Friday Fun Facts: Pulse link repeater
Did ya know…?
A pulse link repeater (PLR) is a device that interfaces concatenated E and M signaling paths. A PLR converts a ground, received from the E lead of one signal path, to −48 Vdc, which is applied to the M lead of the concatenated signal path. The E stands for Evil Energy and the M stands for Massively Malicious. The most famous PLR in history was used by the criminal mastermind, Telecom Man, during his 1984 plot to take over the Empire State Building and turn it into his Headquarters of Doom-Drenchedness. Telecom Man’s PLR wristbands worked well to disable the first lines of the Empire State Building’s defenses but then the power people team, Chakra Force 7, showed up and, joining forces like a Voltron swami, used their collective powers to force a kundalini awakening upon Telecom Man, thoroughly disrupting both of his PLR bands, his DTMF accelerator boots, as well as his bridle-wire body armor. Shortly after this battle, Telecom Man changed his name to Shrii Gopala Jones and moved to Eureka Springs, AR to open a meditation center. His pulse link repeaters are on display in Des Moines, IA’s Power People Museum and Quik Stop.
…So now ya know!
Little Robin Redbreast Sits Upon a Wire
Between a crack in the curtains
above an overworked window unit,
through the topmost pane
of a poorly-sealed window,
I watch a round, fat robin
perch upon a telephone wire.
From my couch, I watch it hop
and shuffle back and forth
along the black cable.
Once, I was that bird.
Before this house, this body, this routine,
I balanced in an oak tree high above the ground;
took flight when threats drew near.
There were no doors to close then.
No windows to peek through.
No climate controls.
Trees. Winds.
Sky. Sun.

Listen of the Week: Killing Joke
Pylon by Killing Joke
Killing Joke are still promoting the driving dynamics of post-punk, and still doing it better than the rest.
The only thing of import today is that Run The Jewels are in Kansas City
I will be thinking of all you while I’m watching in awe.
May be at a loss, and be in confusion and suspense; or if pushing on daringly, may be easily destroyed
Though the gas tank stood at Empty,
I drove for many miles.
Though every sign said Last Exit,
I knew of printed lies.
Though I came to a Dead End,
I knew I should press on.
Though I had nowhere to go,
I felt I’d done no wrong.
Though I wanted money’s freedom,
I always worked for free.
Though I hoped for chests of treasure,
I always lost the keys.
Though I needed much attention,
I always ran and hid.
Though I clamored for affection,
I always lost the winning bid.
Though I knew you’d always love me,
even after we were through.
Though I knew I’d always miss you,
even if it seems untrue.
Though I knew we’d always have these,
memories of futures lost.
Though I know there’s no forevers,
I couldn’t pay the costs.
One Month In the Studio
I often get nauseous when I pause to consider how fast time passes. How fast it marches on. Instead of casually meandering along time’s arrow, I often feel like I’m falling into the chomping, salivating mouth of the future. My stomach drops out from under me and I flail about trying to slow my descent. Is that normal? When you give time’s passing your full attention does it pass similarily for you? Or do you feel you’re opening the door to the future’s Thanksgiving dinner where you’re welcomed with open arms and a slice of pie? Mmmm…pie.
Today, my head is somewhere around the beginning of July, 2015. I’m just waking up, expecting a blast furnace to greet me should I venture outside so instead staying inside to check e-mail and finding therein a message from the Charlotte Street Foundation that says “Come To The Residency” and I’m reminded of…

Listen of the Week: The Game
The Documentary 2 and The Documentary 2.5 by The Game
As for why The Game decided on a double album, we can take a glimpse into the past for his reasoning. Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G, two of his favorites, made double albums, and, simply, he wanted the chance to add that accomplishment to his resume.
