CatCat: the same could be said for jefferson airplane/starship

then use the one they're changing into?

It matters not, in my opinion.

Yllona: yes but here they actually *did* change their name :)

but they never actually changed their same...sure i'd agree with a new entry if the new name was Panic at the Slaughterhouse, or Party at the Disco

also, lol

Now grooving to: Metallica ~ Enter Sandman (7:39) (from S&M (disc 2)) (1999)

again, i notice what im playing

drsaunde: i think you hit it right on

hi nikki <3

"Sorry guys, your name change doesn't count on MusicBrainz because you didn't change enough characters."

come on Kerensky97

hei mo

John Mellencamp covers Johnny Cougar's work, John "Cougar" Mellencamp's work and John Mellencamp's work.

noone says they cant have their new name

well it counts for the fact we'll list the new name, but the group really needs to understand the diff between changing a NAME and changing PUNCTUATION

oh this again...

drsaunde: The group doesn't need to understand this.

nikki_ is now known as nikki

pbryan: you make it sound liek differnt people/artistpersonalities

i think they do if they are issueing a press release to announce said information

:)

CatCat: I'm just trying to use precedent within MB as an argument for not keeping P!ATD and PATD separated.

A name is a name, no matter what it is. What about names that are nothing but punctuation?

uh whait, we're agreeing now?

CatCat: we agreed from the start.

ok..

lies

:s

people don't agree in the internets

You said, "uh, they shouldn't" and I responded: "exactly!"

This InterWeb is a strange beast.

also there are no men on rthe interbutt, thewre are only geekergirls pretendign to be old pervy men and old women pretendign t obe geeky 16 yr old boys, and yaoi fangirls

<Dilbert> EXACTLY!

pbryan: oh, i didnt see that

:)

Mark my words, we're going to be people try to change this back, or new entries under the old name after this.

okay here's a punctuation only example: http://musicbrainz.org/artist/2624e8b9-3f77-453... They have also used "Plus Minus" on covers

just like John Mellencamp

Kerensky97: Hopefully the MB data model expands to hold all of the variants of an artist's name.

i dotn care rats about this mellencampy champ

drsaunde: do they make news posts interviews abotu it?

So instead of fixing MusicBrainz we're going to merge and lose the existing info we have.

you mean P!nk?

*on ABBA*

hmm

adba

lol

P!nk, get her name right guys.

Yeah, the punctuation is different!

i dont think thats her name thoguh

CatCat: John Cougar (at the time) had an album called Pink Houses, and I think this was the first big MTV contest where someone won a Pink House

I don't even know how to pronounce that spelling of her name.

besides it's an upside down i

drsaunde: mtv has a contest where peopel win houses?

its Pink not P!nk

Kerensky97: I happen to disagree with the spelling of Pink's name in MB>

It's P!nk in MB.

CatCat: This was 1983 (possibly 1984)

Should be spelled "Pants" lulz

P§nk is liek nin's reverse n, and sillyness like [enter example here]

How about when people argue that musicbrainz should use the unicode IV instead of I V for roman numerals?

Whenever I try to pronounce "P!nk", I get saliva all over my LCD screen.

PBANKink.

Kerensky97: the peopel woh argue that dotn know the styleguidelines

*bang*

sillyfaux

pee-bang-ink

FatCat.

o_O

Catcat: the vote won because of the styleguidelines

.. take that back :(

Artist intent makes me sad. So very sad.

"artist intent"

then they are following the *wrong* styleguidelines

seriously

Those damn artists.

How dare they produce confusing metadata.

"Artist Intent" rules all sometimes, but not with P!atD

PANIC!

there should be no absolute rules are far as these listing artists names together or not... should always be on a case-by-case basis as there are so many different types of corner cases

pbryan: /Exactly/.

"Don't Panic!"

herreguda! NOONE is saying they cant change theri name into panic ant the not bang disco!

drsaunde: ding

but the artist said their intent is to not have an exclamation mark...

yes

so why not change/erge wtf ever that?

(tagging with file-names based on sort order ftw)

PAПIC!

pbryan: That's a P, dufus. :p

they said they *changed* whateve, right? they didtn say "we are making a NEW band now, caleld PATD, WITOUTH the bang"

:)

PI-Nk?

Jefferson Airplane "changed" to Jefferson Starship

Yes.

But its alpha numeric so it doesn't count

yes, and space *merged* into uriah heep

It's substantially different.

wtf ever

MB just cant show these complicated artist dohickies. YET, whien whien whine

CatCat: lol

isntead of arguing, we can just get over it and wait until it does work

(You know, even after all this time spent with you crazy people, I still haven't heard anything by urinal heap)

liek everything else

and make sure we have bug reports so the devs know*

liek labels, AR's languages

I think we should fix MB instead of changing data.

Most editors are horrible Perl programmers.

Jefferson Airplane didn't CHANGE to Jefferson Starship, only 2 members (Kantner and Slick) remained with a whole different band hence the new name, but they wanted to trade (read: sell records because of) on the old name to help the new group

i think i shoudl leave and shower befeor i start beign a trolly wanker

most programmers are horrible perl programmers :P

lol I resemble that.

Sorry, I'll go back to the Rhapsody of Fire example. They didn't change it all.

but seriousyl.. ¬_¬ not liking queen ¬_¬

CatCat: seriously?

well...on that case I would probably support a merge

Bohemian Rhapsody?

merge your godamn rapsody on fire whatever. i dotn care

hey joan!
