reosarevok: I think actually that unless there i an archive of some sort, saving old links is pretty useless :s
2021-09-01 24418, 2021
reosarevok
Well, I don't think we should force people to go check if there's an archive, in the first place
2021-09-01 24439, 2021
CatQuest
(although due to the archive process initiated by (forget the name) less and less links should not actually have a n archived version)
2021-09-01 24403, 2021
CatQuest
ie I mean. moing forawrd all links *are* archived
2021-09-01 24404, 2021
reosarevok
But also, if you're looking at band "The Common Name", and you find an old resource and are like "is this for the same 'The Common Name' band", and both list the same now dead myspace page or whatever, well, that's useful :)
2021-09-01 24428, 2021
CatQuest
well yes that's interesting
2021-09-01 24440, 2021
CatQuest
but use that as an example
2021-09-01 24402, 2021
CatQuest
(what I'm (slightly) worriedabotu is every single link that ever existed being on an artist)
2021-09-01 24411, 2021
CatQuest
even stuff that wasn't really that interesting or usefull
2021-09-01 24415, 2021
reosarevok
I did :) "and even if that doesn't exist it can be useful as a way to know that other page listing the same URL referred to the same artist"
2021-09-01 24435, 2021
CatQuest
yea i didn't get that for mthat. needs a little rewording? or as an example
2021-09-01 24441, 2021
reosarevok
Well, does it *hurt*? :) Most artists don't get that many links
2021-09-01 24454, 2021
reosarevok
Except for super popular ones, which probably don't have the links die that often
2021-09-01 24423, 2021
reosarevok
I agree that, say, keeping a ton of "interview" links, was someone to link them all, might be annoying, but then, those are likely to be archived and of interest to someone :/
2021-09-01 24425, 2021
CatQuest
I mean, yes
2021-09-01 24441, 2021
CatQuest
but also also, if something is archived. why not link to the archive link too?
2021-09-01 24452, 2021
CatQuest
(something i've been wondering about)
2021-09-01 24428, 2021
reosarevok
Well, ideally we'd do that automatically somehow
2021-09-01 24435, 2021
reosarevok
Although I'm not sure what's the best way
2021-09-01 24422, 2021
CatQuest
a second [archive] next to the [info] link?
2021-09-01 24411, 2021
reosarevok
Maybe. Just would be nice to only show that if it exists, but not sure how to make + store that check
2021-09-01 24418, 2021
reosarevok
Maybe bitmap or ROpdebee have ideas

hi, should I make a separate release for music videos (on youtube), or should I just put it as a (video stream) link under the digital release?

reosarevok: I agree with adding a link to IA, it's not a good idea to make it unclickable, maybe it's just temporarily unavailable or at lease it might be available on IA

huh. "Guess case" turns "´s" into "´S" ? that seems... wrong?
2021-09-01 24418, 2021

into " ´S" actually

2021-09-01 24416, 2021

well, unless it´s artistic intent ;)

atj: how does a-tisket determine whether something is an album or an EP?
2021-09-01 24428, 2021

opal: doubting it's artist intent, because it's possessive
2021-09-01 24438, 2021
derwin
it’s
2021-09-01 24440, 2021
opal
what's the release
2021-09-01 24423, 2021
opal
ugh they block tor
2021-09-01 24442, 2021
opal
wonder if wayback machine can help me here
2021-09-01 24446, 2021
opal
yeah that one works
2021-09-01 24448, 2021
derwin
I'm also capitalizing the artist name there. the promo copy uses caps, etc.
2021-09-01 24401, 2021
opal
yeah definitely doesnt seem intended
2021-09-01 24439, 2021
opal
(btw artist intent includes violations of grammar/spelling just for future reference)
2021-09-01 24414, 2021
opal
i have a few releases i need to fix because other people arent familiar with those artists and their intent at all
2021-09-01 24416, 2021
derwin
yeah, unless it's clearly a typo, which, given that I mostly tag digital releases, imo happens more than actual artist intent
2021-09-01 24449, 2021
opal
one release i have no idea what to do with is viper's ... uh, southwest hooligan i think
2021-09-01 24457, 2021
derwin
LOL, viper.
2021-09-01 24407, 2021

original release has entirely different titles than what discogs or maybe some other releases have
2021-09-01 24413, 2021

viper's sick
2021-09-01 24420, 2021

and at least i dont [off] my musical tastes :^)
2021-09-01 24452, 2021

say that to the camera not off the record see what happens
2021-09-01 24408, 2021

I think Viper's music is interesting, for sure
2021-09-01 24404, 2021
derwin
I wonder how many people have actually bought the insane private press CDs he has on bandcamp
2021-09-01 24428, 2021
derwin
there's so many of them, someone would have to be willing to spend a ton of money to collect them complete
2021-09-01 24405, 2021
opal
i hear that if you buy directly from viper he legit just wraps shit in a plastic bag
2021-09-01 24427, 2021
derwin
yeah I thought about buying a "y'all cowards" shirt, but... reconsidered after some of the stories
2021-09-01 24457, 2021

i'd still gladly rep him
2021-09-01 24412, 2021

it's you'll btw

oh right, I realized I needed to type it
2021-09-01 24431, 2021

and then typed the thing he meant lol
2021-09-01 24444, 2021

typo or artistic intent? :D
2021-09-01 24407, 2021

there's a really famous one in the bay area, mac dre "fellin' myself"
2021-09-01 24401, 2021
derwin
the lyrics say "Feelin'" and many sources correct it, but it appears to canonically be called "fellin' myself" based on streaming and cd
2021-09-01 24453, 2021
opal
haha thats great
2021-09-01 24406, 2021

thought he was a lumberjack from that title

atj: does the "isrcs from spotify" site actually work for you?
yyoung[m]: the reason why we make these unclickable (at least for display) is to give users a clear idea that this is not a normal working link, and because it's perfectly possible it points to porn ads or whatever now
2021-09-01 24419, 2021
reosarevok
So it seems fair to try and protect the user from that a bit - if they really want to go check, there's no problem with copying the URL and opening it :)
