favorite part of the article:
"...so that free copies of the song will not spread willy-nilly across the web"
its time more articles used the term willy-nilly.

term heard in a meeting the other day:
another one that needs to be used more often by respectable journalists: "loosey-goosey"
Ex: "Premature implementation of this standard could make the entire system far too loosey-goosey."

awesome
anyone here who works for big corporations should start going to meetings and slowly introduce babytalk words as if they were the new "buzz" words. executives will be quick to latch on to whatever might keep them in touch with the "buzz" and hopefully in a few months you could have an entire board room speaking in singsongy rhymes and gurgling at each other...
or maybe not...

agreed!
as a test, i will introduce the following term in an unrelated context:
Ex: "While this system is not necessarily stable, there's no reason for the department to get all goo-goo-ga-ga over it just yet."

and then...
slightly modify it at the next meeting:
Ex: "While this system is not necessarily stableywabley, there's no reason for the depawtment to get all goo-goo-ga-ga over it just yet."
when you get funny looks, just shrug and say that technology has its lingo, and to establish an understanding of the technology, you need a common language.

I guess visiting my old net hangout once in a while is at least good for a laugh or two.
from GBV.com:
New GBV Album
GBV has wrapped up production on their next full length release. Tentatively titled, From A Voice Plantation, was recorded at Cro-Mag Studios in Dayton OH and Waterloo Studios in Kent OH. The album will feature 19 new songs and was produced by the band and Todd Tobias. Unfortunately no information is available as to what label will be putting the album out and when it will be released.
and from Pitchfork Media:
Guided by Voices Needs a Loving Home
Gifted... prolific... snappy dressers... possibly housebroken
Will Bryant reports:
Guided by Voices have completed their next release for mass consumption later this year, according to their official website. The nineteen-track From a Voice Plantation (and that is completely set in stone, as you know Bob Pollard doesn't like to change album titles, or song lineups, or the name of his band) was recorded old-school at Cro-Magnon Studios in Dayton, with Todd Tobias at the knobs. Todd and his brother Tim collaborated with Pollard on last year's Fading Captain release Ringworm Interiors, under the bandname Circus Devils. Pollard's band is currently Doug Gillard (guitar), Nate Farley (guitar), Tim Tobias (bass), and Kevin March (drums). The recently departed Jon McCann (not to be confused with claw-handed Presidential wannabe John McCain) played drums on the record. The boys did some additional recording at perfectly respectable Waterloo Studios in Kent, Ohio.
From a Voice Plantation was recorded by fully completing one song at a time, instead of Pollard's usual bang-'em-out-all-at-once approach. The sound has been described as more akin to Under the Bushes, Under the Stars' mid-fi guitar attack, but there's still no satiating Pollard's rock-opera jones: the Invert String Quartet provide strings for two songs.
As reported last week by Pitchfork, the new album will not be released by TVT, as were Pollard's big-budget productions Do the Collapse and Isolation Drills. Our information says that Guided by Voices' contract was simply not extended as the label obviously lavishs a lot more attention on Snoop Dogg and their stable of new-metal and rap-rock ho's. Guided by Voices' webmaster, Rich Turiel, says the band was "never able to reach a deal that both sides were happy with so they agreed to part ways." What is this, The Godfather? Suffice it to say they're free agents.
If your label would like to release a record with the following song titles (or whatever they're called next month), please give a shout:
01 Wire Greyhounds
02 Skin Parade
03 Zap
04 Christian Animation Torch Carriers
05 Cheyenne
06 The Weeping Boogeyman
07 Back to the Lake
08 Love 1
09 Storm Vibrations
10 Factory of Raw Essentials
11 Everywhere with Helicopter
12 Pretty Bombs
13 Eureka Signs
14 Wings of Thorn
15 Car Language
16 From a Voice Plantation
17 Sick in the Eyes
18 Universal Truths and Cycles
19 Father Sgt. Christmas Card
Oh, man - no "Back To Saturn X"! That's pretty disappointing. "Back To The Lake" is still stuck in my head, and I've only ever heard it once, back at their first Apollo show...
Some great titles there...I particularly like "Zap", "Sick In The Eyes", "Factory of Raw Essentials", and "Universal Truths and Cycles"....
Can't wait. I'd actually be quite happy if they went back to Matador, but my gut instinct (and the fact that Bob just did a record with its founder lends that feeling some credibility...) is that they will go with Merge.
