“Vinyl” is just a generic “I know its black, but don’t own a ruler” response.

Very good

Sometimes I wonder whether @chaban is actually a machine…

@chaban

Error: Couldn't parse input string

don’t we all…

(Sorry - have an idiot on the phone here… can’t focus fully)

Honestly. How many people here are being paid to sit around and edit MB

[IvanDobsky]

@aerozol

being paid to sit around and edit MB

If you had had to deal with this guy through your Bank Holiday weekend, then you’d understand. Editing MB was stopping me from banging my head on the desk. The truth is most of my hours on MB is because no one is paying me to do anything better at the time… it goes both ways.

I could have said to him: “Excuse me sir, please wait while I sort out the name of the 1970s Italian studio Ian Dury recorded Reasons to be Cheerful in” but he would have just assumed I was mad.

@ernstlx

… and wait with the flame thrower!

[IvanDobsky]

But flame throwers are important tactical weaponry required to keep the database within check!! Puts flame thrower down

[aerozol]

Do you know, I remember when you first became active on the forums and you were super cautious about changing things

(me too haha)

[IvanDobsky]

But then I found my Little Friend.

I think the trick for many of us is getting used to what seem initially to be really weird guidelines. But after the first hundred thousand edits you learn what they actually mean. That way the Napalm can be used within the boundaries. Being able to use Napalm without No votes shows I must have learnt something.

@indy133

It was like in a fairy tale. You report a problem, two fairies appear and… swoosh… everything is done. Great work, thx.

@IvanDobsky

Not so sure about that Fairy description

The Rumor Come Out: Does IvanDobsky is Fairy?

@sammyrayy in the Discord, trying to untangle a tricky Taylor Swift event location:

the actual stage is located in canada, but the seats are in the united states. so technically the actual performances happened in canada.

Since I was taken prisoner in Singapore, I have lost 45 lbs. I don’t mind clearing jungle all day, but some bread and water on occasion would be nice. Are there any AE’s with ribs showing? I am looking like a fashion model now! Please some moldy bread…

Should we ask non-autoeditors to fix a massive number of recent, time-consuming mistakes? - Non Auto-editor responses

I’m getting concerned about the AE’s invading this non-AE thread. Get back in your exclusive thread… (lolz - joke). I think the point is we all have our own little ways of persuasion. There in no “answer” to the question. Each misbehaving editor needs something different, and ultimately none of us would be here if we didn’t care for the data. No arbitration. The official title is not BAFL as that sounds confusing - baffling even. The guideline says there is no appeal after the Wor…

I love a good @sound.and.vision review!

Every single time I hear this song I want to cry. I don’t want to music anymore.

@Tiske_Tisja

Morning all

I made a mistake and now I need 3 yes votes to undo the mistake.

Some one willing to help?

@jesus2099

It is forbidden to make mistakes on MusicBrainz.

@Tiske_Tisja

sue me

get 'em boys!

The cover say “Greek Phantasies”, your added Release “Greek Impressions”. What’s wrong?

David19772022-12-02 13:13 GMT+1

Something went wrong with… my brain.
Thank you, it’s fixed (not the brain, too late for it…)

I have dozens of copies of Dark Side of the Moon and can spot the differences. But then I am also a bit mad.
Out of curiosity—why no separate recordings for remasters? - #14 by IvanDobsky

[IvanDobsky]

I’ve always been mad, I know I’ve been mad, like the most of us are. Very hard to explain why you’re mad, even if you’re not mad…

[aerozol]

lol, IvanDobsky on fire today

@IvanDobsky

Likely the only thing remastered here is the cheaper booklet…

[UltimateRiff]

a couple gems from a merge discussion

(links added)

@aerozol

But we still end up with a problem that bugs me… we know there’s ‘good’ data on that older release, but have no way of ever being able to identify the specific release, down to the back cover details. It will sit there for all of time, nobody ever knowing if it’s a duplicate, or if scans can be attached, and so on. I will lie awake at night*

*I won’t, I just remembered that I don’t care that much about Jimmy Buffett’s Greatest Hit(s)

@Beckfield

I always wondered why the title is “Songs You Know by Heart.” Heart never did any of these songs.

[UltimateRiff]

it’s probably been long enough to double-post… lol

@aerozol: I don’t see why it wouldn’t be a real label, I just assumed when you linked it that it would be a dumb joke release! But it’s a professional joke release I guess

from a very serious Discord discussion with @Victini about a very serious release.
