yes. LP.

like i said we were swapping cassettes back when i was in college/grad school.

that was 1984

that's fine with me.

i was long out of school when NWA turned up.

all I can say is I very well remember Girl's Ain't Nothing but Trouble, which iirc was on the 1st album, around '87 or '88 - didn't have to wait til those other 2 songs for them to be known in my circles in MD

heh. baltimore, great city, great radio back in the day.

but then, we were white guys trading Easy E tapes :P

see, didn't even realize it was spelled with a Z, BrianFreud :)

and yes esasy e, also very "soft" by todays standards

on what grounds do you call him soft?

brick_ijigg: I don't think I ever actually saw anything of his that wasn't a copy of a copy :P

phrasing and syncopation

ah - because he quite definitely wasn't "soft" in terms of lyrical content...

BrianFreud: i might be able to get my hands on some eazy e, i'll know this weekend

*eazy e vinyl, rather

not quite my thing these days; was much more something I was into at the time... 10-14 years old :P

eazy e didn't "spit" as the kids say today :P

BrianFreud: i'm grabbing a bunch of vinyl for several of my white friends who have just discovered the mysteries & wonder of funkadelic :P

lol

and in order to fully comprehend funkadelic you need to see the original album art -- with the comics/graphic novels on the cover

March '08 D3D = Impressive

D3D SDK, that is

Shock G's record "Fear of a Mixed Planet" quite recalls the Funkadelic artwork

(i recommend it)

didn't pedro bell and/or overton lloyd do the artwork for that shock G album

i don't know who drew it

ah, kids today. no *love* for the album art ;)

Could I get a y-bomb on these 2? http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8478465 http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8478473

I thought being an autoeditor meant you didn't need to beg for votes

BrianFreud: done

merci

dholmes: can't autoedit a remove edit

Ah

thanks too aCiD2

np

I hate when tapers don't actually title the tracks, then track differently in the nfo vs the files

Nauti.

quite nauti :)

(10 points if anyone can tell me what Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music is a cover of).

Shepard` is now known as Shepard

FauxFaux: never heard the tune.

Wanna be starting something?

Cover isn't really what I mean anyway, it's got this bit in that's sampled in another song, both probably from some horribly old song.

I mainly want to know what the other one I'm thinking of is, don't care about the original. :p

maybe Soul Makossa?

Wikipedia: The song samples the Michael Jackson 1983 single "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'", which also sampled the Manu Dibango 1972 single "Soul Makossa"

yllona: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsRWpK4pf90 , easiest to hear around 1:39 to 1:42

'sup with that decimal?

the double-sample's at around 2:46

would make sense as she's from barbados and prob'ly heard this song ad infinitum around the house as a kid. it's a carribean staple

+1

danka Faux :)

for the rihanna tune that's michael jackson continually looped in the background, his famous "whoo-hoo" :)

yeah and the bridge from wanna be startibg something

the "mama say mama sa makossa" bit loops in later

yep. that's the bridge

"where's that confounded bridge..."

haha, someone gave 1 star to the led zeppelin box set on the grounds that you can hear a telephone ring in "the ocean".

or better still "take it to the bridge" to quote the godfather of soul :P

before you may cross this bridge, you must answer 2, 2 questions - no, no, 3, three questions!

this album's right up your alley yllona

i like chantay savage

amazon only has import prices, o i'll wait a bit :)

here's one i've been impressed with lately...

still sounds good 15 years later

ok, this could be ugly...

11 tracks, every single one Full Flava and someone - every someone different

yeah, i saw that

and $34.99 full retail. like i said, i'll wait a bit. that's the cost of an opera box set.

yeah, considering it's only £12.99 at .uk, that's a bit dear

ok, yeah, this gets a little silly once it's entered: http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/relationshi...

I'd use (feat. X) and AR to "X performed"

Wouldn't use all those collabs

yes, but they actually are collabs, not feats

I know... but I'd avoid the mess at risk of not exactly the same data

Or, I'm lazy, probably that :P

lol

jeas!

figured I'd check, see if I'd hit 1000 add release edits yet.

Oh yeah I had, lol... 2716 add release edits ago :D

BrianFreud: the wefunk podcasts, you want them...

get them here: http://worldwidefunk1.podomatic.com/

the podcasts are basically mixtapes by various members and/or hangers on the the P-funk crew. excellent stuff, each is about an hour long

interesting

it's really good stuff. takes me bak to the days of "pirate radio" :-D

Beatbots has been my fav site recently - http://av.beatbots.com/2008/02/

Ghosts I track 3 has such sweet bass

Nice tft destroying background on that, BrianFreud. :)

i've heard good buzz about the lo-fi social club, i'll have to take a listen

you didn't set dir=ltr :D

yllona: I don't have that problem yet, I'd have to start it first. =p

FauxFaux: :)

now, re: Ghosts I-IV. He only put Ghosts I up for free download, but the liner states that the entire I-IV is under a cc attrib-nc-share alike license. That means the entire thing can be freely distributed, correct?

Not sure

I guess?

just trying to figure how the by-sa affects it, but that's how I interpret http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/

I wonder how much his experiences with a certain site influenced the decision to set it -sa

night! :)

BrianFreud: NIN dominates Last.fm, Amazon charts - http://www.theninhotline.net/news/index.php#120...

just an FYI, interesting, no?

quite

and another band (who I also very much like) that also does similar "reaching out to the fans as real people" stuff - TMBG - is in their third or fourth week at the top of the kids charts at both

TMBG?

They Might Be Giants

ah, got ya.

They released the followup kids album Here Come the 123's a month ago

man, looking at http://www.last.fm/music/+charts/track/ , Radiohead and NIN just totally swept the charts

one of my favorite opera singers has done the same - barbara hendricks, in terms of downloads: http://www.arteverum.com/preindex.php

esp the free download tracks for Ghosts

and her kids album "Barbara Hndricks Sings Disney" is one of the greats, it's OOP in the US i think

on NIN, aren't there a couple of hugely anticipated pop/rck albums due to be released in April?

not sure... /me checks

Mmm, it appears I'm missing a good chunk of the albummeta table, and this is why I have no releases. ANyone know how to regenerate it directly? Can't find a script..

new B-52's & Counting Crows on 3/25, new Moby & REM on 4/1, new Breeders, Nick Cave, POD on 4/8, new Asia on 4/15, new Blind Melon & Flight Of The Conchords on 4/22, new Madonna, Portishead, Steve Winwood, The Roots 4/29, new Barenaked Ladies (kids album), Def Leppard, 3 Doors Down, Iron Maiden on 5/6, new Alanis Morissette 5/20, new Journey 6/3, new My Morning Jacket 6/10, new Motley Crue 7/8

ah, that's what i thought... that flight of the conchords thing is huge. i'm not sure why. music doesn't groove me

the TV show is considered a "hit" among the hipster set though

never seen the show, but I do like the music

the new madonna will knock NIN off-the-charts however

I doubt it... she'll end up in the top list, no doubt, but I don't think she's got as much cross-market draw as NIN (anymore)

be nice when the Concords album is out though; cooperaa and I've both added bootlegs for them, main problem at the moment is that half the titles are still unofficial

BrianFreud: you can get an episode for $1.99 on itunes (flight of...). great way to check it out on the cheap (and without adverts)

the 6 I most want to hear from that list are the Barenaked Ladies, My Morning Jacket, FotC, The Roots, REM, and Asia
