I've experienced that a few times.

in new zealand for instance. :)

good god snow i april should be not. allowed.

lucky it's only about 150 meters to the store

and yeah, sweden is new zealand in another language (and with more snow)

i had no trouble adjusting to living here :)

lol

my firends in london are all griping about the snow too

unreasonable..."

exactly! been running around in t-shirts for a month, i'm not mentally prepared for this

I've got my big ass fuzzy hat on right now.

its cold in here, and that shouldnt happen in april

would that make it... an asshat?

lol

yes a big one

the dog conveniently lay down by my feet, so i have my toes buried in her fur

i find all of me is warm if my toes are :)

ahahaha neko rob :)

that's awesome

we have a friend who makes them.

do you have matching slippers with claws on the toes?

lots of peeps at this party had them.

I wish

if not, i see a business opportunity for your friend there

totally.

I'll mention it to her.

and gloves

Most interesting thing is that the music has a slightly strange date tag in; this one has 2008-03-14 15:04:58.598 :/

humm, i suspect it'll be like indiefeed songs, you end up with dozens getting the same puid, and they differ totally from the puid of just the track without the insert

/Sigh/. :)

dunno though, just try it

I'd rather stab myself in the face than use audacity to remove the advert, sorry. :)

I'll stab you in the face if you want...

Pro!

is this stuff only available there? then it won't matter if the ad is short enough they don't all get the same puid

i guess not, now i look at the site

(/me has a 'phone interview with them in half an hour)

ooh, good luck

CHeers. :) /me can't think of anything mainstrema enough that I have that they'd have too.

äöö'äääääää

oops, sorry, i am dismantling my keyboard :)

Heh. The keyboard on my eee has died. :'(

letting daughter near laptop with a sugar donut, worst idea so far this month

Pwned.

lol

damn. you gave me the munchies

we knew that

yes!

artist search is looking better now.

w still isn't showing, but that might be unrelated

what were the borked cases>

?

faye wong is 99%

but 王菲 is much lower

there sure is

When I used to look up albums on musicbrainz it would have a link that would automatically load the album into picard, but I don't see that on any albums anymore.. did something change or am I doing something wrong?

you're doing it wrong. :-)

It is true, you are doing it wrong.

make sure to browse in a browser session that picard initiated.

if that still doesn't work, add &tport=8000 to the url

Oh jeez... DUH! 2am huh? I guess I need to go to bed.....................................

LIES.

That's my excuse, take it or leave it. :)

Thanks for sticking a finger in my brain and stirring things around...

2am isn't time for bed!

ooh, i found my copy of the worst song ever made

Nice!

What do you consider it? ¬_¬

oh trust me, I doubt you can find a worse one

lauri: "anal cunt is gay" ?

far worse

y'all can have a listen in a second

i dare you :)

(you have to click on the page to hear it)

1969 was a strange time, when stuff like this actually made it to vinyl and then the world

It's not that bad; possibly 'cos it's one of those genres that I can't really hear 'cos I don't care.

It sounds like it was the inspiration for Aqua's greatest hits.

HIYA RUAOK

HIYA KEN

frank zappa liked it, apparently

hmm. I need to remove all duplicate words from a string while maintaining the order of the words.

anyone got anything simple handy?

i got a sed one liner in my 'file of useful things'

alex martelli to the rescure

smart guy. his lectures drone a bit too much for my taste

heh, good cos all i'm getting testing this is 'ambiguous input redirect'

:-)

why are so many label in MB a complete mess?

Because labels are a load of bollocks that no one really cares for!

Muz: caredul or i'll turn your e-mail over to someone who does care :P

*careful

I thought it was because some people like to take simple things and try to make them as complicated as possible

Well, I don't know about you, but myself and what I'd consider the large majority of people who buy/listen to music will buy/listen to whatever regardless of what label they're on

ro be honest, a MB incorrect label assignment has caused me a lot of grief -- once it was imported into last.fm

All I really care about when it comes to metadata about music is the artist, album, and track name. Beyond that, I'm rather apathetic

last.fm actually imports data from mb?

I buy a lot based on label. I own most of the releases on Bluurg, Riot City, Mortarhate,

yeah, at some point recently too.

Some label garantuees you a "certain" quality of releases.

luks: that was for you -- yes an import recently, since labels were implemented

mudcrow, yeah I know people who do that too, but for the majority of people they won't really bother to check the label as it doesn't really necessarily affect the quality of the music itself

mudcrow: i purchase by label too, especially for vintage / re-issues

(This channel is hardly normal if you ask me iether, too many audiophiles and music geeks :P)

Hey, it was this cannel or a channel decicated to the couture of Lagerfeld ;)

Muz: i disagree, the label can greatly affect the quality of the music, esp for re-issues

Rhino is "quality" for me.

That's music geeks and collectors going after reissues which hardly makes up the bulk of music media sales though

Cherry Red pride themselves on doing quality CD re-issues

petros: rhino can be quite good, dpends on the engineer

yllona: I'm talking more about the choice of releases than the actual mastering/engineering.

Muz: back catalog is trumping "new music" by leaps and bounds in sales....

petros: rhino is quite good there as well.

Aren't we what they call "The long tail"?

yllona, yeah of those people buying back catalogue people, how many are people who are actively selecting it based on label, and how many are just buynig it because they like the artist and want to own a copy?

petros: not always the best, but quite good
