        but as you say it i remember they used to in the earlier days
      • 2005-12-06 34042, 2005

      • yllona
        yep, still do in some instances
      • 2005-12-06 34025, 2005

      • Shepard
        and they differ from the listing on the cover being more correct?
      • 2005-12-06 34030, 2005

      • yllona
        here's an example of incorrect cover art: http://tinyurl.com/bk4pp this is her first solo album (also a big hit/masterpiece) and her name has been misspelled consistently ever since... 1969

      • yllona
        her name is "riperton" not "ripperton"
      • 2005-12-06 34033, 2005

      • yllona
        and then there's the "charley pride"/charlie pride situation, and you'd think the record companies would finally get it right, as he's sold damn near 20 million records :)

        I'm here, working a bit on tunepimp. I have a prefix installation of libmusicbrainz, so I'd like to add support for this in tunepimp's configure.in

        can't you just set your CPPFLAGS
      • 2005-12-06 34016, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        and LDFLAGS

        a good idea for a name of a wiki page collecting albums that are duplicated in different scripts / because of unicode issues? (like the Pi case)
      • 2005-12-06 34005, 2005

      • yllona
        Shepard: yes

        hi tele the WISE
      • 2005-12-06 34031, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        hey there all...
      • 2005-12-06 34046, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        yllona: I was skimming the logs and saw you mention Minnie Riperton.. not that am g holds any weight but they say Gems from 1961 and lead vocalist of Rotary Connection 1968..
      • 2005-12-06 34044, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        shepard: so you went to the summit? and met all the asshats ;)?

        Shepard: there are tons of asian ones...
      • 2005-12-06 34041, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        that had to be pretty neat... who was all there
      • 2005-12-06 34043, 2005

      • luks
        hmm, misencoded polish nazi music - http://musicbrainz.org/album/06142c12-470d-410d-8…
      • 2005-12-06 34044, 2005

      • Shepard
        yllona: i was asking for a good name for such a page.. i guess you misunderstood that as "is this a good idea" ;)
      • 2005-12-06 34045, 2005

      • luks is not sure if he is interested in fixing nazi music...
      • 2005-12-06 34051, 2005

      • yllona
        teleGUISE: yes, she was a "staff female vocalist" (and receptionist) at chess records. so the gems dissolved sometime in 1966/1967, and the rotary connection had 1st release in 1967/1968. also too released some solo 45's under the name "andrea davis". but i will go back and check my mods
      • 2005-12-06 34013, 2005

      • nikki`
        I'll fix it then
      • 2005-12-06 34023, 2005

      • luks
        i can do it, but ...
      • 2005-12-06 34031, 2005

      • yllona
        Shepard: sure did!!!
      • 2005-12-06 34036, 2005

      • luks
        i hate it
      • 2005-12-06 34039, 2005

      • nikki`
        I can do it too :P
      • 2005-12-06 34003, 2005

      • nikki` is used to finding badly encoded polish and lithuanian and turkish, and doesn't care about the contents
      • 2005-12-06 34007, 2005

      • Shepard
        nikki: tons of albums we virtually duplicated although they were never released in the script?
      • 2005-12-06 34012, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        yllona: ok.. i voted yes.. and then was going to add some album release info and saw that on the biography page so I thought I'd ask... they many times differ a year or so.. so wasnt sure who was right
      • 2005-12-06 34032, 2005

      • nikki`
        Shepard: yes, loads of japanese transliterations
      • 2005-12-06 34042, 2005

      • yllona
        luks: yeah, and then there's that neo-nazi girl group that's getting so much media attention here in the US.
      • 2005-12-06 34046, 2005

      • Shepard
        will be a fun then collecting them :)
      • 2005-12-06 34055, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        there's a neo-nazi girl group getting attention?
      • 2005-12-06 34007, 2005

      • nikki`
        I heard of them
      • 2005-12-06 34012, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        what are they called?
      • 2005-12-06 34033, 2005

      • nikki`
        if it's those twins or sisters or whatrever who were brainwashed by their parents from california IIRC.
      • 2005-12-06 34045, 2005

      • yllona
        ojnkpjg: let me look, i'm trying to ignore it.. kinda makes me crazy
      • 2005-12-06 34006, 2005

      • Shepard
        i always thought the idea is that the fact that neo nazis are too stupid to enter them correctly protects us from having too much of it
      • 2005-12-06 34018, 2005

      • nikki`
        Shepard: almost all of http://musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid=1… is both japanese scripts and transliterated
      • 2005-12-06 34018, 2005

      • Shepard
        teleGUISE: rob, the don, g0llum, fuchs, masi and myself
      • 2005-12-06 34030, 2005

      • yllona
        nikki... yes, them but they're not in Cali AFAIK (thankfully), but perhaps Sacramento, CA (the state capital) hah!
      • 2005-12-06 34034, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        i don't watch tv or listen to the radio, so i miss out on the important stuff
      • 2005-12-06 34039, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        like this
      • 2005-12-06 34004, 2005

      • yllona
        ojnkpjg: will find them, when i come back
      • 2005-12-06 34005, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        Shepard: don't recal a masi... so was that the first time for you meeting all?
      • 2005-12-06 34009, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        ok
      • 2005-12-06 34010, 2005

      • nikki`
        er...
      • 2005-12-06 34027, 2005

      • nikki`
        so if they're from sacramento, aren't they from california?
      • 2005-12-06 34052, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        people draw a north south border... kind of like Korea
      • 2005-12-06 34056, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        ;)
      • 2005-12-06 34016, 2005

      • yllona
        nikki, yes i meant.... neo nazi's in Cali (most likely sacramento)
      • 2005-12-06 34016, 2005

