lol :p

haha

I'm just concerned that someone is going to come back not liking the edit..dunno how well pointing to that wiki will go over :p

lol they were both wiki links

it

It's pretty obvious, IMO, when you look at the release. The title of the first track should be changed. http://musicbrainz.org/release/15436f95-6df1-47...

it's the accepted way to enter stuff as far as I know... it makes the most sense to me

For "(vocal version feat. Ane Trolle)", the track version should be split from the feat right?

It's the radio edit of the Trentemøller remix. There's no such thing as "Trentemøller remix radio".

(I think)

hm? It never was "Trentemøller remix radio", it had the "edit" at the end to start with.

Right, that's what I mean :) It's not an "edit" of "Trentemøller remix radio". :P

I was deliberately misparsing it. I agree with luks and nikkeee.

:)

Oh you mean, if it was just (edit) at the end, yes then it would make even less sense than it did to begin with :p

The vocal version one I'm not as sure about, though. If there is no vocal version unless Ane Trolle is there, I might leave it as is.

Which I would guess is probably the case.

Well thats when the order of the info comes in. If the original track has her, then the feat would go before the remix info. If she is there just because of the feat, she would go after the remix.

OK, right, as long as the order is correct, I guess it doesn't matter very much whether they are in one set of parens or two separate ones.

http://musicbrainz.org/doc/TrackTitle gives the example "Take Me to Heaven (Hell remix) (feat. Linda B.)"

All the examples there are separated, so I guess it's more clear-cut than I thought: Separate the feat. :)

FauxFaux--.

I now have FLACs and OGGs and should update my CLI scripts. :(

Transcoding == effort.

Bram van Kampen performs as Bram VanK, does that count as a ficticious name?

For sortname purposes, I'd say yes. I'd sort "Bram VanK" under "B". (Not "VanK, Bram".)

But you would mark the artist as a Person though correct?

The performance name

I've been meaning to ask the list about that, actually. There was talk about creating a third category "Project" for artists who are neither a person nor a group. This one definitely looks like a person to me.

I say, if it's one person, it's a person :)

Well, ya, in this case he refers to himself by that name on his bio http://www.bramvank.com/biography.html

I mark all those DJ names as Persons, if they are a performance name for only one person.

What I want to know, though, is: are these Persons: Eric Cartman? Kermit the Frog? Budgie and Basil of Caninus?

Kermit the Frog haha

kermit is obviously a frog

I dunno, you could argue that it's a person ;)

Born: 1955-05-09, Type: Person haha there you go

I'd say, keep it simple and mark all the ones I listed as Persons, rather than creating more categories. If it's one inseparable identity, call it a Person, regardless of whether it's a human or not. Anything else is a Group.

I agree, maybe "Person" should be called "Individual" instead?

That would work for me.

Give it a slightly less humanoid definition.

hmm, ok, seems Deseret casing is still broken in javascript itself, no matter what you do :P

What might "(Client)" in an artist comment refer to?

mornin ruaok !

mikemorr: I've always thought we should split "Group" into "Group" and "Collaboration" - the latter being our workaround artists

drsaunde: "UK artist Kate Holmes (Client)" ring a bell?

navap: There's a band called 'Client'.

ollie is now known as aCiD2

She's Client A.

Ah, so she is

hey voiceinsideyou and nikki (and whoever else is interested), we finally figured out in ##javascript how to address a range of unicode plane 1-16 chars - \uD801\uDC00-\uDC4F

instead of \uD801\uDC00-\uD801\uDC4F ... seems obvious once we figured it out :P

luks are you still about?

navap, ping

pong

http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=10198899 ??

What about it?

That was the edit from last night, the one where you said we had to trust you. So I added a note with "proof".

Do you have a link that lists Frank Frost with the BLU GNC 052 number? I just added BLU NC 052

OIC

I just got the email

You should have got it about 28 hours back..

Unless you mean you're going through them now.

