you come up with these ideas? :)
The trick is to start writing with an open mind and look at each days events in an alternative way. We should never suppress the imagination.
DeleteHope you are well
