The picture on the opening page is on a stretch of highway 127 in Kentucky. The exact location is called Hall's Gap and it's a big geological step up from the Bluegrass region into the hills. The light was amazing. It was the first snow of the year and the sun was setting. Don't know if you can tell but it's looking up a very steep hill and going about 60mph. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________

That is funny as hell. Can't wait to hear the Steve Reich's melody part. --- "Alan Evil" <alanevil(a)bellsouth.net> wrote: I can't believe I'm forcing myself to finish this thing because it may very well be the goofiest recording I've ever done. I'm recording an acappella version of Little Fluffy Clouds just for shits and giggles. I'm still a few tracks away from recording all the parts and I just poked around mixing what I've got so right now it's a long way from finished. Thought you lot might want a taste, though. I'm warning you, it's phenomenally stupid.

Attn Gavin: Email

Gavin, If you email me, use the lists.frickster.net account. My main account, which goes through a different mail server, has been getting so many f'ing spams lately that the server admin has blocked almost everything in the email. I don't think I've gotten one email on my main acount in over a week... Cuts down on the spam, but doesn't help if you've got a hotmail/yahoo account. -=brian=-

Anyone else get the new MBM DVD yet? Watched most of it last night. The video is nothing special but it is great to get to listen to them in 5.1 I am 39 by the way, although I know we went through the age thing a few months ago on the list. I'll plan on meeting up at Coachella also. John Wintemute

I keep staring at my roomful of stuff and thinking I need to just sell it all and get a laptop. But with a laptop you can't have four or five friends all playing a different toy at once. So then I think I ought to sell all my synthesizers (anybody need an SP-808?) and buy more acoustic instruments like drums (I may buy a set of those anyway) but then I'd miss all the cool noises I can make with my electronic toys. It's a curse, I tell you. A curse! BTW, I'm 38 and I probably feel less old than I did when I was 28. Unfortunately I now live in a city that is nothing but old people. Even the young people act old. They sit, quietly and gossip viciously. They get really dressed up to go to any bar or on any kind of "date." They think Crackerbarrel is good food. They don't dance. Somebody please get me out of here! ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________

I've heard it argued by some that if you have really good D/A-A/D converters that you should pass the 24/96 signal through a pair of them to downsample. I'm guessing if you had some top of the line units (Focusrite or Manley or Apogee or something with a supernice signal path) the signal's time spent as an analogue waveform in between the two sample rates would be time well spent. But then again it seems there should be sufficient conversion programs so the signal would never have to leave the digital realm and the 16bit version would sound as good as possible. What is dithering anyway? ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________

Why is it they only love you when you're 17 and when you're 21 you're no fun? They take a polaroid and let go, then they say "Hey, we'll let you know." That inflames all my rashes simultaneously. damn these heart pills really dry my mouth out!! i'm 26 and soon the hot flashes...
