astrid yes

the one on our list is Stan Getz + the guy + the girl

Jormangeud^ is now known as Jormangeud

yep. that was the first was recorded (or made famous) in the west

(I've got that one memorized... pretty easy)

it's an easy one "long and tall and, etc) :-D

both of their voices are pretty unmistakable

just picture one those famous brazillian supermodels walking on the beach, and you've got it :)

hehe

well that's what the song is about -- watching a pretty girl walk by.

yup

"ooh" "aah"

well it's great that you're taking teh class

I'm really enjoying it

music history courses are really neat

that's wonderful :)

I've taken the pop music history course, the symphony course, and now this intro to jazz

soon you'l be able to help me and panda out here in MB

ha!

you must not have seen some of my disastrous jazz edits recently?

nope, do you want me to look for them?

no, they're cleared up now thanks to panda (I think, can't remember for sure)

I added several BG 78s

check out the BG&HO page

intro to jazz? where is such thing offered? ^^ music school?

I think they're pretty common (at least in Ontario)

cooperaa: get me a url please :)

I'm at the university of waterloo

cooperaa: thx!

hmm... okay... never seen something like this here

Citizen: http://grebel.uwaterloo.ca/academic/undergrad/m...

cooperaa: the benny goodman looks good. remind me to find you a good list of band members

I've taken/am taking/will take 100, 140, 116, 117, 231, 240, 246, 260, 270, 271, 275, 363

yllona: I had an excellent book on loan from the library

but I took it back before I did anymore work (exam season is quickly approaching and I can't afford to spend my time entering ARs... need to study!)

cooperaa: 246 looks awesome. i just went to a lecture series at AMPAS on the same topic. good stuff

ya I can't wait for that one... I think I have it next winter

cooperaa that's a lot...

Citizen: adds up to a music minor credit

cooperaa: try to squeeze in 261, if possible

ahh...

I think they switch that every year with Symphony so I might be able to take it next year

so much film music is derived from opera and musical theater

but I've had Der Ring des Nibelungen for over a year and haven't made it through yet...

cooperaa: it's a very dense work

in fact, I added it to iTunes on January 20, 2007...

Das Rheingold has several listens...

but I've hardly made a dent in Siegfried or Götterdämmerung

just to toss in a note, Mingus is quite cool in person too :)

yes, a very strange dude.

uh-oh. the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) are in a pissing match about the negotiations to pre-empt a potential strike, when the SAG contract expires on June 30

Films Actors Guild.

FauxFaux: in the UK the union is "equity trade union": http://www.equity.org.uk/

BrianFreudf: and actor's strike is the big ugly. producers like spielberg and others have already cancelled *any* movie production that cannot complete filming by April

yeah, though what happened way back when, when the writer's guild was originally talking about waiting their strike until now, so they and SAG could strike together?

While I can understand SAG's disagreements, I think there's much less sympathy by the public now, having literally just waited through the entire writer's strike

yes, WGA and SAG were well aligned, but then the director's Guild (DGA) successfully negotiated in January, then WGA apprved contract in February -- with everyone expected to start work early march.

then this contention between SAG/AFTRA, it's already march... to err of the safe side, why start filming only to have to stop in June? if a movie can finish filming in April -- great. otherwise it's bust.

it's not just movies either, several TV shows are at risk, simply because they didn't film an entire season before the WGA strike

yup. I think, though, at a certain point, it all becomes more and more moot... Even couch potatoes will stop planning for must see TV night, when it's just reruns

UserError is now known as UserErr0r

i agree.

chefkoch is now known as chefkoch_AW

Whoa... crazy ModBot? http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8420767

But the relase has already been renamed!

any techies around? :)

I have a question–from one techie to another...

aha!

one of my drives just puked, so now I'm paranoid and wondering if it's possible to setup a software raid set with a blank drive (as the spare) and an existing drive/partition as the main

I guess I'm wondering if I can add an existing partition to a raid set without formatting it

ick.

doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

what os?

os-x

define 'puked'

umm I woke up this morning and my tv show drive was unmounted

I looked, and the drive was still connected but it said there was an error and it couldn't repair

now it doesn't see the partition

so a physical drive is not responding?

no the drive appears to be fine now, but it is "blank"

ok, raid is most certainly not the answer here.

well

ugh.

does the SMART status in disk utility tell you anything?

the thing is, my music drive is fine, but I would be pretty upset if it ever croaked

SMART status: Not supported

feh

so I want to setup a mirror of my music drive

just get a backup drive and use timemachine

ruaok: excellent

any last-ditch ideas to restore the partition?

cooperaa: if the drive is firewire you can force the drive to mount, i'm sure what the process is in leopard. that way you can recover the files...

usb

oh, dunno then.

how do you force mount a firewire drive?

are you able to run diagnostics on the drive at all? os x disk utilities

verify fails

I personally would not trust that drive anylonger

Invalid B-tree node size. Volume check failed. Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.

ruaok: you can connect a cable to the drive press cmd-t when rebooting

ah target mode

yep

cooperaa: just a head's up... in the future always try to use firewire for any sort of audio/video

pour quoi?
