        Yeah, we've had excellent weather for most of the September, so I guess it's time for fall now.

        summer here in ca.us has been coolish. then in the last few days its been 36C...
      • 2005-10-01 27447, 2005

      • srotta
        We've had something like 18C during days, that's pretty good for September. Now it's below 10C, though.

        I'm going through my music collection, decided to tag them using MusicBrainz... I was wondering, if you could give me a hand concerning the policy for multiple band names.
      • 2005-10-01 27432, 2005

      • srotta
        Basically, I have several albums by J. Karjalainen, who has done music for about 25 years. He's done it with about three bands, and in addition, I think there's at least one album that has only his name.
      • 2005-10-01 27436, 2005

      • srotta
        The current MusicBrainz information seems to have most of the albums under "J. Karjalainen", and a couple under "J. Karjalainen Yhtyeineen", "J. Karjalainen ja Mustat Lasit" and "J. Karjalainen Electric Sauna"...
      • 2005-10-01 27457, 2005

      • srotta
        Well, you get the picture. However, most, if not all, of those albums under "J. Karjalainen" are actually officially recorded under those other names. So, should I edit album information, or not?
      • 2005-10-01 27401, 2005

      • srotta
        Fact is, of course, that all of those are commonly known as "J. Karjalainen" - even though there's always been a named band behind him, and it's been on record labels, those guys are quite invisible compared to the lead.

        There are changes in the composition of the band, though, so I guess in that sense they should definitely be separated...

        Yep, I've tagged those pretty carefully myself, so I have the information handy.

      • ruaok
        if you have links to a site that shows where you gathered that info, it would be good to add as a moderation note.
