The Bridge

@ickleislands So says a hipster. That's bullshit. People stop listening to it because they don't like a bunch of other people talking about shit they like.

@ickleislands Also, have you ever heard of 'Ott'?

Just bought this album a few days ago, it's amazing. ottsonic.bandcamp.com/album/mir

ickleislands

@GnomeSlice I think it's unfair calling me a hipstir when what I'm talking about is the chilled melodic sounds of 95-2000 being replaced with cheesy vocals to get into the charts

GnomeSlice

@ickleislands Then that's not trance.

ickleislands

nothing hipster about that when the genre changed to sell as much as possible before starting to decline

"Vocal Trance" < clue in name

GnomeSlice

This is one of the most amazing, relaxing downtempo DnB songs ever.

You know, just because some people start doing vocal trance doesn't mean you need to stop listening to trance. What do you expect to happen? Some musicians love lyrical music, if a genre gets popular in the global community, you're going to see some of those artists do their own take on the genre.

ickleislands

@GnomeSlice that's properly chilled

@GnomeSlice I didn't "stop" listening to trance, otherwise I couldn't have made the comment about what it evolved to :confused:

GnomeSlice

Ergh, you n' me both.

ickleislands

@GnomeSlice and "some" = "most of the same artists taking part in the original rising of the genre"

GnomeSlice

1:17 AM

Anyway, if you're still into trance, look up 'Vendace Records' if you're not already familiar with the record label.

ickleislands

not even like it was people jumping on the bandwagan although there was certainly a lot of that happening too

GnomeSlice

@ickleislands So? Again, what do you expect?

spugsley

hey guys :3

GnomeSlice

If something gets popular you can't expect it to not get a bunch of new inventions of it when other artists find out about it.

Fluttershy

@spugsley Hullo! =3

ickleislands

1:17 AM

@spugsley hey

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Do check out that song by 'Gas' at some point.

ickleislands

@GnomeSlice true enough

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice I did. It's now in my Likes.

But I'm gone back to Primavera.

ickleislands

@GnomeSlice I find it interesting how over the last 2 decades multiple genres have merged and split to create multiple hybrid genres

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy I heard it in a game soundtrack first.

Yi Jiang

1:19 AM

@GnomeSlice The ones in Osmos?

spugsley

@RavenDreamer this Futurama talk is confusing. Why do you think I'm like Amy? I don't walk around in skanky pink jumpsuits :(

GnomeSlice

@YiJiang No, though he did do a bunch for Osmos as well.

ickleislands

like chart tracks using DnB elements, rap music with dance beats, etc

Fluttershy

@spugsley Does that make @IanPugsley Kif, and @OrigamiRobot Zap?

ickleislands

tracks that are half RnB for the first 3 mins and then DnB for the second 3 minutes

spugsley

1:20 AM

@Fluttershy supposedly O-o

GnomeSlice

Anyway, speaking of which, the soundtrack for 6th Planet is one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard.

fuck the link died

Did napster go down or something?

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice Yeah, like.... 13 years ago

GnomeSlice

Balls, you used to be able to listen to the entire album in full on Napster.

ickleislands

I want to make a comment about how the true napster died when I was a child and got replaced by a company pretending to be napster

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy ...Definitely not 13 years ago, I got the game like last year.

ickleislands

1:21 AM

@Fluttershy beat me to it though

GnomeSlice

And listened to the soundtrack there.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice @ickleislands got it...

I was downloading Blue Oyster Cult on Napster before Metallica came in and ruined everything.

ickleislands

every bit of music i've ever had released has been downloaded more times illegal than it has been bought

should I stamp my feet?

no - what I actually do is not give a damn, since I'm happy people get to listen to it regardless of if I make money

Fluttershy

@ickleislands You release music? Is it available to listen to now? >.>

I am intrigued...

GnomeSlice

@ickleislands That's surprising, you must be more famous than you let on.

People only pirate popular stuff.

ickleislands

1:24 AM

I'm not famous

I am so low profile it isn't even funny

I make music for the love of music

@Fluttershy I linked youtube.com/watch?v=SAaTDtJrMQg earlier as something I have had involvement in

it is not likely to be to your taste tho

but I like/make any kind of music

and always for fun

like remixing Invader Zim

@GnomeSlice if I'm modest I will call myself collateral damage and people actually want something else on the album

all tracks I've ever released have been on compilation cds :)

except 1 on vinyl

GnomeSlice

@ickleislands I can't stream that song, unfortunately.

