One other question: how do I figure out which version I need? This is the first ipod I've owned, and I have no idea whether it's first generation, second generation, or what.

So I got an iPod for christmas (iPod classic, 80 GB), and I'm debating whether to keep the normal ipod firmware or install Rockbox. Has anybody tried this? What are the advantages/disadvantages?

Originally from CA, I've been living in NC for about 13 years now.

Adding one more thing to the list of gear I might bring: the world's coolest fuzz pedal, the Rebick Guitars Fuzz Fro.

Holy shit it's almost magfest time. By the way, I will definitely be bringing all my gear, electric stuff included. Here's the full list: -Acoustic guitar (Carvin C350) -Irish Whistle (Humphrey Journeyman high D) -Irish low whistle (Burke Composite low D) -Electric guitar (Carvin Bolt) -Amp (Kendrick 2210 combo) -Fuzz pedal (seymore duncan Tweak Fuzz) -Tubescreamer (modded TS9) -Wah (Rebick guitars Josh-oo-wah) -Power supply for pedals

Some people just show up without even arranging a room, and just crash with whoever will let them in. This will most likely involve forking over $20 per night to sleep on the floor, but it's better than nothing. Try to get a room if you can, but if the only thing that would stop you from comming is inability to get a room, come anyway.

Sounds good to me! Actually, I really should play some TA over the next couple days to get back in practice; I haven't played at all since last year. But anyway, I would definitely support an OCR Tetris Attack tourney.

The event is indoors, but you have to go out to get food and stuff. And since the OCR crew often goes out as one big group, that means a fair amount of time spent outside waiting for everybody to gather and decide who's riding with who and where we're all eating.

Your friend wins this thread. He needs to come to MAG.

I think they give you the badge when you check in at MAGfest; they don't mail it to you.

Anso, you whore. You started a dropping out trend. You make god kill even more kittens than I thought.

That's exactly what it was. It wasn't a "replica;" it was the exact same track, tags and all.

This is definitely one sick mix. I was expecting loads of epic rock-your-fucking-face-off guitar shredding, and absolutely got it. However, the strings were a complete surprise, and they were absolutely beautiful. Blended seamlessly with the more traditional rock elements, and provided a really nice contrast to the force and weight of the rest of the track. Definitely one of my favorite mixes.

Hoping for either an ipod or QL Gypsy.

I'm going to have to miss this one as well. Sorry guys, but it was either this or MAGfest, and I already paid for MAGfest.

That would be fucking sweet

I think kenobio wins this thread.

Yeah, pretty much. This is brilliant. Arrangement, production, and especially concept are absolutely brilliant.

Ok, guys, if somebody ever tries this again (aside from alt accounts), we should all act like it's brilliant and see if we can get them to actually submit it.

Wait, did this post always say this or just since he edited it?

For shame, DS. As a judge, you should know that changing the tags constitutes an addition of original material, making the mix his own!

Well, it has a bit too much reverb. Also, some of the strings and percussion are sort of faux. If you're hitting the same note repeatedly on any sampled instrument, it's usually a good idea to vary up the velocity a bit. Also, before you submit this, make sure you come up with a better remixer name. David Cleese is sorta boring. How about "Cleek?" I look forward to hearing the next update.

BRILLIANT! Yes, please clean up the mud a bit and then submit this. The judges absolutely must hear this. ANYBODY WHO SAYS ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SHOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP.

By the way, I resent the implication that llamas are somehow not the definition of awesome. Proof that llamas are awesome: once, my brother and I (along with our dad, our cousin, and two guides) were llama trekking (hiking with llamas coming along with us to carry our packs), and my brother was harassing one of the llamas. It reared back its head and sneezed in his face. He, paused a second for his brain to process the situation, then ran away screaming. It was the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen. His hair was completely drenched in llama snot. He had a layer of snot covering his face. Snot in his ears, snot in his mouth, snot all over him. Oh my god that was epic. Anyway, carry on.
