@Ryokosan1 I see the logic here now. Thank you. The problem is in the way the initial question is stated. The title says "800% slower" What is happening is that the time has been INCREASED by 800% We are confusing speed with time. Saying that it is slower implies that the speed has been reduced, which in this case it has been, but not by reducing it 800% You cant' reduce anything by over 100% unless you want to end with a negative value.
"

"@johnwhite11 I think I understand what is happening here. You are all fans of this douche, which tells me you aren't very smart to begin with. Is that right? Or do you even know that you are very stupid? Are these questions too hard? If you have made it this far, then please show me an equation than can REDUCE something by 800%! If you can do that, I promise I will be in the front row cheering when you accept the Nobel Prize in Mathematics next year. "

hahha

that's hilarious :)

the poor kid

and the producer behind it all:

Shamantis (Nick Pittsinger, 20) was born and raised on music and is an avid musician, composer/songwriter, and producer. He has had intensive jazz music theory training, and continues to push the envelope of sound by incorprating genres from traditional hindustani music to new and experimental forms of goa and down-tempo.

Shamantis' song "Twenty Seven Misses" was featured in the surf documentary " 21 Days Later"

(ignore the visuals... go put on a slideshow of your loved ones or something in itunes visualiser instead)

sub-lime

and

combo deal

fiery furnaces + stop motion animation...

yes

i think so



don't like the song as much as some other fiery furnaces

but the video is cute

and it was made for a project by WNYC new york public radio's Soundcheck program

Soundcheck - WNYC
29 Jul 2010 ... Soundcheck, hosted by John Schaefer, is WNYC's daily talk show about music. Covering all musical genres, Soundcheck celebrates the musical .
beta.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/

and who are obviously beta testing their site...

hmmm

bet you any money that link will be broken when they fix it...

www.wnyc.org/soundcheck

wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/

something like that

if it does, i'll try to remember to come back and fix it

if not - pah, worse things have happened at sea on the internet

and let's round off with he's-playing-at-urban-outiftters and he's blonde and beautiful, but damn damn DAMN this boy is talented

it's johnny flynn

playing in melbourne next tuesday - solo show at northcote social club

urban melancholic

galaxie 500, with dean who was in luna, who's album i still want and who have a song that was on a b-side of a rare 7" that i'd really sincerely love to hear again one day

can i say that i am a bit opposed to rarity when it defeats the object of listening access? i hate not having a copy of a song i've liked, hate it more if it's a song i've loved

and that is a pain i do not relish

but urban melancholic pain, well.. that's another matter

some loneliness leaves bruises

some inspires poetry

and while i'm mentioning it - this. THIS is amazing and i want my own copy of this too

beautiful waste, poems by david mccomb

skipping stones

how amazing is fourtet...?

www.fourtet.net/

kieren hebden i believe

the new album i've yet to hear in entirety... high on my list though (with the whole rest of will oldham, joanna newsom, more of the field, more by tindersticks, the new one for the national...)

but this 9'31" one off 2003's rounds - unspoken...

just epic beats plus keen melody



beats.

and how i would never give them up

how i love the people that treat them with intelligence, as well as feeling, which creates something transcendent, in the classic sense

like william orbit, like richard d. james... a.k.a. aphex twin

it becomes deeper than dance music, more rhythmic than purely mathematical composition.

math rock we used to call some kinds of music... for a time

math rock to me means ui, trans am (early albums)...

or is that just plain postrock?

to some people postrock is like any quiet loud quiet band, or were they loud quiet loud...? i forget ...

like it matters...

maybe it's a postmix :)

would love to know what technology you're using to make this music... samplers, digital instruments... vintage sythesisers... valve amplifiers.. ? - however you did it, four tet, kieren hebden, this music is excellent!

thank you


~ listener

p.s. fourtet collab. with prefuse 73... on security screenings (2006)

the xx

what an interesting band the xx are

intro - the xx



their songs on the album 'xx' on a random play, they start and i start guessing

sometimes i think hot chip?

sometimes everything but the girl (if i had that on cd, which i don't...)

depeche mode

guitar bits can be pure the cure

and the harmonies

the simple double-lisp boy/girl harmonies

"i was struggling to get in, left waiting out side your door..."

and awesome to be in love, long distance or unrequited... both maybe...

'basic space', how we all need it, no matter how in love


... top tracks

islands
heart skipped a beat
basic space
and intro - their only near-instrumental :)

and from that poorly filmed interview over coffee we know that david gedge likes 'em

and cue the wedding present on random!

gazebo

my song

my fuckin song

:)

because i am also a wedding present fan

more so now, so much more so lately... :)

but gazebo, i always loved that song

off an album it's surprisingly hard to buy now (watusi)

and not on youtube, which is tragic

"you wouldn't believe all the time that i've wasted
staring at the photographs
you sent to me, but i remember oh, exactly how you tasted
and just how much you really meant to me..."

oh mr gedge

is that for me?

xx
