i thought you were going out tonight?

 

[Alisaura]

I wonder when we're going off daylight savings here ...

April 6, for some reason. I'm sure it used to be late March... but I think they're trying to get all the states on the same schedule.

 

[Varitek]

but time hasn't changed yet. it goes from 1:59 to 3am i think.

 

[Axver]

ooh tell me.

I'm thinking along the lines of stuff on Frenzy. Will have to listen to the two back-to-back to get the best idea though.

the whole world extended it because it apparently saves energy

yeah he should call in a minute. it's a late drinks thing, he was at a movie. i think. we might not do it cause i have to be at something at 10am and dst and all.

 

[redhotswami]

OH MY GOD THEY LOOK LIKE FETUSES!

 

[coolian2]

Thank you daylight saving, yankee style.

My interference clock is FUCKING FINALLY right

ahh i see. i don't get really technical with music stuff, i just say "oh this sounds better" even when comparing the original record vs. cd version vs. remaster.

i will say though i think all cd versions of time and tide sound like crap, although i think that has more to do with equalisation or something rather than breathing. i dunno. if i'm not lazy, i pull out the record and play it if i wanna listen.

 

[coolian2]

What a wank.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

anyway, i think i'm gonna go. night everyone!

 

[Axver]

....??

The lyric change? It was originally "She's the wave/She'll turn the tide/She sees the man inside the child, yeah", but on the Best Of, it's "She's the wave/She'll turn the tide/And no question, she knows why".

 

[Alisaura]

It only happens on a couple tracks. Pop is pretty good at giving song air but Please for instance feels very rushed and the tempo seems to be off. If the band stretched it out like they did for Popmart. They would have made the song have room to breathe. That's what I mean.

Fair enough... I guess I'll have to have another listen to things. Thanks for trying to explain it!

And fair point Ax... I think someone once said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture


And about the daylight savings thing... I just keep changing my timezone so that the correct time shows here, even if I find myself on Japanese time for half the year.

 

[coolian2]

Night Khan

 

[Axver]

G'night, MexikhanRailrhodes.

 

[Screwtape2]

Goodnight Khan.

I was trying to do that a few weeks ago, but there wasn't a timezone that worked for me

Pretty sure it was late March last year.

I remember the original Vertigo Tour schedule meant I would have experienced two reversions to normal time. Victoria was changing back the night of 24-25 March and NSW the night of 31 March-1 April, i.e. right between the two gigs in each city.

ah okay. yeah i don't like springing forward. i know it is only an hour, but it throws me off for the whole week

 

[Alisaura]

but time hasn't changed yet. it goes from 1:59 to 3am i think.

I guess because it's Sunday here, it changed for me?

 

[Varitek]

yeah we called it off. i have an early morning, who knows when bars close tonight (fuckin blue laws) etc.

soooo...now that i have shaved my legs, what movie should i watch?

 

[Axver]

Thank you daylight saving, yankee style.

Watch out, it'll be wrong in a few weeks.

 

[Alisaura]

The lyric change? It was originally "She's the wave/She'll turn the tide/She sees the man inside the child, yeah", but on the Best Of, it's "She's the wave/She'll turn the tide/And no question, she knows why".

Wow. I never listen to the Best Of so I never noticed that.

 

[redhotswami]

yeah we called it off. i have an early morning, who knows when bars close tonight (fuckin blue laws) etc.

soooo...now that i have shaved my legs, what movie should i watch?

volver!

 

[Varitek]

ah okay. yeah i don't like springing forward. i know it is only an hour, but it throws me off for the whole week

i hate it. i hate losing an hour of sleep. now gaining one in the fall, that is lovely.

 

[coolian2]

Watch out, it'll be wrong in a few weeks.

I probably won't be able to fix it either.


I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm going to the later mass tomorrow morning so that it doesn't throw me off as much.

 

[Varitek]

volver!

hmm maybe.

i'm really sad, the power outage took down the computer for our campus file sharing network and it hasn't come back yet; hte host is probably away and figured he'd just leave it on. and there were some good new movies i hadn't gotten yet!

 

[Alisaura]

I always waste the extra hour when the clocks change back... I want to spend it sleeping but I'm always online really late.

 

[Screwtape2]

yeah we called it off. i have an early morning, who knows when bars close tonight (fuckin blue laws) etc.

soooo...now that i have shaved my legs, what movie should i watch?

A horror movie. At this time of hour, a horror movie.
