Those indie-esque band names that incorporate B or C list
celebrties, like The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganaza,
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, and Youth Pictures of
Florence Henderson.

Wikipedia says:
Large hydroelectric projects can be disruptive to
surrounding aquatic ecosystems. For instance, studies have
shown that dams along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of
North America have reduced salmon populations by preventing
access to spawning grounds upstream, even though most dams
in salmon habitat have fish ladders installed. Salmon smolt
are also harmed on their migration to sea when they must
pass through turbines. This has led to some areas barging
smolt downstream during parts of the year. Turbine and
power-plant designs that are easier on aquatic life are an
active area of research.

Generation of hydroelectric power impacts on the downstream
river environment. Water exiting a turbine usually contains
very little suspended sediment, which can lead to scouring
of river beds and loss of riverbanks. Since turbines are
often opened intermittently, rapid or even daily
fluctuations in river flow are observed. For example, in the
Grand Canyon, the daily cyclic flow variation caused by Glen
Canyon Dam was found to be contributing to erosion of sand
bars. Dissolved oxygen content of the water may change from
pre-construction conditions. Water exiting from turbines is
typically much colder than the pre-dam water, which can
change aquatic faunal populations, including endangered
species.

fuck the salmon

rather one small eco system than the whole world. I'd rather
flood a valley than the rest of the world.

Probably not. He always gets a bit pissed, leaves, and then
comes back a few hours later.

When vsts don't have high resolution knobs. I need more
than 127 settings on my LFO's.
