Where are the Orbulletin's Brian? Email me offlist and we'll talk offlist so nobody on here hasta read our posts about me requesting you 'onlist' to email me offlist ok? Hey, wait there is no Orb news so thus: No fucking Orbulletins!!! Lets talk about other music similiar. If you think this blog has problems... you're right. Delicious problems. Who pays the bills here anyhow?

Blue Room oddness
by Alan Evil 08 Apr '04

08 Apr '04

So, I've been making these cd-r's of random selections from my mp3 collection. I've also gotten a selection of them from Listees. Killer shit, really. It's like tuning in an excellent radio station. With a freak on the tables. Anyway, I got three random cd's from other people. And I've burned a bunch, probably nine, of them from my own, constantly changing collection. On all three cd's I got from other people there was a version of the Orb's "Blue Room." And on my first three cd-r's from varying playlists as well as two different cd-r's culled from the first, random playlist... [I burned three or four cd-rs from a single, random playlist of my collection when I first thought of this but since then I've ripped more of my collection as well as deleting some crap I downloaded while downloading something else so now I make a new, random list and burn the top of the list.] ...there was a different version of "Blue Room" [on five of nine different random burns the song "Blue Room" occurred] I've got like 42GB of mp3s that get placed in the random playlist. This is almost 6000 files. They get scrambled. I take the first bunch of files that fit onto a cd minus the really super long shows. There are, what? Ten different versions of "Blue Room" on my hard drive? That includes the versions in live sets. How in the world could it occur in FIVE out of nine cd-rs I've burned from my collection (a 1 in 600 chance each tine) AND all three cd-r's from my friends? It means something. I just wish I could read the writing. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Rich Folks and Huge Corporations care about YOU!

Y'know, mailing lists continually evolve if they're worth reading and people continue to participate. The kind of stupid crap these feeble minded twits are pulling always comes in waves and in between their childish cursing and insults the list goes on. I only respond to Thrash, btw. His trollness is legitimate as the pissed off child wonder of the original and best incarnation of the Orb. Not that he isn't frustratingly stupid at times but... The rest of these pussies are just cocksucking wannabees that have yet to be entertaining or enlightening. Thrash can tell us how amazing the FFWD sessions were. These new trolls can do little more than grub through their own and Kris's shit and throw it at other listees. It may stink but it doesn't hurt. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ Rich Folks and Huge Corporations care about YOU!

Negativity

Well, Since I just injected a dose of bad vibes onto the list I thought I'd make up for it with a post that contains questions / comments that deal with the orb. Is anyone else excited about the LX and Mad Professor project? I think this has the potential to be one of the best orb projects in quite some time. Fingers crossed on that one... Also, has Auntie Aubry's Vol 3 ever been officailly released by Deviant or another label? Are there plans to? I haven't seen this in any stores and it's a shame because it's quite good. I think that LX's remixes have remained pretty strong over the years. I like the Auntie Aubry compliations because it's hard to track them all down. Anyone from Australia going to the DJ gigs this month? And as a final thought - I wish I was going to be in London for the May 14th show with Mad Professor. I hope a US tour is in the works in support of B&T. It might give this list something to talk about.... -matt _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar get it now! http://toolbar.msn.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/

I love how Matt here is the bigger man, not feeling sorry for himself. He's actually doing something to fix the list not whining about it. >sadly, since thrash and his cronies crashed the list, it's gone very >quickly down the drain and has turned into a genuine shithole As a "cronie" of Thrash's I must admit I find him refreshing, but take it with a GRAIN OF SALT.. again GRAIN OF SALT. You are easily manipulated if you hate him. Its the web. Its an alter-ego. I love LX too... so what? >people don't talk about music here any more because they get attacked right >away I don't talk about it cuz nobody answers me. again GRAIN OF SALT >Is anyone else excited about the LX and Mad Professor project? Yes! Very much so. >Also, has Auntie Aubry's Vol 3 ever been officailly released by Never heard of it, thank you! >like the Auntie Aubry compliations because it's hard to track them all >down. I agree wholeheartedly! >I hope a US tour is in the works in support of B&T. It might give this >list something to talk about.... I want a tour, but Cydonia was shit (just my honest opinion) and thus so is B & T opinions are better expressed not surpressed or censored The bottom line is this: Aren't the Orb about care free, loving expressions and often times silly pranks? Not like Wavy Gravy or anything, but if you listen to ambient music you shouldnt be tense. Light a splif, relax. Its about fun. Alot of other blogs are overrun, we all have one ting' in common: we love orb. We all (for the most part) don't take shitloads of E and throw shit at LX cuz we want Carl "cock chugging" Craig to kick out the jams. I have almost punched people at orb shows for ripping them, but realized what its all about. Merriment. If you aren't merry, leave. Simple. matty _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/
