i'm with Arthur -- vimeo says the videos are unavailable.

What a clever idea! :)

Excellent project! And finally I know what a laser suspension womb is! :)

This makes me wish I had usb guitar hero stuff for serious.

Really, really cool.

Oops... sorry.
Also I was gonna say you didn't even mention the random band name generator which I found by browsing the code. "Facial Fish" for life!

Sweetness. Nice architectural diagram. I want to hear more about the ambiguity of input/score matching.

Yes, we do. It's actually on the second lowest tier of songs (Tiers are: Always play, only skip for one concert, don't play in consecutive concerts, and never play.) so it doesn't come out often. I'm glad to hear you say you like it because we like it too, it just never seems to go that well live. We're working on it.

My favorite song by you guys is the one called "Muse or vampires are going to be pissed that we stole their shit (rec demo)". Do you play that one live? I mean, you must, right? Since playing things live is the whole point of the band. Anyway, um, yay, music and waffles. Two of the finest things in life.

S/G: Was it called Pots and Pancakes? I also don't really have experience, but I think you'd want a stimulant or something like MDMA to keep the kids up all night. But like I've said in previous posts, I do not support giving drugs to kids.

And no: staying up to 2 is easy! :)

N: Yeah you were fine on the lyrics. Didn't you actually repeat, not rearrange? (It was a good save, "I just want to reiterate that...") I think the worst thing in that song is when I get lost and stop playing for a few chords and we find out that my guitar is 10x louder than yours. How can we make our first song or two more grippy? We need some warm-up song or plan or some shit?

Sorry, yeah, I had to take it down when I was writing my thesis and it kept getting spamminated or infinite-looping and my machine was having all sorts of hardware failures and I just wanted to be able to finish the damn document. I should put it on spacebar.org again and just ulimit it.
 
8444. Nels (gs5048.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 17 Apr 2009 19:21:47 Waffle Shop report ]
Okay, yes. To be honest, I only rearranged the lyrics, which means that unless you really listen to the recording a lot you probably won't notice, but still, I like to get everything right...
 
8443. Scott/Graue (ip70-179-94-234.dc.dc.cox.net) – 17 Apr 2009 17:34:20 Waffle Shop report ]
Nels, I didn't notice, if that's any consolation. In fact I was listening for you guys calling the place "Waffle House" but I guess I missed it.
 
8442. Nels (gs5048.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 17 Apr 2009 16:53:43 Waffle Shop report ]
I can't listen to it because the very first thing that happens is that I mess up my lines... Frown.

Tom, I had this dream where you opened your own little restaurant like Waffle Shop, and an entire section of the menu was devoted to waffles containing pot. Now I have actually never taken an illegal drug in my life so don't get the wrong idea, but maybe there's your answer for how to enhance morning dancing. (I was reading about Amsterdam coffeeshops before bed.)

10:30 won't be easy if you, say, are up till 2 the night before, but then isn't it the staying up till 2 that's rough? If you can stay up way late to enjoy music, why not get up way early? My secret fantasy is to like hold pre-dawn shows with the headliner going on first. It's just stupid enough to work.

I prefer Wikiplia. It's a pity it ran for such a short time only despite that you claimed it would run until it would stress your server or net connection too much, but I too am lazy and tired to maintain the bitrotting public services I'm running.

Also, explicitly yeah, Nels's solos are great and do not deserve to be buried in any W, S, or F.

Thx you both.

A: Huh. We play that one almost every time. I love it but somehow it often doesn't come out well live; I thought this was a particularly good one. I know that I rock too hard. Somehow it's a hard habit to shake, but I'm cognizant and working on it. Obviously in the mix I was way too loud. My new guitar has much hotter outputs than Nels's, like he was turned up to 1.0 and I was at like 0.3 and that was still outrageously me. We're gonna figure this out soon. It does get better for sure after the first couple of songs.

S: Well uhh.... 10:30am on a Sunday is still pretty rough. No? And people feel pretty dumb drinking beer at 10:30am too. Not to say that beer is a necessary part of enjoying Sick Ridiculous (and in fact Waffle Shop has no liquor license) but it does help, sometimes, particularly with the dancing. I think it's going to be a fun experience for us, but I don't want to make anyone feel like they should come, even less so than usual.

I am listening to this recording now, good stuff as usual. The 10:30am show sounds great, I've long thought there should be morning shows. Why's everything gotta be at night?

Excellent as always. The distortion isn't too bad, makes it nice and lo-fi. The only bad part (which you are probably already very aware of) was that those sweet high-up Nels solos were too low at first. Tom, you rock too hard.

Also, I never expected to hear some 12-bar blues in an SR song. Good job.

Also also, Leave No Song Behind was new to me and I love it. Semper lo-fi indeed.

Oh now I remember again. Hint to self: Flash.

I keep forgetting what secret project CT is! It's not Connecticut!

Welcome. I'm thinking about doing an AAD with a friend of mine. so you may see that later. :D

pygame is only good when it is precompiled.

And truly, I'm just a guy that asks the questions that others wouldn't dare to.

What OS do you use?

I compare this game to Jumps(all variations(still cannot solve)).
