I just cried in a Star Trek episode :upset:

Haha, you have emotions.

In other news, morning everyone :o <<<<<<<< that's me yawning

[Electrocution]

Emotions are what women have. They come from their ovaries.

[Electrocution]

especially the guy who looked like Lavar Burton from Reading Rainbow (maybe it was Lavar Burton?) with the headband over his eyes.
same guy. key-razy.

TV in general sucks now.

ooo, it's thundering outside :-/

[Iai]

Why TV when music exists, honestly.

/goes downstairs to watch Channel 5's Best #1 Singles Ever

[Kyle]

yeah, as sad as it sounds now Big Brother is over there is a 10 'o clock void in my life which must be filled.

Iai: Even us MXicans can't take Music all day every day, taking breaks from it make it more special

As long as they keep playing 2420422 million episodes of Simpsons a day, TV will never suck.

[Iai]

BBC2 are showing Tommy in 20 minutes :eek:

TV sucks no more!

Wow, those Hardcore/Emo guys sure did it this time.

What happened now?

edit: holy crap.

[ATM]

What happened?

[snidget]

What happened?

go in, and scroll half way down pg 1.

It's kerazy

[asymm]

Our subforum seems so tame in comparison. Those hooligans.

[ATM]

Hmm which should I go see:

Beck
NIN, QOTSA, DFA 1979
White Stripes, The Shins
Jethro Tull
Sigur Ros

[Wanker]

The craziest thing our forum has seen was Tangy's Punk Rock thread.

I screenshot that page like whoa.

thoughts?

[pixiesfanyo]

I think NIN QOTSA and DFA is obviously the choice.

[Daniel!]

That soccer tournament was intense.

[ATM]

I think NIN QOTSA and DFA is obviously the choice.

I was leaning towards that one. Beck would be fun, though.

[Dog]

Ah, I'm going to see that QUOTSA/DFA tour later this year. I say go with that one. Beck would be really cool though.

[EightMilesHigh]

As intense as riding a rollercoaster whilst listening to Alexisonfire? I think not.

[ATM]

I did walk away with two yellowcards in 4 games and a banged up knee and tailbone.

[Daniel!]

What position do you play? I am a sweeper.

Sweeper and center midfield.

[ATM]

Sweeper and center midfield.

Playing sweeper is so fun. I would just run over anyone who would get near the 18 yard box.

[Daniel!]

When I play sweeper I usually end up just cleaning out the other teams fords when they get past our defenders. Thus the 2 yellow cards.

[ATM]

In my 13 years of playing, I never got a red card.

[Iai]

I used to play sweeper. Only got sent off once. I was pretty proud of it, though, the other guy was a dick and I dislocated his ankle. :cool:

[ATM]

Nice, very nice!

Sports talk in the alt/indie forum, this is unheard of.

[Daniel!]

I got two yellows in one game but I've never done anything too get me sent off right away.

[Iai]

I got subbed once coz I was on a yellow and some guy was owning me hard. I had to foul him just to stop him getting a shot in.

[ATM]

When I was in high school, I almost had to play against Adu.

[YDload]

My friend and captain of the team had a streak of one yellow card a game for about 11 games. Only stopped when he got injured, but not before elbowing some kid in the head and giving him a concussion :)

(but he got injured in a different circumstance)

I went to a birthday party today and had a pretty good time. It was like being a litte kid, kind of.

Did you play pin the tail on the donkey?

[Kyle]

Just looked at Emo/Hardcore :lol: that guy is gonna get some serious banning time.

[JonM]

Home. I got two New Birth albums on one CD.

Technically, you are getting older. But not old-old. Not like my 100-year-old-great-grandpa old.

I think it's time to get a facelift.

I'd say you're maturing beautifully. Which is a really creepy thing for someone on a message board to say about you. But I'm just being honest.

[ZEROthirtythree]

I'd say you're getting hotter.

Now that's the response I was looking for.

*attention whore

[ZEROthirtythree]

so how old do you thin I am? You all would be surprised.

(I used to lie about it)

[Luxor]

I'm going to go with... 18.

