I think they are all posted by the same person, since at one point he posts as "owner," and, well, he's not the owner.
Anyway, I don't know any way to get the address of the originating computer rather than the proxy it goes through, so I'm not sure what's so lame about that... |
| |
actually - these address' only seem to be the address of the proxy you use - which is lame - may have been different people after all (tho i doubt it) |
| |
what i think is funniest is how the top 10 or so posts with people arguing against each other all came from the same person (judging by the ip address') |

For my part, I like Jill Hives, Replace You With Machines, and Mix Up The Satellites. I know what you're talking about with regard to not realizing the album was over. This is probably because I accidentally sequenced it "Crooked Rain" style, and I couldn't change that because it had to have the same track order as the GBV one. |

Actually, sorry, I just remembered one other thing that I notice: My Son, My Secretary, My Country. Although the funny thing is that I always thought it was the second half of the first song. I used to always think, "gosh, the second half of this song is much better than the first half." It turns out that I accidentally had 4-second cross-fade enabled on my MP3 player (well, not so much "accidentally" as the latest version of iTunes appears to have a bug where enabling cross-fade but setting the time to 0 seconds will actually result in 4 seconds of cross-fade). Now that I listened to it this last time without cross-fade, I actually don't like the second song much anymore. It's funny, it sounded better when it sounded like the second half of the first song (which is a crummy song, so maybe it was just the contrast that was good). |

I've listened to this many times now. So, it's supposed to be totally without filler... I dunno, maybe it's doesn't have filler, but it doesn't any winners, either. In fact, there's something sort of remarkable about this album (in an unremarkable way), which is that I've managed to listen to it 15 times now, yet every single time I play it, next thing I notice is that it has finished. Somehow the whole thing goes by and I don't even really notice it. I can't think of any other album that I've heard that's like that. Although I have found myself singing The Best Of Jill Hives occasionally, so I think that that one has stuck to me a little. And this last time listening, I did notice that, yes, A Trophy Mule In Particular does really suck. But other than that, it's pretty much like listening to moths sleep... |

Yeah, it's good, and I hear that Cheney and Bush are resigning next week, too... |

I have read the board in its entierty. Wow, this is some funny shit. I am in no way affected by the robots and have no affinity for said bunnies or clowns. Though I did find the masterbating frog a bit encroaching. Nonetheless, I plan to visit Japan one day and when I do I hope to meet real live killer Japanese seizure robots. For that would be the paramount of coolness. And upon meeting them I would spout "all of your bass are belong to us". Then I would board one of the robots taking control of its weaponry and devastate the city that is Japan! |

My arm is usually under the pillow and so I never hear the alarm go off in the morning. Plus, my Limited Edition Sakura Taisen: Atsuki Chishio Ni came with a heart-shaped pink alarm clock, and I'm not one to leave something like that in the box and let it go to waste. |

I listened to a "full album teaser" somewhere, I think at lizphair.com. That's good enough, you probably don't want to listen to the entirety of every song, but it is strangely worthwhile to listen to the short clips. |
| |
Yeah, it was me you talked to (you told me about your doppelganger idea when I was visiting you in PB0RG). But yeah, Exile On Main Street is not exactly the same sort of doppelganger as yours. As you say, the songs don't have the same titles, and they are each an informed (i.e. she knew the original songs) response to the Rolling Stones' songs, in some sort of conceptual or thematic way.
Ewww, that review makes me want to hear her new album (once, and then probably never again). |
| |
It's possible that this idea did come from Liz Phair, cos I remember recently talking about how "Exile in Guyville" is supposed to be a response to "Exile on Main St." with someone (Marc?). But I'll bet she listened to EOMS and her songs don't have the same names.
Speaking of LIZ PHAIR SUCKS, this is a really funny review of her new album:

I know where Tom's ideas come from: He rips them off from Liz Phair. ;-) |
| |
I don't know where ideas come from. Kurt Vonnegut's alter-ego "Kilgore Trout" says he has a small radio in his brain through which ideas are beamed. |
| |
Great idea again, how do you keep coming up with them?
I think Mix up the satellites is great.
I'm planning to make one too... now to find some time. |

I have to say that "Artificial Intelligence Bomb" sounds like a title that you'd use, even if it wasn't your song.

The best way to beat Xaero on Nightmare mode if he's really getting under your skin is to go the the very back corner of the platform opposite the railgun spawn (all the way across and all the way back). There is a small ledge that juts out from the pillar that you can walk on -- it might take a couple of tries to get on there, but it can be done. Once there, align yourself with the middle of the platform, and look toward the railgun spawn so that it is barely visible. Keep as far back as you can, though, or you'll be toast. Make sure your music volume is all the way down, and listen to the sound from the jumppads. A loud jumppad sound means he's going for the BFG -- when this is the case, move over on the edge so that you can see the floating platform with the BFG and you will see him appear up there and you can get him. If you hear a softer jumppad sound, he is jumping up to the platform you're on and if you're in that spot where you can barely see the railgun spawn, he'll run to the rear of the platform, and then run right across your viewpoint where you'll have a clear shot (rail) and he'll never shoot at you. Good luck. |
