As in number of staff?

yes

Just over 50, maybe nearing 60 now

:o

Yeah, I know

I remember when I started, less than 20 of us and that was only a year ago!

heh

8)

muz, what do you think of the new nightwish singer?

It's okay, not too fussed

I outgrew Nightwish a while ago :P

oha :)

Just about anything is better than Tarja.

8)

Comparing her to Tarja will get you nowhere :P

Both sound nice to me, and that's as far as I can go when it comes to caring

There's one positive thing worth mentioning in Tarja: for some reason I completely fail to understand, she moved into my former hometown with her husband

(which happens to be an industrial backwater full of idiots)

Hehe

Jugdish: Are you sure? They're working alright for me and for BrianFreud. :-S

yeah

!whois Jugdish

Aankhen``: I don't know Jugdish in #musicbrainz. Jugdish's current language is en. Jugdish is a member of 2 groups: public, www

Jugdish: Give it another try?

i'm using mirc...i double-click YAUB to open a PM window, and type !upc2asin 1234567890 and get no response

Everything looks alright.

Try !whoami in PM.

Or even just whoami. You don't need the trigger if you're in PM.

nothing :(

Hmm, weird.

!quit

Jugdish: What about now?

still nothing :/ i wonder if the problem is on my end?

Mmm.

I'm seeing the privmsgs.

I'll have to investigate further.

ok

inhouseuk_ is now known as inhouseuk

Jugdish: not receiving PMs?

I had to do something with nickserv

i'm registered with nickserv

nickserv /?

Aankhen``: are you reg'd?

Oh yeah.

oh

i can receive PMs, it's just YAUB is ignoring me :P

It's not a registered nick.

ok then I don't know :)

oh

So if you've got that mode set on you, which stops you from receiving messages from unregistered nicks...

well there is a nickserv filter that you can toggle to allow unreg'd nicks to pm you

exactly

which mode is that?

unfiltered

send /msg nickserv set unfiltered on

unfiltered on/off

i'm currently +ei

not sure if that's relevant

good thoughts on the list, both of you

+e means registered, I think.

thoughts? http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=6962171

Actually, I don't know.

cooperaa: Is that a generic date cover, or the cover for that actual release?

it is fan-created art for that bootleg

that kinda looks like a the back rather than the front

looks like a front to me...

Jugdish: the back is proof

cooperaa: circulating boot (not a pressed one)?

the url goes to front

oohhh

<-- slow

yep, not pressed

then yeah, I'd say it's good

see Jugdish? He's going further than I did for boot covers :) Nice to see another coverart pioneer cooperaa, lol

heh

:) love me some coverart

but

I don't know if I'll do much

because... I've already arted my entire library

My only concern here cooperaa

and I don't know if it's worth it to trudge through waybackmachine to re-find them just for MB

At least with the pressed boots, I could use the excuse that I was just showing the cover to a release, irregardless of status

But this goes a step further, pointing to fan created art for a unpressed release....

does that cross the legality line?

which are available freely (if you go to metcoverart.com)

lol, I know - same exists for Nirvana

I would prefer to be able to direct link to that domain

with their permission

I'm just wondering if we have to worry about that

did you read the wiki?

lol, I helped write it :P

the waybackmachine part?

yes

k

the intent from ruoak, I believe, was the liners for pressed boots

just not sure if circulating w/fan art would be protected as well

not from legalities with the art designer, but with the band

they haven't shut down metcoverart.com yet

ok

lol... as we tread the grey line :P

heh

do we have a template asking for permission yet?

no

argh

I gave it the yes - I just worry it provides ammo for the anti-wayback people on MB

oh it definitely would

the distinction between the two types of boots tends to get lost in their eyes

k well I think I'm going to post on the forum at MCA

for permission from the artists, at least, you mean?

from the site

ok

because I'm pretty sure the fan-artists give up their rights to the site

you may want to cancel this one for the moment then, so they don't come looking and see it already being used

ya... I think I will

if you get permission, it'd prob be good - one page I want to eventually set up

a subpage for coverart,

I'd rather go the openly permissible way :)

for labels / sites that have given permission

like the Sub Pop note I left in the comments

yeah - if it's Kiss the Stone, that's one thing... But when it's fan art, that's the other side of the line, I think

KTS = big pressed bootleg company

Can I get an opinion? Helping a newbie... What title would you give this 10 cd set? http://www.membran.net/img/222914_front.jpg

Billie Holiday (Disc 1)?

Billie Holiday (disc 1: Summertime)

etc would be what I would do

doesn't look like the discs are actually subtitled

looks like those are just big name songs in the set

Those aren't the namesof the discs?

Ahh

Personally, I'd go with Billie Holiday (disc 1) then, I could be proved otherwise though

yeah, I think that's best

damn these cheapie sets... lol

ugly listings :P

quick: example of CBBaby and Archive art-ed releases :)

LOL

where can I read about how to tag genres?
