Due to scheduling issues I will not be able to make this screening Summary is as follows "By the mid-eighties, Walt Disney's fabled animation studios had fallen on hard times. The staff was polarized between newcomers hungry to innovate and old-timers who wouldn't relinquish control. These conditions had produced a series of box office flops and led to pessimistic forecasts. Maybe the best days of animation were over. Maybe the public didn't care. If you expected the situation to improve, you probably believed in fairy tales. Waking Sleeping Beauty isn't a fairy tale but rather the true story of how Disney regained its magic with a staggering output of hits – Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King and more – over a ten-year period. " More can be seen here Film has gotten some really good hype, and sounds quite interesting to me. Tickets are for face, which work out to about 37 dollars.

Neat! Thanks bouche

Woop Woop!

Samoans reliant on buses are stranded by the country's switch to driving on the left, as most buses have not been modified. http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8247960.stm

I have tickets for the show on the sunday, need to trade for tickets to Saturdays show. I am quite sure sundays show will be better, as it was the original date, so you are definitely getting an amazing deal here!

I once ran in to the guy outside of The Social My buddy walked up to him and said "DUDE, aren't you Mustache Craft? I totally saw you at camp bisco" He responded "You are one of those hippies aren't you"

As per hearing a difference, I would definitely hear it if no one had mentioned it... would I have every listened to the mono if I had not read about it is another question entirely. Some songs have different different mix's, and some even have entirely different BPM's, which causes the song to have an entirely different pitch in ALL of the stereo releases. Considering the Beatles originally mastered everything in Mono, that would mean you have never heard these songs in their correct key (I am including a link to a megaupload download that includes the Stereo and Mono version of She's Leaving home so you can hear this yourself). The stereo mix's were made in a couple days rather than a couple months when they were originally released. As for the overall mix in comparing mono to stereo... if you compare an original mono release to the earlier stereo remasters it sounds entirely different in the warmth of the sound, and how far away the band sounds. If you listen to the stereo Sgt. Peppers the band sounds about 20 - 30 feet away, in the mono version they sound perhaps 5 or so. You really need to give it a listen to hear it Also I want to make it clear that I'm not necessarily pimping out the new releases, as much as I'm pimping the mono releases. The latest release happens to be the best way to get your hands on all of the mono releases on CD without going to a bootleg, bootlegs which in my opinion do not sound nearly as crisp as the latest releases. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ST2741TV

For me I enjoy hearing the music as it was originally intended... but realistically these remasters are not even that... I have some FLAC rips of original mono vinyl's, and some rare red Japanese mono vinyl's When listening to these next to the original stereo recordings you can hear a HUGE difference

It is because the original releases of the the majority of the beatles albums were originally put out in Mono. This would mean that the month's the band and producer spent perfecting the sound would have been for the Mono release. Jon was Quoted as saying if you havn't heard Sgt. Peppers in Mono you have never heard it at all. I have done some audio comparisons and I have to say that the mono recordings do sound a hell of a lot better. They have a fuller sound, and the band sounds like they are much closer. For more information check out this article http://gizmodo.com/5216258/sorry-stereo-but-beatles-in-mono-rocks-a-lot-more

Another vote for Okkervil River!

The video game is a prime example of a great new distribution method... I will gladly fork out the money for the music in this new formate... and will most likely buy all the downloadable content. Why? Because the money is going to innovative thinkers, because I'll be getting a new product. I understand that the remasters are technically a new product... but I can afford to crank out over 400 bucks after tax's for all the music, I'd rather buy a new guitar, or a new midi controller (which might I add I will be doing this week!). I understand that we live in a capitalistic society, and no one does anything for free, but I don't want to pay $180 for albums I have bought before, especially when the majority of that money I am spending is going to waste. Cost of packaging, cost of transport, cost of retail space, cost of production.... how much of this $180 is purely for the music. I am all for supporting the economy, but our methods of media distribution are archaic and need to change. If I could download the album in flac (or other lossless audio format) for $100, I would have done it in a second!

Amazing movie... Directed by Brad Bird.. same guy who did The Incredibles

WSP board please

Who's tour is this?

I have 2 different live recordings of them... one that brings it a little bit more than their recordings, and another that is a little bit more ambient. Either way they are both glitchy and fun... which is what we all want!

This amazing electronic act is playing the elmo tomorrow... I highly suggest checking it out. The former duo was met with tragedy earlier in the year with the passing of Charles Cooper, and it will be very interesting to see how the show goes considering that most assumed the group had dissolved. I'm quite excited for this show... and would really love to see some skanks out there too! http://www.myspace.com/telefontelaviv

I used a super advanced CSI like photoshop plugin to sharpen the image...

Alot of the lossy versions that were transcoded in joint stereo rather than mono. I suggest Flac

Get the mono's they are technically the original releases Read http://gizmodo.com/5216258/sorry-stereo-but-beatles-in-mono-rocks-a-lot-more

Hey all... just wanted to remind everyone that it is Beatles week up in this bitch. Coming out on wednesday will be The Beatles Stereo 2009 Remasters The Beatles Mono 2009 Remasters The Beatles: Rock Band I am exciting to love the fuck out of all of these releases... but I'm assuming that some of you (like myself) may not have 250 bucks to drop on the box set... let alone almost 500 to grab both the stereo and the mono mix's.... SOOOO if you are really really desperate to hear the new mix's a little birdie told me that you can already find them online if you check certain trackers... what? demonoid... etc... PM if you have questions

Shows happening tonight, not friday as a heads up At the rex... might go check it out with the lady after she gets off work.

There is a great dvd authoring tool including in the adobe suite... called Encore. It is really great as you can design your menu's in photoshop and import them in encore and retain your individual layers. Great workflow in my opinion.

You don't like boat shoes?

Can I have my 2 minutes back? That voice will now haunt me forever

Thank you thank you