If my friend isn't working today, I might be going down to a pier to go jump in the water. That's always fun.

Also, I'm going to try to find a job application today.

[ATM]

Try to find a job application? That doesn't sound too hard.

[A Goonie]

yeah im at work at the moment, so i have no choice but to drink lots of coffee and hopefully wake up soon

[ATM]

I am on my lunch break and have to be back at work in 11 minutes.

[EightMilesHigh]

Try to find a job application? That doesn't sound too hard.

I just need a lift downtown to a music store where I'm applying. It's a used CD and record store, with at least three coffee shops on nearby blocks :eek:

[A Goonie]

wow i want to work there

[Kyle]

I just got a job at my local supermarket (Morrisons) today. After looking for a job for over a year I got offered another job today aswell. You know what they say about busses?

[ATM]

I work here (http://www.wmcworld.com/).

It's pretty cool.

[A Goonie]

I've notice as i gotten older, i've been more into music, i may go back to school for music. I love my job but i love music more

I drove for the first time today. What a doozy.

[biografiend]

I was very tempted to buy a book of Paul McCartney's art today at a secondhand store for $10, but I eventually put it back. I think I'm going to go back Friday and see if its still there. I am terribly stingy with my money.

Ha, I hit a cactus the first time got behind the wheel. Crap, I was 14 that was a ways back.

I watched my mom back into a dumpster.

I'm going for my liscense when I turn 18 (4 1/2 months).

My mom might buy a new car and if she does I get her old one. 2002 Mercedes Benz :cool:

[The NPC]

I watched my mom back into a dumpster.

Plasic or metal?

[EightMilesHigh]

As am I. I barely buy anything except CDs. I spend probably 98% of my money on CDs :lol:

I buy too many sporks. :( :( :(

I hit a giant flower pot on the sidewalk because I ran over the curb taking a turn yesterday... That reminds me, I haven't even told my parents yet. I suppose they haven't noticed the massive dent in the side.

..I think I'll just wait this one out, see what happens.

Well, they're one of those things you can never have enough of.

[sweboy]

Sup thread. Does anyone know how to reach hidden tracks on CD:s? I have a CD where there should be a song hidden between track 1 and track 2, but I can't reach it. Is it even possible to hide songs like that, and in that case, is it possible to reach it with just a regular CD player?

[snidget]

I think you'd go to the beginning of track 2 and hold rewind

[EightMilesHigh]

I think you'd go to the beginning of track 2 and hold rewind

I like your user title.

[Dog]

You also have to pat your head with one hand and rub your stomach with the other, I believe.

[snidget]

I like your user title.

Thank you, that makes up for the wierd, unfamiliar form of sarcasm that DITS used on me

[sweboy]

I've tried that, without luck. I've always tried it the other way around.

EDIT: But I haven't tried DogInTheSand's suggestion, I'll do that.

EDIT 2: It's bloody hard!

[Dog]

My friend once had a cd that had a secret track, but you had to skip through all the tracks on the cd like a 100 times, and then on the 101th time, at the end of the cd, a new hidden track would appear. It was weird.

EDIT 2: It's bloody hard!
But oh boy the feeling you get when you accomplish that feat. :cool:

[EightMilesHigh]

I just fell down a flight of stairs.

[Dog]

Were you wearing a helmet?

Someone's in a playful mood

[EightMilesHigh]

Nope. Everything's still intact, though.

I'm making up for it by listening to Run DMC.

That is insane. Do you know what CD it was?

[Zmev]

Nine Inch Nail's Broken Ep has 8 or so tracks, and then 90 tracks of nothing and then 2 other tracks.

On a sidenote, I just read Bob Dylan's "You're gonna make me lonesome" as "You're gonna make me lemonade".

[YDload]

Yea, i'm old. It's depressing

Yup, at home. Looking at computer screen. Doing. Nothing. Ive never heard of Woosehill but I know Wokingham. I live in Woodley. Go to Henley for a house party on friday. My ex has a free house, she said that she only wants a few, select friends over but I still havent wreaked vengeance for her screwing me over four times too many yet.

