My english is not good enough to exactly get into the semantic undertones of the last alinea, but it sounds impressive! :-) |

You should upload all your albums in FLAC to the Internet Archive, where possible. That would be awesome. I like that idea.
I finally submitted the AAD I did -- also I resubmitted my friend's AAD, "10:03pm" by Mr Truffle, which apparently I forgot to include a link for before? (Based on an HTML comment in the listing.) If you were waiting for my submission before updating the site, that's really nice of you, and thank you, and you may update it now. If it was just a coincidence, well then, it worked out nicely!

I could probably find a way of opening sound files, assuming they're labeled sufficiently for you to figure out which album/track they're from. I'll try to figure out what other songs I'd be interested in first, so that you won't have to dig through the files for one song at a time. |
| |
Tadbot: Yeah, I usually record them separately, so I could probably hook you up with karaoke versions. The main problem is just finding those files and then opening them, since the older it gets, the less likely it is that I have the application still...
The pokemon jars one is "Permission." |
| |
after listening to the album some more, some of the songs are growing on me, but i'm at work now so detailed comments on it will wait for another time
do you generally record guitar + vocals at the same time, or separately and combine them in postprocessing? i've got alternate lyrics of some of your songs in my head, and was wondering whether it would be possible to get just the guitar parts for some (since i can't play guitar etc.) to record my own remix/parody/whatever versions of them
right now, i'm thinking of "Waiting Game" and that song that has lyrics of "colored to do list and pokemon jars" that I can't remember the name of at the moment |

And since when can you not sample in an AAD? I sampled lots in my second solo one (though mostly samples of myself, and mostly samples that I created that day), and Tom and I also sampled drumming for Phyzical Romance on our second AAD. I defy any such rule, utter bullwonk! |
| |
Yeah, EPP was pretty funny...
Feel free to vote for mine if you think it's the best, but I don't want my friends stuffing the ballot!
What did I sample? Or do you mean ripped off some tunes without realizing it at the time? (Because I can think of at least one or two...) |
| |
Its a good thing you didn't do song fight last week, because you definitely would have gotten whomped by that Emergency Pizza Party. (totally juevenille and sweete song, btw). The field is looking pretty weak this round -- so far you've still got the crucial Neal vote, but its tenuous.
Also, you sampled in this ADD: -1000 points. |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
We have the pasta-noodle variety growing out of the carpet in a basement room that shares a wall with a bathroom. I first thought the cats had dragged a lasagna noodle downstairs and were chewing on it, so threw it in the trash in disgust. A couple of days ago I was talking to my brother on the cell phone in the same room, looked down and there were three more lasagna noodles. It was like deja vu. I had the sudden sick realization that it was mushrooms. I told my brother and we discussed my putting little gnome figurines with them and taking pictures. Still have not done so, and in the meantime my grossed-out husband put a shoebox over them to keep cats and kids away. I know that will just make them grow faster. Sigh...I think we are looking at an expensive ordeal of having the basement floor torn out to see just what's going on under there. It rains a lot here, but the basement is otherwise dry so I suspect plumbing problems. Just what I was hoping to spend money on...Meanwhile I will try salt and Lysol as we already have those handy. |

awesome.! thanks.
i will shoot you a note for sure.
:)
your songs RULE! |
| |
Sure! Maybe you could send a CD my way? e-mail me: tom7 at cs cmu edu and I'll let you know my address. |
| |
would you be willing to allow a regular band use one to intro or outro one of their songs on cd in tribute to sweet 8-bit music. we would be willing ot give you credit in the credits. ? |
| |
Yeah, it's kinda crumb but no worse than lots of other stuff I've posted to the internet! |
| |
Oh, heh, hmmm, that might also be cuz I never really mixed that album (Centipede Medicine Box). The rough mix is pretty shit. Insert excuses here... |
| |
Hmm... we used to have those all on mp3.com before it shut down; I guess that was just me saving that image so it wouldn't get lost. But I ought to upload that album! |
| |
Judging from your ultrasecret opendir mp3 site, you only posted an image from the third Marm & Toc albums: http://mp3.tom7.org/aad-mat3/14990011.jpg
(and I won't bug you on Spastic Moose anymore... ;-) )
Still listening to this new album. I like it so far! |

[ AAD-21: Exile on Atari ST ]
yeah, i'm really liking this one. i think it's comparable or better than BATKOC. seems like its sequenced so that there's an acoustic song and then an electronic song and back, and so on, which is cool. you seem to have developed two distinct styles that are your own and both work, the acoustic and the video-game-ish stuff. vocals seem to have more rhythmic complexity too than the past stuff. i'm envious of your lyrical abilities! good stuff! |
| |
G: There are also three Marm and Toc albums (I'm not sure if I ever posted all of those?) so make that total 26!
TB: Thanks, basically right; the missing paragraph is:
and that's too bad for you
I'll tell ya the techs persevered
gram tested and turbidimetered
but our grant's running thin
and I think they'll begin
to cash our rainchecks |

[ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
Thanks. This will help me make my levels. =) |

The lyrics for "Too Early to Call..." weren't in the lyrics/chords file, so here's my transcription of it (but I couldn't tell what parts of the third verse are):
Despite all of our tests
it's a misnomer
our scientists try their best
but it's well over
we know you wanted to use that phrase
describing the swampy black haze
"too early to call the stagnant liquid
a toxic soup"
and that's too bad for you
I'll tell ya the ??
tested and ???
but our grant's running thin
and I think they'll begin
to cash our rainchecks
"too early to call the stagnant liquid
a toxic soup"

Yes, I was only counting the solo ones. Counting collaborations, you're still ahead of me 23 to 21 due to the TBQ albums, right?
On a whim I decided to create an Album-a-Day message board:
http://elitistsuperstructure.net/aad/
I will post there with my progress when I do an AAD tomorrow.
|
| |
Graue: I'll do the AAD updates tomorrow... one good thing about being the maintainer is that I can get them up as fast as I want. ;) But this was my 21st... unless you don't think the first one counts as solo?
Adhesion: I generated 128kbps MP3s because that's what last.fm requires; it's easy to generate better quality ones so maybe I'll do that for the download page. Maybe I'll just upload FLAC to internet archive, even.
I am glad you guys are digging some songs and I am proud to be awkward in a good way. |
| |
Tom, based on a first listen, I like this better than your last AAD (which I liked a lot). It has its awkward moments, but even those are awkward in a good way. In fact, "awkward in a good way" is something you're pretty good at. My favorites at the moment are tracks 5, 7, 10, and 12.
