Da Boids Is Da Woid Dept. - Part The Proto-Antecedent

Note unprofessional tilt of horizon, ruining composition entirely.
Well, lookee here! Fifty-nine [59 - Ed.] tracks of feathery fabulousness recorded when dey wus jes' cute ickle baby-boidies a-cheepin' an' a-choipin' f' all dey wus woit!

You may safely discard the mammoth Jet Set collection FoamFeatured© antecedently once you have these eggs hatching in the nest of your hard drive. It's a "complete" version of Preflyte, curated [rock writer advisory - Ed.] by our heroic friend Anonymous Uploader, delivered here at a sustainable and ozone-friendly bitrate that'll garner you the Mister Personality sash at your next Elks convention!


On a more serious note - I've noticed that a babe in a bikini boosts page hits into the stratosphere, which shows what a skeevy bunch of reprobates you are, for shame. You think I'm that much of a blog whore, I need hits from a crowd of drooling onanists? Well, my friend, let me disabuse you of that notion toot sweet! This is the last time [yeah, ri-ight - Ed.] that a picture of a pulchritude will grace these hallowed pages! If a timely and provocative piece on Boffalongo with a picture of the album ain't gonna get hits, then those are hits I don't need! Nossiree Bob!

  1. To qualify for this ornithological orgasm, copy-paste the following into your comment:

    "I am a skeevy reprobate and tummy-bassoon beater whose sweaty fantasies are a shameful stain on the purity of the human spirit and I hereby vow never to look at another picture of a dame in a bikini again, even if she's hot."

  2. As instructed, "I am a skeevy reprobate and tummy-bassoon beater whose sweaty fantasies are a shameful stain on the purity of the human spirit and I hereby vow never to look at another picture of a dame in a bikini again, even if she's hot."
    But Farq, if I must now endure a cheese-free future bereft of bikini shots, I would like to go on record to say that I find today's clickbait pic unsettling. Something is amiss with the young miss's top; it seems oddly akimbo, as though she's somehow managed to bugger up the process of putting it on. By the way, the slightly askew horizon line hardly registered.

    1. On mature study, I think she put her top on upside-down. Check it out - see what I mean? Heaven only knows, it's easy to do - I'm always putting my boxers on inside-out, or back-to-front. But that skewed horizon is less excusable.

  3. The picture composure would be well balanced if the disoriented top were removed entirely, IMHO.

    1. Well, call me old-fashioned, but I demand certain standards in photographic composition and orthogonal norms override subject matter. This isn't an action scene from the Batman TV series, or a German Expressionist movie, fercrissakes. Unless the ocean really is sliding off to the right like that ... stranger things have happened recently ...

  5. Huh. 59 tracks of more proto-Byrds?! Not that I'm not thankful, Farq, but after going through the exhausting Jet Set stuff and remembering that you mentioned there's another In the Beginning set somewhere on your hard drive(s), this begs the question: Isn't this all the same material, more or less packaged differently? I mean what ended up on the original Preflyte and In The Beginning albums (and then a never ending bunch of boots) is the same World Pacific Recordings which should be around 90 tracks or so, albeit most of them takes and run throughs of the same dozen songs.

    P.S. Being a gentleman, I abhor and protest visual depictions of the fairer sex with even the faintest hint of states of undress. Egad!

    1. This is nicer to listen to, fewer repetitions with slight changes - less "academic" if you like. If you don't like, don't download! Or, you know, junk the Jet Set set.

    2. Oh, I probably will junk the other stuff. I've never been a fan of hearing the same song ten times in a row, no matter the differences. I was just wondering why you have both of these sets (and maybe a third one) if they are all more or less the same. But I take better fidelity and/or curation in a heartbeat. And of all the good stuff here I select what I keep and how. I'm also wondering how you do your listening if all of these huge sets are lying on your hard drives or IPod or whatever. Do you listen to stuff on shuffle or do you say, "oh an hour of early Byrds would be nice" and put on one of these sets?

      Delete
    3. I zipped in and out of the Jet Set collection (I've now trashed it). I occasionally play this complete version, or rather let it play while I drift around the house trying to remember why I came in the room.

      I'm not a fan of these big archival projects as listening experiences. It's important to store this stuff somewhere, though preferebly not on my hard drive. Generally speaking, the original issue of any album is preferable to any subsequent bonus tracks version.

  10. Hello i back again for the same question.

    Last time i’d asking you :
    FRANCKMay 27, 2020 at 4:42 PM
    Is there any link on ? checking every words every point find nothing. i still own the first lp with a 60s/70s US hard cover sleeve and remember how pleasant this music was.

    So you repply it who s been really clear..
    Farquhar Throckmorton IIIMay 27, 2020 at 5:12 PM
    There's an annoying Stealth Link™ right in this comment somewhere. Trouble finding Stealth Links? If I made it easy they wouldn't be hard to find, would they? I'd have to call them EasyLinks. Where's the fun in that?
    And so i find it the point like you’d wrote.
    And in thankfully answer i wrote it , but like american isn’t my native tongue, maybe i wasn’t wrote what i mean to cleary.
    FRANCKJune 1, 2020 at 6:05 PM
    Thanks Farquhar just i would to know before your answer at this point there is not link ?

    In fact my question wasn t where is the link anymore but « is this point existed before my request ?
    Cause the point is below this request. And i asking myself if you put this point after it ?
    SO you’d wrote me back that like if you think i’d not understand :

    Franck, link is tiny blue dot above the "R" of "Reply" in the comment above (May 27, 2020 at 5:12 PM)

    Next time you're on your own!

    And the next time is now with the greatest american band of all times. I already own few éditions of the « preflyte » album since together 1969 one, even the japan 3cd 48tks complete so i’d try to download you’re one but like last time i’d check every letter, every signes and i become to think that don’t exist or that been withdraw.
    I’d try to with others like jimmie spheeris (‘i’d miss the dragon at the released times) before E-Z links appearing or on Balderdash that i still searching too. Like copying mail on red to see eventually an white point on white or cleanning my scream to drop all the dusty points.

    About pics of pretty baby why stop to looking that ? don’t forget that ! Everythings that man’s hands can’t touch remain a dream. And dream (wety or not) are always a supperior state of mind, isn’t ?. And beauty is so often seen rarer in pornography which is the animal side of humans

  12. Okay, my eyes are blurry from trying to follow that exchange.

    Franck, are you one of my students in disguise? I don't think I ever had a Franck in my classes, but some of their contributions read a bit like that…

    PS: I'm just messing with you, learning English in what I imagine is a French-speaking country is all kinds of difficult.

    5. Hey there, crab devil, fellow scholar and sufferer,

      are you now teleworking? Here in France they shut down all tertiary education until September, so now I gotta do my thing as a disembodied voice coming out of a computer or cell phone. I've taken to tele-teaching reasonably well, but let's just say the hill isn't getting any less steep and the rock isn't getting smaller this way...

    7. It's a long story, but I've taken time off and am not currently
      teaching at all. I think I've dodged a bullet. All of my, um,
      colleagues, who've had to adopt various just-in-time expedients,
      must be struggling to make it through the syllabus without
      brutalizing and/or losing the students.

      I taught "fully" online several years ago, so I get what you're
      saying. Despite the, as it were, cheerleaderliness of my
      administrators, I'm none too optimistic about the near-future
      prospects. (In this line of work, it's hard enough to do a good
      job under the best of circumstances. Now that everyone seems
      justified in cutting corners, doing a good job may very well
      come to resemble martyrdom.)

      Even so, I hope that you already have, and will continue to have,
      at least some students who help to keep the process redemptive.