Sheeee lives, on TIsbury Lane

It's from Smallville.

Ugh, I have a horrible headache right now.

[Dog]

That is insane. Do you know what CD it was?
I have no idea. The secret track thing is really cool, but I don't know why any band would go through so much trouble to hide a song that they choose to put on an album.

[masada]

Am I the only one that notices the irony of something that hot coming from a show called "Smallville"?

Hmm, I'm going to have to think about this for a minute.. yeah, I think I'm wrong. But still, it's rather peculiar.

[snidget]

It doesn't really matter what the TV show is called. If it's on TV, there's going to be something hot on it

[biografiend]

I'm feeling very crafty today. I think I will go crochet a scarf for my friend who lives in Michigan.

[masada]

I like scarves.

Make me one.

[Zappa]

The album I've been working on is 15 tracks and 18 minutes long now. Really coming together.

[Electrocution]

What software do you use?

[Zappa]

CoolEdit Pro 2.0.

[masada]

I have a ghetto 4-track. :cool:

[dkmaddog]

As do I. I love the little bugger.

[Electrocution]

I wish I had the resources to set up a ghetto fab recording studio.

[CarnageFairy]

So I went to a friend of a friend's house yesterday and met a bunch of new people. As it turns out, one of these people was wearing the exact same shoe in the same size as me. Of course I didn't realize this until we had already taken our shoes off and they had been kicked around a bit. So now I may or may not be wearing one or both of some random guy's shoes.

I mean, seriously, WTF?

In other news; Bear Vs. Shark is probably the best band name ever.

[masada]

I wish I had the resources to set up a ghetto fab recording studio. Mine is located in the dining room, with guitars laying on the floor and cables everywhere, and blank tapes. The only problem I have with the 4-track is that you can't overdub anything, and I have to go and buy microphones.

Other than that, it's crunk.

[Zappa]

I have a ton of keyboards (by that I mean around 8), and that's my main mode of recording. I hook them up to my soundcard and edit with the software. I also have a garage sale Aiwa microphone that I use for capturing the beauty of acoustic instruments (like my trumpet, and ocarinas, and my voice, etc.).

[JonM]

This is ****ing weird.

Everyone is leaving. I had to say goodbye to a bunch of people tonight. Because of the pre-college chaos, my musical project with Mike is on indefinite hold because he's, well, going to Miami, and I have to get it together and write some half-decent vocals if we're going to have two songs done. My girlfriend just left the house, she's been gone for three weeks, and she leaves for school Friday, so we've got three more days. She's going to school near me (90 miles), but we're still not going to get to see each other much. I'm feeling funny, so I'm listening to music and planning on spending a while on MX venting to YOU!

But I wrote a neat-o little blues tonight, and I might try to record it tomorrow and post it up here.

Sorry about the long post.

[masada]

At the moment, I'm working on a 90 minute piece of music, filling up both sides of a cassete tape. The first, so far, is this droning, atonal mess, that really doesn't go anywhere. Out of nowhere, though, there's octave melodies and stuff like that, before it all goes back to droning/noise. I'm not quite sure what I want the second half to be yet, but I'm planning on doing it with trombone, piano, and some other instruments, and I want to make it like a classical-folk type piece, but there will still be traces of what was on the first half.

[YDload]

Does any band have better song titles than The Flaming Lips?

A.C. doesn't count of course, they're not even in the same LEAGUE :)

Mars Volta has much better song titles

[Jacaranda]

There songs are just like the titles bunch of mumbo jumbo thats hard to understand unless you are in Central America.

Yeah, but it's something to do.

[ZEROthirtythree]

Yea I know. It was a joke.

[Zappa]

I find that aspiring to some sort of standards makes the "something to do" a lot more fulfilling in the end.

[masada]

If I had more than just these two guitars, I would be doing a lot more. Even if I were able to overdub, it would make recording by myself a lot more enjoyable. The band I'm in hasn't even had a practice for two weeks. :upset:

[Zappa]

That's too bad.

[masada]

Mmhmm.

