« on: December 12, 2007, 11:31:11 AM »

does anyone know when this and the s-s 7" (nothing people) were recorded? how far apart, that is? which was done earlier. i love the hozac 7" but am a bit tepid on the s-s, moreso the b-side.

Jean-Claude Pelletier's "Streakin." he's white, he's french and it rules.
Other stuff that hasn't been mentioned that i can think of is The Politicians - "Psycha-Soula-Funkadelic."

if you go to just about any rap message board in world of web this exact same debate goes on endlessly over the word "classic." my favorite that i've seen is when people argue, "well, it's a personal classic."

Non-Music Shit / Re: What are your own rules for mixtapes?

« on: December 03, 2007, 07:14:56 AM »

for some reason i always assumed this was common practice but i guess not, i usually treat it like a line up for a baseball team batting order. start out first with something quick and will get on, go second with something that will advance the runner, 3-5 bring in your heavy power, go with your utility for 6-7, 8 thrown on something that you may not expect to get the job done but occasionally will surprise, and then with 9 put on something you have to put on (i do this by NL rules).

Then after the 9th song i just start the order over with new songs.

i bought a copy of this a few years ago because of the album cover & because they did a cover of "you're gonna miss me." what is the last song on there? it is on one of the KBD comps. it is a great song & i remember it being better than everything else on there. i'll have to dig it out and give it another chance though.

couple of thoughts:

first, i think it is the right thing to come on here and vent and ask not to do it.  i am an mp3 download defender and i think it makes perfect sense what you are saying.
& lawyers, fake files, etc is not worth a label's time or money anyhow and it won't do a thing in the grand scheme.

secondly, it's true, what hex says is probably the case for how a lot ends up on slsk. you have one shared folder. i haven't used slsk in many months but my shared folder was My Music on my C drive, which had all the music on my computer and where every song i ripped from my cd to my computer to put into my mp3 player went there. so once you load slsk back up it's up there too. you're right, it does show how a lot of it is treated to an extent. it's made music completely available everywhere and easily disposable. i'm just a consumer so i'm perfectly fine with that because i've spent more in the past year on music than i have in the past 10. i now know what i like so when i hear it and know it, i buy it, but i usually keep most of the stuff i don't stored somewhere either out of laziness or just to archive.

third is and this is probably hard to believe and doesn't seem to match up with your numbers, especially with the a-frames stuff but a download does not equal a lost sale. however, cds are over. putting out cds is not longer a good idea. as a producer i can only imagine how infuriating it must be particularly since this is such insulated crowd offerings but the consumption/distribution model has ended cds. sure they still sell to an extent, fuck the eagles just sold 700k in wal-mart but i don't want another cd and i've got hundreds and hundreds of them. i bought a copy of the first a-frames on cd from you b/c i needed a high quality very of 'surveillance' for a project (school) and still regret that i own it on cd. i never listen to cds and when i do listen to that album it is via mp3. i can play my mp3 player on my stereo. the cd media form is no longer necessary. i'm sure you know this and i don't think people have really figured out what next yet, but it really is that way. the best thing i've seen so far was the dead canary release of "walk into the sea" where you could buy the mp3 download or get it free with purchase of lp.

that said, when it comes to downloading music,  i would love to download the Los Llamarada album, for example, because i don't know what i think of clips i've heard. but there's no sure thing that i'd buy it even if i liked it. and i wouldn't expect labels to just offer it free and hope that people bought it if they liked it. but buying is most likely be based on several factors not the least of which are money and what else exists that someone also want to own. is that fair to you (not the literal you) as the person who put out the album. not exactly, but it no longer makes sense for me (not the literal me) to spend money on guesses anymore, regardless of how informed they might be.

yeah there is something magical about getting something you don't know anything about and putting it on for the first time and i personally still do that if i buy 2 thing i've downloaded i'll get 1 or i've never heard.  that may mean i am people like me treat music less and it is hard for me to argue one way or the other cause i don't know the effect of that.

maybe it wasn't always like this but i think consumers have added themselves to the process in a way that the creators and producers don't like because of what it might do to sales. but as cheesy as it sounds in one way the music is like the electromagnetic waves it is everything all around. there is so much music now and it is so easy to get and so easy to share that it is pretty much a surrounding force. it's less that it mean nothing than that it is just part of life. i wouldn't think twice about burning a cd for someone, or pointing them to a download and it happens to me all day because for one i don't think that means a lost sale, although i guess you could argue in a different time someone would have bought the album, but i would say in a different time it just wouldn't have been shared bought or otherwise. and in a different time i wouldn't even be wondering what it los llamarada sounds like. then again one might think what makes me think i have a right to know what the full album sounds like, and you'd be right in some sense. but overall the question might be can people change once technology has changed them? they can but they would have to really want to. but you're right the real problem is if there is a way back into the bottle for how the future is going to handle music. if it is on a cd i don't think there is.

anyhow, above and beyond that outside of metallica asking someone not to share an album i think anyone involved in the creation of an album currently for sale should be able to ask and should get compliance with someone sharing that album, so good luck hopefully you reach some ears, and folders.

Did anyone mention Evilspeak? Great, well decent, movie staring Clint Howard summoning satanic pigs through his 1981 computer. Nevermind just typing that reconvinced me it is great. Plus Bull from Night Court has a cameo in the opening whipping a virgin on beach.

speaking of algebra, i hate to shatter the world of the white mind but in the 12th century the text "on the hindu art of reckoning" was translated into latin. the book by a guy named Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was a Baghdad scholar. His name was "latinized" as Algoritmi which rolled over into Algorithm.

so what i am saying is you can thank saddam you are sitting in your mom's basement in your underwear eating cheetos typing on the internet.

July 5, 2008, the major label weird punk crossover album "Still Nox BBQ X" is released by Killer Cum, a 'collective' of 18 year olds in headbands, short shorts and high tops, which causes the the weird punk community(tm) to cry foul after the band admits to the press that they have not yet taken acid.
