Disgusting http://musicbrainz.org/edit/31599132

"disgusting" is a but much, don't you think?

don't let nobody take your gusto

it's wrong yes. disgusting? no

+1

CallerNo6: don't forget about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IAR :)

yay! legoktm broke me out of a loop

lego is best ofr that

I am trying to enter some older works of mine when I led R Band, but can't figure out how to declare "R Band" as the artist. From the R Band page I tried to add work

Is "R Band" in the database yet?

since yesterday lol

with its three members

and linked to from multiple pages of my website

If there's an MBID for the band, use it

tried that but only options were as writer or composer etc

not as "band" or "group"

What kind of relationship are you after?

Original performer?

might not be ready yet.... had two story/concept albums in 1994... planned to enter all songs as works then each album as an aggregate work

I am the artist ya

You should add the releases too

well that is the tricky part

Then you can link the resultant recordings to the workd

works*

How is it tricky?

in 1994 printed songbooks handed them out to audiences performed the albums as albums

Oh, so it's not a recorded medium?

but never recorded and released as vinyl or cd or anything like that

I have recordings of ten of the twelve available, but my domain isn't on whitelist yet for free downloads

I do about half the songs still in my shows twenty years later

There's a free download whitelist?

the whitelist for valid links

like wikipedia etc

That's autoselect, not a whitelist

I can't offer an mp3 from my website as THE example of the song

You can link it using "download for free"

unless something is stopping you

not if my site isn't on the whitelist....but getting confused now

There is no download whitelist

We only have whitelists for info databases, lyric sites and score databases

there is something called whitelist that when I tried to add a link to my website said because I wasn't on it it was not allowed

If you're trying to link to a piece of sheet music, that may be what's being blocked

and was told to open a ticket for it

no sheet music nope

Can you show me the ticket?

but reason here tonight is asking how to indicate "R Band" as the "Artist" for a "Work" maybe not possible....

There really isn't

have not opened it yet but hold on I will get the info I was given

what about the aggregate work of the story album (12 songs in specific sequence)??? so I can't list R Band as the band the album is from?

Work artists are normally represented via Recording-Work relationships, but that's not possible in this case

I have fallen through cracks in the system my whole life. happening again lol. I don't fit any existing categories lol

You can link the band or its members as writing the works (that's about it)

You're not alone in that regard

oh so list the band as "writer"? oh yeah could have done that

writer for the album?

If there were individual contributors that took precedence those take precedence

Oy vey, this is tricky

i have a piece of every song, about 98 percent credits composing and lyricising

I don't think albums are normally considered aggregate works

If there's an underlying story that might change things

unless they are concept or story albums. ...

both mine were R College Story and then that story continued for another story album as R Blonde Story both 1994

when songs are meant to be taken in specific sequence I read the docs here about that

I would certainly add concept albums as a super-work

sounds like my story albums quality as aggregate works based on my understanding of doc I read

oh I like that! I'll start making capes and tights for my albums!

then the two super works together (since second one continues same character as first album) would be a super duper work?

somewhere there must be an ur-work

and btw since you are CallerNo6 you win our grand prize of three free kittens

sorry tired and silly

mother cat already delivered them

can't put a price on that, I guess

Kitties! :#

hibiscuskazenek1 and TheBikeGuitarist have the same length of nick

think I'll see if I can list "R Band" as "writer" of the song and still have the separate persons listed as composer, lyricist, etc. Good idea? Bad idea?

I should be The Bicycling Guitarist but was truncated.

Mine got messed up after I had to change wireless access points

(for some reason one is refusing to connect to certain sites)

It looks cool to have it fill so much of the screen

did I share my Kitty song with y'all here? two minutes rockin' fun sing along to the meow meow parts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_daC01lr5Y

I think you did

oops sorry I see kitties on the screen and go nuts

think it happens to a lot of people based on what's on the internet

The Internet does love cats

do ya think that would be the better song for me to go on America's got talent with (shortened to 90 seconds?) or an instrumental?

got an upbeat instrumental called Traveling would be my top other choice, but the kitty song is so fun might they like it more?

I'd sing it too

They'd probably ask you to sing if you played an instrumental

but I am not The Bicycling Singer :(

I will ask the producer who is assisting me what she thinks I should go with, and probably take her advice

I would think you'd want to choose a song that really lets your personality come through.

kitty it is then, or traveling.... those are my two faves for 90 second impress the folks songs

have fun folks guess I'll enter more stuff later peace out

heyho, i have some questions about relating rateyourmusic to musicbrainz. i just stumbled upon an edit where a mb-release has been related to rym-album. i think this should be related to mb-release-groups instead. while looking at the rym page i noticed that they have entities called issues which would be better suited to mb-releases

https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/cbffb669-... -> http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/queens_o...

Yeah, RGs sound better in general
