[JMetallica]

Holy ****!

I just heard Otyg's cover of Holy Diver, and wow that ruled haha. It was all folkish more so then metallish and had a violin do the solo...

Haha, that version does rule. It's interesting how all those scandinavian bands sing in english. Sounds quite funny, and frankly i wouldnt mind hearing more! :p

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Haha, that version does rule. It's interesting how all those scandinavian bands sing in english. Sounds quite funny, and frankly i wouldnt mind hearing more! :p


Then go check out the almighty Vintersorg, since hes the one that sings that version of Holy Diver.

[munky_magik]

Haggard is like classical medieval music fused with metal. But alot of the times it doesn't even have the whole metal element, but straight up classical. Very cool band, and that album is mostly in french and is about Galileo.

Sounds good, very good.

*is in the process of downloading tracks*

[munky_magik]

The qaulity of some of the tracks isn't great, but I dunno if that's just dodgy ones downloaded by me, but they're really good.
I think I'll get some more :)

[Bartender]

Hello everyone/no one. Apparently I'm now going CD shopping tomorrow, for some reason it didn't happen today. Instead, I've been watching Black Books, again. More time to find recommendations though, I suppose.

[munky_magik]

have you tried the reccomendations thread? ;)

[Bartender]

No, it's a stupid thread and I hate it :angry:

Actually, I just don't want any specific kind of recommendations ("looking for stuff like X, Y and Z"). I don't think going in and saying "recommend me things" will go down too well. Anyway, that's what I've already said in here :)

[Burdcheese]

So just a bit of spontaneous buying then?

[munky_magik]

I think that I only got 9 cds over Christmas :upset:
My list will never shrink

[Burdcheese]

I didn't get nearly enough - I need to buy more.

Only about 5 :(

[Bartender]

I didn't get any CDs for Christmas.

So just a bit of spontaneous buying then?

Yes. But whenever I get to the stores, I can't remember what it is I'm leaning towards at the moment. So this time I'm determined to have some kind of list to take, as a reminder.

[munky_magik]

Whenever I go CD shopping my mind goes totally blank, and any carefully prepared lists I happened to have made disappear or I forget about..

[big]

i got 4! 4!!!!! oh well they were good ones but i must write a bigger list!

[Burdcheese]

Whenever I go to a store I always have the worst indecision - there's so much I want but can never make up my mind. Sometimes I leave with nothing.

I've come up with a good system now though - if I'm with my friend, I tell him which ones I'm considering and he picks them for me.

[munky_magik]

I don't go with anything in mind anymore, I just go with the flow and buy whatever I see first.

[Burdcheese]

Last time I was there I saw at least 20 cds I wanted - so the new method had to be implemented

[Bartender]

I've come up with a good system now though - if I'm with my friend, I tell him which ones I'm considering and he picks them for me.

Whenever I try that, the one they choose suddenly becomes the one I don't want so much.

[Bartender]

I don't go with anything in mind anymore, I just go with the flow and buy whatever I see first.

That's generally what I do, but then I always get home and go "****! I meant to look for.."

Hence the list.

[munky_magik]

That's generally what I do, but then I always get home and go "****! I meant to look for.."

Hence the list.

whenever I want anythign specific I usually use Amazon. The day I get a credit card is the day I'll go broke.

[Kingofdudes]

I also have problems with CD shopping, I always hold up my family when we go shopping because I am always remembering CDs I want.

[munky_magik]

I haven't been shopping with my family for ages. The last time I went was with my dad to toys'r'us, which is no where near as good as I remembered it being :upset:

[munky_magik]

1,500 posts, 4 stars, and a double post. It's been a good day :)

[Schyma]

So what does everyone think is the best downloading service?

Id go with Soulseek. I herad Limewire is good though but I've never tried it.

*972*

[Six Foot Revolver]

I would use limewire

[superpeer]

ah, 2005 members. :amaze:

[munky_magik]

I really feel sorry for you Mods about now.

[superpeer]

Why? Did I miss something?

[munky_magik]

No, I'm just feeling sympathetic :)

[Iron Man]

I just got my ACT scores back. 31 composite score, 98th percentile. Will that get me anywhere :confused:

[Six Foot Revolver]

ACT? Whats that?
Excactly what I was thinking

[jpj]

It's a standardized test people have to take to get into college. I take it you guys aren't American.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Nope, English

[Iron Man]

ACT? Whats that?

Some sort of college test thingy.

[Burdcheese]

English too.

So you take them before your SATs?

[Iron Man]

English too.

So you take them before your SATs?

