[10:53pm] cyber95: fake band names
[10:53pm] PickYerPoison: i'm eating pasta for dinner while i watch some comptf2
[10:53pm] cyber95: i need to name a fictional band
[10:53pm] PickYerPoison: a nice 10 pm dinner
[10:54pm] Pinary: What sort of band?
[10:54pm] cyber95: a college rock band
[10:54pm] bigro: (12:23:46) cyber95: i need to name a fictional band
[10:54pm] bigro: thomas the gank engine
[10:54pm] PickYerPoison: prison train runaways
[10:55pm] Granola: I Can't Hold All These Cubes
[10:55pm] Pinary: Unknown Artists
...
[10:59pm] Godbot: I am very fond of Unknown Artists
[10:59pm] Granola: they did some of my favorite songs
[10:59pm] PickYerPoison: that's going to drive a lot of media library fans nuts
[10:59pm] Granola: like Track 02
[10:59pm] Godbot: and Track 02(1)
[10:59pm] PickYerPoison: Untitled Song
[10:59pm] Pinary: All of Unknown Album was pretty great
[10:59pm] Godbot: aw I can't make a disc one joke
[10:59pm] PickYerPoison: song5.mp3
[11:00pm] Godbot: barenaked ladies already did that
[11:00pm] Pinary: I'm not big on what they did in That One Song, though
[11:00pm] PickYerPoison: i hate the song that has the title that's just a bunch of alt-spaces
[11:00pm] Godbot: on Their Next Album?
[11:01pm] PickYerPoison: no, on Their Last Album
[11:01pm] Godbot: I dunno, PYPs, I didn't like that one
[11:01pm] Godbot: I tried playing it once and it was just a dial tone
[11:01pm] PickYerPoison: yeah most of it was pretty mediocre
[11:01pm] PickYerPoison: oh no that's supposed to happen
[11:02pm] Godbot: what that's bullshit
[11:02pm] PickYerPoison: and it goes on for ten minutes
[11:02pm] Granola: it's experimental
[11:02pm] Godbot: I tried to hang up my computer
[11:02pm] Pinary: Not as bullshit as  , though
[11:03pm] PickYerPoison: i'm pretty sure song.midi actually doesn't play
[11:04pm] Godbot: it's just wav.mp3 backwards
[11:04pm] Granola: that one only works if you load it into a pre-2002 synthesizer
[11:04pm] PickYerPoison: wait holy shit i just looked them up and it turns out everything but their first album was made by their junior year computer science project
[11:05pm] PickYerPoison: this explains a /lot/
[11:05pm] schazer: .tiff.mp3 sounds like white noise
[11:05pm] cyber95: what's that one song that's just a bunch of staticy noise, but if you view it through a spectrogram it displays piano sheet music for "Hey Hey We're The Monkees"
[11:05pm] PickYerPoison: i think the title was just a bunch of gibberish
[11:06pm] PickYerPoison: but it's probably a cryptogram
[11:06pm] Bromeliad joined the chat room.
[11:06pm] schazer: cyberci think that was .tiff.mp3
[11:06pm] Pinary: Nothing tops Sort By:Alphabetical for me, though. Their best album, bar none.
[11:07pm] PickYerPoison: what annoyed me was that the album songs were in order of track length instead
[11:07pm] schazer: actually the trick
[11:07pm] Pinary: Did you never go back and listen to them in alphabetical order, Pipe?
[11:07pm] schazer: was the songs were pre-rates
[11:07pm] schazer: rated
[11:08pm] Godbot: ...why'd they rate them all 1.5
[11:08pm] Godbot: who does that
[11:08pm] PickYerPoison: they were all less than a minute and had no flow, of course i didn't :( i can't see why i would want to go look at them again
[11:08pm] Granola: I stole that album I think, but all the songs just hissed at me like a feral cat
[11:08pm] schazer: take the track names in alphabetical order to get 2-1.5, 5-3, etc
[11:08pm] Godbot: yeah granola they're supposed to bark at you
[11:09pm] Godbot: god, they're such bullshit
[11:09pm] Godbot: if only we knew who they were we could do something about this
[11:09pm] schazer: that gave you a bit.ly link to disc two
[11:09pm] cyber95: but i like Drummer
[11:09pm] cyber95: but not Bassist. Bassist is a douchebag
[11:09pm] Granola: mmhmm
[11:10pm] schazer: all lead singers are douchebags at heart, cyber
[11:10pm] PickYerPoison: what about bass assist? he seemed okay
[11:11pm] schazer: yeah, because he was a robot
[11:12pm] DragonFogel: I came back and looked at this after writing and I thought you were talking about an actual thing.
