  1. How are Ween live?

    saw them back in 95 in torona... was only a fan of Pure Guava at the time and expected some sort of japanese techno/grunge band in plastic outfits

    Booche is the correct, definately just the ticket for some fine sloppy good times

    can't make the Ween show tonight sadly, but am catching Slow Hand Motem at PJC... they possess the greatest band bio I've ever read

    and I've read a lot of band bios lemme tell ya

    Slow Hand Motëm

    The impact of slim, dark haired, young Motëm upon his record audience, as his synthesizers alternately roar and whisper, is a new dimension in recorded musical entertainment.

    Many of you have had the exhilarating experience of hearing Motëm in person at one of his many appearances in important night spots and concert halls. From personal observation you know that Motëm could be a glamour boy musical personality. He has the physical qualities. He could sway audiences, no doubt, by simply turning on more "personality" and get away with much less musical talent. But Motëm isn't interested in "flirting" with his audience. He prefers to speak directly, in musical terms that contain no guile. Only beauty, subtlety, lyricism, precision, extraordinary nuance and a quality of controlled passion are his words and "personality".

    The unique complexities and rhythmic designs of his arrangements and creations merit the attention of musical pedagogues.

    But unless you are cursed with a tin ear, you, too, will respond to the sensuous beauty and the diamond-hard luster of Motëm's music.

    With Motëm are his friends and fellow musicians; Gallant Santilope, percussionist; and Acoustic Fin, bass. Together they generate the power of a 4-peice band.

    But it's the magical power of music, not din, nor the glamour boy potential of Motëm, that holds the listener's attention everywhere.

    Just wonderin'.

    were fantastic only time I've seen em... is a grand spectacle, lots of fun... likely Frank Black's inspiration... not a comedy act though... any musical genre is game at a live Ween show

    their live DVD is definately worth picking up

    over on the indie boards people are saying Soulseek is the way to go if you get music download withdrawl... software thats much like Napster, slower than torrents but lots of selection to choose from (never used it myself, just passing it along)

    guess Indietorrents pulled the plug themselves, homepage says "Home of the Independent (picture of rainclowd). What the fuck is a Torrent anyways?"

    on Oink mostly scored things I'd previously bought or things I was curious about and wouldn't have shelled out cash for (but might buy in the future, though some others am very glad I didn't throw away my money on)

    [ifpi] my burned cd collection is 99% plus free to trade live shows ok'd by the artist [/ifpi]

    no guilt, if anything not being able to sample music as freely as I could would say I'll likely spend less purchasing store bought CDs in the future

    if they go after everyone who used the tracker they'd be looking at hundreds of thousands of court cases... taking until about a couple of hundred years to prosecute

    more likely looking for people who acquired things free then packaged and sold them for profit through a website... or the top hundred uploaders or something like that

    they way I see the world it'll simply be a kiss and tell type investigation, stories that end up in the tabloids (netting the tabloids mega-thousands)... "and notable Wall Street executive, Billy Big Bucks, was found to have downloaded the entire Shania Twain collection along with The Bee Gee's greatest hits and Martha Stewart's Cooking with the Stars. Mr. Big Bucks attorneys denied comment upon these allegations."

    I worked for a charity out west that I thought was a good cause, until I did some math one day after noticing the sketchy show up for 5 minutes a day general manager was driving a new Jaguar and wearing $600 sun glasses

    we would ask for funds to print and deliver coloring/activity books to kids in local hospitals... sounds great... only problem, any given day each of the 30 people manning the phones would bring in a minimum of hundreds to a max of several thousand dollars in donations (bonuses for $10,000 received by a phone person weren't unheard of)... average printing cost on super cheap paper for a coloring/activity book was roughly 30 cents...

    so where were they finding these millions of children requiring coloring/activity books while stuck in the hospital? am sure there were other costs involved but regardless am pretty positive that after their first week in business every hospitalized kid on the lower mainland should've been swimming in coloring books (they'd been operating for 3 years)

    buyer beware
