Amphetamine Zoo - demo1 (12mb, 1min long)

this is how the album is currently going.

and yes, I chose amphet zoo, not one of the totally-new tracks. because nobody hears them until release.

it's a wav, not an mp3, because if you want to hear how the album is sounding, fuck crunchy lofi formats.

this is a wee slice of how I'm making things sound.

snobbishly, I'd say "don't listen to it in winamp". I love winamp, but it does a bunch of filtering. sad though I am to say it, windows media player sounds sharper. if you have a sample editor like Soundforge or Cooledit, they'll give you a proper playback also.

this isn't mastered, this is a mixdown from what I'm currently working on, no sizzle, no tricks.

hopefully, the idea you'll get is that if the working mix sounds like this, the album's going to kick.

'cos I think so.

genesis

So many ways to say "Here comes that cocky bastard. Let's kill him. Then who's so fucking clever? Eh?"

The bible is full of truths.

---


They said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer comes. Come now therefore, and let's kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say,'An evil animal has devoured him.' We will see what will become of his dreams."

And they said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, And evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams."

Saying to one another, "See, here comes this dreamer. Let us now put him to death and put his body into one of these holes, and we will say, An evil beast has put him to death: then we will see what becomes of his dreams."

And they said one to another, "Behold, there comes that dreamer! And now come and let us kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast has devoured him; and we will see what becomes of his dreams."

And they said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams."

And they said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer is coming. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit; and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams."

And they said one to another: "Behold, this dreamer cometh. Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say: An evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams."

And they say one unto another, "Lo, this man of the dreams cometh; and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and we see what his dreams are."

gleaned from here and here.

listening, of course, to this.

now there's a thing

Why would there be no free eBook version of the bible available?

And here's me, stuck for something to read, actually wanting to read the Good Book again.

Just as well I have the King James on eBook.

Search for "Bible free" (my first term included "eBook"), and, advertised by google, you find:

I'm not saying that the people running this site even are christians.

If they are, or claim to be, they stand a fucking wild mark away from the christianity I was brought up with.

But if you want to know one of the reasons I'm cynical about organised religion in the modern world, here's a free starter.

I am, quite literally, off to read the bible.

Though I'm now more in the mood for Revelations than Genesis.

sweet mother of what the fuck

Did you know that the collective noun for the octopuse is "a bitchslap"?

tiscali no longer unlimited access

I'm torn, in hearing about Tiscali imposing a limit on their previously unlimited service.

On one hand, boooo, we wants our bandwidth (well, I don't use 'em, so hey...) on the other, they seem to be setting semi-reasonable limits and at least they're putting their hands up and saying, publicly that they will no longer describe the service as unlimited, because it's not going to be. As opposed to the various services that sneak that tidbit of information into the microdot print.

Ah, the see-saw of competition... We want to expand our market share! We offer something that, if taken up slightly beyond our expectations, could ruin us! Suprise, demand is greater than anticipated! We take it away again! Hoorah!

Six months later, the cycle repeats.

Bushisms / despoiling the language

"We want to commoditise email," was the comment from research VP David Wood, when he unveiled OS 9 last week.

... said a man who clearly hasn't built a fucking dictionary into any of his platforms' products.

I expect you'll want to leveragulate your core-trinsic aptibilitudes, too.

Is it mandatory that the higher you are in a given organisation, the more fucking thick you must be?

Sorry, I appear to be stating the fucking obvious.

And you! You're a fucking prick and "Shane" sucks cock! You're not even consistent in your spelling of this new word you're attempting to shit into the language!

You will all fucking suffer, mark my words.
