Dungog, New South Wales Superthread

Ah, I never use there.

Actually, I don't think I've even used torrents in the last couple of years. I now just use music blogs for my downloading needs.

Not enough blogs have lossless.

Speed-scrabble ftw.

Yeah, we've been playing the "post the first word you see" version sometimes.

That takes way too long for me to download. Yay for shit Intarwebz.

It takes me an hour or two to download a lossless album. It's really not that bad when you've got so much music anyway. Actually, this way I find I listen to more of my music more. Because I have to wait to hear anything new, I do a lot more listening to things I've already got.

Looks like Shepp just got hit by a decent storm. Big band of rain over all of central Victoria at the moment per the radar, moving steadily towards Melbourne.

Get the sandbags!

I think I need to impose a downloading ban on myself for a while, just to get through all the stuff I've downloaded thus far.

See, that's what lossless does for me. Not only does it slow my rate of download, but it gets me the stuff in way better quality.

Given that I didn't notice how shitty a couple of songs were that I had in 80kbps or something ridiculous like that, I think lossless recordings would be lost on me...

Looks like the storms are now rather close to Melbourne ... they're about halfway between Wallan and Tulla right now. Looks like there's a chance they could veer west of the CBD and possibly me, though. We've had a bit of a shower here but nothing more yet.

The more I read about it, the more Spencer St Station sounds fucked!

 

[Cin]

No storms here folks. Looks a little dark but not too bad.

 

[Axver]

Hey Cin!

Radar's showing a big rain band all the way from Melbourne to Geelong and beyond but no storm activity. The major storm seems to have possibly spent itself around Wallan and Yan Yean ... though I have just got some thunder and lightning. Looks like the heavens are about to open.

 

[Cin]

It started raining here about 20 mins ago, not stormy though. I luvs me a big electrical storm

 

[Cin]

ummmmmm, just heard a nice big roll of thunder

 

[Alisaura]

dinner time...

Hi Cin!

 

[Axver]

I take it you enjoyed yesterday then, Cin?

 

[Cin]

yeah but it really wasn't too stormy here dammit!!

 

[Axver]

I take it you've seen the pictures of Melbourne? Glad I wasn't in the city yesterday!

 

[Alisaura]

I just hope our house is still intact...!

You haven't spoken to anybody at home?

 

[Alisaura]

You haven't spoken to anybody at home?

I sent Sarah at text, but she hasn't replied yet. I don't think Rox and Alec are home, unless they gave up on their trip all together.

 

[Alisaura]

So... is Melbourne still there?

 

[Axver]

We haven't washed away just yet!

Hope Daniel's OK up in Shepp ...

Finally, we reach a new thread.

And yes, the storm was quite exciting, wasn't it? Round this end of town we had windscreens being smashed, windows broken, etc. Kind of as though the place was being vandalised by YOUTHS, but not quite.

Oh my kiddy aunt, we had none of that sort of behaviour in these parts!

 

[Alisaura]

Hail crime?

 

[Alisaura]

Huh, Richard Dawkins on Dateline now... apparently he's going up against a nun.

 

[Alisaura]

Or maybe the Dawkins vs. nun thing is on another programme...

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Another quiet night in the superthread?

 

[Axver]

Either way, this sounds like it could be hilarious!

I love Wikipedia.

"Crunkcore (also called screamo crunk, crunk punk, and scrunk) is a musical genre that combines elements of screamo with elements of crunk.

Crunkcore has been heavily criticised by music magazines such as Kerrang!, who called it "possibly the worst genre of music ever created."

John McDonnell, writing for The Guardian, said that crunkcore "sounds like a Chamillionaire track performed by a teenage Slipknot tribute band." He closed the article with "Oh God. I've suddenly come to my fucking senses. What was I thinking? [Crunkcore] is the worst thing to happen to music since Katie Melua's "Nine Million Bicycles" in Beijing.""
