Well Zwan anyway. I've just written a mini series called He Kills Coppers and (rights permitting) we're using the cover of Number of the Beast over a climactic battle between police and hippies at Stonehenge. Rock on!

is this like a documentary or docudrama or what?

If it was a mini stonehenge id understand where the working with billy would come in but im lost.

sounds gay and not true

um. that's cool and all, but it's not technically "working with billly".

rights permitting

pending facts would be true


btw Metro DVD & chicago songs are on their way too.

um. that's cool and all, but it's not technically "working with billly".

of course it's not really working with billy but it's the closest i'll ever get!

i wasn't trying to be a jerk; i didn't mean to come off that way. It's cool :2thumbsup

did you get your computer fixed? :(

getting the drive replaced after work today. thankfully it's under warranty, so i'm not out any $$. If I had $100 to spare, he'd recover my lost data for me. If they let me hang onto the dead drive rather than having to send it back to apple, I'll pay to do that at some point in the future. Thanks for thinking of me pal. :)

man that blows, but i'm glad its getting fixed. hopefully you can recover the data later. thats a shitty process to go through

:D

i'm just sad that i lost the song i was working on :(
maybe i can get it all back though, I'll keep my hopes up for it.

this is a lesson to me to always use my external drive for my music. I should've been doing that anyway.

what kind of hard drives do you use? ive got a few lacie quadras, but they have crapped out a couple times lately, and was looking into something else. any suggestions?



oh yeah. hooray for zwan licensing

Ooh, yeah. That's crucial. I had an extra drive to keep my recordings (project files and finished WAVs and whatnot), but I had let my recording software save the audio data to the default location rather than the folders I made on the other drive. So, when my Windows partition had a severe hiccup one day and I had to reinstall it, I forgot to copy the audio data over and lost everything. :( I mean, I still had the songs and project files, but it didn't do me any good to work on them because I lost the individual tracks. So now I've got a 500GB SATA drive where all that stuff goes directly, lol.

Actually, I don't think I've really touched Windows much since then.

Also, to answer SlingeroGuitaro, Western Digital is great and Maxtor is good too.

Western Digital makes the MyBook which works great on Mac and Windows.

If he is only charging you 100$ to recover the data then it must not be that hard to recover the data. You would be better off just buying a copy of spin right for 80% and doing it yourself. I always feel like I"m ripping off people for PC repair, but man I really need to charge more. 100$ to recover data, damn.

i have 1 mybook, but it doesn't write fast enough. i guess i should have specified- i use the harddrives as a recording medium, not just to back stuff up. i have an 80g maxtor that i have had for about 6 years. i think i paid close to $200 for it then.

Might want to look into replacing that drive. 6 years is getting towards the end of the life span of any drive.

haha, i just have random pictures on it. i dont use it for anything important, i'm just proud that i do still have it and it still functions. i thought it was so fast, being a firewire drive and all

I have a 30 mb drive that came in a pc I bought about 15 years ago that still works perfectly. Every now and then I'll use it if I'm having trouble getting a PC to boot.

i declare this thread SP-relevant.

Billy gave me a song for a project I was working on, but unless he has an input on your project it isn't really working together is it?

still, good choice of song and look forward to it!

kahlo is ferocious competition to mojo's claim.

I made the mistake of putting 'worked with Billy corgan' on a press release for it, only to be corrected later on.

of course it's not really working with billy but it's the closest i'll ever get!
loser LOL!

Basically you get to pay Billy to promote his song.

Billy for the win

of course it's not really working with billy but it's the closest i'll ever get!

hey! I'm going to listen to siamese daydream this afternoon!!! I guess I'm working with billy too!!!!

Thanks for wasting time of a man who is confined to a wheel chair, asshole.

He Kills Coppers

Prime-time TV material?

a climactic battle between police and hippies at Stonehenge

Let's see the trailer.

it does sound amazing

Prime-time TV material?



Let's see the trailer.

we haven't cut one yet - we're still editing the films. re: working with billy that was kind of a joke - in reality of course it's just a conversations between lawyers about a track thats five years and nothing remotely like working with billy. still if we get to use the song I'll be a happy man because it's not often producers listen to scriptwriters.

his lawyers didn't get back to me

please don't sue me Billy

So basically. Your lawyer is going to ask for permission from 2 bands and get turned down.

i worked with billy once. he was such an asshole control freak i had to tell him to shove it.

I get to work with Billy too! It all depends on what I decide to listen to during the morning drive.

I almost got sued by Billy does that count?

how did you almost get sued by billy?

You were the guy that leaked Lost in the Woods? Good job, bro! I really liked that song.

i really doubt he is the one who leaked it. if i'm not mistaken, he was one of the people who was running the hub back then, so he was the one they came to, you know, demanding that he would put a stop to it. something like that.

go fuck yourself you cuntfaced nazi.

go work with billy some more, you loser.

jebus effin christ i can hardly believe how much of a loser you are you're stupid like a baby you big stupid baby

why would you make this thread? go back to pasting NME articles you fucking git

one time i heard somewhere that billy's a control freak.

why would you make this thread? go back to pasting NME articles you fucking git

why are you so angry mayfuck? I mean it keeps us all amused but maybe you should get some help.

you should probably shut the fuck up right about now.

you give it out you gotta take it. i didn't start this.

i'm going to take a shit in your kitchen sink and make you clean it up

mojo, who did you just PM?

how did you know he PMed someone :eek:

you freak me out pretzel logic.

you give it out you gotta take it. i didn't start this.
will you say hi to billy for me?

mojo, who did you just PM?

not you, don't get excited.

i really doubt he is the one who leaked it. if i'm not mistaken, he was one of the people who was running the hub back then, so he was the one they came to, you know, demanding that he would put a stop to it. something like that.

Close. I was accused of somehow stealing it from Lester Cohen. I was simply given it on the hub and posted it on the hub message board asking if anyone knew what it was. It was really shitty over reaction by Billys people. And Lester was a major asshole, trying to cover his own ass and protect his job. Now that I have seen what they did to the kids who took the pictures I have no doubt that they would have tried to arrest people if they had ever found out who leaked it.

I guess I didn't get sued because I said the project was non-profit. Billy was actually pretty nice about it... or the project was low on the radar

i think he was just high and it didnt register

Garson saved your ass! Of course in return you were required to defend him from all criticism from that point onward...

I'm omniscient.

If it was a mini stonehenge id understand where the working with billy would come in but im lost.

Nigel Tufnel: In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing...

...

David St. Hubbins: I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
Ian Faith: I really think you're just making much too big a thing out of it.
Derek Smalls: Making a big thing out of it would have been a good idea.

...

Ian Faith: Nigel gave me a drawing that said 18 inches. Now, whether or not he knows the difference between feet and inches is not my problem. I do what I'm told.
David St. Hubbins: But you're not as confused as him are you. I mean, it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel.