I think so, I took mine early.

[Roogen9]

Some people don't even take the SATs here in the midwest. I have to take the ACT this year, i'm not gonna do well... i got a 23 on my practice...

It's usually used in place of the word "end", but it's acceptable to use it anywhere at MX, for some reason.

Same with "++", it's just an MX thing.

yeah i know all my friends got like 28 and up, the time is really what killed me too, but i think i can raise it quite i few points if i take some classes before i take it.

It started because of jarviss' way of telling stories. e.g. :

"Hey, you'll never guess what that reminded me of. Once, when I was young, I got pushed over by some other kid, and I was all like "Awww, what'd you do that for?" , and he was like.." etc

Basically a take on tags. It's been used so much, though, and confused so badly with /me that hardly anyone uses it properly any more.

I recognize that one, and also "Postcount ++" for spamming and "Overdone thread ++" for obvious reasons

Usually people in the west take the ACTs, and in the east the SATs. It probably depends on the location of the school you're trying to get into.

Discussion about Mx symbols++

[Bartender]

it's usually used to indicate an action.
and ++ is used to indicate positive rep.

Hello

/late

^ is a lazy way* of saying that what you said was late.

*it should be Hello.

/me is late

^comes from the IRC command, which would show up on the screen as "*your name* is late".

/walks in late

^makes no sense at all, and it's beginning to get annoying how badly people screw it up.

++ also, it came along way before rep, from coding.

We've barely had any snow and it's like 50 degrees! What the **** :angry:

It's cold here, too :(

We're getting a foot of snow in twenty-four hours.

I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to send me Jimmie's Chicken Shack's "Falling Out." The only versions I can find are radio rips and I'd really like to find the album version without all the radio babble.

[^Dream~Theater^]

It's about -40 here and lots of snow.

Paraphrasing of an old text message:

[quote] We apologise for any inconvenience, but Musicianforums.com is currently experiencing technical problems, and has gone down on most users. You however, should still be able to access the site. This is because not even MX would go down on an ugly bastard like you.

[RiceMonster]

The snow just melted were I live. It rained yesterday.

[jpj]

It's abnormally warm here.
Same here, I find warm winters to be depressing.

[CaptainWaits]

it isn't snowing right now, but it's da*n cold......-28 I think it is

But it's typical weather for Canada

[Bartender]

It's cold here, just how I like it. I like being back home, it's too warm down south (Leeds).

No, not lucky me. Its 22 degrees outside, and I don't use a conventional heating source for our house, we have to use a wood stove...I am freezing my ****in' *** off right now.

Have you guys seen Pink Floyd's Pulse concert? That has a wicked light show.

Yea, I have it and my dad saw a show from that tour in Pittsburgh. If only I hadn't been 4 at the time :(

Yes, I have seen it.

I was more on the lines talking to Munky, but thats cool too. :)

[munky_magik]

Nearish to Edinburgh in Scotland.
Scotland is the tiny place above England incase nobody knew.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Ahhhh...

Last year we had an ice storm that covered every thing in 4-6 inches of ice, and it might happen again since its like 25 degrees outside.

[munky_magik]

At least that would be interesting.
In Scotland, we never get extremes of weather, just permanetly crap weather all the time.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Wasn't interesting at all haha, it sucked.

I was stuck in the house for a week, could not even walk out onto my porch 2 feet away from my front door with out the 4 inches of ice. And to top it off the power was out for about a week and had a hell of a mess to clean up afterwards of all the fallen trees and sapplings.

A whole load of non-metal.

The B-52's - The B-52's
Ben Harper - Fight For Your Mind
Bjork - Homogenic
The Eagles - Hotel California
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Interpol - Antics
Jimmy Nail - Growing Up In Public (the one on the list)
Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Portishead - Dummy
The Rat Pack - A Night On The Town With..

The Wildhearts - Fishing For Luckies

The Wildhearts - The Wildhearts Strike Back

[munky_magik]

3 Wildhearts cds!! I envy you :upset:
I muchly prefer Ben Harper's live stuff to studio stuff, it just has much more energy.
Marvin Gaye is a classic, I know I already said it but I got his 2 disc best of for £9.99 :)

All in all a good haul :thumb:

[Burdcheese]

How much did that lot cost you?!?!?

[Bartender]

Those three are just three I needed for rounding out my collection of Wildhearts stuff. I have a retarded amount of Wildhearts stuff.

Yeah. Live From Mars is an amazing album, but I've already got it so I decided to go for this. Fancied hearing a studio version of Burn One Down, for one thing.


