    It's an old cliché, but in most cases it's PEBKAC ;)

    Also: use Linux to not only be safe..r, but also to support open source and free software

    (and not to be depended on single monopolistic corporations)

    Slashing It Down ~ Flies On You (2012)

    Delilah ~ The Dresden Dolls (2006)

    Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space ~ Spiritualized (1997)

    How has that song not made it yet? :shocked:

    Fun Fact: The title of the song (and album) are a quote from Sophie's World

    "Only philosophers embark on this perilous expedition to the outermost reaches of language and existence. Some of them fall off, but others cling on desperately and yell at the people nestling deep in the snug softness, stuffing themselves with delicious food and drink. 'Ladies and Gentlemen,' they yell, 'we are floating in space!' But none of the people down there care."

  4. What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Daniel Bukvich's "Symphony No. 1 (In Memoriam Dresden)" performed by the 2012 PMEA Region III Concert Band.

    It is a very interesting piece; probably the most original I have ever played. It tells the story of the fire bombing of Dresden. During the piece, we had to speak in German and other instruments had to do other effects. The fourth movement ent is the firestorm itself and various instruments had to perform different tasks. The low brass played a dissonant chord to sound like the bombers, while others whistled and screamed as the movement went on.

    Is that this one?

    That sounds almost... disturbing, I have to say :P but I guess that's what it's intended to be.

    It's actually a user-specific setting, even though I admit I don't remember which option is used as default for it.

    You can go to My Fusion > Control Panel > Display Settings and there chose for yourself whether or not you want to "Display Online Details"

    I actually really like the video. The whole concept of "guy keeps stoically doing his thing while completely ignoring everything around him" reminds me of one of my favourite music videos of all: Rabbit in Your Headlights by UNKLE (directed by Jonathan Glazer)

    compliments to the whole film crew, it's a really good quality :thumbsup:

    also the umbrella's awesome :D

    Torturing James Hetfield

    Well, we got James Hetfield

    And we tied him up tight

    Naked and cold

    We kept the strip lights bright

    Said what have you got for us James

    He said nothing at all

    So we dragged some speakers

    In from the hall

    James James James

    Just give us names names names

    James James James

    Well, we tried every tune in the songbook

    To loosen his tongue

    We played Simply Red nonstop

    He just swayed along

    Then we had an idea

    A new plan of attack

    Thought that even a deaf man

    Would bend and crack

    James James James

    Just give us names names names

    James James James

    Now look what we've brought for you James

    Your favorite disc

    It's Chumbawamba

    Their greatest hits (There's only one)

    Turned up the volume

    You should've heard him sing (Oh how he sings)

    He cried like a baby

    And told us everything (it was Lars!)

    James James James

    Just give us names names names

    James James James

    ("Torturing James Hetfield" is a response to James Hetfield's approval of the use of Metallica's music as a torture device against Iraqi prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. (Source))

    After reading your post I went there to put up some tags (are 'post-punk' and 'noise rock' appropriate in your opinion?), so that's how I noticed ;)

    btw, could you direct your collaborator to this post?

    Generally, at least until you have a decent amount of listeners, I would always recommend putting up your music as "free full-length preview"

    Also the more users are tagging the music, the better it will be too!

    So if any of you SFers have a Last.fm account - use it to scrobble and to tag!
