man, my rom won't work wtf.

I recently got my hands on 30 years of unreleased funk by prince, and I found something that just blew me away. Computer Blue, the FULL version. The first 3 minutes or is the version heard on purple rain, but then it segues into a synthesizer driven madhouse, and shifts tone several times. I've heard quite a few epic pieces in my time, but the scope of the full version of computer blue is absolutely astounding, and I think it's his best work. Period. Has anyone else heard it? Want to share feedback on it?

So yeah, I'm def. gonna be there, is anyone else from the boston meetup that I attended going?

I've missed the last few, but I'd love to be in there with you guys this time . I almost shot myself for missing a chance at Lover Reef ;_;

Nice stuff, hope to see it turn out well

In response to alot of the comments and songs posted here, I just want to say that real, great guitar is not some guy running up and down scales as fast as possible. It's not just technical skill. I really think that maggot brain, as a whole, is the complete package in terms of guitar. It is 10 minutes of a one take improvised guitar solo that was never practiced before it was performed. The pure emotion of the guitar solo is unrivaled by almost anything in the guitar world. I've heard my fair share of guitar solos, but nothing comes close to maggot brain in terms of being one with the instrument, and doing something amazing. I think Maggot Brain is the standard to which a real guitar solo should be held, not on the basis of just technical skill, but on the human side too. And I don't think any other song measures up to that. Course, that's all my opinion xD

I am eagerly awaiting this. Find a song :0

Good stuff, I'm jealous of your talent >.<

Hmmm... does anyone else think that 3:45-5:00 on Maggot Brain is the greatest single use of guitar, like... ever? If anyone here hasn't heard that song... let me know, because it's absolutely mind blowing.

terrible misclick Now all I need is to be approved

also, is it in the wip forum of OCR, or the website? Because um... I can't register for the site

Why do I have to sign and fax my parents signature to get an account on the website? That's madness and daresay blasphemy. My parents are hundreds of miles away.

Hey guys, I have a fairly deep baritone, I'd love try out for any parts that you may need me for. I'll drop a quick sample (I dunno something acapella from like NBC)

Any eta on the results? >_>

Here's my entry guys: A heart contains several notes- Melodies for special situations. Played like drums or quickly strummed, they produce emotions. A midnight tryst contains a lovely ballad, Tempered later by the blues; Fighting words will illicit drama sung by a broadway muse. Fear of fate will still sing the gospel following a quick bout of prayer- While a sunset always arrives following electronic days in subtle layers. Anothers pain is echoed by a wailing sound, A guitar crying their hurt that day; While a flute, light and airy, brings peace and fends loss away. A snow covered field on a winters day is reflected by all that jazz; And a solo by a lone violin will remind us of beauty past. A single aria from a lonely soul becomes a duet between lovers, while a dirge follows inevitably when they depart each other. So from my heart to yours, Why can't we sing forever? Let's let our souls fly free and see what music we'll make together.

Count me in!

So... so in.

If this makes you feel any better, heres a vid of me pwning face in WoW really quickly http://youtube.com/watch?v=f2b1D5w82yU

Erm, I was pretty sure that the traditional haiku was supposed to contain a season word, and that example you showed my simply seemed to be a moku poem or whatnot. I'll keep my comments to myself for right now, if you would like to discuss this maybe we should move to pms or something of the like. Anyway! Here is my entry, oooh I enjoyed writing this one. Title: Mount Gaze Style: Freeform I hesitate to call this freeform actually. I have written several poems of length in this style. I don't know if it has a name, but it is enjoyable to write in, and has some rules that I use when writing this way. I would call it, "Thought Poetry", but I think that name is too simplistic. The top of the mountain is a lonely place. Overlooking the crystal peaks from my frozen sanctuary, it's as if everything is meaningless and insignificant. Peering down, everything seems as if nothing really matters. The problems of the earth are no longer my concern,--- I am content with being the watcher. I have no true power however; No true reason for my haughty airs. It is simply an illusion granted by the monolith. The cold is near unbearable. The skies don't show it though. There is no sign of all the freezing rain, and all the snow that lies below. All that exists- Is a single moment of perfect clarity and reflection- untainted by anything, The sun hangs at the lower edge of the eastern sky, partially obscured by crystal peaks. Such power! Even the sun cannot move them, Its rays blocked by their forms. A light show emerges, terrific hues play over the scene giving the entire landscape a pastel aura. orange near the horizon, and red, then purple, and finally dark, dark blue as the sky reveals itself. A single bold star defies the sun, refusing to give up it's light just yet. The moon is the stars consort, and they stand together in inevitable rebellion! ..... It is a time of compromise however; The sun and the moon can coexist. They agree that for a few moments, they can share the sky; and the harmony remains unbroken for the moment. Poetry? Prose? no. It is simply an experience. A discovery for the curious and bold, the ones of wit and cunning. The sun paints no picture; there is armistice in the heavens. The sun and the moon hold no compacts, and I? I start back down the mountain.

I may be wrong, but aren't haiku's supposed to have a reference to a season in them?

omg, huge error. Cannot edit. Problems! Make the "congratulations", "considerations"

-{Shooter}- Two Shots. That’s what it boils down to. When you’re staring down the barrel of a gun and the other chump is doing the same, all the calculations in the world are simultaneously the most important and last important congratulations in your life. Who has the guts to decide to pull the trigger and risk it all? This mark was named Shock Jameson. Bully, thug, hitman, Boss. Bad-tempered, bad-mannered, bad person. The most powerful mob leader in South City. But I know that you don’t overstep your bounds without expecting and being prepared for retaliatory reciprocation. Trading drugs overseas? Harassing political figures? Sorry Shock, but that shit just doesn’t fly. You make enemies like the syndicate that hired me, and I always get my job done – thanks to the incident. So here I was, standing in front of the Shock. He grinned, mocking me. It didn’t matter. His defenses were in shambles, his body guards? They were around. Some in several places. He and I were staring each other down in the middle of some god forsaken warehouse in a bad part of town. Shock fired. All the calculations in the world simultaneously the most important and least important considerations in your life. Shock took his chances. He was dead his future gone, his decision was fatal. Two shots, but if you walk in the sight of a gun, you’d better make sure that I’m not the shooter. I don’t miss.

I'll try and enter. I go for the big win however, so all you kids better watch yourselves >:0
