time for Doctor WHOOOOOOO

my twitter feed is full of women dressing as Death (Neil Gaiman version). It should be Halloween all the time.

"Should you worry when the skullhead is in front of you Or is it worse because it's always waiting where your eyes don't go?"

where your eyes don't go, a part of you is hovering...

this is too funny http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/johnny-bravo/1996...

(background: Johnny Bravo is also the name of a short-lived alt-rock band from the mid-90s)

also?

a short-lived alt-rock band from the mid-90s

they opened for KISS on part of the Alive/Worldwide Tour

okay, but who else are they? (is he?)

I'm not getting much from that link.

"Slovenian contemporary christian music bend"?

Did you not watch the show Johnny Bravo?

there's a big gap in my tv watching history

it ran in the mid-to-late 90s

I remember my mom hated it

This makes much more sense than if you'd been talking about the Slovenian band. "Come on, you've never heard them? Seriously?"

I know nothing of Slovenian music

I guess the generation gap is getting to us

oh, neither do I. I just found them. http://musicbrainz.org/artist/47277a0b-2811-41f...

so i noticed, when using the lookup feature, that music brainz will take an album with say.. 2 tracks that feature two seperate other artists and create 3 folder directories, for what is actually one album. is there any way at all to fix this?

i will further my reading online, if i fail to figure it out i will return later.

meh, the minute i stop trying to talk to people and focus on work, you know that xchat's going to go blue with people talking to me >_<

... or maybe not :(

that's kinda depressing to think about

https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... "as decided during the summit". yes, let's take private decisions not involving the community.

They're not private discussions, anyone was able to attend and summaries of all topics will be in a public google doc

pankkake: and there are probably more people talking here than typically in development discussions

pankkake: Feel free to raise a discussion somewhere about reverting parts of this. 9 members of the community thinks this is the right path to take. Development decisions has been taken with less people behind it before.

As an example, 0.78% of add relationship edits have been either cancelled or voted down, whereas over 20,000 of the current open edits are add relationship, severely adding to the voting burden.

people who don't edit the database are not part of the community

this includes "add label", "add release"

Add label is probably going to become "add relationship" in the middle term

pankkake: You don't get to say who are and who aren't "part of the community". Sorry.

pankkake: I think that's a really odd definition of "being in the community"

But there's nothing to say that this decision is final - if we find that the quality of the database is severaly adversely affected, there's nothin preventing reverting the change

It's just what seems like the correct decision at this time

As I said, feel free to raise discussion on reverting this or parts of it.

We did expect you to be against the change, and we considered your views when we were making the decision - but there's no way that everyone can be happy all of the time

Ooh, more auto-edits? I can get behind that. Though labels are often enough screwed up that I'm not 100% sure that's a good idea.

labels as rels makes a lot more sense to me
