Foolish. If only.

No problem, man. Which was your favorite?

The Best Bitter, but they were all really good.

I've got a Steam Whistle in my hand.

I regretfully drank my last beer when I first came home. I have plenty of whiskey to tide me over though.

[QUOTE=Efrim;17226860]The Best Bitter, but they were all really good.[/QUOTE]

Excellent. Good taste. The Best Bitter is my favorite too, and the only one that I can drink in larger quantities. The porter and the stout kill me after one.

Yeah, same, but maybe more than one. I drank them while I ate barbecued lamb and beef (on separate occasions).

Bastard. That sounds delicious.

Then again, Maude and I ate really well for the entire duration of our trip, so I can't complain. Had a lovely veal dinner at the hotel. Didn't realize that Quebecers were so big on their veal.

Because their beef sucks, so they make up for it by eating the babies.
I bought a blade steak for 4 dollars yesterday. It was big enough to last me for three meals, and tasted better than any of the sirloins I bought in Montreal.
Too bad its the opposite for lamb here.

Ah, that would explain it, then. Thankfully even the French can't screw up chicken. No one can screw up chicken. :/

Lamb is delicious, though. Also: still craving more pickles.

Also, if anyone cares, I found out that not only am I graduating with my honours degree in English Language and Literature, but that I am graduating with distinction (from what I understand, it's like honours ++, based on having a high GPA in the courses related to my program).

I just bought a Free Speech pedal. lawl

Due to some Sri Lankan holiday, I don't have work this Friday.

Also, Victoria Day is a week from Monday, so that's another day off.

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;17226652]It was already dying when I became a mod. I took the position because no one else was modding... and I hardly have done anything as a mod. Which is about as much as any other mod did. I tried a few competitions and things to try and keep the place going, but nothing worked so I just let it die.[/QUOTE]

Who wants to do a looping comp?

Who loops, anyway? :confused:

[QUOTE=BenJammin;17227130]Who loops, anyway? :confused:[/QUOTE]

Losers. So you're in?

[QUOTE=EADGCF;17227178]Losers. So you're in?[/QUOTE]

Depends. Does it have to be with bass only? Or at all?

[size=2]Fu[/size]ck bass only. Anything goes is the only way to do it. With a theme, obivously, but any instruments you play should be allowed. Make it only bass if you choose, but don't limit anyone to just bass if they want to do more.

I'm thinking:

- Any type of sound goes
- At least one instrument played by you
- No pre-made loops
- Sequencing of anything you wrote is ok
- Any and all effects ok
- You can use a looper or you can multi-track it

I'm totally down for that, then.

Goddamn it. I wish I could record at home. :upset:

I'd so get in on this. I just don't have a good computer. Maybe in a couple of months, if you guys want to start doing comps again, I'd get involved. I just need to wait until I have the money for a good computer and basic recording gear so that I can record at home.

You can.

Neither do I.

And yeah, I encourage people to experiment with as many kinds of sounds as they want. I don't really encourage anyone to do just bass ([B][I]yawn...[/I][/B]) but of course you [I]can[/I].

I don't really see the need for an additional theme either, personally.

[QUOTE=EADGCF;17227222]You can.

My computer is just effed.

It can't play music off the HD without skipping like a scratched CD. It can't play streaming audio or video unless it's completely loaded, or else it just skips and stutters.

I doubt it could properly run a recording program.

Well, I meant that looping would be the theme here. Whatever the general idea for the comp is is all that needs to be specified, the instruments that you use should be up to you. Although you should actually have to play an instrument and record it. Pretty much the only rule I can come up with.
