      • Freso
        yllona: Well, if he had innumerable stamps in his passport, it obviously couldn't be his!
      • ruaok
        lauri: lets keep that one for exchanging stories over beers.
      • creature
        Yo.
      • Freso
        j0
      • lauri
        i am for my misfortune, dark haired, dark eyed, and olive skinned
      • ruaok
        its not something I want in IRC. :)
      • creature
        Tonight's classical entry will be the following: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cherubini-Requiem-March...
      • It features two pieces on it. How should I title the disc?
      • Muzzz
        lauri: I've been stopped numerous times under the Terrorism act :(
      • Freso
        lauri: And in Sweden of the flaxen haired, fair skinned, blue eyed lasses. :)
      • BrianFreudf
        my fiancee and I always run into trouble at the border - each side is convinced we're trying to smuggle the other in for a quit marriage and instant visa
      • lauri
        i've been held and/or questioned for being estonian (in finland), a gypsy (in estonia), turkish (in sweden)
      • BrianFreudf
        *quick
      • ruaok
        I used to never travel with funky hair... "Stop that guy! He's got a kilo of coke up his ass!"
      • lauri
        (this is all at immigration)
      • petros
        I've always been suspicious of dreadlocks. People can hide anything in them. Covert documents, gunpowder, field mice, candybars
      • yllona
        lauri: yep. it was ugly as tour manager, when he was detained, the band was in limbo also -- the tour manager is responsible for cargo, ie the instruments :-D
      • lauri
        pretty much any variant of iranian/iraqui and once greek, going into the US
      • Muzzz
        lauri, just speak bad Estonian and they'll think you're Finnish! :D
      • creature
        Also, apparently, this disc features four separate performing groups which is also going to be problematic.
      • lauri
        (is greek illegal immigration a big deal there?)
      • ruaok
        then after 9/11 I started to. The reaction is more like: "Look, that guy has a pound of coke up his ass. But he isn't a terrorist, so let him go)
      • candybars...
      • lauri
        heh, see it got worse for me :(
      • Freso
        :/
      • Stupid terrorism act. -s.
      • lauri
        the international espionage story though, i got strip searched by mossad agents, at the Basel Hilton
      • petros
        can't even act well.
      • Muzzz
        I got stopped on m way to work once. got asked to open my bag which was more or less empty
      • the officer was rather embarassed heh
      • yllona
        lauri, ruaok , & petros: i've been nailed for looking vaguely "north african" as had my 58 year old mother -- nevermind that she was undergoing chemotherapy ;)
      • lauri
        I was innocently going to the buffet for lunch, apparently so was the israeli finace minister
      • and well, i look arabic (as well as being greek, estonian, and a gypsy)
      • BrianFreudf wonders why all MusicBrainz IRC people seem to strike law enforcement people as wierd and suspicious :D
      • because we are, HTH
      • BrianFreudf
        lol
      • warp doesn't.
      • yllona
        Muzzz: it's called "racial profiling" here in the US
      • lauri
        i think i just look guilty, honestly
      • petros
        lauri: Ah, that makes all the difference. I would also have detained you from reaching the buffet table before me. What if you too the last egroll?
      • CatCat
        boo hi people
      • Muzzz
        yllona: it must be because I wear a lot of black, have long hair and coloured skin
      • rpedro joined the channel
      • yllona
      • Muzzz
        "He's either a goth or a terrorist!"
      • CatCat
        i dont get this.. :(
      • BrianFreudf
        hi mo
      • Kerensky97
        I got stopped at the airport in SLO for carrying an external hard drive on the plane. The guard didn't understand it could connect to my laptop and play music.
      • CatCat
        hi!
      • lauri
        now that i think about it
      • Freso
        Hi CatCat! :D
      • lauri
        i actually get arrested more often when i don't have wierd hair
      • CatCat
        hejsan gutar!
      • Freso
        Muzzz: Which is worse... ?
      • lauri
        you may be on to something ruaok
      • BrianFreudf
        SFO stopped me post-911 for having 3 packs of matches in my luggage for a 3 week trip, couldn't see why I'd actually need 3 packs
      • CatCat
        uh
      • Muzzz
        Freso: for th record, I'm nietheer, and the're just as bad as each other!
      • Muzzz can't type either
      • lauri
        Muzzz: i'm a goth, just the perkygoth variety
      • Muzzz
        lauri, thought you were a industrial techno moonbeaast with goggles on the head goth?
      • Freso
        BrianFreudf: Well, obviously having *three* (that's _3_!) match boxes is only for those wishing to make bombs.
      • lauri
        no that's what i listen to
      • Muzzz
        Hehe
      • Freso
        Because that's what you use matches to. When you have three packs.
      • ruaok
        lauri: you ever google search for "gothwanker"?
      • lauri
        and daughter owns all the goggles in this house
      • ruaok
        another perkygoth.
