Oooh, now that's another good one.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

I know! Couldn't really find a decent picture of it, though.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

for those who inquired about kenan, i talked to him last night and he had been on the phone with his mom for a long time, and then after we hung up with me he was going to take a sleeping pill and get a good night's sleep. i hope he's feeling a little bit better this morning.

― Juulia (julesbdules), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

Phew. A good night's rest always helps. Thanks Julia.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

The last thread wasn't that long!

― Jeff. (Jeff), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

2x Jeff

― super yooper (waah christ dere eh pard?) (OutDatWay), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

yes, it was. we need to put on a 1000 answer cap.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

People should just stop posting.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, it wasn't that long by our standards. I like when they're too long because then random people are less likely to read them.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

whatever.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

Now, now.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

Just go into your settings and you can set it to show only the messages that you haven't read.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I don't really give two shits, I'm pretty much here to waste time and crack lame jokes anyway.

― super yooper (waah christ dere eh pard?) (OutDatWay), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

i am eating PIE for breakfast. i'd been trying to feed this chocolate pie to friends who came by but they ate my chocolate cookies instead (chocolate makes me jitteryweird, so i generally avoid it and foist it on others so that just maybe i can live vicariously thru their chocolate enjoyment). but i just couldn't stand to throw out a piece of chocolate pie. and OH MY GOD it is all french silky and incredible and i don't know if i can finish it because wooooo jitters but pie is an amazing, amazing thing.

and that is the story of my breakfast.

slso, jenny said something that totally made me laugh on the last thread so i was going to be all OMGLOL but now i've forgotten what it was, given my pie-high.

i kind of like length too (heh) because of waht amanda said.

― Juulia (julesbdules), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

i rolled out of bed this morning at the time that i'm supposed to be leaving my house. no breakfast, no coffee, no shave. i'm hungry tired and itchy right now.

dirtbombs tonight, that'll carry me through.

Jesse - re: roommate/massage - write her again!

Manda - Thanks for the Brain tip - I'm having dinner nearby Sunday eve and might crash that scene...

J. - New years resolution for 2006 - more pie for breakfast.

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

alex does an awesome cover of teenage head's "picture my face" too. check out the album on sftri, very good.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

Huh, Evan, I'm pretty sure Fakefictions could play the April 8th show, if you're into that sort of thing. I've never been to Ronny's, but I'm sure that's not surprising. Where is it again? Do they have a website?
I just listened to some sharks mp3s, which was fun. Also, I must say Sharks is the best name ever.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

By the way, this kind of scares me.

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Friday, 17 March 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Really?! That would be great! I'm still not totally sure of the arrangements, but we're hoping to talk to Ronny some time this weekend.

Ronny's does not have a website. I'd say that, if you haven't been before, you might want to check it out before signing on for anything. It is a full-on dive. Also: no BYOPA. Just sayin'. Still, that would be really cool!

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

I second Sharks as best name ever.

― super yooper (waah christ dere eh pard?) (OutDatWay), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

So they have a PA? Did you see that link I posted?

― Sarah Madkitten McLusky (coco), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

oops, I meant it's BYOPA. They don't have one. We rented from Old Towne last time.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

I also like Sharks.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

Previous best band name ever IMHO: Boba Fett & the Bounty Hunters.

― super yooper (waah christ dere eh pard?) (OutDatWay), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

...we thought about Hannibal and the Elephants for a while. But I think I've said that before.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

i just bought a synthesizer on ebay that i'm pretty sure i can't afford.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

awesome band the busy signals are featured in this weeks reader. the picture inverts kevin and jeremy's names however. i got a copy of some unmixed stuff from eric and the new stuff is unbef'inglievable. everytime i see them they're better than the last time. can't wait for the new 7", 'can't feel a thing' is 90-odd seconds of pressure pop goodness.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

i think i'm gonna have to sell a bike!

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

so little and cute!

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

Nice, I like that. Alesis seems to be a good brand.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:25 (nineteen years ago)

I really want this (the microphone is a VOCODER, omg):

http://www.vintagesynth.com/korg/microkorg.jpg

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

The size was a plus, for sure. I first saw it being played by this horrendous but lovable punk band that played with us at our last gig. Great sound! And a big step up from the $80 Yamaha I'm currently using.

