Damn! how many of your grandparents' organs did you have to dig up and sell on the black market to get this thing?!

Still holding out hope for the mac book.. but it's looking like I'd have to go for the pro if I want the stability I want.

Grr. It's tough to wait. I know that if I wait a few months the boards will be chalk full of experiences that will spell out how I should go, laptop-wise.

Besides, I've got a zero income rate going anyway.

Hey, I saw this article on optimizing OS X macs for audio. Unfortunately, it's only for Jaguar and Panther.. Still, you might be able to glean some good things from it.

It's rare that I latch onto something and become a true fanatic, but it looks like it's happening with the Zelda series. I'd love to meet Shigeru Miyamoto (Zelda creator, as well as Mario and a bunch of other Nintendo series) and, you know, shake his hand. His vision has provided me and zillions of other people with years and years of entertainment. I can only aspire to that sort of thing.

Hey, thanks for the heads up on the DJ gig. I sent "them" an email.
What's up with that 80's show?

I say, have both websites!

Serioiusly. Things have been sorta dead lately. Be part of the solution!

At least have the two co-exist for a while.

When the summer is over activity here will peak again and people will want to know where to find you.
Then there are the newbies who inevitably show up...

I think it's a great move to start a music specific site for yourself.
Not that you don't have focus already, but it will be good to channel that into one online presence. Giving you the ability to sort it out and grow in some unknown direction. Excellent idea!

Hey Noise. When you get a chance, I would greatly value any thoughts that you might have in the selection of amps in the topic I posted in the bass players' group.

VERY NICE!

And ORGANIC BEER!!!
Can't beat that!

YO. you're online. we should try out this chat thing!!!!

I'll be in the Recording Group's room. Be there or be square!

edit: augh, you jerk. you just left.

Anyway. Regarding the software freakout, if it's the version that you're currently using, then I know someone who was using that version from the same source and once in a while, when working with rewire, it would crash and fail to load, but it would never do the things you're talking about..

methinks that the software is becoming conscious. Fuck the hardware, the hardware is only a pawn for the software's malicious will. The software is formed in code, but its essence is uncorporeal!! Ghosts in the Shell? How prophetic is that to humanity's future of slavery under reiterative loop-based beings?

anyway.. hopefully it's not fucking up your songs. Live 4 fucked up all my Live 3 songs: just removed all of the sample anchors and fucked up all the tempos of each sample.. shitty. The new version that I got is golden, though.

I've been such a shit for keeping in touch. I just can't find a lot of time for this website anymore, and am seriously considering canceling my membership here.

If you're thinking about making a trip up here, let me know. I would love to meet you.
I hope your summer is going well so far.

i use public toilets and i piss on the seats im an asshole sing it with me a s s h o l e come on every one

I was really high. Lying in bed. Eyes closed. That music started playing. I thought I was in for stoned pee wee watching. I almost came in my paints. And by almost I mean I totally need new underwear now.

Yeah man, thanks for the feedback, definitely taken in the spirit of discourse.

i hear you on the tennessee thing. if it weren't. . . . you know. . . tennessee. . . i'd like living there. it is so beautiful compared the the flatness of florida.

Thanks for the specs on that bass! I'm not really a super big fan of the carvin amps, but I have yet to play a carvin bass.

I too am the paris hilton of bass face expression. Speaking of which, ProphetNoise, you should collect all your live bass playing pictures and do something like this (turn down your computer speakers).

Also, my bass-face is also my O-face. (ohhh.. ohhhhh.. ohHHH)

About the bunny? He didn't get any frequent flier miles. He took the train. From California to China. Then, from China, he took a magic carpet ride to Kathmandu, where he caught a unicorn-mule to India.

Nothing much happened on that leg of the journey except for a certain incident at one of the borders, but the little bunny has repressed that memory, and he won't have to deal with the repurcussions of that event (with interest) for at least 20 years. Up until then, the bunny will have a greeat life.

Important Question:
I TOTALLY was a freakin' idiot and fried my buddy's laptop's sound card. I put a 1/4 of a MONITOR OUTPUT FROM A PA signal into his laptop MIC INPUT. Yes, yes, I'm beating myself up as it is.

To make up for it, I'm going to go get him a PCMCIA sound card. I was just gonna go for the base model as he's not too into making music, and doesn't really care too much about the sound. Just that it does make sound. Creative okay for this? Or are there any other models with better deals?

And your dating profile? If I was a girl, I'd tell you that you were adorable. But I'm a guy (and a manly one at that) so I am bound by the International Order of Asshole Beater-wearing Jackasses (Oh! a BJ!) to say you're a softy. Soft as soft serve.

I fucking love Engrish dot com!!!! It makes me very happy. Several of the things you posted have been in my journal at some point.

Your listening is all great stuff.

I am on a Paul McCartney and Cars trip right now.

For the love of god, I just posted like a zillion times in the music groups, and I'm fairly certain that little under 25% will know what I'm talking about, and that same group will already know it, and know it better than I.

Blehh.

Don't worry about the recycling of the tunes. As the great sage, Q-tip has said, "things go in cycles," and there's nothing wrong with meditating on such (excellent) music.

Have you tried yogurt in your oatmeal? Yogurt tends to be sour, but it might be a good kick in your tastebuds.

Thanks for the tip about the emergency room.. problem is, I've been there before so they know that I have insurance. Farking evil bastards.

I too hate (with all caps) people who can't handle themselves when the shit hits the fan. And as much my roommate diffused my.. *ahem* dissatisfaction, I won't be able to interact with him quite the same way again, and it's a shame.

You may or may not dig Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.. it can be a bit heavy handed and pretentious, but it puts forth interesting theories on Quality (capitalization intended) and its significance in driving people to strive for it, and forsake.. uh.. shitty things.

It's time I get off the computer.