      • my former roomie
      • creature
        With a classical release, if the individual movements aren't numbered, should I add numbers for them?
      • lauri
        gosh, did he ever used to post on alt.gothic?
      • BrianFreudf
        lol, I innocently asked what I could do with 3 that I couldn't do with just the 2 they wanted me to have; was told if I asked that again I'd be considered a terrorist and arrested :P
      • ruaok
        possibly. not sure.
      • Muzzz
        ...
      • lauri
        (cos that's where 'perkygoth' came from... i maybe actually know him, or at least crossed paths :)
      • Muzzz
        I did not want to see that. Someone in the flat opposite having sex
      • ruaok
        pictures!
      • Freso pats Muzzz
      • nikki rubs her eyes
      • lauri
        BrianFreudf: i haven't been to the US since 9/11, but do they still have that neat checklist to fill in on the landing card?
      • Muzzz
        the only camera I've got is my phone and that own't do :(
      • lauri
        actually you're american, you wouldn't get it
      • BrianFreudf
        didn't want to see the sex or the person in the opposite flat? lol
      • Muzzz
        either
      • BrianFreudf
        lauri, no clue, I normally drive across these days, too much hassle to fly
      • lauri
        it's something like "are you or have you ever been a prostitute" [yes/no]
      • creature
        BrianFreudf: Any insight you want to share re: my classical release is, as always, much appreciated.
      • CatCat
        BrianFreudf: :o
      • o_O
      • lauri
        "have you ever made a threat to the president of the US" [yes/no]
      • BrianFreudf
        lol
      • lauri
        like, 10-12 questions in that vein
      • nikki
        I remember that!
      • lauri
        i was always sooooooooooooo tempted to check yes on something
      • CatCat
        wtf
      • nikki
        there was one question like "are you planning to partake in any terrorist activities" or something
      • CatCat
        like someoen would say yes if they where
      • lauri
        oh yeah!
      • CatCat rolls
      • Freso
        "Yeah, the other day, me and Georgie, as we call him in the family, has a little outing on our private golf curse. I do believe I came to swear at him once or twice."
      • CatCat
        americans are way naïve
      • Freso
        *had a little
      • BrianFreudf
        creature: I don't know the work; it would depend if it actually has movements. Looks like it's your standard I, II, III, etc mass though
      • petros
        "Have you ever planned to bring pretzels in to the U.S.A?"
      • creature
        BrianFreudf: How do I deal with the sections that run into each other (eg. the Introitus et Kyrie) bit?
      • ruaok
        lolo
      • CatCat
      • :D
      • creature
        Tell you what, I'll just enter this and link you when I'm done.
      • ruaok
        sorry creature, we're just a little off kilter today.
      • Muzzz is always off kilter
      • BrianFreudf
        lol. looking at it, it looks like he just merged those two container sections as a single movement
      • CatCat
      • indeed
      • ruaok
        nothing like an asshole like siren313 to act as a killer team building episode.
      • CatCat
        ja jøss
      • BrianFreudf
        lol
      • creature
        BrianFreudf: Any idea what 'requiem aeternam' means?
      • petros
        Mike Scott would be proud of us.
      • CatCat
        who is that?
      • BrianFreudf
        something like rest in peace forever, I think, not sure though
      • ruaok
        is siren313 actually affiiated with the US Apraxia?
      • BrianFreudf
        he claims to be
      • lauri
        eternal rest or something like?
      • petros
        CatCat: The main character in the U.S. version of "The Office".
      • creature
        So is it part of the piece name or a subtitle?
      • CatCat
        eh dont wath "the office"
      • never saw the point of it.. sorta.. not funny
      • BrianFreudf found it way too much like his old job to actually enjoy it
      • just awkward
      • creature
        "Eternal rest" apparently, so a subtitle.
      • petros
        CatCat: Fine by me. I'm partial to the U.K. version, but the U.S. version isn't half bad.
      • lauri
        oh please take any translation by me with a grain of salt
      • CatCat
        it was on bbc prime i saw it so it musta been the uk verison
      • seemed lame to me :)
      • i know "eternity" or "always" is siempre in latin
      • BrianFreudf
        Requiem aeternum is the title of that section of a standard mass, not a subtitle. The Introitus and Kyrie are two container sections within the entire mass.
      • CatCat
        lol this song is so aprospiate to this fucker
      • Now grooving to: Oingo Boingo ~ Imposter (3:00) (from Only a Lad) (1981)
      • BrianFreudf
        lol
      • CatCat
        go find the lyrics ho yes
      • creature
      • BrianFreudf
      • CatCat
        :D
      • ruaok
        BrianFreudf: did you see the support@ mail re cathedral?
      • BrianFreudf
        somehow I'm hearing the B-52s singing this while I'm reading :D
      • ruaok is hoping to ignore it
      • yeah, haven't replied yet, but I will
      • lauri
        heh, nice one mo
      • ruaok
        thanks!