      • Shepard
        masi is here sometimes. for me yes, g0llum and rob met before as you know and don and rob too
      • 2005-12-06 34032, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
      • 2005-12-06 34034, 2005

      • nikki`
        that's different, they're recognised as separate places
      • 2005-12-06 34054, 2005

      • nikki`
        that's the one I rememebr
      • 2005-12-06 34020, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        They need to have the background to understand why certain things are happening," said April, a stay-at-home mom who no longer lives with the twins' father. "
      • 2005-12-06 34032, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        in most places, that fits the description of 'unemployed'
      • 2005-12-06 34052, 2005

      • motoboi
        Well, actually not ojnkpjg. =\
      • 2005-12-06 34056, 2005

      • nikki`
        I like the way they 'want to stay white'
      • 2005-12-06 34003, 2005

      • teleGUISE
        Shepard: so it sounded like it was a pretty good meet.
      • 2005-12-06 34011, 2005

      • nikki`
        as if their skin colour will change if they don't do something drastic
      • 2005-12-06 34034, 2005

      • Shepard
        teleGUISE: yes it was!
      • 2005-12-06 34008, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        But even before that, April had decided that Bakersfield was not "white" enough, so she sold her home, and hopes that she and the girls can find an all-white community in the Pacific Northwest.
      • 2005-12-06 34015, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        yeah, good luck with that
      • 2005-12-06 34018, 2005

      • koogah2005
        how should i tag a remix compilation?
      • 2005-12-06 34033, 2005

      • koogah2005
        the mix artist is the same for all tracks
      • 2005-12-06 34050, 2005

      • koogah2005
        do i tag it as one artist or various?
      • 2005-12-06 34013, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        if they're remixes, the artist is the original performer
      • 2005-12-06 34017, 2005

      • koogah2005
        ok
      • 2005-12-06 34031, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        re: comp vs. remix, i'd choose whichever is less obvious
      • 2005-12-06 34034, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        since it can't be both right now
      • 2005-12-06 34039, 2005

      • koogah2005
        how about the individual tracks?
      • 2005-12-06 34044, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        probably compilation in this case
      • 2005-12-06 34046, 2005

      • koogah2005
        should they includ (feat.) ?
      • 2005-12-06 34005, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        (X remix)
      • 2005-12-06 34006, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        maybe
      • 2005-12-06 34012, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        if that's what they are
      • 2005-12-06 34034, 2005

      • koogah2005
        im thinking of the original artists that have been remixed
      • 2005-12-06 34040, 2005

      • koogah2005
        they do partake in the song
      • 2005-12-06 34053, 2005

      • koogah2005
        since they were singing it before they were mixed :)
      • 2005-12-06 34037, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        the original artist is the track artist
      • 2005-12-06 34040, 2005

      • ojnkpjg
        so you don't need feat.

        yllona: I added release data for most of the Minnie Riperton releases in the db... maybe when you have time you can finish/verify the remaining few.. hope i helped

        some moron just called me and starting insulting me when I told them they've got the wrong number.
      • 2005-12-06 34018, 2005

        wtf
      • 2005-12-06 34028, 2005

      • nikki`
        they seemed to be asking for someone called annette
      • 2005-12-06 34015, 2005

      • nikki`

      • 2005-12-06 34019, 2005

      • nikki`
        I wouldn't particularly care if it were the wrong number, it's when it is and they stream off a load of fucks with occasional words inbetween that it annoys me.
      • 2005-12-06 34042, 2005

      • chocomo
        hello. they called *you*
      • 2005-12-06 34044, 2005

      • nikki`
        it's not *my* fault they're too stupid to dial the right number!
      • 2005-12-06 34002, 2005

      • PRAEst76

      • 2005-12-06 34007, 2005

        I'd report them.
      • 2005-12-06 34017, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        they called you and were abusive.

        coppers
      • 2005-12-06 34058, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        Yeah, and the police I guess.
      • 2005-12-06 34013, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        Though TBH BT might just ask if you want to change your number.
      • 2005-12-06 34051, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        I hate phone calls so much that I have a caller display phone and reject withheld numbers automatically.
      • 2005-12-06 34013, 2005

      • nikki`
        I should do that, but that probably costs more
      • 2005-12-06 34030, 2005

      • nikki`
        the only people who even know my phone number are my mum, my nan and my isp.
      • 2005-12-06 34041, 2005

      • nikki`
        I just pretend I don't have one otherwise
      • 2005-12-06 34042, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        It does. BT takes bloody liberties that way
      • 2005-12-06 34000, 2005

      • nikki`
        because I might as well not do, I can't understand people very well on the phone.
      • 2005-12-06 34001, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        Most of my bill is charges for services.
      • 2005-12-06 34052, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        I think it's about £2 for caller display and about £4 to block withheld dumbers. Both services that they should include in their standar line-rental
      • 2005-12-06 34033, 2005

      • PRAEst76
        They give customers the option to harrass people so they can make more money, the least they can do is give their other paying customers the option to opt out of that without charging them extra.
      • 2005-12-06 34033, 2005

        I get more sms spam than actual text messages, but it normally tells me who's calling.

        PRAEst76: when in lived in Virginia, there was some lovesick drunk that called at least twice a week. He was very polite, though. He always asked "may I please speak to LInda?" or "can you tell linda that i love her?" this happened for *years*

        and they leave useless messages like 'this is *mumble* can you please ring back on *mumble* between the hours of *mumble* and *mumble*?"

        I just got the nasty drunks that swore or slammed the phone down when they realised it was a wrong number. I hate that. If I dial a wrong number I at least apologise.
