heeeey, why don't we have german girls? why do we only have tons of german guys?

should it be Songname (feat. Artist From Group) or Songname (feat. Artist/Group)

how is it printed on the cover?

do you have the disc in hand?

yes, same same on the cover as it is there.

hmmm

as printed it isn't very informative

i would say go with from group

yeah I did that.

but there's not guideline to cover this

this is a good test case

I am not looking forward to importing this: http://www.discogs.com/release/658642

the remix structure is wacky too

i'll take your word for it

need to find a better source then discogs I guess.

no not necessarily

i just don't like the culture in that project

Les Passages Jumeaux - Le 25i�me degr� ~ Le 33i�me degr� is the name of the album.

that's french I guess.

is trm down?

Shepard` is now known as Shepard

hah

you look familiar

Probably because I'm a moderator on last.fm?

no that can't be it

Your father smells of elderberries

i have a stalker

Nah, I just happened to stumble across that thread, and find out it was you

:)

i think that guy is crying himself to sleep each night worrying about this

Eeeh, he needs to get with the times and use Picard, rather than MBTagger

audioscrobbler is all i use. is more than enough for me.

Heh fair do's

i don't even know what he's talking about now

I never know what he's talking about

:)

HEy nechto13

hi

hey muz, how are things?

Not too bad, yourself?

the internet is serious business

alright, i guess. today at work my talkative manager was holding a meeting in the hallway next to my desk so i didn't get as much work done as i was hoping to. she really likes to talk for hours about nothing for some reason

most women do

Haha, was about to say that mself

it's genetic

at our weekly meetings at work everyone is afraid to comment because that could get her started for hours and the meeting is an hour before lunch time

well legally you get a lunch if you work 8 hours. (at least in the US) so think of it as a long break.

hell, chat her up

ask how her cats are. she sounds like a cat person

synkro: she can't be beat. when i talk i'm actually talking on a certain topic i'm incapable of going for hours without saying anything like she is. one time someone asked her a yes or no question and she went on for half an hour about it. besides that's really unfair to the other 20 hungry people in our department :)

it's not the gulag. they'll eat eventually

that meeting she had near my desk went on for 3 hours. at least she reched a decision, which usually doesn't happen. so it wasn't a completely lost cause

progress takes time

steam engine wasn't invented overnight!

oh well, we are actually reaching decisions on these things so it's not as bad as a month ago. maybe in a couple of months she'll be able to do that in a period of an hour

anyways. i actually have a question :) if the cover for my russian album says disc 1 in russian do i put it in russian or in english?

what are your feelings on the matter?

synkro: frustration i guess. you haven't heard it from me, but i don't think she is a good boss. :P she can take in input from others, but she can't or doesn't want to make a decision based on the input. she wants us (developers) to reach a consenus, but if we were capable of that i don't think we'd need her

lol. i'm talking about the question you had.

all women are frustrating and annoying at times.

*people

umm, i have no preference either way. if someone thinks disc in english is better than disc in russian that's what i'll put. i'd leave it in russian for consistancy with the cover

people are ok unless they are customers or in groups.

i would say go with your gut feeling on that situation, nechto13

I personally would say to put it in English

As it's not really part of the titles as such, nor artist intent for the style either, but just a way in which to distinguish it as the first disc

looks like a dilemna

And as it's Russian, it makes sense to add that sort of information in Russian

muz, alright i'll put it in english than. it will be the only word that non-russian speakers will understand on the release. but i think you are right about it not being part of artist intent

some decent tunes come out of the motherland.

Note, that's solely my opinion and I'm taking no blame! :P

that's mustaqila [at last.fm]

Hmmm?

be sure to put that in the tag

just contact info!

Hah

The motherland?

cccr

well the fatherland is germany

fish and chips are a crowd favorite

synkro: there is a great deal of good music that came out of soviet union, but i didn't suppose a lot of people from outside are familiar with it

synkro: i guess classical aficianados would be familiar with soviet classical music, but not popular russian music. out of curiosity are you familiar with popular soviet music?

Hmmm, I've got a small handful of Russian music, as well as music that isn't from Russia, but is in Russian

haha

tatu. eh

muz: i wouldn't consider tatu to be good music and even if i did. that's actually russian pop, not soviet

lots of russian pop

The t.A.T.u. remark was a sort of joke :P

i have some moon far away

caprice is a good ukranian band

former soviets!

if i wanted to name drop, i'd ask my bulgarian friends. =/

synkro: if you are curious about soviet music i could throw some links your way, depending on the genre you like

i like most everything electronic or folk/ethereal

moon far away is neofolk band out of siberia

my friggin fonts are screwing up

http://prikosnovenie.com/inde.shtml good label. i've bought quite a few from them over the years.

but mostly i listen to electro/futurepop/EBM

synkro: electronic music is actually somewhat new invention. there weren't a lot of it during soviet times. but here's a link http://www.zvuki.ru/M/P/15714 to some soviet electronic music, tell me if you need help parsing the page. i don't know if you'll like the music, but it's by one of the more famous soviet electronic orchestras. this type of music was usually featured in soviet comedies of the '60s i guess

haha. no nothing that old is good

good to me, i should say

i'll link you to some

synkro: well soviet union hasn't existed for 15 years now. you can't expect it to be that ahead of the curve, especially since in terms of electronic equipment it was always behind US

haha. russia's come a long way

stuff like this. http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0W7WZNAFK5RF...

besides this is a 1969 release

yes i know

synkro: if you want something current. i can give you some links too. do you like trip-hop?

some is ok. i like hungry lucy

portishead is ok. not great

autohypnosis is a good new band that's kind of trip hop-y

Autohypnosis' sound is a mixture of '80s synthpop (Duran Duran, Depeche Mode), '90s trip-hop (Portishead, Sneaker Pimps), '70s atmospheric rock (Pink Floyd, David Bowie) and electronic-oriented music of the new millennium (Radiohead, Frou Frou, The Postal Service).

finally found them here http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction...

yeah that's not bad

that girl on the cover in the band or just some girl for the cover
