  • First of all, our red is your blue and our blue is your red, but also our reds are bluer than your blues, but even our blues are bluer than your reds are, and we also have oranges that are bluer than our reds are, which also means they’re bluer than your blues are, and also we have like a navy blue that is particular to Quebec and it’s bluer than our reds are and also therefore bluer than your blues, and also we have a small group of greens, and they’re kinda bluer than our reds are, which also means they’re bluer than your blues are. Overall, we’re entirely bluer than even your bluest blues are, and even most of our blues are less red and more blue than most of your reds are, although it seems we’re on the verge of turning more red, but that gap seems to have narrowed since you guys got a red guy in there and we’re starting to see the results, even if its only been less than a week with your reds in charge.

    I hope this clears things up.






  • Most musicians will never record anything in their musical careers. Most musicians are amateurs who won’t go beyond open mics, bonfires, and coffee shops. Many won’t even go there and prefer to remain bedroom players.

    I’m one of those musicians who does the open mic stuff and occasional shows, been in pickup bands and rocked some faces, but I have no illusions as to my place in the musical strata of the world. Most of us will never go anywhere with a musical career, but for the vast majority of us, it’s a hobby and a pastime, not a career goal. As a musician, I know I make a pretty good computer programmer, and I’m fine with that, but I can’t imagine not making music.

    Music for music’s sake.

    From their website:

    Many languages, one name: ISO

    Because “International Organization for Standardization” would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), its founders opted for the short form “ISO”. The story goes that ISO is derived from the Greek word “isos”, meaning equal.

    Whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always ISO.
