kim jong il is far too crazy to understand the very sane concept of mutual assured destruction

i'm personally more scared of Pakistan or Israel having nukes than North Korea

idiots with nuclear weapons is nothing new, they are just joining now the league of other idiots who have nukes i also find it funny that LAST time Korea did a nuclear test the news story was totally brushed under the rug because it was during an insanely propagandistic hyping of the Iran nuclear program.

are you still digging lying on the floor? will have to check out Ambulance, i like stuff that sonds like LP5 ala Arovane

one slightly off putting thing about Norm recently is he frequently appears on the Oreily factor and the Dennis Miller show but the latter is sometimes pretty funny if you can escape from the Dennis Miller comedy

this is fucking hilarious - http://www.4shared.com/get/34675324/4f8076..._vs_Kattan.html especially if you never thought Chris Kattan had any iota of funny in him

oh my lol, some of his best moments i think are him loaded on this show not to mention how hilariously unprofessional the Tom green internet show is with all the skype fuckups and dropouts

record that shit!

lol i remember that http://www.fakenews.net/ edit : file archive of Norm this guy is hosting a shit load of large video files of norm macdonald, seems like a pretty dedicated fan i was actually trying to find his newest show on Superdeluxe.com which is basically a CGI cartoon of himself reading fake news headlines ala weekend update. Its honestly not that funny, for me his physical mannerisms is like 50% of his humor so it doesn't really work.

same here! its a shame that you cant really get older SNL sketch videos online. What the fuck is their problem? If they charged like $.50 for each old SNL sketch i'd have spent $200 by now. They try their damnedest to pull them all down from youtube i can't even find the gum sketch, which is honestly one of the greatest Norm Macdonald performances of all time.

hey! fuck you penis breath

norm roasting bob sagat (unaired outtakes)

norm breaks toilet

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE find the SNL Sketch he did where he impersonated David Letterman constantly repeating the phrase 'you want some gum' it was pure gold. definitely in my top 5 comedians his roast of Bob Sagat was phenomenal 'you got a lot of well wishers here tonight' 'and by that i mean they want to throw you down a well' 'now i know that sounds a little harsh but they want to murder you in a well' 'at least that's what it says here on this card' some of his best stuff is when he gets filthy drunk on the internet Tom Green show which if you do a youtube search there seems to be like 10 episodes of this

you either like it or you dont, but the point still remains that an awful lot of AE fans who aren't accustomed to this style of minimalist music will try MUCH harder to force themselves to like it than they would a random artist. Not necessarily a bad effect, if Autechre can cause someone to appreciate minimalist ambient for the first time in their lives i think thats honestly a good thing.

yeah and i've emailed the guy probably 5 times never getting a single response. it makes me wonder if the program itself is a hoax at worst or unfinished and very very difficult to use and requires a shit load of manual intervention at best, i mean the concept seems relatively straight forward and is technically possible with computers today, but he has not once given his software for others to try or shown the source to anyone as far as i know. very frustrating!

I totally had the opposite idea! You know how you can open any file format like a raw wave file in Audacity, was thinking it would be sweet to like put a flanger on a jpeg and then open it back up as an image, never figured out how to get the file working afterwards though. I wonder if there are any image editors that will let you open a music file like raw data. all the versions of photoshop i've used let you open raw data, the problem is that it's degrades the sound quality in some way when you open it up as a normal image. there is actually a blog online i saw a couple months ago all about one man's experiments with editing sounds in photoshop and vice versa and im sure you can do it the other way around. I've never tried it myself. I've always wanted to have a sound printed out on really high quality paper using photoshop, then manipulate that paper either by crumpling it or burning /wetting parts of it so it smears then rescanning it into the computer at the exact same dimensions to see what it would sound like. I've always been too lazy to try though but seriously if anyone knows a method to 'match' up similar spectral analysis of tons of sounds like in that scrambled hackz video i will suck your dick for life

just got into this program myself, its great for FFt messing around. anybody here ever mess with FFt in max/msp ? Some french dude i forgot his name made a bunch of Jitter patches designed to read the audio of a wave form then convert its FFT/spectral print to a video or still image. Then you can manipulate this still image with video effects like blur, distort, pixelate. Its pretty awesome, its probably the most interesting way to manipulate FFT's visually besides Metasynth and Spear i regularly check probably twice a month to see if the dudes who made Scambledhackz have released their source code yet. Unfortunately i dont think they have but if they did this would open up huge possibilities for music making. If you subtract the video element from this technique and just imagined what loading up a bunch of sounds and creating a spectral/fft database of each one and creating an algorithm to 'match' them up with the most mathematically similar sound would be freaking amazing. does anybody know if something similar to this FFT database compiler exists for use? it makes me wonder if this dude just made this for a hobby or if he's looking for buyers of this code. It's been over 4 years since he did this and i haven't seen this concept commercialized yet. I could see a ton of practical and professional uses for this technique

Albums: Jazz From Hell The Yellow Shark These are his last few works, which are for Synclavier and Orchestra, respectively. Also, get the album 'Roxy and Elsewhere' because it contains three of Zappa's most incredible instrumental pieces; 'Echidna's Arf of You', 'Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?', and, of course, 'The Bebop Tango (Of the Old Jazzmen's Church)'. (God, I am such a sucker for that track.) thank you i had jazz from hell years ago but lost my copy, and i've been meaning to check out his rock instrumentals

can someone recommend to me a list of instrumental albums or songs by Zappa? ou have chosen to ign

would be neat to hear some bootleg live recordings of that tour you saw them on, I figure thats the only one they ever did

oh nice, i had no idea he was in a metal band, will check out, which album(s) should i grab?

I need to poop in and say that if you are curious what Les Claypool's pre Primus band 'Blind Illusion' sounds like don't get your hopes up that high before checking it out