Plus, I can use it for computery stuff.

xpost is that the microkorg? Yeah, the vocoder is neat, but the reviews I've read seem to think that the Micron (mine) has much much better synth sounds than the microkorg, at a similar pricepoint.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

just sayin'. The vocoder would be dope!

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

Evan, you're selling a SWEET bike for a 2-octave keyboard?? The keyboard is cute and red and delightfully boxy but is that a good trade?

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, it is the Microkorg. I liked the synth sounds on it, but I really don't know anything about this stuff at all. I like that it's all about synth sounds, though, instead of my keyboard, which is one of those ones that can replicate hundreds of different instruments but none particularly well.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

That's what I'm using right now, too. The micron is all synthy with knobs and shit.

L: here's the thing about the sweet bike (frame). Building it up would cost another few hundred bucks, which I don't have. My current bike is totally functional, just not pretty and Japanese. Plus, I got the new one at an unfairly low price (guy didn't know any better), which means that I can turn aroundn and flip it on ebay for, if I'm lucky, twice what I bought it for.

― gbx (skowly), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

That's what I'm using right now, too

Yes, but mine costs ten times as much as yours!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

(Although if you would like to sell me the one you're using now, I might be interested, since my second-string keyboard was also stolen in the great Auto Theft of October '05, and I'd like something to have at home while the good keyboard stays at the practice space.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

XP: Okay, all true. Also, keyboard easier to fit into moving van than bicycle, and both are easier to move than a piano. !!

Someone named E*** and someone named J*** C********* should both check their email.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

thanks! will listen at home!

I'm the only one actually signed into AIM, according to Laurel. And you all were talking about how people think you slack at work...

What? I'm totally on.

Okay, I'm totally wrong.

Jebus! 6 AIM windows instead of my usual 1. So much for 2000 message threads, now it'll be all IMed!

thank god.

seriously: can someone get a room going?

i'm jbdules on aim. you guys saying NOT to read the income thread just tempted me to read it. ouch.

I waste too much time on this thread. Sorry, I am not jumping in a chatroom with y'all.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:28 (nineteen years ago)

Laurel, show yourself!

― regular roundups (Dave M), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

I would like to pleasure myself, but I'm really too tired and hung. Over.

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

oh, chatting! I was doing work, whoa! and then I was cleaning my bathroom! I'm all lightheaded now.
I'm poemabtevrything on AIM - I have never actually AIMed :o
I do the gchat though sometimes - the email address below but swap the yahoo for the g mail.

I like My Morning Jacket and have even seen them live! They have a lot of hair.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:40 (nineteen years ago)

anyone in GMAIL chat? ITS THE NEW AIM 2006

― POOP BITCH (Mandee), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:42 (nineteen years ago)

Whoa, Dave: revelation from listening to the Prince stuff you sent. "Delirious" (which I'd heard before but didn't own) is the source of the baby-gurgling sample in Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody?"

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:45 (nineteen years ago)

Oh rly?

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:47 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to go take a vicodin and watch the Deer Hunter. Someone come get me when it's dinner time.

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:48 (nineteen years ago)

I'll be in the bed.

― Daddy's Little Duder (unclejessjess), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:48 (nineteen years ago)

(xxp) It's in the last two seconds of the song. Not even sure why it's there at all, really.

Jesse's new username reminds me of Adam, for some reason. Did Adam have a username like that once?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:49 (nineteen years ago)

i think i sort of understand aim...

i have d-led some steve reich! And now something called The Ear1y Gurus of E1ectronic Music is d-ling! the torrent excitement of it all.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:56 (nineteen years ago)

What did you download? I was trying to send you Electric Counterpoint, which is three short sections entitled "Fast," "Slow, and (ahem) "Fast." The second "Fast" section is sampled in the Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds."

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 22:59 (nineteen years ago)

Never heard the Aaliyah song, John. Not that I know of, at least.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:00 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to go take a vicodin and watch the Deer Hunter.

Hooray Walken!

― Joe Polniaczek (kenan), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

(xp) Oh, it's a really fantastic song. Rhythmically propulsive in a really unusual way.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

See y'all tomorrow.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:02 (nineteen years ago)

What album is it on?

