So what about single songs that are split into parts on multiple tracks? Shine On You Crazy Diamond is over 21 minutes if you stick the two tracks together (parts I-V and parts VI-IX).

Sorry if I put words in your mouth, but I'm still confused as to what you mean.

hah.. no doubt!

it's a shame that plane didn't go down over some parts of africa.

then again, what can they do with it? toilet paper?

This is a fucked up statement. Are you suggesting that Africans have no use for money other than to wipe their asses with it?

I play that one sometimes.

Dm C

There's a voice that keeps on calling me

Dm C

Down the road. That's where I'll always be

F Dm

Oh, every stop I make, I make a new friend

Bb C F

Can't stay for long. Just turn around, and I'm gone again

Dm Bb F Am7 Dm

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down

Gm Bb F

Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on

F Dm Bb C F

So, if you want to join me for awhile, just grab your hat, and we'll travel light. That's hobo style

Dm Bb F Am7 Dm

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down

Gm Bb F

Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on

Yeah, I say we go a step further and string up Newton and Copernicus along with Darwin -- that'll end terrorism.

You can alternately download daemontools if you want to play the video without burning it.

Flipping some asshole the bird always makes me feel better.

That's fucking hilarious.

It would make a good poll for this site.

That article is worlds better, thanks Hal.

The Deadly Snakes - Porcella

I just got turned onto these guys -- really dig this album.

The Clap

(Your name here) and the Hurtful Barbs

I think the Achievers is better than your other two notions.

We want fish. Beautiful.

In Moncton every year everybody brought their xmas trees to Centennial Park and the fire department burnt them while we all drank and hung around. I always thought it was cool, and I was surprised to find that every town doesn't do it.

That used to happen in Antigonish too. They switched to wood-chipping due to concerns about the carbon output of burning them all, plus the safety concerns.

I've just been listening to Jackfruit - Check Ca and Jean Leclerc - Mexico, good stuff.

The ten best albums I got this year:

Grinderman - self-titled (2007 advance)

Tom Waits - Orphans

Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood

The Roots - Game Theory

Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped

Ali Farka Toure - Savane

Cat Power - The Greatest

Neil Young - Living with War

Peeping Tom - self-titled

Voivod - Kators

In my neck of the woods there is a charity event that offers free wood-chipping so Xmas trees end up as gerbil litter.

I'd like to see Canada have a serious and comprehensive discussion about what we plan to do about climate change. I'd also like to see a frank evaluation of how our "free" trade agreements have impacted Canada and our trading partners; one that includes social and environmental analysis in addition to economics.

I use Avast too. In the P2P shield options you can choose which programs get scanned. I turn it off for utorrent, but leave it on for limewire as it sometimes picks up infected files.

do dentists pay the artists whose cheesy art is on the wall every time someone looks at it?

what about the florist who brings flowers to a wedding? does she get paid by every guest who enjoys the flowers?

i have a nice table and chairs. i'm not going to pay the furniture-maker every time I sit down.

are these analogies accurate? does it seem logical?

I'm not sure those analogies apply. Patent and copyright restrictions depend on the end use of a product. You don't pay to display flowers that you buy because that is the use that is assumed when you buy them. If you collect seeds from those flowers, multiply them and sell them, you'll find yourself in legal trouble. A seed company producing flower seeds pays the patent holder a fee over and above the cost of the seeds if they intend to produce seeds of a patented cultivar and sell them. Likewise music. I think SOCAN would argue that CDs are sold for private use and that public use requires additional payment. I don't see a problem with defining the use of music as public or private and charging a different amount for each use. Think of DVDs. A DVD costs you a few bucks because it is assumed you'll view it privately. Video stores on the other hand pay a lot more for each DVD they buy as they are paying for permission to rent the videos which is a public use.
