Hi! I could use some feedback on this edit. I wasn’t sure what the right thing to do was. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/84982566

hi

I'm not sure what is correct to do in this case, but the track is known as "#1 Crush" in all other contexts : https://musicbrainz.org/recording/f6815e32-a1f0...

I know, but this bootleg take some liberties with the standard spelling. For example, “I Think I’m Crystalized” is just “Think I’m Crystalized” here.

that was hard

(to find out why appservice was automatically kicking me out of the channel)

(it seems I needed to register my nick in libera.chat and to identify myself against NicjServ before I was able to join here)

s/NicjServ/NickServ/

yeah, it's a registered channel

i'm new to irc, i didn't know the difference

but well, i made it

🎉

Huh. This list of genres from last.fm has "metro downtempo"

Never heard. atj, derwin: you?

It's listed under "electronic", but..

no, sounds like bollocks to me

Ok

reosarevok: regarding aliases, the English version should be primary, right?

For what :)

artist name

It depends :) The primary versions should be primary, mostly

Is this correct? https://musicbrainz.org/artist/5aabf0fe-54d2-47...

If they have an English version and a non-English name, make the English version the primary English alias, I guess

Lemme see

I'm not sure whether it's a legal name, but it seems ok to have it as an English alias, possibly primary too

The artist lists their name as the English version here: https://thorf.bandcamp.com, but is credited with the Icelandic version here: https://moatun7.bandcamp.com/album/moa046

Then their Soundcloud has the shortened Icelandic version: https://soundcloud.com/thorf

I'm 99% sure it's a legal name

I mean, I'd expect my registered name in the US to be my full name, but I dunno how it works, maybe they make you drop the patronimic

Anyway, not a big issue

Isn't a bit like Chinese names in Western countries?

Icelandic contains some non-ASCII characters

Sure, but I'm expecting then it'd be Gudmundur Thor Fridleifsson, not just Gudmundur Thor :)

Those are actually both first names, I think?

Not that Fridleifsson is *really* a surname, but :)

wait they can't do that? so many other scandinavian names are based on patronymic names (evne if they don't functino like it anymore)

I thought maybe they had a different name order structure

I mean, I dunno how it works really, maybe they'd only register my first surname, while I consider my legal name to have two :)

So it might be different

well, here in the UK we have middle names, but most people ignore them completely

I know in the us apparently, the first of two last names is considered a "middle name" (wich ot me is weird)

unless hypen

hyphenation is normally due to combining the maiden and married name

very may people here have two last nmes

not here

usually two people will get to gether and adopt two names or atleast the kids will take each prent's name

parent's*

also it's mainly "upper class" people that do it, or people who want to be perceived as such (hyphenation that is)

Yeah. We don't generally *use* our second surname much

But it's still part of the legal name, just not the one we usually use :)

i mean in the us that unless the names are hypenated the first last name is considered a middle name (wich is weird for me because a middle name is always a "firstname" type name, so not things liek "smith, "robinson" or "ling")

CatQuest: I think it's a second first name, not a last name :)

In Spain you can have many first names - my mom had 4

*3

:D

Fair play, sounds fun!

Because her parents wanted to give her a Basque name, and the registrants were like "only if you get two real Spanish names too" apparently

lolwut

(those were weird dictator-y times so)

my mom had two firstnames, but hypenated os it was kidna one name

atj: yeah - not that I lived the period, but it seemed to be quite dumb in many ways :)

:/

(well hope, really, that it'll be better even then)

they'll know how. our ancestors did

oh uh, should i [off] this

*some* good news atleast: https://www.yr.no/sted/Norge/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo/met... seems there will be snow and actually it'll stay for a bit

it hasn't been liek this for a few years now.

we have a dusting of snow, 0.3C outside ATM

all the kids deserve soem real snkow this year. it's been mean the last 3

oh! atj, canada?

no wait oy usaid uk

UK

where? north?

South east-ish

hmh. it must be the wind, a cold wave is in norther europe apparently

Maybe south east midlands

it's - 5 degrees in them orning now

last year it was in the 10's this time of year. and raining ridicolusly

Just in time for the new CoV variant

We went for a nice walk in the morning, snow everywhere, roe deer tracks, etc

Fun

Sounds lovely

I do like proper snow

reosarevok: aaaww

wait.

:o

Not right now, but it keeps snowing, so

tracks belong in inat apparently?

:O

They do

that weather is comming here tomorrow apparently

But I already have photos of the local roe deer in any case :)

maybe ill be able to take pictues of crow tracks :o

:|

i'm imagiing some deer eating fisheggs

haha

I'm confused now

or covered in it somehow. idk

CatQuest: rådyr apparently?

oohhh

rådyr

atj: we both use iNaturalist so that's the inat thing CatQuest mentioned :)

oh gods it's etymologically related "rådyr" pretty much will sound like "roedeer"

"English roe is from Old English rā or rāha, from Proto-Germanic *raihô, cognate with Old Norse rá, Old Saxon rēho, Middle Dutch and Dutch ree, Old High German rēh, rēho, rēia, German Reh"

So, yeah

well, "row" "dur"

reh

:D

sorry, I somehow missed the roe being deer and fish eggs thing :)

oh oh

It's Monday OK?

hey no prob

I was figuring something with the fisheggs tripped otu yp
