Jesus.
Gee Sober, thanks for pointing out the blindingly obvious? Why is everyone suddenly talking down when there's nothing/no-one to talk down to? Is it a power vaccuum? Or a new school year?

No no! It's so that the people who are pretending to correct each other when they're actually agreeing can laugh at the people who don't realize that they're just pretending.

Now Southwest, I see what you're saying, and it makes sense in ideal theory, but in practice, it just doesn't work. The kind of clairvoyance necessary for such a joke is beyond that of any songfighter. I was being sarcastic earlier.

Ah haha!
Mr. _Statistic, you're half way to earning a place in my heart. Now if you can only get the real Cher to sing on a song this week you will be my favorite forever. /hypocrisy
The only real reason I'm posting this is because now I've got 99 posts to my name. One small step for man...

I can't take it. All this talk of the low rate is making me tent. I love down-converting. I think I'm in for one of these fights. Maybe a new group called Trip's Slip for the alphabet canine thingie.

I'm in for ABCDP. But I think I'm skipping the optional challenge.
What's going to happen is that listeners are going to forget there was an optional challenge, and they're going to hear these crappy sounding recordings and end up voting for one that sounds good. (*rubs hands to gether diabolically*) It's all part of my master plan for vic-toh-ry MWAHHAHAHAHAA!!! Oh, but wait, the song sucks. Oh well.

If you's in for ABCDP, and at full rate, I"ll still take your west coast ass down with the low bit rate. Side bet Jimmy? Muhahahahahahahahahaha, shhhhh, now kitty.... muhahahahahaha

I'm planning to include "64kbps mono" in the lyrics. Unfortunately, those are the only lyrics I've got so far.

How about 'would probably improve the sound of Bono' ?
I am wavering on an 'ABCD Puppies'. Have the sweetest lyric that I have written in an age, in my head. Ah, why do I always write better stuff when I dislike the titles?
however as musically dry as Jonathan Richman without a reverb unit. We shall see ...

Woke up this morning (at 5.30am) with a great idea for ABCD Puppies. Wrote it all down and figured out the chords. And now my soundcard has gone down. Bummer. Thought I'd record the guitar in stereo, but found that the second input wasn't working. Tested it with other sources and found this to be so. Pre-amp was working because the meter was lighting up, but then the sequencer wasn't picking it up, neither was the soundcard applet. Downloaded and installed the latest drivers, then to my horror, all sound has gone! Bollocks.
Oh well.

Hostess Mostess has found its old hat lying in the back of the closet. We have dusted it off and are poking it back into shape. We will soon throw it into the ring! Our Zero to Phantom is sounding sweet!
It's good to be back.

Sleep is best when you're supposed to be awake and busy.

i think i have a problem, and i need to come to grips with it. i am ready to admit it. my sleep dependency is really eating into all other aspects of my life and preventing me from doing ... well ... pretty much anything else. some mornings i will go to bed, and set my alarm for like eight or nine hours thinking that will give me enough time to get some stuff done before i need to be at work that evening. and the alarm wakes me and i fall back asleep. and continue to fall back asleep until i've been in bed for like thirteen or fourteen hours and i NEED to get up to get to work on time. wash, rinse, repeat, and now i am in a cycle of working and sleeping and nothing in between! help!

I don't normally get up at 5.30 am. I usually get up at 8.00 ish. But I've had a cough lately and can't get to sleep and then wake up early. Then of course the cat saw me and thought it was breakfast time and started wingeing.
Well, we have till Wednesday evening this week, so maybe I can get my soundcard working again or worse still, I could use the G4 built in soundcard. It can apparently handle 24-bit. I wonder if Logic will turn it's nose up at me. Can't sing anyway, with this cough, so if anyone wants a song I could do some sort of primitive recording of it and send you a text file with the chords and lyrics. Nah, didn't think so.
