    Funny Rat

    I can't, I'm too busy listening too this one: from 1992, more of the same, good stuff that is. Pretty loose and admittedly a wee bit wavering at times, I find it very enjoyable and nicely enticing.
  2. Quite exactly, I might add...
  3. it's in the new releases, though it was in the reissues forum as well for a short time, as JAW posted it here just a fraction later than Peter. He must have deleted it seeing it was a replication of another thread.
  4. Obi is Japanes for a belt or sash used to tie yukata and kimonos the wrapper around LPs and later CDs was also named Obi because of its similarity
  5. If you are compressing your files, I'd opt for mp3 instead. Simply because it is more of a standard nowadays than ATRAC, which can only be played by Sony devices I believe. And you will be able to burn mp3s on a disk to play on many a stand alone player, diskman, whatever. ATRAC is said to perform better than mp3, never heard any to judge though. There are loads of easy to use mp3 encoding programmes available. I myself use CDEx, freeware that uses a LAME encoder. The latter guarantees good quality mp3s. If you encode at higher bitrates, say 256 or above, you will be more than hard pressed to hear a difference when there is living room noise around. The lossless shn format makes you lose about half of the filesize (which is not much if you want a kazillion titles in your jukebox) and is only interesting if you want to make sure quality remains at the highest level. As for the volume, just adjust the line out level to perform comparable to your other stereo components.
  6. couw can't help with flash. flash is a blank spot.

  8. let's hope the future will not bring us Web-O-Smell ® the digital olfactory communication device
  9. you'll need a good soundcard. With that, a computer can function as just another component in your stereo setup. Using the tape-out ports of your amp (or pre-amp) and getting some software like Goldwave will also allow you to record off your stereo. LPs, radio, tapes... Try shn compression (lossless) to be able to put even more music on your harddisk without losing anything in the soundquality department. Playback is with WinAmp (after you installed a patch).
  10. she obviously did more than just kiss that prince. ka-boom ching
  11. is that your fiddle she's playing?
  12. check your PM box
  13. Too real for me. especially the line "I voted for Nader, I hate everyone!"
  14. I've uploaded the next best thing for you here: a colour scan.
  15. they switched from jewel or whatever cases to plain cardboard long ago over here. probably 'cause people would buy spindles of blanks and take a pile of AOL disks for the jewel cases, using the disks as coasters or beermats. they are also great for making lamp shades.
  16. LOL! Can I use it instead? sure. copyright for the drawing resides with Francois Boucq/Casterman
  17. pretty cool album I think the info is sufficient, thanks. If anyone happens to be able to provide a nice cover scan I wouldn't say no, though...
  18. that's what I meant, sorry for the inaccuracy.
  19. this time it (the server) really was down.
  20. and manhattan (taxicab) distance too
  21. nice graph for calculating euclidian distance
  22. I wonder whether they'll use the design I submitted for the dance with death album.
  23. don't be shocked when you find some of them have nice & cosy purple chairs
  24. welcome to the club.
