2. You may only use ONE song by any particular artist. In this rule, we are concerned with one continuous song; if the song is split into separate tracks or movements (e.g. to fit on vinyl), all tracks or movements may be included. For example, if you wanted to have both parts of the song "Perfect Sense" by Roger Waters, this would be acceptable even though they are split over two tracks, as it is basically one song. However, if you wish to do this, please clear it with the organisers first. For the sake of this tournament, Passengers will be considered to be a separate artist to U2.

6. Any entry that violates one of these rules or pushes one of these rules is subject to being banned from the competition.

i have never heard of these people

would i be punished for not being obscure?

You've never heard of Sunny Day Real Estate? That's wonderful. They're one of the most influential underground bands of the 90s.

Yeah, it's just too bad the uploading deadline has passed and the 20 maximum competitors have already been selected.

I would assume so.

'Allo, hoes.



Ah, that sucks. Which forum was it? I posted at NoHomers for a little while, mainly for the music sharing.

Yup, it was nohomers. Had 1,000+ posts too. I was able to access some other sections via saved history, and sent a PM to a mod. Hopefully this can be resolved. I've already been warned on there once before.

Hardly. Some of the most obscure lists have been shot down quickly. The ones with the best balance tend to go further.

thanks!

I just called someone's post bullshit. But that was ages ago. I didn't do anything just now.

 

[Varitek]

what about covers if you already have something by the artist who wrote the original?

 

[the tourist]

thanks!

You're welcome. Hopefully you have iTunes cuz it's all in m4a files and WMP doesn't recognize m4a files.

That's a bummer, man. Any idea how it could have happened?

By the way, what was your screenname there?

I'm pretty sure that's allowed too.

 

[the tourist]

It's gonna take awhile for me to upload though, cuz my signal's pretty weak in my bedroom.

My theory: someone hacked into the main index and is screwing around with it. It says that I keep doing some kind of illegal breach of security every time I click the main page.

Username = SilverEagle. There's a lemon_melon on there though who isn't me.

 

[the tourist]

It's crazy how uploading speed is like 1/10th of downloading speed with the same signal.

 

[the tourist]

yup, tho i always convert to mp3

How do you do that?

 

[LemonMelon]

Those SOBs... It was an April Fool's Day joke all along. Fuck. If you scroll down, it tells you it was a joke. Well, now I look like an idiot.

EDIT REPLY: Okay it was april fools and shit

'SilverEagle' doesn't ring a bell I'm afraid, but I haven't been there in a long while.

Do you know the user Jamie? His website is absolutely hilarious: http://www.rubbercat.net/

I wasn't the only one fooled, fortunately. There's an entire thread with people complaining about it.

no prob

 

[Varitek]

How do you do that?

highlight selection, right click, convert to mp3. make sure you go into advanced settings first and set the bit rate under import to whatever you want it to convert to.

(e.g. if the last thing you ripped was u2 at 320 and you're converting an mp4 that was 128 you might wanna lower that)

 

[the tourist]

It doesn't help that I encode everything at 224 kbps.
