Being tidy I would like to have a few things in this thread that probably don't merit a thread of their own. First up: Google. I just can't reach it. If I ping it I get "www.1.google.com", which just seems wrong. I then changed my Hosts file to go to a Google IP number, and that worked for a few days, but now it's gone to shit again. Any suggestions? Secondly, I have a Nokia 2600 phone and an 18 month old child, put them together and suddenly I've got two, one pixle wide lines on the the screen, one horizontal, the other (you guessed it) vertical. About the postion of the Golden Section. Either this is some Di Vinci Code or my screen's rogered, is there any precedent for such a thing? Thirdly, "Tears from the Compound Eye" - BOC, just MAJESTIC. Fourthly, I'm taking pre-orders for a Grinning Ape 7" (may have found a vinyl presser what have you thing here en el sur) Fifthny, where's Earthleakage lately? Sixtethly, feel free to add your own topic, that's right, this one's on me, gratis! |

what's the price of the vinyl? I need a job, but I'll try and scrape something together if it's not too expensive... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll only buy the vinyl if it is coloured, I'm so bored of black vinyl. Can I pre-order a pea green one? |

Futher more I am bored of eskimos too |
||||||||

|
|
It's going to be grey / gray vinyl. And because it's going to be exclusive (on account of hardly anyone buying it), it'll be dead expensive. |

Triple gatefold with lush artwork? |

|

|
|
how many are you having printed? also 6: is gratis an english word too? weird.. definately not "originally" english, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gratis is used in portugese/italian/dutch/etc., I think. MULTI NATIONAL COMPATIBILITY! |
||||||||

*also used |

4. i'll get a job and buy that. i assume it will not be gratis. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but I always thought it had a slightly different meaning in those languages... some "festive" connection or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're thinking of "grattis" and Sweden, aren't you? AREN'T YOU?! |
||||||||

... ..no... *hides* |

wikip-p-p-p-p: Gratis is an adjective in Latin and various Romance and Germanic languages meaning free, in the sense that one does not have to pay for some good or service (free of charge). |

7. Contrary to popular belief, girls actually cannot poop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm.. I figured it'd be latin, but I guess I though it, outside of norway, was more connected to festivities.. as in "it's the birthday of jesus, so you get things gratis," and then there'd be some separate word for "free (no reason)" I was obviously wrong, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's just a latin word that people drop in for no reason other than it's one of the few latin words or phrases they know, quid pro quo, ummm.. deus ex machina. |

I didn't know the Happy Mondays had a new one. Nor Rick Astley. Aled Jones.... Lambchop... The best of Prodigy... Arab Strap... oh, and Boards of Canada, who the hell are they? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know about the phone or anything, but wow, you moved fast on the vinyl! :D i will definitely be buying one... it's going to be less than $50, right? are you setting up a paypal account or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Call me a scenester, but that arctic monkeys track is a choon... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people post very few at this time frame |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I'll buy your bloody 7" too, go on.. :) |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

I got some thougts to post here: last days I bumped like 25 "discography threads", all aphex releases, cos I was listening to them all.. (one by one of course, I am not elusive)... yes I had one of these aphex trips I like to have from time to time and I listened to all my aphex music the thing is that I was stranged how little discussion all of them caused actually most of hem have persisted un-answered after my posts I must make the conclusion that a massive wave of grey threads is not really good for the messageboard... but its curious, cos its all about the music... I guess I learnt the lesson, right now I am starting such a trip with squarepusher discography and I dont think I will post in those threads... not in more than one or two... its clear that people are not really interested in such discussion also I understand that it can be my fault... maybe what i post doesnt really lead to any kind of discussion I ve thought of these several times,a nd many times Id like to add some thoughts, but my english just makes it hard and I am too lazy... so I just stick to the casual "I love it" or the such thanks for the thread, so I can post this also I think the space bar in my keyboard is a little fucked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's a good point... i haven't read those grey threads because i didn't really know much about those releases, so i don't know exactly what you wrote, but how many times will everyone keep going, "oh it's so good/bad"? if you want a good discussion, you should try and pose a question or share some sort of insight that will inspire a conversation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whats that grinning ape 7" you're gonna press? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Ive not decided WHICH tracks to press, but, let's say, at this stage, one 7" single, four of the BEST Ape tracks. As for Nackers / Nacmat... I do still like to talk about Aphex, he is in my Top 5 of ALL TIME, still, ... but the only time I'm moved to comment in one of those threads is when someone dismisses a classic and says they prefer the highly overrated Drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont worry... its me... I am alone at home and my stomach hurts... I dont know what to do and I am in a bad mood I guess is 4.30am here so I iwll wait till tomorrow to see if my stomach is ok by then its that kind of day when nothing is really working so dont listen to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Siempre te hago caso, it's late here too, well, nearly,.. I'm glad you bumped all the album/single releases threads, it made it look like this board was about MUSIC, which is as it should be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it your music? if so; I want one too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whats the going rate? This will seriously be the first and only vinyl i will own. A treasured prize from one of my favorite posters. |
||||||||

VP, as my Spiritual Mentor, and general Guru, I would gladly pop round your house and deliver one personally for free with a complimentary bottle of Jack D. (or Evian water, of you're on the wagon). |
||||||||
|

|
I'll go with the water! Stay for a personal BBQ. I'll cook for you and the missus! :D |

You are right about tears from the compound eye dude! I dont actually have much to add to this thread at all. I am just happy to agree with things. The oly other thig i have to say is thati am worried about not having a sleeping pattern. Woiuld this make any major differece to my health? All i seem to think about is my own mortality, hmmm. |

The oly other thig i have to say is thati am worried about not having a sleeping pattern. Woiuld this make any major differece to my health? i doubt it. maybe your mental health eventually. All i seem to think about is my own mortality, hmmm. you've really just got to stop it. stop thinking about it. think about something else instead. that's all you can do about it. seriously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do try but my sleeping pattern kind of isolates me alot of the time, so i don't get to talk to people much. Well not for very long anyhow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you have a lot of caffiene (or otherwise take drugs)? if so, you should think about limiting that and setting an alarm clock. i used to have bad sleep habits, so i can really relate to that. you just have to have self-discipline if you're going to get back into a "normal" routine. just keep waking up at the same time in the morning for a week or so and you'll make it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and i think you'd stop worrying about death if you spent more time having fun with other people. don't mean to sound harsh, but i think that's the reality of it. ;) |