The first few seconds sounded promising though.

ickleislands

i could be mean and link you some random thing I started doing today with a horrifically catchy vocal

but you'd never forgive i think

Q: Should I equip my MF gear before identifying items?

I wanted to know if I should equip my MF gear in order to identify magic items in order for them to yield better results, or if the items just don't show their magic properties but they are already on the item (unlike for instance, what happens with a treasure chest)

interesting, try soundcloud.com/dreyauc/sigh-10/s-XIRbN

at your own peril

but here's my number, so call me maybe?

GnomeSlice

@ickleislands Nice, do you do this for a living?

Fluttershy

@ickleislands Who's singing?

QAtash

Anyone on bridge one of the people who VTC'd on my question?

GnomeSlice

Oh. You sampled that song you were talking about.

Bah, I don't think I've ever going to be any good at musical composition.

@Fluttershy carly rae jepsen

she has a nice voice imo

shame about the lyrics

Fluttershy

1:39 AM

@ickleislands She does... Never heard of her though.

ickleislands

Justin Bieber found her and gave her a record contract

user15026

@ickleislands I love her so much, even if Call Me Maybe gets stuck in my head ALL THE TIME

GnomeSlice

I wish Soundcloud oneboxed in SE chat.

ickleislands

@GnomeSlice that would be epic

Q: Chat oneboxing support for Soundcloud?

This is a bit of a silly request, but since SE has recently been posting their Podcasts on soundcloud, I feel like I now have a legitimate reason to bring this up.

@Fluttershy Or off of Steam.

Fluttershy

1:48 AM

@GnomeSlice Steam has the soundtrack bundle.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy Ah.

ickleislands

@GnomeSlice upvoted

GnomeSlice

I've found most minimalist piano pieces to be ultimately forgettable over time. Even famous classical pieces. I like Classical as much as anyone else, it's just... er, not sure.

This is excellent though.

Fluttershy

It's a fun little puzzle game with some pretty amazing songs. The soundtrack's only seven songs though...

The music makes me dance like that.

GnomeSlice

@Fluttershy ...How do you dance like that to classical piano?

user15026

1:53 AM

Bah, the Internet has run out of things for me to read. Again.

@AshleyNunn Adjustment Team by Philip K. Dick

i hate when i run out of things to read

i end up at 4chan which leads to inevitable scarring

Fluttershy

@ickleislands I know that feel...

Yi Jiang

The movie The Adjustment Bureau was based on that short story

GnomeSlice

Does anyone have enough rep on MSO to fetch the vote counts?

user15026

1:56 AM

@ickleislands So far I have managed to avoid 4chan

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn Probably best to keep it that way...

GnomeSlice

There was a really long piece I came across somewhere online called 'Monkey on my Back' that I had been planning to read when I got a chance. I think it was about drug addiction. But I can't seem to find it again, all of the results... aren't it.

Fluttershy

Especially if you suffer from train wreck syndrome...

user15026

@Fluttershy I do. Which is why 4chan and I stay happily apart

Fluttershy

What the hell happened to @spugsley? Didn't she like... come in and say hello? And then just disappear?

ickleislands

2:00 AM

@AshleyNunn yeah you're better off staying away from 4chan at times

GnomeSlice

Dammit, I really wish I could find it again.

Probably best I don't though anyway, I might offend some people.

Hey, I found it.

spugsley

@Fluttershy Diablo happened to spugsley

GnomeSlice

Fluttershy

@spugsley That's lame. I was hoping Catan had happened to @spugsley. >.>

Fluttershy

Nothing sold. =(

ickleislands

every item i've sold so far has been legendary or set

rares don't seem to sell

at least not mediocre rares

but the legendaries i've sold were definitely mediocre

Fluttershy

I'm still on Nightmare, so... No legendary or set items for me.

saying that

I just sold a rare

so £54 now

Maleficent is a fictional character and the main antagonist in Walt Disney's 1959 adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. She is the self-proclaimed "Mistress of All Evil" who, after not being invited to the baby's christening, curses the infant Princess Aurora to "prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die" before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday. The character is Disney's half-dragon adaptation of the evil fairy godmother from the original fairy tale. Maleficent is often viewed as the most powerful and sinister of the Disney Villains, frequently acting as their leader in m...