[11:12pm] PickYerPoison: we're not?
[11:13pm] schazer: nobody's sure if Backing Vocals (the song, not the percussionist) was mixed entirely from sounds made by one person or like
[11:13pm] schazer: fifty overheating computers
[11:13pm] PickYerPoison: i think the latter but that's because i'm /positive/ i heard something catching fire and a soft "oh /shit/" at about the 2:47 mark
[11:14pm] Godbot: yeah that's a tricky one
[11:14pm] Godbot: you have to buy it on vinyl and read the sheet music off of the disc with a microscope
[11:14pm] Godbot: they suggest you hum it to yourself but it's much better on pre-2002 synthesizer
[11:15pm] schazer: ok battery gon die so someone please log
[11:15pm] Godbot: yes'm
[11:15pm] Pinary: Will do, talk to you later!
[11:15pm] Granola: ttfn
[11:15pm] schazer: chur chur
[11:15pm] PickYerPoison: bye!
cyber95: Oh yeah I hear that they've almost finished putting together a program that can play 'Ogg Vorbis'
[11:16pm] schazer: i want Prologue played at my funeral though
Pinary: Heh, good luck to them
[11:16pm] PickYerPoison: isn't that the one that's just a crashing train recording played backwards
[11:16pm] Pinary: Last time someone tried that, we ended up with Vista
[11:17pm] Godbot: no, no, the song is in the comments of vista
[11:17pm] cyber95: That's what they originally thought but no there's a whole other layer underneath and it's been like a ten year project to make something that can actually interpret it
[11:17pm] Godbot: it's a common misconception, I know
[11:17pm] Godbot: windows vista was more of an easter egg
[11:18pm] Pinary: Well, I guess it took on a bit of a life of its own or something
[11:18pm] schazer: has anybody actually heard the whole of "AaaAAAAaaaAARG"
[11:18pm] Pinary: Always bringing home dead bugs and leaving them on the counter
[11:18pm] cyber95: I only got like, sixty hours into it
[11:18pm] schazer: the geocache album
[11:18pm] Godbot: I had to uninstall itunes, I couldn't get it to stop playing
[11:18pm] cyber95: i have no clue how they made ti impossible to fast forward that album
[11:18pm] Pinary: I had some friends plan a road trip around it once, and they got about a week in before they stopped calling home
[11:19pm] Akumu: Okay I only have three panels left now
[11:19pm] Pinary: I hope they're okay out there
[11:19pm] Granola: I went to see them at a concert once, but all they did was hand out pictures of their old albums
[11:19pm] schazer: yeah i know the first half got compiled online but they reckon the nineteenth trqck's fourth quarter is awol
[11:19pm] schazer: or they never made it
[11:20pm] cyber95: See, I went to a concert and they just ushered everybody onto the stage, and the band just sat in the stands, looking disappointed.
[11:20pm] Pinary: Well, there are matching coordinates
[11:20pm] schazer: or it's still in progress and the countdown on their website is referencing when it's up on a cache site
[11:21pm] Pinary: I wish the countdown would at least have some sort of pattern to it
[11:21pm] Pinary: It makes it hard to pin down as it is now
[11:21pm] Godbot: I think that's actually their hits counter
[11:21pm] Godbot: you have to load the website backwards
[11:21pm] cyber95: Yeah well, maybe it won't be as bad to get as that last album that they only made available as a terabyte download from a BBS
[11:21pm] schazer: yeah it's not really a countdown if it's counting ways other than down
schazer: did you download yours from cardoor.com or goatdoor.com
[11:23pm] DragonFogel: Cyber, that sounds better than the concert where you buy tickets and then stay home and don't listen to any of their songs until it's over.
[11:23pm] cyber95: I skipped that one. Tickets were too expensive
[11:24pm] cyber95: Also they weren't playing in my town??
[11:24pm] Godbot: well I mean yeah
[11:24pm] Godbot: that's why you were supposed to sneak in
[11:24pm] cyber95: i mean they weren't not playing in my town
[11:25pm] Godbot: I had to climb into my house through a second-story window but it was totally worth it
[11:25pm] Timujina joined the chat room.
