I dunno if it's just me not knowing how to use the features, but I've never been able to quote a post in an edit. Like if I've just posted something and realize I forgot to quote someone, I can't add their quote to the post in edit mode. If I select the quote it always starts a new post box instead of the one I'm editing. Happens with MultiQuote too. Is there a workaround for this that I'm just not aware of or is it something that needs fixin?

And yes I for one am eager to hear the full 17 minute version of this track

From interviews and AAA etc we now know that everything we hear from them is usually already a couple years old by the time it's released innit? Between that and the fact they've invested years into building the System (and surely we've only heard a fraction of what it's capable of, or even of what they've made with it so far) I see no reason to suspect they would stop now. Unless the pandemic got them down? I know the past 2 years have made plenty of us question why bother going on with anything. But they're not melodramatic types, and the work they do is plenty well suited for lockdown lifestyle, so actually I would imagine they probably had more time than ever to work on stuff. Not sure where they're at with family life and stuff cause I guess that can get in the way too. But if nothing else we know the live set exists and is surely going to be magnificent. Archival jam recordings, new live set, new tracks developed over this last couple of years... But yeah I think the only reason people wonder "will they quit?" is because you can ask that about any artist at any time... there's no indication I can see that they would tho. And even if they do, there's a ton of unheard stuff we would hopefully get to hear. Or they can just turn on the System and leave it running and let it play forever. They're not the types to look at what they've done and say, "Well, we probably can't top that". SIGN has this grandiosity that might have people thinking that way, but I doubt Ron & Steve see it like that, because they're always looking ahead and always creating.

Wanna hear the new live set plyz

Just a lil bump to see if a fix for this has emerged

Zoomers are just worse millennials

Or maybe "Chri$tian" was intentional?

K I remember it was bugging me a little when I posted this because I knew it seemed a bit off from the version I had heard originally, but couldn't find it anywhere, and all the versions of it online were more or less like this one. But I just found the original one I'd seen in a book. For what it's worth (you decide which is better) -- Wash Day They that wash on Monday Have all the week to dry; They that wash on Tuesday They have pretty nigh; They that wash on Wednesday Have half the week past; They that wash on Thursday Are very near the last; They that wash on Friday Wash for need; They that wash on Saturday Are sluts indeed. (TRADITIONAL)

Gotta jump in and say @purlieu you're doing incredible work here, this is very impressive indeed. I think somewhere in a corner of my mind I knew this video existed, but hadn't actually seen it until now. Charmingly dated but impressive as hell for its time. And it was cool to revisit Lifeforms the album - which was as influential to me as it sounds like it was for you - with all this new info and insight. I actually did a bit of a listen-along. On a personal note, FSOL were one of the first acts I got into in my journey into the electronic music world as a kid (arguably THE first, if you don't count gateway artists like Bjork and Portishead, lol but I digress), and sometimes I forget how massively influential they really were/are. I was a kid in a coastal town exploring rocky beaches and tidal pools listening to Lifeforms all those years ago. I'd go way out and find all sorts of wild stuff. Spent most of my teens that way, listening to all kinds of electronic music, but it began with FSOL - first I had the PNG remixes on a tape someone gave me, then Dead Cities shortly after, Cascade EP and then Lifeforms, and around that point was when we moved to that town and the intertidal studies began... For what it's worth, you talk of savannah imagery in Lifeforms a lot but for me it's the pulsing and writhing collective life form that is a rocky beach at low tide. Anyway, keep up the good work, it is not going unnoticed!

You've amazingly summed up more or less my exact opinion of REM lol. Monster is a classic album imo, almost perfect (skip a couple), definitely their peak. New Adventures bizarrely has about 4 really, really good songs and is otherwise a total bore. Then I remember listening to to Up a lot around the time it was new but would probably cringe hearing most of those tunes now. I also have a copy of Automatic for the People which came before Monster and is about half okay. I don't have any issue with the band personally but just find a lot of their music is really dull. They did a ton of stuff in the 80s, influenced a ton of the great bands of the 90s, but none of it has ever grabbed me at all (too young probably)

Fall is back and so is SIGN! Gimme dat orange ??? Subjective Fall associations were strong with this one, lots of early listening done on very rainy days/nights or out in the colourful outdoors. Mostly left the album alone since then, needed to give it time, typical Ae digestion patterns. Ready to chew it some more. Had quite a nice time listening to si00 the other night in a rainstorm sitting down by the ocean on a little dock/lookout type thing, tiny lights on the horizon flickering in the wind and rain.

lol actually I kinda like "Album" as an Ae album title. This is pretty much exactly what the Nothing records version looks like. But I'm seeing "autechre" in translucent near the top, a sticker I guess? Mine didn't have that (as far as I can remember anyway) - bought in canada late 1999

LP5 was my second ae album and was my gateway. I never had a copy with the black case tho, just a regular CD case with white inner sleeve that just has the track titles written down the side. It's the Nothing Records version I guess, so eh thanks again Trent, from my 13 year old self. There's a small part of me that would like a copy with the black case but I haven't bought a CD in years so meh.
