^But when are you going to sing? :p

But there's two distinct vowel sounds in an east coast about. Very fast and smooshed together, yes, but they're both there ab-ow-oo-t. Aboot is just one flat vowel sound. Listen again. They're different.

Thanks, guys! :nice:

Because I didn't say "eh" last time. http://www.zshare.net/audio/504215835ab8e455/

:laugh3: That can be arranged. I do say eh a fair bit, just not all the time.

Ok, here's my voice: http://www.zshare.net/audio/50420955d5bdeded/ I messed up the beggining and was going to cut it off, but I'm too lazy. :P It really doesn't sound like my voice though. Isn't it weird how that works? I hear a recording of myself and it's always lower and more cartoonish...

Ok I've got a bit of random rambling recorded... now to get it up here. And wow that doesn't sound like my voice at all to me now that I'm listening to it back. :confused::laugh3: Pretty please? :D

Yep. I really ought to record one of these...

Popcorn doesn't usually have time to get old at my house- we go through a lot of it. Any old stuff around here is about 98% unpopped kernels. *tosses a handful in Ari's direction and runs*

Well my computer has handy little card readers for SD cards built right into it. If yours doesn't maybe you need to get a card reader? Or maybe if you have something like a digital camera that plugs into the computer you can put the card in the camera and dump files on it that way? Just guesses, but you need something that will interface between the card and the computer.

Now I'm hungry for popcorn. *throws some old stuff at Dave* :P *Goes to make some new stuff*

Yes they do- each album gets so many points per list depending on rank. Painful to do, I know, especially if you can't decide between things, but it's the easiest way to make a coherent final ranking.

So I've seen it- basically it was just a retrospective of their career told in interview soundbites and videoclips with a cheesy voiceover. Nothing new at all. Well, there was footage from an interview in the Bakery that I'd never seen before, but they didn't say anything new there either. In fact I thought it was from The Hour interview for a minute before I realized it was just the band answering standard questions in standard ways. The one thing that amused me is that the voiceover was soooo serious and all the clips were so funny- it was like a Chris's greatest jokes montage in places and yet the guy couldn't even acknowledge it in the slightest. You know how mtv type shows like to have a voiceover say something, and then an interview clip of the artist saying the same thing, except since Chris likes to be so silly with his answers sometimes it sounded like he was mocking the guy by repeating all the statements as a joke. :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

Eee! I just got my PM :dance: I'll write about it tomorrow if I can. :D

^indeed... it takes way more than one year to make one of these movies, and they're been coming out at regular intervals since the 60s so it would have "lost it's specialness" a long time ago if it was going to at all. It's the longest running movie series in history. Maybe it seems otherwise if you're young enough to only have become aware of them recently especially where the lag between Die Another Day and Casino Royale was unusually long, but Bond movies usually come out every 2 or 3 years or so. Edit: actually, looking it up they've generally been every 2 years like clockwork with a couple of pauses, mainly after Timothy Dalton killed it for a while: 62, 63, 64, 65, 67, 69, 71, 73, 74, 77, 79, 81, 83, 85, 87, 89,.....95, 97, 99, 02, ...06, 08.

Quantum means time. I think it's Latin. Solace is another word for peace or rest. So a time of rest? Guess it's meant to be ironic.

"The Planets Bend Between Us" for song of the year. :heart: So so soooo good. :nice:

Yeah, female hysteria was a "real" condition once- one of those phantom illnesses doctors and midwives made a fortune "treating". From what I understand of it, by the late Victorian era it had become a catch-all for everything- anything that a woman did, said, or thought about anything that a man didn't like was merely another symptom of her "condition". This was from the same school of thought that said the best treatment for postnatal depression was to force the woman to "rest" for as much as several months. Rest meaning not allowed out of bed, not allowed to move a muscle or even roll over, not allowed to have visitors or books or music, any kind of sound, not allowed to read or write, and especially not allowed to see the baby, since any one of those things would "exhaust" her. Basically just stare at the ceiling for months on end. Aren't you all glad modern medicine has come so far since then?

Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: Daniel Craig. Best. Bond. Ever. :dead: :dead:

Me! :P *throws* :lol:

:sick: Read about this this morning. Awful. Apparently Jennifer's dad died years ago too. :( I couldn't even imagine. So don't care and shut up. *blocks*

:laugh3: ditto here... though I'm desperately trying to stop... it's not healthy- messes with your head. Yeah, she's a Canadian gossip monger who works for ETalk- Canada's answer to Entertainment Tonight and all of those shows. She's very, very catty, but she's also good at blowing crap tabloid rumors out of the water (the reason I started reading in the first place) and calling things long before they happen. To be fair, although she does have a very warped view of Gwyneth and thinks of her as her imaginary best friend because Gwyn is supposedly a "snotty bitch" just like she is by her own admission, the reason she repeats rumors like that is because they're just rumors and it's her job. In her words "Needless to say, it’s still just speculation." Speculation by a bunch of gossipy people she just met in London who probably never liked having one of their stars marrying an American actress in the first place. It is after all the very reason that crowd bashes Coldplay in the first place.

So I'm not sure where this would belong, but I was looking through the event listings of a local paper a few weeks ago, and found something amusing: Don't know much of anything about them (though I'm looking), but of all the names to be stuck with if you're a musician... :laugh3::\ Hmm... sounds like they mainly do rockabilly sort of stuff going by their CBC Radio 3 profile. Aww- I found their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/chrismartinandthetroubleshooters where they had posted this message: That's kind of sad. :(

Sounds fair enough. The one reason I would say otherwise is that some bands' first releases are EPs that are really more like short proper albums worthy of recognition. A good example would be Sam Roberts' first EP "The Inhuman Condition"- it's the bestselling EP in Canadian history with 3 or 4 major national radio hits on it. It was so big and so good that a lot of people (myself included) were a bit confused or shocked when they released their "Debut Album" 'We Were Born in a Flame' a while later since it was just assumed that the EP was an album. Coldplay's The Blue Room is another example- I've met people who bought it when it first came out and who think of it as their only good album (looong story there) Schoolwork avalanche is finally over now. Official kickoff and rules writeup this weekend/week.