[11:25pm] schazer: a true fan
[11:25pm] Godbot: I made a bootleg recording of it but my camera melted
[11:26pm] PickYerPoison: what i want to know is how they managed to make a negative filesize soundtrack
[11:26pm] schazer: your "camera" "melted"
[11:26pm] Godbot: look I was there okay
[11:26pm] Pinary: Damn those comp scis
[11:27pm] Godbot: PYPs that's
[11:27pm] Godbot: that's just a jump drive
[11:27pm] PickYerPoison: i'm not actually sure if you're trying to make a joke there or didn't get my joke or don't know what a jump drive is
[11:28pm] Godbot: I meant like that was why it had a negative filesize
[11:28pm] Godbot: it's just blank media labeled as a song
[11:28pm] Pinary: They used the same tech as that RAM-downloading site
[11:28pm] Godbot: in retrospect I probably should've gone for a blank CD
[11:28pm] PickYerPoison: haha okay i getcha now
[11:28pm] cyber95: I downloaded the negative size soundtrack a lot
[11:28pm] schazer: what about Tracks 1 to 5 though
[11:29pm] PickYerPoison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmMxVdrP6go
[11:29pm] PickYerPoison: i loved this album
[11:29pm] cyber95: My computer now glows an eerie color that I didn't know existed
[11:29pm] schazer: by which i mean that shitty ep with only three songs on it
[11:29pm] cyber95: but man i have so much hard drive space now
[11:29pm] Pinary: I kind of liked 1-5, really
[11:29pm] Pinary: Nice and simple, comparatively
[11:30pm] Godbot: I never got to listen to it
[11:30pm] Godbot: I ruined the CD trying to dust it for clues on how to play it
[11:30pm] schazer: the abrupt ending to Track Thr didn't annoy you?
[11:30pm] PickYerPoison: it deleted itself off my hard drive before i had a chance to listen to it and when i went to redownload it the online store said i'd never purchased it
[11:31pm] PickYerPoison: *on the online store
[11:31pm] schazer left the chat room. (Remote host closed the connection)
[11:31pm] PickYerPoison: wait no that wasn't a typo
[11:31pm] PickYerPoison: nevermind
[11:31pm] DragonFogel: Does anyone have thoughts on If You Download This You'll Go On A Government Watchlist?
[11:31pm] Godbot: I'm not at liberty to discuss that track
[11:31pm] PickYerPoison: none that i'm allowed to say
[11:31pm] cyber95: Oh by the way, I highly recommend skipping out on their next single. It starts out as a classic rock inspired song but slowly turns into hellish static that drives you insane.
[11:31pm] Pinary: I've got a script downloading it over and over
Pinary: You wouldn't believe how many vans are outside
[11:31pm] cyber95: And it's just not a very good song. Not really their style
[11:31pm] PickYerPoison: pinary is numbers 1-38 on the FBI's most wanted because fo that
[11:32pm] Pinary: Fun fact: The vans all claim to be "watch repair specialists"
[11:32pm] Pinary: I guess that's just the FBI's little in-joke
Pinary: I guess that's just the FBI's little in-joke
[11:32pm] PickYerPoison: they just want to clean your clock
[11:32pm] cyber95: dude
[11:32pm] cyber95: give them the watches that their album 8:00 came on
Godbot: dude
[11:33pm] Godbot: you're not supposed to spoil the ending to album 8:00
[11:33pm] Godbot: come on, man
[11:33pm] Godbot: what kind of fan are you
Pinary: Yeah, I'm done here. I'm not about to stand for that.
[11:33pm] cyber95: oh come on
[11:33pm] cyber95: who here doesn't know the ending of 8:00
[11:34pm] Timujina: i don't even know what that is
[11:34pm] PickYerPoison: i'm sorry to interupt this but a hill titan just invaded my fortress and is literally puking poison on everyone
[11:34pm] Godbot: actually, fun fact
[11:34pm] Granola: I /was/ at 7:57 but I guess I'll stop now
[11:34pm] cyber95: yeah and you all call yourself fans
[11:34pm] Godbot: unknown artists deliberately kept themselves from finding out, cyber
[11:34pm] Godbot: or at least, that's just what I've heard
[11:35pm] cyber95: I mean fuck, at 7:00 it's literally just a list of movie spoilers
[11:35pm] Godbot: they said it'd "spoil the magic"
[11:35pm] cyber95: it's the whole point
[11:35pm] Godbot: then they scratched a chalkboard for seven minutes
[11:35pm] cyber95: you can't take what they say at face value
[11:35pm] cyber95: haven't you learned from their single The Truth?
[11:35pm] Godbot: I couldn't handle that one
[11:35pm] PickYerPoison: they just screamed about global warming for hours
[11:36pm] PickYerPoison: it was pretty inconvenient
