  1. I'm looking to expand my knowledge of music theory. I'm completely self-taught, and have a fairly good understanding of the basic concepts, but I'd like to delve into the more complex stuff. I know enough that you could tell me to play a song in a particular key and I could do it. I know basic chord structure; I can recognize a basic major or minor triad, and a very little beyond that. But I'm looking to get some more solid knowledge of the more complex elements. Any reccomendations?
  2. This is hands down the dumbest internet debate I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot.
  3. I'm comming by train from NC on thursday night. I'll be around all day friday. As far as when I'll be leaving, I'm not entirely sure, but most likely some time on saturday.
  4. Dunno about Mewtwo returning, but I agree that it's a safe bet that Yoshi, Zelda, and Peach are returning.
  5. I'd say the worst part of the whole counter-culture thing is not the rejection of popular music just because it's popular, but the acceptance of "indy" music just because it's indy. Look at Modest Mouse. Near as I can tell, there's nobody on the planet who actually likes modest mouse, but everybody pretends to so they can say they listen to indy music. The funny part is, I don't think modest mouse even qualifies as being "underground" anymore, since everybody and their mother has heard of them.
  6. There is such a thing as good pop music, I won't deny it. But look at some of the crap that has sold millions. Take Kelly Clarkeson's "Since U Been Gone." Everything about that song is so generic a computer program could have written it. The lyrics are simply one disconnected breakup song cliche after another. The writer didn't even bother trying to link them together into something coherent, it sounds like they drew lines out of a hat. And it was a huge hit! BUt as I said, this is merely the best example of the worst of pop. There are some genuinly good pop songs out there.
  7. How the fuck did pikmin get a "NO?" THat's an awesome game. Is it too late for me to vote YES on pikmin?
  8. The mix is now in Usa's hands. He's gonna do percussion and bass, then once he's done that I'll record the whistles. Haven't heard from Magininja about the fiddle.
  9. This is really nice. Very thought-out and well-executed. Good samples, good production, interesting arrangement ideas.
  10. If their "daily updates" consist of telling us about 1 item or character each day, they could drag it out pretty long without telling us anything interesting.
  11. That was a joke, right? I mean, since both ripped off star wars?
  12. If you really need a different themed month, just wait until October; it's internet drama month.
  13. You mean everybody puts me in their sigs?
  14. Ok, I just realized I posted a link to completely the wrong version earlier. [old link]
  15. MOST CURRENT VERSION:http://h.xerol.org/f.php?f=390 This is a mix of Castlevania 2's "Bloody Tears," with a brief cameo from Chrono Cross's "Another Termina." Yes, I know everybody and their mother has mixed this song. But they haven't done it like this!
  16. I would love to hear a mix of the song in this trailer
  17. Holy shit, look at that musicians list.
  18. We really don't know when it's going to launch; if it's going to launch "today by japan time," that means it could be any time between now and 11:00 AM EST tomorrow.
  19. Sorry, would have made that post in the other topic, but this could definitely effect whether I agree or dissagree with the draft. If the answer is that it's ok for me to continue using remixes as routine music, I have no objections to anything else in the policy, and would vote in favor of it. If I can't, I don't know. Most likely I'd either abstain from voting or vote against it.