All in all a good haul :thumb:

I was pleased :)

[Bartender]

How much did that lot cost you?!?!?

All together, about £108; £6.75 on average.. Only the three Wildhearts ones were close to full price (they cost £34).

All are good.

I haven't had the chance to listen to any of mine yet, as I'm busy watching the Naked Gun boxed set I also bought.

How I envy someone given Christmas money :p

Even though I didn't get any CDs or anything besides it? :)

[munky_magik]

People end up giving me money instead of cds, because no one has any idea what cds I have/want.

Actually I'm not sure if even I know what cds I have. I'm pretty sure that I've bought Silverchair - Diorama twice now...

EDIT: I spelt it right the second time round

[Arucard]

Man, i cant explain how suprised i was when i took that 36 Crazy Fists album home and realised it was good.

[Bartender]

I've got to wonder why you bought it, then? :)

People end up giving me money instead of cds, because no one has any idea what cds I have/want.

Same here. It's more or less at my request, because I'd much rather forgo the pleasure of opening presents if it also means avoiding returning a dozen or more CDs.

Actually I'm not sure if even I know what cds I have. I'm pretty sure that I've bought Silverchair - Diorama twice now...


Do what I do; list them! Just for yourself, to keep track of them. I used to just do it in text documents, but (much as I hate to admit it) www.rateyourmusic.com seems to be your best bet.

that's a good long term project, but it won't help me that much when I get blinded by cheap cds. Any cd for £5 is jsut asking me to buy it, It's like mind control or something

I listed all my CDs in the last two days, because I have no life (and only 300 CDs). The compare feature is fun, too.

I know what you mean about cheap CDs, though. I narrowly avoided breaking the 20 CD barrier today, by forcing myself to put back several CDs I picked up early on.

I've drawn up a long list of all those I want so my friends have gift ideas :smoke:

Birthdays are good for expanding your collection ;).

[Schyma]

I got 70 cds around X mas and still haven't heard them all.

Edit: Just counted them all up and the finale count is 116

[munky_magik]

70? I got about 6 through spending my own money

[RNR]

Schyma, how did you get all of those again?

[Schyma]

Well I told you guys about the 1st 70 but I also gained about 40 more from a 2nd trip.

I have about 150 cds at the moment. :)

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

The majority of the cds that i buy are under 10 dollars. I'm a bargain hunter, unless it's something that i want very much.

[munky_magik]

*has about 260 cds* :)

[Schyma]

I dont buy many Cds 90% of my cds came to me free.

Edit: I have 200 burned Cds

I only have about 5 burned cds, I much prefer having the real copies over anything burned.

I just got a free record player from my trip to Mexico. I only have LA Woman though.

[magicbus]

I only have about 5 burned cds, I much prefer having the real copies over anything burned.

Same here. Its more respectful to the band, and it looks more impressive to have a REAL cd collection.

And I only got 9 for christmas. One's a double disc.

I much prefer having the real copies over anything burned.
Yeah so do.

[Silenius]

The majority of the cds that i buy are under 10 dollars. I'm a bargain hunter, unless it's something that i want very much.
I usually never go above 13$, but a few weeks ago I saw the Emperor/Enslaved split (Hordanes Land) and got it for 20$ because I have wanted it forever.

[Cipher Hour]

I've never paid above $15 for a CD.

I've never paid above $15 for a CD.
There are some CDs that I would pay 30-40$ for.

Yes, I am a cheap ***, but at least I am downloading legally now.

I like to buy used. I got HTWWW for $12, and new I've never seen it less then like $28.

I also got 27 CD's for Christmas and bot 4 more with Christmas money, so that was nice.

I use iTunes sometimes but they don't really have what I want most of the time.

[Kage]

I would NEVER pay for mp3s.

[RNR]

Paying for mp3s keeps music from dying. Paying for albums is even better :)

I have a total of 1 burned CD, and that was a gift. I've got a few albums in mp3 form though, mostly, but not all, ones I just can't find physically.

[Cipher Hour]

There are some CDs that I would pay 30-40$ for.

Lucky you, unfortunately my job pays **** so I'm usually too strapped for cash to pick up anything THAT expensive.

Well there's only one or two I've bought for that much, one of them was Burzum/Aske I think.

See, I would love to own them all phsyically, but I can't. It is to expensive for me, unless I had some job that paid 30-40 bucks an hour, then I could. So I have to get my music like this if I want to continue getting new music and bands and stuff. I can't be going out spending 100-200 dollars on like 10-12 cds when there are so many bands I want to check out and so much stuff I want from the current bands I listen to.

