>what would be really amusing is an mp3 of you beating the shit >out of your equipment :) I think you can actually hear me pounding on my dj mixer during the 021117 show which plays regularly on the Shoutcast loop (which is playing now, actually). I think I'm just going to throw the stupid piece of crap away. When I bought it I didn't realize how much I would use it and it's just fallen apart. Next is the Allen & Heath Xone 464 methinks. [drool] >ehhe nah what would be really *amusing* would be to see the equipment >beating the shit out of him.. :) Yeah, it seems the equipment wins a lot of the time! One of the better moments of that was getting shocked after snaking back between the mixing desk, fx rack and the wall one time in New Orleans. I smacked the fuck out of my head, cut my hand, and then spent three or four hours completely tearing the system down and repatching everything (I think it was a metal power strip that bit me but I still don't know for sure). There have been numerous shows where something wasn't grounded right (like whatever my guitar amp was plugged into) so when I would try to sing I'd get 110V right on the mouth. And yes, that's why I have trouble remembering stuff and I tend to blurt out obscenities on the bus. www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

OT OT OT SORRY SORRY SORRY

I know some of you tried to listen in to my show tonight but I had some sort of miserable equipment failure that embarrasses me beyond belief. Besides the problem that kept any live sound from my studio getting to the computer in here (I kind of think it's bad minidiscs but it seems odd that two would do this) both of my mixers are crapping out on me. So you missed some interesting moments but you also missed me beating the shit out of my piece of crap dj mixer. I promise I won't send out notices about these shows again. Check my website or whatever if you like what's playing now. Jesus I feel like such an ass for advertising a non-show... *sigh* www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead.

OT internet broadcast and technical difficulties

Goshes I'm sorry for advertising tonight's netcast. My setup failed miserably so that I spent an hour mixing and only about 15 minutes went out. My apologies. I'll try it again tomorrow night and will do it some more during the next few weeks but I won't spam you guys about it. I feel really bad about asking people to tune in to static... www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

Now there's support for anti-ad, continuous searching, new codec previews, etc. If it's music you're wanting, Soulseek is definitely the way to go. I would say Napster, even at it's peak, didn't compare to this utility in it's current state. I wish I had some way to hack into this msn modem of mine and get rid of the NAT firewall so I could host my own ftp, I've got about 20 gigs of orb stuff that I really want to put out there... Let me know if you are looking for something in particular and I'll see if I've got it and if I can somehow put it up on my web. If you're just looking for the working Orb MP3 sites -- these are the ones I check out frequently: Site Label: DJRenigade HostName: 24.175.202.170 (you have to email rmstringer and ask for a user name and password -- I think orb/orb is working now...?) Site Label: Chris Dawson HostName: Kohdaw.zapto.org Orb/orb Site Label: moondog's HostName: 68.5.183.231 Orb/orb (down for some reason but usually up and working) There's a few others out there but like you, I've never had any luck getting on them long enough to grab anything. I've still about 20 files in my cuteftp queue that have been sitting for weeks, waiting to complete:( jeff -----Original Message----- From: orb-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:orb-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of john bennett Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2003 4:11 PM To: What were the skies like when you wereyoung?

OT internet radio music
by Alan 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

It should be pretty far into the evening for those of you in Europe and England (or whatever the fuck it's called) so I thought I would let you know that IFPR (that's Institute for Psychic Reform, in case you don't know) Radio is on the air... uh 'net. http://www.ifpr.homestead.com/ifprradio.html. Please let me know if you have trouble with the transmission. I'm working with a DSL connection and I hope I haven't set my limits to high. Tonight at around 8:00pm EDT (which I think is 1:00am GMT but I'm probably off by an hour) I will be running through my first practice for an upcoming gig in Baltimore MD. Seating is very limited (3 in the "hi-fi" 112kbps room and 4 in the "lo-fi" 24kbps room). If someone super advanced in this web stuff wants to rebroadcast it anonymously it's not very difficult to do. Go to www.shoutcast.com and figure out how to run the server and two versions of Winamp on your server and you could really bump up the numbers just because you care. : ) Please don't send me hate mail if I suck. I've got a lot of new material I'm working with and I'm a little out of practice. I'm pretty sure it helps if you're really high. www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead.

Re: [Orb] Fwd: Get the Iraq Most Wanted Deck of Cards
by K Ivanson 19 Apr '03

What's our country coming to!? This Most Wanted deck of cards concept is nothing new. The same thing was done during WWII in an effort to increase awareness. And I wouldn't call them murder cards, the people listed on them are much more valuable to US Security if they are alive. You know, so we can pick their brains. Were you aware that you can get decks of cards with convicted "serial" killers on them? Manson, Bundy, etc. Maybe these deserve protest too but I digress. On a second subject. Has anyone identified any backwards passages in any Orb recordings? Just curious as to what might have been found. ----- Original Message ----- > From: orb-bounces(a)mailman.xmission.com > [mailto:orb-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Ben May > Sent: 18 April 2003 21:32 > To: orb(a)mailman.xmission.com > Subject: [Orb] Fwd: Get the Iraq Most Wanted Deck of Cards > > > Here's a perfect example of whats wrong with america.
