ocharles: yeah, definitely credit both :D

ah, still artist-recording

ocharles: ?

reosarevok: tis good

Yeah

I just randomly found it in my SoundCloud dashboard

That was unexpected

I really want to see it live, but no one will come to london with me :(

your friends are lame?

Aww

I'd come to london with you

Pay my ticket and I will go see it with you! :p

(my *plane* ticket, that is)

hehe

:P

but seriously

fantastic new album, and the album tour has ONE gig in the uk

wtf ninja tune.

when I edit an existing one, the credited as field is grey and I can't just edit what's there

ocharles: everybody knows British people have no taste in music

but if I look up the artist again (without changing anything), it goes black and I can edit it

Oh, wait, you said UK, not Spain

Then it makes no sense

:p

about work parts relationship (or whatever it's gonne be called): when there will be a guideline about it, will it allow 3+ level linking?

hawke_: added. please check it's all ok :)

for example, [Carl Orff's] "Carmina Burana" has parts "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi", "I. Primo vere", etc., and then "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" has parts "1. O Fortuna" and "2. Fortune plango vulnera"

nikki: Looks good to me.

v6lur: I see no reason that nested relationships wouldn’t be allowed.

good

v6lur: Though personally I’d prefer to have the individual parts fully named.

i'd like the nested parts also be visible at tha first level :P

v6lur: I would as well, but I think until that happens the parts should have full names

heh, i didn't think "everything, and now!" :P

Possibly also “until Picard can handle naming based on nested works” :-)

But that might be a rather tall order

my goodness, beets is stiiiill cranking away at this directory..

nikki: The date attribute is mandatory on all relations, right?

as an “in case we think of something to do with it” thing?

yes

is there any way to bulk import into MB without going through the submission interface? the idea of doing the 300 or so ports from discogs that I have to do by hand does not fill me with joy.. :/

(and I'm pretty capable of doing transforms..)

no

I figured, but can't hurt to ask.

but you can seed the release editor with all the info you have from discogs

I think there is an userscript for easier discogs importing

yeah, I'm using the greasemonkey script

it's just the workflow sucks

a) get discogs url b) go to page c) click thing d) hope you were logged into mb e) click again f) click around mb submissions

when in 99/100 cases, I know any info that needs to be mapped

ahead of time

man, all this artist countries work has caused me to look up a lot of random countries I wouldn't have otherwise :P

oh?

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/... for example

ah

I looked up estonia at some point too, I think that also stemmed from artist country stuff plus reosarevok living there :P

(looking up Suriname, however, was because I found a nice laminated map of south america, which of course I put up in my room :P)

(and suriname has contested boundaries with two of its neighbors)

maps :D

yup :D

now, of course, I want a .ax domain name

because it would be cool :P

ianmcorvidae: I imagine ho.ax is taken?

however, I'm not likely to get one

not sure

the restrictions on .ax are pretty steep and the population is pretty small

looks like ho.ax is available

Is .ax for Aland?

yeah, it is

They're Scandinavians

Do what Estonians do

Buy them witch cheap booze

lol

we'll have to find someone who lives there to give said cheap booze to :P

artist country stuff should get released today, incidentally

:)

so now other people can _also_ learn about weird countries from it :P

we do

that's how I got to it XD

it's one of the band members in Sonata Arctica

Is there any country with zero artists?

which is either a swedish or a finnish metal band

there are many

AFAIK

(also, kinda boring)

we have 253 countries and last I checked there were only 110 countries with artists in them

Aww

That needs fixin'

clearly

some of them are pretty obscure though

Like what?

of course, we have one from Aland, so XD;

Don't trust us to find an artist from St. Kitts and Nevis?

haha

how about British Indian Ocean Territory

That's totally not a country

country code IO

it's right in there

If that's in, I want my Archbishopric of Salzburg

Fascists!

don't trust the ones from Antarctica thoguh

what about good old antarctica!

heh

yeah, true

Come on, I'm sure some scientist works in Antarctica and makes music there

We can stretch it a bit

maybe they have some penguin choirs

haha

(if we go with country born, that might be harder)

we don't have any rules for artist country yet, I don't think, so :P

there's also stuff like Wallis and Futuna

of course, wikipedia has a page on "Music of Wallis and Futuna" so maybe not :P

ARTIST country?

why?

it would freak and or scandalize them

"Get drunk and send me a song, I'll publish a bandcamp compilation with all of them and we can get an artist from each country in MB"

you'd be better at goinfg ther yourself and recording their own music rather thna giving them guitar

alan lomax

CatCat: I'm not that rich :(

(I couldn't even afford the guitar thingy)

lol

of course, the country "Saint Vincent and the Grenadines" sounds like it should be a band name rather than a country name :P

hm, wonder how we'd get one from VA (the vatican :P)

sample the pope speaking?

the booze and guitar thing would be hard ;)

ianmcorvidae: I am completely sure we have or can have audiobooks from the pope

So it depends again on "born there" vs "identifies with there"
