    boink = anyone can join and no ratio enforcement.

    Waffles.fm looks to be the most promising of them all...identical layout and whatnot...however, like oink you need to be invited. A good thing, but it will just take longer for the community to grow again.

    There is some shed of hope in all this though with news that the world's most famous pirates - The Pirate Bay - are working on an OiNK replacement site to be called called BOiNK. The big difference between the two will also be that the site will unfortunately be public, which will mean that anybody can come along, connect to a tracker and take a look at user IP addresses with minimal effort, making pre-release albums to hot to handle. Plus without requisite share-ratio enforcement there will obviously be no incentive to share and will undoubtedly mean that content selection and download speeds will not even come close to OiNK

    Meet Your Three New Best Friends!

    Date: 2007-04-20, 6:29PM CDT

    Mattress, Box Spring, Bed Frame and I met 8 months ago when I was new to Austin. They were new themselves, not just to Austin, but to life as the makings of a Twin bed set in general. We met at ACL; more specifically in the H-E-B Zilker Beach Playground. The four of us were sitting on plastic Adirondack chairs, enjoying the misting fans and watching Wolf Parade perform on the nearest stage, when some ACL volunteer came up and gruffly told us to get out of the playground.

    Well, what could we do? All four of us knew we were in the wrong. There were signs were plastered everywhere: “Children and Parents Onlyâ€. We all pretended otherwise, though, offering sheepish apologies and pleading ignorance as we filed out of the snow-fenced area. Out once again among the sweaty masses, Mattress started laughing quietly to himself. Box Spring smiled and chuckled, and soon a comradely was formed around our shared exile from the kiddy oasis.

    From there, we ended up hitting it off famously. We hung out together until well past Van Morrison that night, doing the Sixth street thing and ending it all at Kirby Lane. I asked if they had a place to crash for the night and none of them did. The rest, as they say, is history.

    As I ready myself for my move back to New York, I grow teary-eyed at the prospect of leaving such good friends behind as Mattress, Box Spring, and Bed Frame. I promised to help them find a new place, so here they are, your three new best friends!

    A) Here’s Mattress, making another one of his world-class vegetarian meals. Mattress graduated from the New England Culinary Institute at Montpelier among the top of his class. While he is knowledgeable in nearly all the food arts, he holds his specialty in dessert pastries, particularly Hungarian Nut Rolls.

    B) There’s ‘ole Box Spring, at it again on the weight bench. Just off camera to the right is Box Spring’s ancient boom box, which has only known the love of two CD’s: The Best of Van Halen, volumes I and II. It’s not that he doesn’t like other music; he just finds it pumps him up while he’s pumping up. We know he’s moved on to the free weights because you can hear “Panama†all the way in the kitchen.

    C) Bed Frame insisted that I use this picture of him posing with his prized moose head, even though I told him it might not endear him to certain craigslist viewers. Innocent moose slaughter aside, Bed Frame is a great guy. He spends his days as an LPN at Shady Pines Nursing Home and most nights at the local Boys and Girls Club teaching basketball fundamentals to underprivileged youth. He’s a real three-point specialist, but as you might imagine he’s a bit porous on defense.

    When I asked them what they thought they were worth, they told me they retail for $240. They recognize they’re no spring chickens, but they keep themselves in immaculate condition and figured they’re still worth about $99 or thereabouts, negotiable. And that’s without all the intangibles that make them such great companions.

    D) Look, it’s Mattress, Box Spring and Bed Frame, out on the patio for their Sunday afternoon ritual, “Coffee, Confections and Conversation!†It looks like there’s room for one more at the table today. Could that spot be reserved...for you?

    Jebus...what do you suppose happens now? (aside from the discusting lawsuit).

    The baby has been on life-support for a month with no signs of coherence...Do they pull the plug? Would there be a huge fuss over that decision? Who's in charge? This is the saddest dilema i've ever heard about.

  20. Slowcoaster or JSB??

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    I used to be big into JSB...then I got upset because the setlist started to get very repetitive and old. Then they started to write new songs that would make only one or two appearances because they weren't really good. Then I really stopped caring for the band.

    Now I see them from time to time and they have a brand new repertoire which is not bad...but I find myself hankering for the original old songs (up in arms, astronauts, night in the life of fly jimmy swift)

    IMO Slowcoaster has had a steady track record, so I like them as much as i always have.

    Not to beat the GTB horse, but the same can be applied to them. Dancey/Jammy turned indie rock, though I really still appreciate old GTB. so good.
