hmmm... BM&TW anyone? :P

bye YAUB, we'll miss you :)

lol brian

catgroove: but vivian jackson is yabby you.. he can't be & himself on the same _song_ (even if that is in fact what was on the cover :)

I hope you mergedthem :)

then there's the ones where the what looks like a mess is actually right :)

lauri: I didn't say I agreed, I said i know people who think that whgats on the cover is what the only thingis should be, sincethey want to tag their files

sly and robbie + black uhuru + michael rose heh

sly & robbie were rhythm section in, but not members of black uhuru, and michael rose was the lead singer for black uhuru for years

but after he left, black uhuru (sometimes with sly & robbie, sometimes without) often supported him live

and on a few festival live releases, all three played, separately, except it was the exact same people on stage for all three performances :)

lol, time for creative AR use :P

so yeah that's pretty much why i do reggae in very small sessions

do some more sessions!

do a barrelroll!

oh yeah!

ok

foodtime

and according to my own annotation

:D

catgroove is now known as foodmo

after 19 years, the got back together...

but now they're called 'Black Uhuru featuring Michael Rose'

:)

:P

HairMetalAddict: Arigato. :)

yeah, the fun problem of not being able to have multiple date ranges

you can, for band memberships at least, that helps a lot :)

although it results in some seriously wonky displays

there yes - but I mean strictly for the artist it/them/she/heself

I'd just like the 'changed their name to' one

not aiming too high

just wanna fix the teddybears properly :)

yup

I said it, an i'll say it again

now, though, you realize, the counter argument the people who oppose "change name to" involves specifically creating artists for whom there may be nothing but ARs... :D

I mentioned more than one daterange should be able

and NOBODY LISTENS TO ME :D

lol

♪ nobody listens totechno ♪

:P

ok ,nei, food!

you don't dance to techno anymoooore

a3, great band (y'all should check them out, even if you only ever heard the sopranos theme song)

yo brian, mo

wanna help me sort out king tubby some time?

lol, toss him on the cotm suggestions board

not 100%, but I *think* the Dubliners are next up

i have him down to I think... 40? collaborations

and that's not even really touching all the production stuff

although really, most of those are more production than performing

fun fun

the more I try to get rid of bogus artists for the Marley circle, the more I realize we could spend the next year cleaning just Jamaican reggae and not be done

raggae will be problematic. be sure to check ascap, bmi and sesac for proper credits

we talked about that when we first started

but it's turned out to somewhat be a non issue

composer.song writing attribution, that is

right

oh man, I haven't even touched any of that yet either

problem is, there's so few ppl doing this cotm, we've got our hands full, even after a month, still just cleaning up the releases, artists, etc

roots archive is a godsend

agreed

happy birthday luks :)

umm

and most of the little reggae labels have really smart helpful people if you ask sensible questions :)

thanks :)

grattis luks

george clinton will be the next mess to clear up. he just re-gained rights to all of his tunes. he had a very crooked/criminal manager that forged signatures on contracts back in the day. george spent almost 20 years in the courst

i was just thinking about the reggae artists in the same situation

eerie

lol, lauri, I'm not sure anyone really knows who "owns" half the Marley stuff anymore, let alone some of the details :P

well there's been massive lawsuits going on in england and europe over rights to a lot of it

there's yet another Marley court case going on right now... $60 mil lawsuit

Jugdish: Having fun? LOL

the marley estate is a *huge* mess. that's why is you check ascap, it says "please call for clearances" ;)

yup

oh not marley, lots of smaller reggae artists, who had their rights virtually stolen in the late 70's

and are starting to get them back now

and when you call, even they don't know half the time

brianfreud: got a rudimentary version of the script @ http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9838 -- it doesn't do everything i'd like it to do but should be functional for the most part. play around with it and let me know of any problems you run into, i'm going to bed :P

oh here it is: www.definiterecords.com front page

Cool, thanks, I'll test it out :)

that's one of them (they are still fighting that, even though that 2 year old press release says it got a ruling)

Looked like you were having fun testing it :D

lauri: i get a domain squat for www.definitercords.com

oops

* www.definiterecords.com

.net

sorry

reading the list of artists in those judgements is pretty amazing (and they aren't all only the lesser known artists)

sorry, hit the legal news link, it's all there

basically half of jamaica went after half the record industry over royalties and publishing rights

the reggae legal mess, is phenomenal -- similar to US R & B/Blues before the Sam Cooke era

the interesting thing here is that they won, without too much trouble

the majority of the fight is record labels trying to get the payments cut down

Jugdish: VERY IMPRESSED!!!!!!! :)

:D

just tried it on the production side... worked like a charm :)

well fix it, so i can install it then

yllona: by the time i've waded through half of one album, it's usually gone all my time for one day, and all my energy for a week

lauri: what do you consider "without too much trouble"? that case in France has been in the courts for *years*

hmmm, just checked, looks like all worked find. /me wonders at what the bug can be

s/find/fine

brianfreud: try clicking the button without entering anything in one of the text fields and you'll see

yllona: well, not exactly without too much trouble

oh, hmm, didn't try that, lol

yllona: more that it was typically big corporation stalling about amounts, jurisdictions, technicalities

only did what a normal person would do. You really want me to try and break it, hmmm :P

yeah, that's normal.

not arguing the case that they in fact did not do a bad bad thing

(whoa, triple negatives ftw)

hmm, yeah, that is kinda a bad bug

ok, for now i'm just going to make issue an error if you try to submit a blank textfield, i will patch it up properly tomorrow :P

:)

then I'll get you to look at my python, see if you can figure out why I'm managing to break PicardQT with the latest version, lol

got to love triggering the "error occurred" message without causing any log entries

:P

heh

nor do I, that's the fun part :)

one of those languages i've been meaning to learn at some point

but the posted versions of the plugins work! that has to count for something! :)

well, that is, they work unless you try to use them on a release instead of a cluster... :P

all you need to know about python is that it's evil

lol

you know python lauri?

i am indentation challenged

so no, python is not for me

i like tabs, damnit

and my own tab settings, my way

prettycode :)

and i'll put my newlines where i like, nyah

Shoo lauri!

lauri: same here.

Can't indent, doesn't like Python => incurable Perl monkey who should be shot.

:)

heh, well, less said about perl the better too :)

lauri: except... i finally succumbed to python after trying to read my own 6 month old perl code and not understanding much of perl at all.

or as perl people would put that entire sentence ""#�%�"#@@@@$$$"