― regular roundups (Dave M), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:04 (nineteen years ago)

Nothing from 18 musicians yet - but i think it's on its (very very slow) way. Nagoya Marimba is playing now. A couple fairly random others - Landing of the spirit of 76? So it would be nice if you ysi-ed Fast, Slow, Fast :)

I like the idea of group chatting. Like the old days of IRC.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:05 (nineteen years ago)

"Nagoya Marimba" is good and fairly typical Reich, although nothing to get too excited about.

Is "18 Musicians" downloading in parts? Because it's really one approx. hour-long piece and should only be listened to that way -- you have to listen to how each section ebbs and flows into the next. I have the original 1978 ECM recording, which keeps it as one track on the CD, but subsequent recordings may vary.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:11 (nineteen years ago)

For some reason, I think you'd also be interested in Different Trains -- where Reich samples voices of Holocaust survivors and then has the Kronos Quartet replicate the musicality of the phrases on strings.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:12 (nineteen years ago)

All of this chatting everywhere is really overwhelming me. My friend apologized for being a bitch, though. So no rant. Anyway, peace for now.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:14 (nineteen years ago)

ATTENTION EVERYONE IN CHICAGO AND THE WORLD: I CHANGED MY MIND. JENNY CALLED ME AND I'M GOING TO MEET HER FOR A DRINK AT A MATHERFACKING BAR.

I have the The Early Gurus of Electronic Music set. Haven't listened to it in forever.

I figured out today that Beck samples Them songs on TWO DIFFERENT songs on Odelay.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:24 (nineteen years ago)

Dave -- not sure what album the Aaliyah song is on. All the Aaliyah I have is free-floating mp3s.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 March 2006 23:30 (nineteen years ago)

I AM ON DSL AND IT IS AWESOME

HOLY SHIT

I JUST DOWNLOADED A 4 MEG SONG IN LIKE 30 SECONDS

THIS IS BLOWING MY MIND

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 24 March 2006 00:38 (nineteen years ago)

Where do the kids download their illegal music these days?

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 24 March 2006 00:39 (nineteen years ago)

|nd|3t0rr3nts? I dunno, that's the only one I use, really.

Want an invite?

― super yooper (waah christ dere eh pard?) (OutDatWay), Friday, 24 March 2006 00:44 (nineteen years ago)

SURE WHAT THE FUCK

I was going to YSI some songs that I'm liking these days so that you guys could listen to them as a celebration of us having DSL but I think maybe YSI isn't cool anymore or something

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 24 March 2006 00:53 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know about YSI, supposedly it isn't working right?

Check yer email, and read the FAQs... the people can be bastards on that site.

― super yooper (waah christ dere eh pard?) (OutDatWay), Friday, 24 March 2006 00:56 (nineteen years ago)

THNX

I just tried to open YSi and it wasn't working so I guess you're right

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 24 March 2006 00:58 (nineteen years ago)

Dan, where did you email? My address is naamme @ yahoo.com

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 24 March 2006 01:03 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Dan, can I have one too? I've never used one of those sites before. Should I not jump into the abyss? Or should I?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 24 March 2006 01:05 (nineteen years ago)

Is it gauche of me to ask?

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 24 March 2006 01:05 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, you don't know my address. It's ha n d ym a n da at geemail dot com without all the weird spaces. I mean, if you decide to invite me. I'm not saying you have to.

This is totally gonna get me nominated for MOST CONFIDENT ILX POSTER, isn't it?!?!?!

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 24 March 2006 01:07 (nineteen years ago)

Shit, I think I might have only put one "m." I'll send another.

No, of course you can have one, Amanda! Just need a working email address. (The yahoo one works for me if you'd like to send it there.)

Also, in case you guys don't know, torrents can be kind of a pain in the ass, sometimes. At least on this site.

xpost: email address duly noted!

― super yooper (waah christ dere eh pard?) (OutDatWay), Friday, 24 March 2006 01:08 (nineteen years ago)

OK, guys. Emails sent!

― super yooper (waah christ dere eh pard?) (OutDatWay), Friday, 24 March 2006 01:12 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks Dan! I'm looking around now, trying to figure out how it works.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Friday, 24 March 2006 01:24 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, I've got a good photo or two of Jordan and Maddie from last night. Nice folks. I hope they come to our town a few times this year.

I had an idea for a new thread today on the drive back from Wisconsin, and it's:
