XLT is odd

Think about it, first you have us screw balls.

Then you have these eyes up top just watching you. Waiting
for an exact moment to strike when you least expect it.

I vote that the eyes should shoot lasers somehow.

I vote that they should be panda eyes OR that every member
should donate a picture of their eyes in the same fashion
and you get a random pair everytime the index loads.

FACT: The only times I posted a quantity of music related
threads was when I first joined and when I was being naughty
that first month after I was banned.

hi sylvia!

many cute panda pics have been posted in my absence!

[ot]

why do i feel the need to stay up late all the friggin
time?

nothing is happening on the internet. i'm too
hungover/drunk to focus on playing metroid. i'm pretty
tired. nobody is doing anything tonight. and, sleep is
pretty awesome.

but, i just can't force myself to go to sleep at 10:20 on a
saturday.

that's dumb.

it's so hard for me to finish reading an entire book.

it's the same with videogames (and everything i supose). i
usually read 3/4 of a book and then lose interest (even if i
really like the book). it's frustrating.

in order for me to finish a book i almost have to force
myself to read it in a day or two, or it just never gets
done.

.. as an interesting aside, i do have a totally amazing book
called the art of looking sideways that i recomend to everyone here.
every page is designed differently and features it's own
stand alone content. so, you can flip to any page in the
book, read it, and close the book and you don't miss
anything. and, yet somehow the book comes together as a
complete work. it's great. and VERY worth the price. the
book is nearly 4 inches thick.

heh. I had a period recently when I wouldn't finish things,
and I'm trying to squelch that. It started because I would
force myself to finish awful things =)

These days I just use a huge number of filters before
deciding to put up with something; if I leave music on my
hard drive (or purchase it) I've already seen commentary,
asked people I trust, scanned samples. With books I look
over lots of lists, try to extrapolate based on my tastes..

bah I'm talking out of my ass, I'm sure you do this too
(duh). If you like science fiction I recommend Iain M.
Banks's Culture novels.

Funnily enough, I have such a great dread of starting
something and it sucking, that I actually start many fewer
things than I used to =) This dread is practically
physical.

HRAHRAHRA the irony; I finally read the last paragraph of
your post and though 'that awful book sounds like a god-send
for ADD', and then ... oh shit

when it comes to music i usually find a few artists i like
and listen to them for weeks at a time.

i suppose i'm pretty fucking boring that way.

it's not unheard of for a cd to stay in my car stereo for
two months straight.

oh I definitely get stuck in phases, and become a ridiculous
advocate of whatever it is during that interval. Makes life
quite fun. Mine don't really last a month (though I've
listened to piezo daily for probably a month, and no other
autechre in many), but still then they disappear and it's
really nice to run into them again, not just because they
are fresh but all this weird nostalgia comes back.

I almost wish I was forced to listen through whole albums
though, it's pretty miserable with this huge automatically
seekable hard drive, I can get anything I want any time.
Really makes my collection feel teeny and, well, boring.

now I tell you, I'M the boring one.

[totally uninteresting personal info]

when i was like 16 or 17 i had a jeep cj7. actually, i
still have it..

anyway, it had a tape deck, and the single for beck: loser
stayed in that tape deck for months and months. it was only
two (or maybe three) songs long, but for some odd reason i
didn't get bored of it.

my first serious girlfriend tore that cassette up on our
first date. i'm pretty sure that was foreshadowing.

hahaha.

you ever listened to old scene (demoscene) music?
Chiptunes, tracker shit, and the like?

Anyway, these were pretty neat music formats. I guess you
can relate it to midi, in that it specified where notes fall
in time and you passed it to some interpreting software (or
hardware!) which generates actual sound from it (unlike
waveform approximating files).. anyway this relation is dim
because it has so many features regarding what you can do,
and also the samples are included in the file so it's not
like a different instrument bank gives different music
(though yeah don't worry, I know that's part of the point of
midi).

ANYWAY. one feature is loops you could specify. I have
this one track that I could loop like 20x.. of course not
much.. aw shit now I want to punch myself.

Funny thing is I could show it to people and it would take
like 18x to realize it had looped..

hmm.. doesn't ring a bell, but i could very well have heard
it and not known.

is it like fasttracker stuff? mod files and the like?

just about everything i know about that kind of thing is
from looking over pomme's shoulder for the last 13 years or
so.
