(in case you've no idea what i'm on about, they're now available from the museum, but you can only order the us version from the us and canada, and you can only order the uk version from the rest of the world. well, i guess you *could* order the other version, but you'd have to go and do a bunch of currency swapping and shit.) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 13:21:23 PST From: "Capitalism Blows" Subject: Re: Just a collection of words. No, I'm serious. Some RH content, a lot of total bullshit just looked over this wordlist again. no "ointment"! how could you draw up a list of most-interesting words and not include "ointment"? also, no "catalytic converter," which is a phrase, yes. but *neither* "catalytic" *nor* "converter" are included!! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 18:11:32 -0500 (EST) From: dmw Subject: momus inductee (robyn who?) hokay, today i bought _ultraconformist_, _philosophy of momus_ and _20 vodka jellies_. "last of the window cleaners" is my favorite tune, with "girlish boy" a close second, but i like "jellies" best as a whole. but regardless, i think i'm hooked. anyone (susan?) care to suggest next steps? - -- d. - - oh no!! you've just read mail from doug = dmw@radix.net dmw@mwmw.com - - get yr pathos:www.pathetic-caverns.com -- books, flicks, tunes, etc. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 15:15:47 -0800 From: John Barrington Jones Subject: weenie thing how many robyn cd's do you think can fit in .mp3 format onto a cd-r?

I'm > going in chronilogical order (starting with BSDR). Just finished You & > oblivion, and still have 200 mb left! hot damn! Depends on the sampling rate. At 32 kbps, 30 minutes of sound takes up 5.5-7 MB, and 60 minutes takes up 10-14 MB. At those rates, I've seen people put about 50 hours of music on one disc. Depending on the fidelity you want, you could put all of his albums, all the singles and rarities compilations and have room for your favourite bootlegs. And is that chronoligical by release or by recording? (is Y&O between GD and IODOT or betwen Respect and ME?) And as for bad lyrics, Cope's changes to "5 O'clock World" really bug me, as do Bis' "Tell it to the Kids". Should anyone be really, really interested, I'll post them. now playing: Built to Spill: Perfect from now on Lux Radio Theatre: Enter Madam (I strongly recommend Lux Radio Theatre to you-all. The *original* soap opera, as presented by Cecil B. Demille.)