[Jacaranda]

Yea I know. It was a joke.
Ah, gotcha, I just had to show my distaste for them once more.

I wouldn't wanna hear that, no offence.

[masada]

None taken. It's not exactly as bad as I described it, though.

It's just an outlet for my undying boredom. :)

[YDload]

Hey, I'm recording this song too! But instead of using my computer, I'm just leaving hundreds of voice mail messages on this one guy's phone. I plan to ask for them back at a later date, as I feel the best way to preserve the clarity of the bagpipes is through unsolicited music sharing :)

[ZEROthirtythree]

When I send in music for the MX compostion challanges, no one ever likes it. I personally think my music is great though, and I constantly listen to it myself.

I am my own biggest fan.

[Zappa]

I love my own music too. It's so great that I have like half an hour's worth now, because I can just sit and bask in my own glory for a now fairly substantial amount of time.

[Zmev]

I hate listening to my own songs, because they suck and I hate hearing my own voice.

[Zappa]

Ah. I don't sing.

[Robert Crumb]

I think that's a pretty natural feeling to like what you make, for all kinds of art. Like how food tastes better when you cook it yourself or whatever.

And to the person who mentioned Seu Jorge, yeah he's cool. I and probably a whole hell of a lot of people not living in Brazil wouldn't know him if it weren't for his parts in movies, though.

I'm not sure that I automatically like whatever I make, though. That's why I don't keep everything I record.

I haven't shared most of my new stuff with many people, so I'm really not sure if it's something anyone else enjoys. I can't wait till I have a nice 35-40 minute album to distribute. That's going to be so fun.

[JonM]

I hate a lot of my music, but recently I've started to feel very good about it. I should just post the instrumental track of the last song with Mike. Maybe it should stay instrumental.

The thing I wrote tonight is just a simple, acoustic 12-bar blues, and I might put some harmonica on top of it. Do you think I could pull that off?

Ah, I never listen to any of the music I've created or been a part of. The same goes for all the film work I've done and the things I've written. Crap, I even hate having to read essays I've done for my classes. Granted there are people who enjoy what I do but honestly I don't know why.

[JonM]

Do you find yourself not believing people when they tell you they like something? I'm crippled by that. I convince myself they're just being polite, and I'm not confident enough in it to know it's good on my own.

I don't know, I just figure if I don't like it they shouldn't either. But then again, I really don't care what people say anyway. I make music just for the sake of making it.

[JonM]

I'd like that to be true for me, but it always feels unfinished to me if its unappreciated, either by people (or me) not liking it or because I don't play it for anyone.

[The NPC]

Well I guess I've developed that mentality because I play live on street corners and such. You just jam away and basically say, musically of couse, "**** off" to everyone. Oh well, that's just how I am. My music is take it or leave it.

[JonM]

I played on a street corner one time, and it was really amazing, actually. I should try that again. It was in Providence at 3 AM, not at home, and since I'll be living there in 2 weeks, I should go to the same spot. My friend and I made $9 each, and we were only out there for about an hour.

Ah, I never accept money from anyone. I have a job and I don't need people's money. They can enjoy a free live show, too me that's cool.

[JonM]

Well, they gave it to me voluntarily, so it was fine by me.

I'm jeopardizing my immune system by ****ing with my sleep patterns, and the Lali Puna album is over, so I'm off to bed. Nice chatting with you, NPC.

[EightMilesHigh]

Does any band have better song titles than The Flaming Lips?

A.C. doesn't count of course, they're not even in the same LEAGUE :)

I think not.

So, as of this September, my older sister and neighbor/my best friend for the last eight years are moving away. It sucks.

[Zmev]

Have you ever walked home feeling sticky?

I hate that feeling.

[A Goonie]

stickiness can be bad

I do all of my masterbating at home, so not really

You must like some of your own stuff. I could never give people my music unless I like it myself. Enjoying your own music is more important than anything else I believe.

[Iai]

Greta, in that picture of you from a couple years ago, were you trying to look like Liz Phair on the cover of Exile In Guyville?