Thats my reasoning for mp3 downloading...

Heh, I don't think I could ever do that. I prefer CDs to burned stuff. I don't know, I guess I'm one of those people that needs to own the album. I only burn things not worth buying.

[RNR]

^me too. I can't download an album, burn it and feel good. I'm a collector.

Ya know, if cds were less than $10 each on average they would fly off the shelves and the extra profit would make up for the price.

[Cipher Hour]

^^ It's a shame people are too stupid to realize this.

Omg, lol. I just saw your stars. Anyways, I'm back and legal!!!!
Paying for mp3s keeps music from dying. Paying for albums is even better :)
Ya true, I get much more satisfaction out of buying an album.

[RNR]

I thought you meant that all the albums you own were downloaded.

[RiceMonster]

I buy albums, but not very often. I rarely have the cash for it. I hate it, I'm alweays stuck downloading then buying the album a month later. I need a job. :(

[Dancin' Man]

Casus de Hominis

Idea for a band name but it would be very embarassing to use it and then find out it's wrong.

The idea is for it to say The Fall of Man

On the Mp3 issue, what I meant is I'd never pay for an Mp3, I always buy albums. I download Mp3s to find new music, and the stuff I like, I make sure to buy a CD. There's something about having the actual thing in your hand that makes it much better.

Yes, I agree. But when you are poor you will take music in any form it comes in and appreciate it...

[Cipher Hour]

Man, two band name threads within an hour of each other. When are people ever going to learn? I think there should be a big pop-up or a page you have to go through when signing up that says "DON'T POST A THREAD ASKING FOR A BAND NAME!". I haven't even been here half as long as some of you and I'm sick of it.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I personally think a page should be coded in saying "read the ****ing rules you god damn bastardized **** wit, or you will be banned. Have a great day! :wave: "

I think that sentence says Falls with Men.

Don't take just my word for it, but I think The Fall of Man is simply Casum Homini.

Its been a horribly long time since I did Latin...

Man needs to be genitive singular...
which is indeed Homini I think

I'd get someone else to make sure before you actually use it ff

I only went to 1 of my 3 classes today.
the most I ever have in a day is 3 classes.
The only thing that sucks about my school is I hafta get up in the mornings twice a week :p

And thanks for the black mages song :thumb:

[Bartender]

I'm not looking forward to going back to University. We get a new timetable, and since my last one was so cool, I've got a nasty feeling that this one's going to be horrible.

[munky_magik]

well, you could console yourself with the fact that you're at least at uni and not stuck in high school anymore.
Alternatively you could lock yourself in your room and develop your Wildhearts obsession to an alarming degree :)

[Burdcheese]

why/when were you learning latin?

when: Up to GCSEs

why: Because I was quite good at it and had cool teachers for it (believe it or not)

oh, I didn't realise that they still thaught(sp?) it in schools :p

[Burdcheese]

Only in some - I probably shouldn't have done it up to GCSE, but I can't remember what I would have had to do instead.

I also did greek for about a fortnight, but we had "creative differences" :p

The Aeneid bored me to tears

[jpj]

My school used to have Latin and Japanese, but the county is too poor so now we only have French and Spanish :(

[Burdcheese]

I would have liked to have learned Japanese or to have had Italian as a standard GCSE subject (the only one we could do normally was Spanish)

[munky_magik]

my school only does German and French. And barely them at that :(

[Burdcheese]

actually we had German as well... I forgot about that

[Arucard]

Does anyone know how to re-size avatars?

[munky_magik]

I just shrink mine in MS paint untill it fits into a 70x70 canvas.

[Arucard]

Yeh but it cuts off the most important parts.

[munky_magik]

I do a complicated/weird thing. Start with it the size that it is, then shrink it and then change the canvas to 70x70 and see how it's doing for size. If it's not ok I undo the canvas re-sizing and shrink the pic down/up further as required until it fits well in the 70x70 canvas.

[Arucard]

Meh, ill do it some other time. I just want this Iced Earth avatar.

[Dancin' Man]

Snowday. Cool. Now I need to go write a research paper.

[Bartender]

I took Latin at GCSE too, but I think our school's discontinued it now. I enjoyed it though.

This is real stuff btw* :thumb:

I'd download some stuff first then just to give The Black Mages a listen. If you like metal and Final Fantasy music then chances are you'll like TBM. Still, only you can really decide if it is worth your money.

[munky_magik]

I've downloaded some tracks, and been really impressed. And I do believe that Mr. Uematsu is a total genius. But the problem is that I'm dealing with the Wildhearts.
