I dream of a house with a huge basement (that's not common in the Netherlands, we already live below sea level as it is!) or attic where I can store stuff indefinitly 
And of course I'd never need to move.

Most houses here have a pretty big space in the roof to stash stuff and forget about it for 30 years. That's dangerous if you ever do move though, it's a pain to clear out.

Meshuggah is yiddish for crazy or insane, and a fitting description of Thomas Haake, the drummer in the band with that name.
While Progressive Metal isn't my style I can't help being anything but impressed[^].
An upvote to the first one getting the reference 23/16 without cheating. (not that hard)

23/16 is the time signature in which he plays. Probably he does that a few times while the first guitar player plays 423876/123485 and the second plays 239846/12459 and then the singer just sings 4/4 and after 2.463 rounds they meet up and are synchronous again. That's what I think they do anyway 
Great band.

Yeshhhhhh!
Believe it or not, but that upvote really is the highlight of my day so far and it's 10 pm / 22:00 over here

Well I meant that upvote not just for the promise I made, but you made me laugh because there really is more than one time signature in the tune. well, I don't know about the guitars but figuratively you're spot on.

In that case I demand another upvote!

I remember reading an interview with those guys back when that album (ObZen) was released.
They really do play different time signatures and they play them at the same time.
The drummer plays it four or five times, throws in an off-time signature, and they all finish at the same time.
He also plays sixth and fourth notes in the same count. With his feet. That guy is unreal!

Farpotshket from Yiddish:

Oh, I know that Demon well: it surfaces too often in code I have written, and re-written !

Surprise! Surprise! I'm believe you already updated by Bob, but let me congratulate you on getting your ever first 'Best Article' (with a totally useless - for you - laptop sleeve)!!!
I think if you where an other kind of people you already had full of first prizes, but you are one that chooses the way of direct help - and that's why you will be soon the millionaire...
Thank you and congratulations...

But thank you!
Watch this space - there may be news about the sleeve...
