no i agree with you. it's tough for "real artists" all over the world

lets's not mention china

SO, how's about China?

:P

:-D

what I was saying is that let's take Russia before Putin. I can take any artist that I know of and their releases at the time and they sing about three or four different things at best. That's if they are actually good and compare to Visotsky who's compilations cover dozens of different most times unrelated topics

that's all

nechto13: i can match you there, with US artists.... but i'll let it go.

I actually would like to know the names of the artists

especially if they're good

I'm all about learning

i can send you a list, or can create a radio station on last.fm (but the catalog might be limited)

go for it, thanks in advance

well for starters check out the musical activism radio station on last.fm most of that stuff is from the '60s & '70s

and i'll create a playlist for you in itunes, then send you the HTML of the lsit

*list

thanks

np

here's an example... pokes nechto13

legend has it that robert johnson, sold his sold to the devil to sing the blues... like faust

*sold his soul

they say that about so many US artists who are good that I lost track of how many artists' souls devil has

heh, robert john is the myth that all the rest are based on

seriously

I hope the devil's better at keeping tabs on this cause he might be missing a lot of souls

there are a lot of pretenders out there...

what's great about musicians with large variety in song subject matter or musical stlye is that you constantly keep rediscovering them, which I find to be an extremely rewarfing experience. hmm, maybe I should come up with a better example. For instance, tom waits

i know quite a few artists who sing protest music

as a matter of fact I've been to oliver mutukudze's concert when he came through austin that was something else

tuku is fantastc

i wholeheartedly agree

here's another...

they sing in about 10 languages, tho mostly french and englis

yep, I know Zap Mama too. I actually have so much good music now that I have to make time to discover new good music. it's all because of the mp3 blogs

Hi :-) How long does it take that a change on an album appears online? Yesterday evening, I deleted an album without song lengths (that I posted before) and imported it from freedb (I also posted it there), but still the two albums are online: http://musicbrainz.org/album/6bb223a7-c0f0-4f57...

your changes have to be voted on before they are accepted

Hmmm.

You do know that you can edit the track times these days?-)

nechto13: Okay ... and nothing changes if there's no vite for it? It's a quite small band so I don't think that anybody will vote for changes ...

srotta: I tried to edit them but it didn't work

srotta: So I thought it woulkd be easyer to re-import the whole album

Also, the MB should calculate the track times since that album has a disc id.

it's ok if it's small do you have a link to the release I'll vote for it if I can check your changes

nechto13: http://musicbrainz.org/album/6bb223a7-c0f0-4f57...

Also, as teleguise has noted in the mods, since the Add Album is still open, you don't have to remove the album, you can just delete the addition.

no, I mean a link outside of Musicbrainz daatabase

like artist's website or something

*database

nechto13: http://www.three4hundred.de/

nechto13: Under "Music"

klanner-libby just delete the edits (mods) that I mentioned.. and add the disc id to your newly imported release

klaaner-libby that was... ;)

teleGUISE: Erm ... how do I do that?

also if you would please add the other supporting release information like suggested here - http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ReleaseAnnotationStyle

which part? didn't you add the disc-id to the version of the release without track times?

teleGUISE: I tried to upload TRMs with the Windose Tagger program ... perhaps it uploaded the disc ID

teleGUISE: I have typed in the first album manually

klaaner-libby: you should have imported it from freesb.org instead of typing

that way you'd have the times in there

though sometimes typing it in is easier and more accurate then correcting foobared freedb data ;)

nechto13: I also uploaded it to freedb ... but it didn't work for ... 10 times or so, so I typed it in ... later, I could upload it to freedb

freedb takes sometimes a few hours to a day to post your upload to them

Well all two posts are from me ;-)

teleGUISE: I didn't know that

it depends on server traffic

anyhow back to the discid didn't you add the one to the release you originally typed in?

I think it was the windose tagger that uploaded �t.

I didn't say: "Upload the Disc ID"

I just said "Upload the TRM"

But he didn't ...

klaaner-libby: you should delete the three remove album mods like teleGUISE said

nechto13: sorry, but HOW?

that would be nice for modbot

like I mentioned click on those links and then simply click on 'Delete mod'

http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=3816013 ...and... http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=3815979 ...and... http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=3815436

Damn that's quite complicated

I moved the disc id over

Whats complicated?? Clicking the links I just provided for you and then clicking 'Delete' ????

Okay, I have deletem them (I hope so)

hmm, why was the freedb import deleted?

we could have just approved that and klaaner-libby could have deleted all other mods

And while your at it... you now can delete this one to, since I moved the disc id.. In the future you don't have to delete a disc id from an album thats being removed -- http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=3815975

Okay, deleted

I didnt tell you to delete that one ...

yes I did to above ...

but to answer nechto13 's comment about the freedb import..

klaaner-libby you also deleted the good one ;)

damn

I'm kind of confused ... sorry ;-)

Could we simply delete all that stuff and re-import it from freedb?

Kind of a "reboot"? ;-)

is there a way to undo a delete on a mod, I realize it's probably a pretty absurd thing to do, but is that possible?

Could'nt we delete ALL the stuff and redo the album?

Here you go - http://musicbrainz.org/album/9f806560-83c4-47b6...

Okay, that's what we ant to have :-)

teleGUISE: Should I add my annotation there?

look again ;)

teleGUISE: Cool!"

actually if you could fill in the places I left empty.. ie record label and catalog #

teleGUISE: Well, the album hasn't a label and catalogue #

hmm

Is it a CD-R or is it a glass mastered stamped disc

It's a dman cool album, but they sell it teirselves

teleGUISE: it's glass mastered

and they didnt give it any kind of number?

No, it was too expensive or so they said

Like... album01

perhaps, they will add one later

hmmm... nothing in the print on the op of the disc eh

;)

teleGUISE: no ;-)

I mean, shouldn't sortnames be <lastname>, <firstname>

Instead of <lastname> <firstname>

teleGUISE, nechto13: But what about the thwo other album entries? How can they be deleted?

in about 5 minutes they will be

well being the poor server is so loaded give it about 7-8 minutes ;)

teleGUISE: http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/results.html?...

N-bombs ahoy

gupi has a huge load of mods like that

eeewwwww... what a mess!!!

imagine that :P

teleGUISE: Can I also submit the TRMs?

Yeah, I'm totally flabbergasted

Haha, he gave a yes on every of those mods :)

Good ole - http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainzSlang?hi... :P

YEs :D

That omits the part about "voting Yes on mods which aren't correct" though :)

oops.. i thought that was part of the defniition

yes.. I just notice that

hmmm ... just looking gupi has been a member over a year... had he been a nooob I might have help correct his stuff but seeing that ... forget it..

i'm not voting until i see mods with commas in them

actually can we get a yes here for klaaner-libby - http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=3815413 just to finish this off...

klaaner-libby - http://musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid... ... all clean

ding!

teleGUISE: Can I vote "yes" there? I mean, I posted it ...