[The NPC]

Honesty I can't think of anything that I "like". It's just how I am I suppose. I'll make music because it's a release from everything else. But I've never been one to listen to the music I've produced or been a part of. That's why I think it's weird when people say they like the stuff I create and so on.

No, but I can see how you got that.

I'm like that too. I'm proud that I know I can make music of a certain standard, but until I make something that I would go out and buy myself I won't be satisfied.

/unless im completely missunderstanding you.

Hi, Snidget. :wave:

[snidget]

(cont. from YSI thread)

Is that Elvis' place?

[Iai]

For the second time in 3 days, I am staying up all night so that I'm not late for work, and am not tempted to bunk.

It's now 5.42am here. Cool.

[JonM]

Sure is. I also went to Sun Studios while I was there. And I also smoked pot with my uncle.

So I'm in a death metal band now.
We're a two piece (guitar/cowbell duo) called "Cannibal Mage"

The plan is to write a concept album about the lameset concept ever.

We actually are going to have more instruments on record than those two, but when we play live, we'll use a drum machine and have like 2 minute drum solos...from a machine.

I can see us blowing up

[JonM]

That's an incredible name, and an even more incredible concept. I can't wait to hear the results.

I'd have some music of my own to share if my whole life as I know it wasn't restarting from scratch as I sit and watch helplessly.

Well, If you have that second song ready (or just the instrumental), I'd love to hear it.

I'm glad you like the name/concept, btw, if anyone wants to do the logo/art for a death metal band called "Cannibal Mage", lemme know

[Zappa]

Making fun of Death metal will only work if you have a sincere appreciation and knowledge of the genre. I think all parody works like that, though.

[snidget]

we're not making fun of it, We just want to rock...hard...and talk about death

[Zmev]

Yea yea bullshit factory line one.

[snidget]

Yea yea bullshit factory line one.

:rolleyes: Seriously, we're a band conjured up by the Cannibal Mage to inform the modern world about his antics in the old world. It won't sound too much like Metal, and there won't be too much death, but we're taking up the badass persona. That's all there is to it

[masada]

Were capes and paint your faces white, with lots of black eyeliner.

And then play "The Safety Dance" for 20 minutes.

[snidget]

Actually, that's the best part, I forgot.

I get to wear a Sergeant Pepper's outfit!

[YDload]

yeah yeah yeah GIVE UP NOW

Zappa is a genius.

So I just found out there's a thread in R&M that namedrops me specifically as a great user, and that's why my rep was changed. Cool.

[Zappa]

In other news I just wrote a sort of European dance sounding tune inspired a Pavane by Gabriel Faure that I'm playing with the City Band.

[Iai]

I like Faure's stuff. One of the better composers I studied.

[Zappa]

I'd never heard anything by him until tonight (which was the rehearsal for this week's concert). I expressed my enjoyment of his Pavane to my mother, and she said that she also likes his work. I'll have to investigate.

Did you use any directions?

[br3ad_man]

I assembled a desk and a chair once.

I was a man.

Hmm, I'll have to talk to your parents about that.

[Happymeal]

I did.

[EightMilesHigh]

Morning, folks. How's everyone this fine Wednesday?

[Zappa]

I woke up with a bit of a sore throat, just like yesterday.

[Happymeal]

^Ginger tea is good for that.

[JonM]

I feel really terrible. I was giving my girlfriend tons of music for her new computer since she's leaving on Friday, and I accidentally copied over a folder that contained some two hours of recordings of various musical events at her camp, which she just worked at for the last time, and was trembling with excitement about. It's gone. I don't know what to do.

Well at least you didn't accidentally give her your p0rn folder.

When you said "copied over", I don't see the problem. You lost it from your comp? or both?

[JonM]

It was in a folder called "music," which I copied over accidentally with a new folder full of my music, and I clicked "replace."

oh ****, that sucks. I wish I could help, I say pretend like you don't know anything, and play dumb...but you're too good for that, so I doubt you'll do it

[JonM]

No, I would never do that. She'd never fall for it, either. I feel like a piece of ****.
