That's usually what people at around djpretzel's age do. and now you're even older

Maybe some good music will come out of this.

It's easy to dislike the casting of Mr. Woah, because he has become the default science fiction choice, and Hollywood (generalisation) is an insecure entity having trouble creating something original, thus following the path of least resistance (licensing existing ideas, remakes, or picking Keanu in a science fiction production). At the end of the day, I really don't care what happens to narrow things like these popular productions (movies, remakes, television series, and the like), because I don't make it a religion. I assume this applies to most people, but the fact that so many people appear to express their interest in such matters in general (not just here) reflects how shallow existence is.

Still--most heinous.

Burn, Hollywood, Burn! Not surprising at all. Hollywood = path of least resistance. Keanu = Science fiction everything This frequency is no longer operational.

This is something I stumbled upon some time ago, but it may apply to some of the musicians here. This is not about bigtime deals--be realistic--but getting your material into film and TV through a catalogue service, as an aside, but you could do well, as this guy points out. Your music would perhaps be those small filler parts in film and TV productions, or maybe you have a full-fledged song which could replace a track which had to be left out due to licensing issues (his Rolling Stones example). Although this guy represents one such service, the (short) talk is generally about what these services do, but of course, with concrete examples from this guy's company. You'll probably have to pay some fee to be promoted in this catalogue--be realistic. I'm sure you'll manage to find more information on your own.

In the spirit of comparing songs that share a similar motif and/or similar characteristics: 1) "Somebody told us that the refrain in this remix [sweet] somewhat resembles an old 80'ies pop tune. This must be purely coincidential, and we have yet to find which tune this is. [Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)] We'll get back to you if we find it." Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) I don't know. Was this a coincidence? With the refrain and title as well? I mean, I've talked about ideas with people before, who at some later time contacted me introducing "their new idea," which was the idea I talked to them about. Don't forgive my skepticism. 2) You could also do a James Horner (rip from yourself): James Horner - Bicentennial Man James Horner - A Beautiful Mind 3) It's easy to find recurring parts in songs by Uematsu (which I've probably heard the most of in that realm of music), even parts that can be copied and pasted into later songs (the first that comes to mind is taking the bassline from Seymour's battle music (FF X), using it with the lead chorus of The man with the machine-gun (FF VIII)). I guess that's a consequence of making short compositions--a number of them--which are supposed to be repeatable. 4) I think the similarity was already mentioned (Rick Astley) about Robo's Theme: ..which could partly be similar to:

Good start, then. Here are some suggestions to build on what you have done. * Scrolling up or down currently requires single mouse clicks (the button is pressed down and released before any scrolling occurs). It should, however, support scrolling up or down at some convenient speed when the mouse button is *held down* over the up or down icon, because it's tiresome to click and click and click, and it doesn't even move one whole item up or down. (Right now you have to click many times to scroll.) ** The list doesn't stop scrolling, so it can eventually be scrolled outside of the visible area in either direction. *** After the last song has played, the player does not scroll the list up as expected. If this player is only intended for some special one-off context, then this is okay behaviour, the rationale being that most people are used to inconsistencies when visiting various sites that reinvent the user interface experience (a negative side effect of this type of technology). Good music, too.

Actually, I recall I enjoyed his part in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Anyway. Doubt they'd ever dub him for Bebop. I'd agree with going for some "new" blood for this one, unless someone better comes along.

Aphex Twin - "Come to daddy" (scream-a-long) YouTube--the place where everybody puts their "MP3s".

Keanu Reeves as Spike? hahahaHAHAHA no. No. NO! Space him. He's simply wrong for most parts, what with his puny voice and all. Find a new guy. Don't stick with the default case. If they can't even think past Keanu Reeves, what hope is there for them to ditch all the other movie clichés? Anyway. We all need something to loathe.

I couldn't agree more, however, the whole time machine idea killed it for me. How about slapping an afro on Jon Stewart? No..--Pauly Shore could let his hair grow.--Weird Al is out of the picture for so many reasons. More plz. Do the work of the casting agency.

Casting: Here's Spike Anyway. As long as they manage to keep the nonchalant feel of the series, I'll be happy. The rest is about bounty hunters + space + action + comedy + great music (Kanno, or maybe THE THRILL (Blue Submarine No. 6)).

What. No Beach Boys? Same fate:

Based on the file name, it may have been part of IronMix Challenge 20 (IMC20). Maybe one of these.. IMC20 Clockwork Dolphin - Pan Demon Empire (1:55) Xerol Oplan - Peace and Pandemonium (4:36) Dark Paladin - Atomic Castle (3:06) Kyle Nin - Pandemonium Panic (3:32) ..except that the time of 1:41 doesn't match up, if this information is correct. http://bambombim.googlepages.com/ironmix Bundeslang's Place

Somehow, I knew this would be mentioned as I saw that picture in the interview. Congrats. Keeps taking off. err.. I mean, taking off in another clothed, err context.

