PWN!!!! I switched DNS servers and now I can get to here fine. It looks like somehow I didn't get all of Math Gel and Smooth Cask, I redownloaded them and now they work fine.

I don't know why any song needs to be longer than 46 seconds.

I liked "Dark Carbs" too, because it's so different and weird it's funny. Although I can't stop singing "Song Ask" and "Blast Child" (which cries out to be longer) to myself every chance I get. "Turk Punch" and "Hurt Bolt" are great too.
That being said, "Food Shape" has to be the most pointless song I have ever heard.

Both Math Gel and Smooth Cask should sort of fade out. Maybe it's your player? The beginning of Up Ten is intentional.

Are some of the songs supposed to be cut off at the beginning/end?
The end of Math Gel, beginning of Up Ten, and end of Smooth Cask sound abruptly cut. The beginning of Up Ten sounds like a DestroyFX filter, so I'm assuming that's intentional, but the others don't.

Marc, just finding a thesis topic and proposing that thesis.

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
Seattle, Washington

Yikes, "bearable"?

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.
