I always marvel at the idea that there is a place where radio is good enough to warrant a decent antenna. Everywhere I've lived (except for one station, WTUL, in New Orleans) there is no need to worry about fidelity because the only station on the radio worth hearing is talk radio. Radio in the United States is, for the most part, a vast wasteland so empty of any redeeming qualities all licenses should be taken by force from their owners and handed over to private citizens. Unfortunately if our government took over the stations it would be nothing but hymns and preachers 24/7. The Brits may be up in arms about "non-dancing" rules for their pubs but there are large areas of this country where you can't legally POSESS alcohol, much less buy it in a bar. Sorry, getting steeled up for Shrub's "State of the Division" address. www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

Received my new Orb 12" from Kompakt today. I knew something was up when I started counting the cost of all the stamps. 12.400 euro's. Over $12, and I thought UK postage was high. Total cost for one 12" over $22. There's got to be a better way. fvll

RE: [Orb] New Radio in LA
by Don Gagen 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

They've had the station 106.7 here in Dallas since late in the summer. It's the only long term dance music station we've ever had to my knowledge. They only play what I would call "mainstream" dance music. It's kind of funny that their target audience is 18-to-34-year-old Latinos who prefer English-language music. Most of the people listening to KDL that I know have no Latin background. I really hate these franchise style stations. They are the reason why US radio has no variety. At least KDL is not the typical MTV/Top 40 play-list I here over and over. FYI, I have been listening since August and there has been no Orb or System 7. :( Don "There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality."

Their going under the call letters KDL and sounds like its on automated for the time being. "We're playing 10,000 songs in a row" or something like that. Over the weekend they were announcing that that former station has gone to another home on the dial. Not sure where this will lead to, but maybe an outlet where we can hear some Orb, System 7, Thrash, to name a few. *fingers crossed*

Its alive
by Joe Topjian 28 Jan '03

Well, a working version of the orb gigography is up. :) It seems to be working for me.. I've used it on both Mozilla and IE for the Mac and dabbled with it on IE for windows. I would recomment using a newer browser because of the stylesheet support. The php and mysql code seem stable. So basically, everyone can try it out now :) The address is http://orbus.terrarum.net. The sites not done, mind you, but it is working. The next main feature I want to add is to be able to edit a show thats already on the page.. incase of typos and stuff and to go back and add notes. Also the ability to add a new artist (you can add and organize shows based on either the orb or alex.. theres a link to add a new artist, but it doesnt work yet). And to be able to upload a picture / icon of yourself for some odd reason. So go ahead and try it out. If you have some info to add, by all means go for it :) If you see something you dont like, tell me what you'd like to see instead. If you see something broke, let me know. And the people who offered to do some images / layouts go right on ahead and we'll see what we can work in. This site is not 800x600 friendly. I tried to make it, but I'm also against 800x600 compatible sites in a way.. I mean.. why would anyone run their resolution at 800x600 on a modern computer? :P If it bugs a lot of people who will be using the page, I will work on fixing it, though :) Thanks --- Joe Topjian email: joe(a)portsys.net web: http://terrarum.net/joe

Re: [Orb] "Back to Mine" first opinion
by Ben May 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

Come to think of, I have yet to hear a "back to mine" compilation that was worthwhile owning. The tenaglia one was weak, the Fila Brazilia one was boring, the Groove Armada one wasn't great... I think the problem is that they tend to try and bring together too many disparate elements. Sort of a "Here's a cathartic output of all of the stuff I listened to from high school on" kind of list. I haven't heard the orbital one but personally I have just not been terribly impressed by these comps at all. >I agree.. I was disappointed. >Although I liked the smiths remix (i dont care for the original at all) and >the new orb track, the rest of the CD was a disappointment. especially >considering the other stuff alex has played in mixes beforehand. > >atleast it wasnt as bad as orbitals back to mine.. > >--- >Joe Topjian >email: joe(a)portsys.net >web: http://terrarum.net/joe > > >_______________________________________________ >Orb mailing list >Orb(a)mailman.xmission.com >http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
