I can't figure out which one of these is the inevitable full-length album that's going to blow everyone away, help me out here.

If you don't mind me getting all music theory-y on you for a bit, the roman numerals refer to chords built on respective degrees of the scale, so in e minor, i is e minor, VI is C major, etc. (and uppercase=major, lowercase=minor). The picardy third thing refers to the major third when you use I in in a minor key.

And I can't see the lyrics field in my player, mind giving me the hint?

Yeah, I think that's one that I deliberately never uploaded. The recording is particularly muddly-sounding. But now it's been so long that it's just archaeology...

Thanks! You know a song's good when the author adds an (ugh).

Well IUMA is definitely dead to me forever, but I was gonna say, all that stuff is lovingly tucked away on the actual untitled.gif site, but then I looked to check if indeed all that stuff is there in that directory and it's not. I had not uploaded (and just did):

St. Thomas Aquinas
Team Crime (how could I?!)
Child of Pink Thing (ugh)
Onasni
Red Ninja X

A: Thx. I don't understand what people are talking about when they use Roman numerals, but if it sounds like Jean Luc Picard then I'm on the right track!

The lyrics field contains a pronunciation key. Maybe you've been pronouncing dokie wrong?

S: Thanks! This song is sooo different from the jingle feel of Rutgers, so it's good to know I can please with the weird ones too.

Ooo I really like this one. Favorite T7ES since Rutgers!

...and I just found a bunch of them on the actual untitled.gif site (http://untitledgif.org/mp3/). Is that all of them?
 
7901. Adhesion (94.79.163.241) – 07 Dec 2008 06:14:48 T7ES: Gnocci Dokie ]
Oh, and if the proper pronunciation of gnocci is the rhyming one then I have been shaming my ancestors by pronouncing it with an "aw" sound this entire time.

One page from 2005 and none of the download links work. Damnation!

Hooray! Now get http://untitledgif.iuma.com/ back up (or equivalent) and maybe then my rabid music thirst will be slaked.

I just realized I should probably check if that got picked up by the Internet Archive, so I will do that now.

Hey, those opening chords are epic enough for me. I love the (I think I'm hearing this right) picardy third/i -> I thing too.

Also, I can understand that line, but I'm not a guitar player, and I'm having trouble hearing it directly in the song. Does that make me doubly crazy?

Sounds like my theory is taking hold retroactively!!

The EADGBE song I did back in 1992 used an arpeggio in the the rhythm guitar, rather than make it the melody: http://nothings.org/music/nothings/10%20-%20nothing%20stays%20the%20same.mp3
E-B-G-D-G-A-D-G in the main part (slightly different in the harmonics), but even with the sustained arpeggio it's a sequence of chords so it avoids the Em7add11.

Then again I have another "song" which consists of 10 minutes of me jamming on a 12-string guitar with all every other string tuned down a half-step. After you listen to the E-major shape on that over and over, it starts to sound normal...

I thought it was something like Ethan Ate Dad's Guitar...something something, but maybe that was just me.

It may not be epic and awesome, like "Theme from the Goog", but it's still pretty good and pretty good is good enough for me! Also, I like that your singles have cover art now. Even "Theme from rt2i" sort of did.

I will cave to these demands!

Gary: Only the automated spam comments. They show up all the time on this post and others. Real comments I keep and treasure. :)

For the overwrite: I agree, it should prompt you before overwriting data, and even then move the old data to the attic. I added a to-do for this, and sorry for the loss.

Why not add an overwrite window? I made a good level in my computer as mylevels\13, and I forgot the level filename, I made another level as mylevels\13, and it deletes the good level and replaced with a new one. In that case there is a "confirm overwrite" window when replacing the level file with a new one.

Thank you, Tom.

Oh, in order to further cement my fan cred I demand that you post mp3s of Muse or vampires are going to be pissed that we stole their shit and I Get Crunk, they sound pretty shitty on Myspace.

Don't fret guys, it's just ill-formatted web spam. I deleted it as usual.
