Question (I guess for Ben W. or for Weiner): if I'm coming to Lou Harrison from the Sun City Girls and Harry Partch, what's a good starter discography?
I think it is true that you have to have a style of writing that is different and your own and people can tell that it is you from reading and telling that it is your style. Ben Wolfson sometimes says "style will out" and lots of times that is true, you do not even have to read someone's name to tell that it is them. So you can use lower-case and it does not even matter! Thoughts?
standpipe bridgeplate, welcome to unfogged! We should get you a fruit basket. But first, since we already have a Standpipe Bridgeplate, perhaps you'd like to choose a new pseudonym?
Stanley Brothers!

You're a local? I really need to hang out here more often. I get so freakin' confused about who's who. I'd probably be funnier if I did too.
Have fun, wish I could stay up that late. . .

Of course you would do your show just during the hours when I was sleeping.

Can I comment from my cool new phone? I think so. Let's see.

Apparent success!

But if Chris and chris are not the same, how do we know Becks is becks?

Now that I have successfully executed a proof of concept, becks will likely become Becks.

That is very wise, Standpipe Bridgeplate. And also anyone trying to comment as "becks" wouldn't last long before getting a cease and desist..
Posted by Becks | Link to this comment | 04- 7-06 9:59 PM
Would that go for all similar variants?

I've always wondered who ogged thought this was.

I guess I am not lucky but how funny is it that there is an upper case one? My new one is different I hope it is OK.

It was not OK someone said but I know this one is different enough.

It's a good thing no one's impersonating me to make pathetically unfunny comments.
