Does Sea of Cortez have a cd coming out soon? I really like the 2 songs Jeremiah posted and would like to hear more.
Does anyone have an idea when the J Mascis Sub Pop single club 7" is going to be shipped? Also did anyone get a 7" for the month of December?
I was wondering if someone who has all ready subscribed to the Sub Pop single of the month club can answer a question for me. I notice that the subscription page listed 6 artists (J being one of them) that you got when you subscribed to the single of the month club for the months of April 2001-Sept. Now I was wondering since it is past September do you still get those people or is it a new set of artists for the up coming months? Does anyone happen to know? Thanks

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Actually I do…I listen to certain tracks on discs more than full discs, so I jump from disc to disc listening to songs.
A smaller disc changer wouldn’t even cover all the Dinosaur Jr /J Mascis/ J Mascis & the Fog cd’s(between the regular cd’s, bootlegs, etc).
But everyone has a player that suits their personal perference. Salamiguy, you just have to decide what type player meets your cd listening needs and go with that.
I recommend going with a mega-storage changer. I have (and use) both a Sony 200 disc changer and a Sony 300 disc changer. Sony makes a 400 disc changer and a 300 disc cd/dvd changer. I like mid-level Sony players because they aren’t too expensive, and they will display the names of the cd in a output screen on the front of the player (cd-text). It will automatically display the track titles and name of the cd if they are on pressed on the disc, if they are not, the mid-level sony players let you enter the name of the discs into the player by using your remote or keyboard. You can also connect multiple (2 or 3) changers together and control them all with one remote.
Yes, like Jaron said, they are slower than a 5 disc changer but you also have to consider the fact that with a 5 disc changer it would take more time to walk over to the 5 disc changer and change out cd’s that are not currently in the 5 disc changer than if all your discs were in one or more mega-storage changers.
I recommend going with mega-storage changer.
The Broken Machine cd is just a NIN tribute cd and not the live cd unfortunately.
It’s gonna be an awesome dvd. Where did you read this? Do you know anything about a release date for it? Did you hear what the tracklist for their live cd is going to be too?

I would have to recommend that you check out Built to Spill. While I haven’t seen Modest Mouse, but have heard great things about them live, I would encourage you to go see Built to Spill. I was lucky enought to see both Built to Spill and J Mascis on the same day back in April. Built played a festival in the afternoon (and played about 1:15) then I caught a Mascis show later that night. I would have to say that Doug Martsch is at least as good a guitarist as J is. He may even be a little better. I was blown away by Built to Spill. Sorry I don’t have a first hand recommendation for Modest Mouse but I would have to say that Built to Spill is more than worth checking out.

I’m just wondering what are peoples definition of "Indie." Is it just bands that have the "indie sound", bands that are on an independent labels or a combination of both?
This is a windows media stream video talks mostly about Office XP but at the end the man describes the product ID activation deal.
Brief description of Office XP and XP OS activation
This is a good description of the XP activation deal. It says that reinstallations on same computers will PROBABLY be OK. But it still doesn’t help for those who want pirated cd’s.

I’m definately waitng to see what actually happens before I buy it though.
Oh yea, Windows XP does not support ripping of MP3’s. You have to pay for an add on to be able to rip MP3’s
Ya’ll may want to look into XP a little more before you go out and buy it. I have heard that it is the most stable Windows OS to date but, and here’s the rub, you HAVE to register it, either online or by phone, to be able to use it. No big deal right,… wrong. For someone like me who reformates their hard drive every once in a while, this would cause a problem because once a product is registered it can not be registered again. This means that if I register XP and then reformate and then tried to install XP on my hard drive after I reformate it would not work because once it is registered it will block out any further registering attempts of that same product ID number. You can call Microsoft and explain your situation and it is up to the person that you talk to to either open that product ID account or keep it locked, thus not letting you reinstall a product that you paid for. This same thing applies to the Microsoft Office XP. I got a copy of this and tried to install and register it. I got it installed and when I tried to register it and it would not take that product ID number for office and told me that I could use office so many times, 30 or 60 I can’t remember which, before it would quit running. Mind you this is not 30 or 60 days, this is time you run any part of the Office XP program, so you could , in theory, use up the alloted amount of time in one day. Pirated copys won’t work, I speak from experience. I hope this makes some amount of sense to whomever read this.
I personally am not going to upgrade to a new version of Windows until I absolutely HAVE to upgrade. If Microsoft changes this registering deal them I will buy XP but if it stays like it is I am not going to upgrade.
There is a webpage on CNN’s website that gives a better description of how the XP OS works. If I can find it I’ll post it.
GBV.COM says that Guided By Voices are going to be on Reverb on August 29th. Which is the same thing that the HBO webpage says.
I think Same Day is the most radio friendly song on the cd. I actually heard my college’s radio station play it a while back. I would have liked Ground Me to You to be released as a single. It’s probably less radio friendly that Same Day but I seems to be a little more poppier than Waistin’. Basically, while Waistin’ is a good song, it just doesn’t sound like a song that would catch your attention on the radio. I never would have figured that Waistin’ would have been released as a single. The majority of the tracks on More Light seem to me to be more radio friendly than Waistin’.
Hey mel21, check out Jeremiah’s ftp site. I uploaded the Keep the Freak Scene boot is there a while back. At least you can hear a live version that way since he doesn’t seem to play it live at any of this shows anymore.