I guess the XII developers didn't realize that all enemies were 100% combat efficient no matter how much HP they had left. Flat battle system in general. Flat game overall. Dull and mostly flat locations. Couldn't turn off the muzak while galavanting around mostly boring landscapes forever and ever. XIII. If Yoko Shimomura <3 does the music, at least something good will come out of it. ^^ As for all the other FF variations, also XIII, I don't really care about FF that much I guess, or else I would have followed every news story, but what's the point; it comes out when it comes out. It sucks or it rocks. VIII. I don't buy the main criticism of this game. The junction system was too complicated? haha You could simply have the game do it all for you, which was the preferred starting point anyway. If you wanted, you could simply attach Death to Attack, or do other context sensitive changes, such as making the character absorb fire in an area with heavy fire elemental attacks. That's very complicated, alright. It's the bare minimum of configuration available to you. Just stock up on magic and remember to draw the GF.--This criticism was probably made up by the same mass suggesting media morons which gave XII the highest ratings all over the world. Some GameSpot reviewer even complained that the gambit and license systems were too complicated. Gambits are the simplest logical rules you can find, except boolean algebra, and their use is optional anyway. It's the simplest system you'll find, because the giant corporation that made the game relies on you grasping the concepts. The license system was complicated as well, of course. >_< It's a grid. You have points you can use to open things on the grid. You select where. Complicated. It was boring, though. Maybe that's what the reviewer actually meant. X-2. The battles were a joy compared to X. The pace was good, combos added some arcade game feel to it, however, you could also abuse the system by constantly changing the dresses during battles. KH has generally been fun to play. You may not always get what the hell is going on during a battle with many foes at the same time, but it makes you look good. Anyway, what do you care, you get showered with lots of glowing orbs. Glowing ooorbs. arhlllllllll~~

Note: You can uninstall SP3, however, you can't downgrade from IE7 to IE6 after SP3 has touched the system, if that is an issue. Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3): 1) includes all previously released updates for the operating system. * If you reinstall an SP2 version of XP, you would install SP3 instead of waiting for about 100 patches to download. 2) also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system. * You can download these separately if you want. For example, if you want to be able to connect to WPA2 encrypted wireless networks, you can download an update that will add this functionality. See the white paper for details about new functionality. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=68c48dad-bc34-40be-8d85-6bb4f56f5110&displaylang=en In general, just make sure you always have a boot disk handy and/or know how to use the recovery console from the installation media. See my earlier post for links. I'm currently a bit suspicious of SP3, because it may trigger the problem I experienced. Except for that problem, which occured after Windows Update had installed other updates much later [in the first case] and wanted a restart, I'm still running SP3 on this system. (I was in contact with Microsoft support about this later, but they insisted there could be a lot of other factors that may have caused the problem, like corrupted files that coincided etc.)

Yesterday I was prompted by Windows Update to install the normal updates, and allowed it to restart, only to be faced with the following message when the system attempts to boot up again: NTLDR is missing Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart. This is the second time this has happened, on two different systems. One was a clean OEM install of XP Pro with SP2 integrated, then updated to SP3--and after Windows Update had done its thing some days later, the required system files go missing; booting into the recovery console, from the installation media, confirms that there were no files at the root level of the boot partition, and that a time consuming (about two hours on most systems) chkdsk /R will not be able to recover them. Prepare for it. Have a boot disk ready that can boot into the OS again. However, should you experience this problem, you might as well use the recovery console from the installation media (XP SP2) instead, and copy both required files to the boot partition.-- The boot disk or boot CD, or boot-whatever-you-can-boot device is probably the fastest solution, but you still have to do this: COPY D:\I386\NTLDR C:\ COPY D:\I386\NTDETECT.COM C:\ C is the bootable system partition. D is the installation media. Verify that the files are on C after the copy. (The COPY function part of the recovery console is a bug in itself.) You may probably need to reconstruct BOOT.INI manually, if the BOOTCFG command from the recovery console fails (BOOT.INI is optional here, but it's normally used, and includes parameters passed to the OS loader, and may also point to a local install of the recovery console (cmdcons), or other OS installations). Instead of uninstalling XP SP3 on the other system, I reinstalled the OS and left SP3 out of it. See also Windows Service Pack Blocker Tool Kit.--That system has been running fine for a month now, whereas the instance with SP3 installed survived only a couple of days. It is unclear what exactly causes this problem, but SP3 may be provoking this behaviour somehow, however, my system has been running SP3 longer than the other system again. This isn't hard to correct in general, but it's incredibly unnecessary to spend time on such things. It may be that SP3 reveals a bug in NTFS, or reintroduced it. This KB article is the closest I have come [but not the most accurate] for the possible reasons for this behaviour. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320397

err I have one submission; "A Day in Agrabah" (Kingdom Hearts) (I skipped the crazy part that plays after several repetitions.)

http://www.dreams2.com/nbcm/gitarren/movie.htm A guitar with 31 notes per octave. Pure tone tuning. I remember Anders Thidell introducing his own guitar concept on some Swedish talk show called Eftersnack ("Aftertalk"). The guitar shown there can be picked up and played as a normal guitar, and has 21 frets. OK, this probably better demonstrates the whole concept. http://youtube.com/watch?v=JD2bhDl2ivc The narrator basically says Thidell invented "True Temperament," but I'm sure (I hope) he actually meant the name of the fretboard configuration.

Yes. SMART is smart. Your BIOS may not read, or have not been configured to read the SMART statistics. In that case, use a utility like this to figure out whether the harddisk has recorded any errors, and whether it should be replaced. You could have tried chkdsk d: /r (five stages, deeper recovery method), but if you've already formatted the harddisk, it's too late.

Hei @ 4 am, ..and I was going to point out that "Mor di" is equivalent to YOUR MOM in one dialect of Norwegian. :]

The lead is too sharp/burns through. It's out of place in contrast with the rest of the arrangement, which was vivid and pleasant. Just listened once in the background, and that was what I picked up on.

Yours had a soul. I didn't like too much of the vocal manipulation though. PS: How the "Holy Fuck Mix" got the most votes is way beyond my subjective understanding of music. Way beyond. I smell sheep. http://radioheadremix.com/remix/?id=129 PPS: They sort by vote count. Anyway. It's a subjective thing--mostly.
