maybe I should have put "formed in 1994 and are the three persons that *were* the non-singing members of Sade (the group)" I was using the group as a reference instead of naming them individually

yeah, that would be good, as tehy've all had fairly successful careers w/o helen adu

have Sweetback released any material under that name?
2005-11-27 33130, 2005
inhouseuk knows it isn't this artist http://musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid=38902 which appears to be an all female group
2005-11-27 33136, 2005
yllona
yes, i seem to remember a release, altho i can also think of other bands named sweetback (as well as famous movie)
I think the hardware side of Sony is pretty damn good. Unfortunately the rest of it is ran by idiots and they tend to hurt everything about the company.

I think Hi/Net MD is probably the best example of something being ruined by vested interests.
inhouseuk likes box sets and well produced compliation releases

I like a lot of artists, but not always all the material they have released. For my favourite artists I have virtually all their albums. For the rest, I tend to just buy their popular work on compilations albums
2005-11-27 33116, 2005
yllona
yeah, altho ssome of the music i listen too is only available on compilations, so i don't have a choice
the audio compression advances over the last few years has been fantastic for me. I have my whole collection available at the touch of a couple of buttons and all the CD's are boxed away in a cupboard
2005-11-27 33128, 2005

me too. i have a couple thousand CDs, and at least a thousand LPs, and i'm still ripping music. and the ipod id the greatest thing ever (and i had portable LP players, cassette and even 8-track)
2005-11-27 33110, 2005

In fact I don't even listen to new purchases before ripping and encoding them
2005-11-27 33133, 2005

2005-11-27 33132, 2005
nikki_
because I have a script which does an mb lookup
2005-11-27 33114, 2005
nikki_
so it's something like insert cd. use cdlookup.py to add cd, run my script, remove cd

the LP is clamped from both sides and the pickup slides across the disc on a rail
in the US there was also a portable LP player marketed to kids in the '70s
2005-11-27 33118, 2005

something like "[mumble] 'N Play"
2005-11-27 33107, 2005

The daughter of the guy who wrote the Funk Gibbon was on TV a while back here. I think she was expecting to sit behind a desk for the entirity of the show - her dress was so short you could see her underwear when she stood up. Not a great look.
