nikki wonders what we should do with itunes releases
that would actually make sense, I think
apparently sarah mclachlan was known to have a musical saw on some of her previous tracks, and it would account for the odd instrument sound that I didn't recognize :)
nikki
or more specifically, itunes releases of japanese stuff, since a) they transliterate them outside the japanese store, b) they're released in something like 15 countries (usually with the same id), c) the transliterations are often crap, d) the transliterations aren't always consistent
kepstin
hmm, that's kind of annoying
nikki
very
kepstin hasn't seen very many english releases of japanese albums with satisfactory trans{liter}ations
kepstin
most of the ones I have to "Transliteration (Translation)"
nikki
my approach so far has been to pretend they don't exist

kepstin ponders the 'Publisher' relations.
I always wondered what the hell it was
kepstin
now that I've picked up a couple of recent english-language releases; they're on all the albums...
i'd be OK with an update to the relationship wording that clarifies it according to the current usage.
kepstin wonders who came up with the name of the company "4237579 Canada, Inc."
kepstin notes that by that definition, it should be a WorkâLabel relationship in NGS
aww, that's really annoying.
Can't send to the musicbrainz-style list without being subscribed to it
kepstin currently has mailing list messages going to a different account from his main one, but wants to send messages to the list from his main account...

subscribe but turn off emails, I guess
kepstin
can you do that with the list software they're using?
ianmcorvidae
aren't they just using mailman? that's sort of the standard
hackish, but I guess that's what you get for using email in a weird way :P
kepstin
I'm actually doing really weird stuff; all my mailing list messages are going to an account that automatically deletes messages after 30 days
there's online archives if I need to see back further :)
alright, looks like that went through now.

huh. If I keep averaging 2 tracks per day, I'll be done this album by the weekend :)
kepstin still finds it mildly annoying that you can't link to an artist's own site for lyrics when they post them, e.g. http://www.sarahmclachlan.com/us/music/laws-illusion/awakenings
that would mean all the urls would have to be manually checked, rather than having a whitelist, tho :(