About 16 emails suddenly arrived a couple of hours ago. Just got home now though

A lot of thore are probably mine, sorry :p

I went through a lot of the add release edits of yours a couple of hours ago.

yay i just verified my membership

lol with mb?

member since 2004-06-18

yep

Is this a second verification? Or your first?

first

i just tried what would have been first username and it told me to verify

in mb classic it just asked for a name and stuff

navap. Alexis Korner, Live in Paris was first released in 1980. I just never realised it was a dupe. I'll cancel the edit

Are you sure it was released in 1980? The info I got said it was recorded in 1980, but released in 1988

guess i should do some editing at some point, just been lost in this stupid plugin since i came back

I bought it before he died.

I see, well I'll add it to the existing release then.

I have jotted down a not to dig out the CD and get the info off the cover

So the 1980 was a CD release

?

...unless I can find the artwork here

Vinyl

Did I have it as CD?

No, you hadn't specified.

I keep typing CD. I'm in that frame of mind :-)

btw, you don't need to leave a note when cancelling if its obvious why you cancelled it.

I think there was also a CD release shortly after his death in 1984. I have no info on that though, but ISTR remember a friend showing it off to me

Alexis Korner was one of my musical heroes

For example I stated it was a duplicate already, so you don't need to re state it. http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=10161162 (Less email for the other people involved :p)

OK. I like to spread the love ;-)

http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=10163364 Again, I missed the duplicate (I am getting better and finding them), but this has always been the 'Blues Unlimited' album

'The Best of Alexis Korner and Friends' is really a subtitle

brianfreud: javascript doesn't support the real unicode codepoints beyond the bmp?

whenever is ee "bmp" i think "bitemsrk file"

like for paint

bitmap

nikki: not using standard \uXXXX notation - you have to use the surrogate codepoints

uh

yucky

but noone had a clue how to do ranges using them, took us a while to figure out

If you don't search for the release name manually but browse the artists page, watch out, you will only see anything marked as an Album, Single, EP, or Compiation.

natta!!

nattamo

I don't see what was so hard about it, it's obvious two bytes...

and ranges work on the last one

Munger: Check out http://musicbrainz.org/artist/d6a56832-d11a-4fe... and click "all releases".

yes, as I say, it's obvious... once you've seen how to do it right :P

That's a bogus artist. No such band

if you'd asked me I could have told you :P

\uD801\uDC00-\uD801\uDC4F just seems like it *should* be right, not \uD801\uDC00-\uDC4F

maybe to you :P

to me it reads as the codepoints d801, dc4f and the impossible range dc00 to d801

Ya...I was goint to say \uDC00-\uD801 doesn't make sense to me

But I didn't want to say anything incase I was stuipidly wrong :p

See..like that stupidly*

navap, As far as I know, there were only two albums with 'Alexis Korner and Friends' on the cover. It was because the albums were assembled from various performances and studio sessions with different bands

Would those two happen to be "The Party Album" and the "Blues Unlimited" one?

Yes. They should be filed under 'Alexis Korner' with ARs listing the performers on each track

Check out the track listings here ---- http://alexis-korner.net/party.html

Well, the credits below the listing

That was just a gig with various guest performers

Well, I would get someone else's opinion before moving those albums over to Alexis Korner.

I see what you mean, but all I am saying is that was no such band under that name. If you check out the perfomers on The Party Album, you will see a bunch of different names

err... I mean the Blues Unlimited album

Can't remeber them all, but I know that Robert Plant & Sonny Boy Williamson did a song on there

The album pretty clearly states the artist as "Alexis Komer and Friends".

That's the subtitle. For most of the tracks the band was 'Blues Incorporated'

Oh, I'm looking at http://alexis-korner.net/party.html

Munger: if the cover and spine have 'Alexis Korner and Friends', that what it is credited to. I would prefer it if it stays there.

For the Blues Unlimeted one, there are lots of ways the album name could be written.

As far as I have always known, it was 'Blues Unlimited : The Best of Alexis Korner and Friends'

That seems backwards from the order they are printed on the cover.

No it isn't. REad it again

Munger: ok :)
