Well, what can I say? Song topics are hard to come by when AADing. But it's not a formula that I'm employing on purpose (like the "nintendo" template that makes it on just about every album), I guess it just happens. |

eheheh, fungally infected paper. that one rocks. |

Oh, and to respond to what Tom said much earlier: "Marc, I'd love to not make songs that you hate, but I am still trying to figure you out after all these years."
Well, don't worry, I'm still trying to figure me out, too. But here's what I meant when I said "please no more songs like this one!" It's not that "Math Gel" alone and in itself is such a terrible song, but it's that it's the latest iteration of a certain song that you keep making that gets more and more intolerable each time. The formula is something like: really banal and nondescript-pop melodies, detached singing, and lyrics about some exceptionally and often esoterically nerd topic relating to higher math, science, or computer science theory, or if not directly about those things, then indirectly (like in this case, the lyrics are about a math book but not the content of the book). You've done this I think at least 8 times now, thrown one song on the AAD like this. The first time I heard this formula, it kind of made me chuckle, it was sort of novel, going to the extreme of nerd-ass lyrics packaged in a really lumpy, boring song. But ugh, not something that ever needed to be repeated, and each time it is, I just hate it more and more. So does that make sense? That's what I'm talking about.
All that said, I still love "Shithope" and "Lawn Sky." |

Heh heh, "Fat Dogs" sucks, but does always make me chuckle. "Fungally Infected Paper" does just suck. But jeez, you got flicted ears cuz I'll tell you, "Math Gel," "Your Key," and "Dark Carbs" all suck too, and "Song Ask," okay, not as bad as those, but still nothing I wanna go back and listen to again. |

And so what are the bigger things? |
| |
Well, if I didn't use a "Bearable" playlist, you never know when "Fungally Infected Paper" or "fat dogs" might pop up. That's a risk I don't think I'm willing to take. |

According to my understanding, the president does sign everything that becomes law, unless he vetoes it and it passes in congress by a greater majority. I think the DMCA became law around 2000. But I'm not really a good reference for this kind of thing! |

Hello to all,
I visited your website and noticed the information on the
DMCA - Digital Millennium Copyright Act Law information.
I do have a question to ask and I hope that you have
an asnwer for a simple question.
I woudld lke to know who signed the DMCA bill to become as
law? Was it the president of the U.S.? And at what year
that the DMCA law was signed by who?
Thanks,
Eugene

Yikes, "bearable"?
OMG, "dark carbs"? |

Song Ask and Dark Carbs plus plus. Shithope is pretty good, but I don't see what everyone is getting all worked up about. I even dig Math Gel, Your Key, and Dark Carbs. I guess it says something that this is the first Tom 7 album ever to be added to my "Bearable Tom 7 Songs" playlist in its entirety. |

Hi.
I just want to say that 'Song Ask' is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. |

It seems that SHA-1 is safe for now. The collisions are only for a reduced-round variant. |

It definitely depends on the details of the attack... I guess we'll see soon. |
| |
whoa! this is what fraudsters call a "window of opportunity" |
| |
I kind of like Dark Carbs -- maybe it's the rich baritone voice you adopt, or maybe it's just the subject matter.
In any case, yeah, Shithope. |
| |
Thanks for being on the lookout, cristina. =) Actually, although it's a little bit tasteless to not say anything when all the icons are made out of Tombats, I don't really mind when people do this kind of thing. After all, she can "own" her icons (which are quite nice, incidentally) at the same time that I can "own" my fonts, so why not? |
| |
there's this girl with a website who has used your font and claims she made the icons herself, and not giving credit to you. i thought i would point that out... and i took screen shots too. to see it, go here> http://www.geocities.com/carcasskill/K_I_L_L.html and click underneath "livejournal" heading to "icons" and you'll see. she claims they are copyrighted, but hey- go deal with her. |
| |
Or, more poignantly, Dark Carbs. You didn't even mention that one, probably because you deleted it straight way. |
| |
Thanks Future Boy!
Marc, I'd love to not make songs that you hate, but I am still trying to figure you out after all these years. ;) Anyway, Math Gel is indeed a throwaway, but it's hard to avoid them! I don't think it's nearly as bad as Your Key. |
| |
This album is fabulous. I like the sound of your voice. |
| |
Oh, I misinterpretted what you said to mean that you hadn't been using the pre-amp before. Well, I dunno, maybe you are using it better now, or it's something else, but there's definitely a big difference particularly in how your acoustic guitar sounds on this one.
So, now that I've listened to this album many times, I can share my opinion. Generally, I think it's a pretty so-so one. But at least consistently, so there aren't many moments when I hate the song (only Math Gel [please no more songs like this one!], Old Chair, and Your Key, and actually hate is far too strong for those, they're just crummy and kind of annoying, but still not painfully so, well, except Math Gel actually is). About half of them I think are pretty alright, though not songs that I'd ever be motivated to specifically want to listen to, but they're okay (Fake Mars, Up Ten, Hurt Bolt, Mute Disc, Food Shape, Wall Jump, Song Ask, and Soft Church; those last 2 I actually like a little more than the rest of the list). Then there are my favorites, which are first and definitely #1 Shithope, and then Turk Punch and Lawn Sky. Those, especially Shithope, I actually do look forward to hearing. And the rest just pass by without me really noticing. |
