Everytime I see you post "i love *** !!!" in a thread i laugh out loud. It's pure comedic genius, every time.

Repost. Fuck. This site needs a search function that checks for duplicate links.

I almost turned it off cuz it sucked, but the payoff is after the first verse. Like, the best payoff ever.

If you post this, i'm pretty sure I will love it. Pointing that finger, harder :)

For me drum & Bass is a spectrum. You have the dumbest shit ever combined with the most experimental music ever.

I embrace the whole pile. The thicker, the better. :)

> We've heard all these basslines and bass sounds before in Dub [...snip...] jump-up dubstep is really starting to get on my nerves

You make some good points. History doesn't look to kindly on jumpstep (jumpup? i forget what the hell that stuff was called, classic tunes in context though. haha) in the d&b scene, for example. And there's probably a lot of Dub that would be worth getting back into, but they aren't posted as mixes here, or anywhere else I score tunes.

My entire music collection for the last 3 years is mix-sets. Oh, and people sending me their own tunes. So... someone post a DUB mix? And PM me with the link so I don't miss it?

Anyway, it just feels like history repeating itself. I liked drum & bass from start to finish (and continue to do so) but I don't know how long I can carry the Dubstep torch if it mutates into bagpipes.

Ok, first and foremost. I like the mix, I like the tunes, great job.

As I witness the evolution of Dubstep into the more squelchy and digital, cuz you know i've been listening to this shit since back in the day and you can't take a dad out of the sub and all that, n'a mean mate?

Scottish bagpipe music. Seriously.

Same "evolution" happened to jungle. A dub based mutation turned into what we now know as drum & bass.

This time around since the tempo is so slow, all I can think to myself is that the south of london sound is heading north to scotland; towards bagpipe soundscapes. Something is suspect with "neurofunking" the sound for me. I'm still into it, but I don't think I will follow this trend to the bitter end if it keeps going in this direction, i.e. what happened to drum & bass.

Vive le mercier libre. Fier d'y vivre.

I was at the SAT for Joe Nice. I know and am down with the people who organized the event. But I think you have me confused with someone else. Sorry to hear that a laptop got stolen. That's the first I heard of it. That sucks.

I lost a laptop at the SAT?

And one final troll for good measure:

* Country of Cyprus (hint, elected a communist governement in 2008)
* Gilles Duceppe 1960s (hint, was a communist, back when he got shit done)

Ideas, everything. Language, not much. Dernier post dans ce thread pour moi. Peace.

Yeah, exactly. My take, summarized (sorry, I'm incoherent, nothing new about that)

* Canada ain't so bad

* There are ways to have an independant country if you really want one. Quebec's version was interesting in the 60's. The current version is bullshit and will never happen.

* Vote what you believe. If you believe in Bloc then go for it! Not me.

And I can say with great certainty that the Moldovian's want a country much more than they want communism.

At least they are honest in finding ways of getting out of Ukrainian or Romanian assimilation.

Country of Moldova

[ en.wikipedia.org ]

A democratic country between Romania and the Ukraine that you never heard of until just now. For the last 8 years the voters have elected "Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova" to power, of their own free will.

Quebec can have a country, it's the model that's not popular.

Vive le quebec libre? Oui.

Vive le texas francophone? Non.

I vote Bloc Pot, optionally Quebec Solidaire.

I'm french canadadian and I'm very proud to not be from Quebec. Yes, we exist. So sorry while your baby boomers got educated ours were busy doing labour jobs in the north.

It all worked out though, our generation is homogenized and don't fuck with matante's pension plan!

The ever changing face of quebec separatists. Wake me up when your party goes back to the left.

I support the ideals, I despise the opportunists.

Haha, it's not London Ontario. It's the other London.

Seriously though, maybe you kids don't know who 808 STATE, KEVIN SAUNDERSON, RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE are but WTF?! How did they get those people from decades gone by to even agree to play this? ALEC EMPIRE and CONGO NATTY fall into that column too, for the hardcore.

That list is just pure insanity.

This was discussed last year on this forum ( [ www.rave.ca ] ) as the most ridicoulous party ever, once in a lifetime, insanity. Well apparently, no. MORE INSANITY?!

[ www.nfb.ca ]

Looks like a good documentary. I got my tickets and will check it tonight. I went to school with the directors and am stoked to this, hence why I care enough to post about it.

This is kind of irrelevant. The canadian dollar was worth like 50 cents for decades and we had a good ride for a few months, sorry but it's back to reality, it's fucking expensive to extract oil from the sand. Hence why it wasn't done before, hence why it's difficult to do when our dollar can't pay for the equipment to do it. Woopty fucking do. Get out of the suburbs and ride a bike.

The real problem with all of this is that banks are being rewarded for their greed and stupidity. Furthermore, they are negotiating settlements which are quite frankly, facist treason.

Now I'm all for some sort of communism that doesn't kill me or send me and my family to the gulag, but I was a bigger fan when it was a misguided Bolshevik endeavor who were trying to destroy wallstreet. At least they were killing facists and uprooting feudalism. Now it's an initiative run by corporate goons with a pedigree going all the way back to grandpa Bush and his facist buddies trying to take over america during the first depression?

This is an artist named Benifit Of The Boomergang living in the Netherlands. He's an up and comer that I keep my eye on. Up until now he's been doing a weird hybrid of breakcore with epic manga (or something). This new track is a lot more accessible. I'm feeling it and wanted to post it here to share.

Good times.

The great thing about Québec is that everyone speaks three languages.

Except if you're white.

This discussion again, 'll let you in on the same secret. There are french people all over Canada. I'm french, I was raised in Ontario (North and South, not Ottawa) I moved to montreal when i was 22 (1997) Every job I got people were like "holy shit, you'r french is good for someone who's from southern ontario!" and then i'd do my "granpapa à chasse aux perdris, en skidoo sans mes dents" impression and all my co-workers and bosses would shit themselves laughing at the fucked up "hick" accent I could pull out of my ass.

There's a french canada out there. Sure, not the dominant population. But it's there. Now, am I proud that my ancestors sold ski-doos and drove the zamboni and never went to school but could breed huge families and cook a meat pie at christmas?

Well, no. I love my family. I'm proud of my family. But fuck la culture. Tradition weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.

It's true. I worked at the golf course.

Wow, good tune, a winner. Good production, subtle reverb/atmosphere, good volume levels.

Assess the risk. Reap the reward. Is the reward one boner and a lifetime of misery, or something more?

Instinct is for lower species. One life? Sure. But, I vote stay away from drama and venereal diseases because you have something called a brain.

Instincts work if you have a few seconds to make a decision.

Instincts really fucking suck at "40 years later" though...

Not enough information... what does "not recognized mean?" does it work in one port but not the other, does it work in other computers?

Apple Icon in Upper Left -> About This Mac -> More Information will open System Profiler

Once in there, go to Hardware -> USB

Plug your usb junk in there and should give some info.

If you have the Developer tools installed (they are free, you probably have them on your install disks somewhwhere) check for /Developper/Applications/Utilities/USB Prober

You can get more (very nerdy) info from there.

I'm pretty sure this is what chicks are into:

Nice tune!

You need to beef up the final now. Not the best mastering suite nowadays, people use WAVES and Iztope Ozone now, but run the final through T-Racks if you have it.

[ www.t-racks.com ]

Start with preset -> Suite -> Regular #1 and tweak from there. I ran the MP3 through it and it got a lot tougher.
