  1. First version of Enter the Frog that was rejected by the panel back in 02: http://championvinyl.net/enter_frog_wip.mp3 edit: here's the decision if anyone's interested: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=864&highlight=Enter+Frog
  2. Nice work, though a cheap pop filter for your mic would make a really big difference. Cheers.
  3. rejected submission from judge (at the time): http://remix.thasauce.net/song/RTS0113/ decision: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12719
  4. yeah....there's a reason having 25 different passwords may be a good thing.
  5. yeah, if the instructions worked that would help
  6. I didn't see the da vinci code, so I guess my answer is....maybe?
  7. For the record, trying to prevent people from dying != preventing people from dying. SPOILERS ABOUND: 1) Langdon is manipulated (easily I might add) by the Carmelengo for most of the story until Richter (who solves the puzzle ages before Langdon does) feeds him the answer in his last, frustrated living act. 2) Did I mention that Langdon's bumbling gets Richter killed right just before he is able to bring the Carmelengo to justice? 3) Add to that the scores of Swiss Guardsman Langdon blindly leads to an untimely, horrific death. I'm sorry. Langdon may be a realistic protagonist, but there is just nothing compelling about the man. He gets lead around by the nose for 90% of the movie. Stimulus/response: feed him a religious symbol and watch him hop in a Fiat and drive across town to whatever Catholic shrine happens to face east towards the rising sun or whatever ridiculous clue you want to infer from the writings of Archimedes. I have no idea what it is about this movie that makes me so passionate, but boy does it piss me off the more I think about it.
  8. Anyone actually see this? If so, did anyone else notice that all that Langdon does in this story is f@#$ up and get people killed? Worst protagonist ever.
  9. Uh exactly. Your rant accidentally provided a correct interpretation of the song. (thanks mono for pointing this out)
  10. I don't hate Billy Joel like a lot of the folks in this thread do, but I do think he's interesting. Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from rock writers about the man: "The problem is that Joel never seemed cool, even among the people who like him. He's not cool in the conventional sense (like James Dean), or in the self-destructive sense (like Keith Richards), nor is he cool in the kitschy, campy, "he's so uncool he's cool" way (like Neil Diamond). He has no intrinsic coolness, and he has no extrinsic coolness. If cool were a color, it would be black--and Joel would be kind of a burnt orange. The bottom line is that it's never cool to look like you're trying...and Joel tries really, really hard." -Chuck Klosterman "If he wanted to be a humble tunesmith–a 'piano man' if you will–he would be a lot better off. But he's not content with that. He wants something grander. And that pretentious side infects not only his bad and mediocre work, but also his best work. […] He and Don Henley are really notable for how resentful they are about their lack of respect. You don't catch Celine Dion complaining about a lack of critical respect, and she's a lot worse than Billy Joel. But she doesn't care. Billy Joel cares deeply about that respect, and he wants it bad." -Robert Christgau "Back when Joel was regularly making albums guaranteed to produce at least three Top 10 singles–not to mention sleeping with Christie Brinkley every night–he would read his bad reviews on stage and angrily rip them to shreds in front of tens of thousands fans. Incredibly, even after he earned the affections of millions of people who slow danced to "Just The Way You Are" at their weddings and sang along with drunken strangers to "Piano Man," Joel felt unappreciated. He didn't get one of the most head-slappingly obvious facts of existence: Any artist, no matter how poorly regarded in critical circles, is way more important than any music writer." -Steven Hyden
  11.
