But consider this, Riff… how will anyone ever be able to make sense of that without a good AcoustID fingerprint on it?
Hahaha… well, I dunno if I’ll be super active in contributing to it, but, sure, I’d love to be able to collaborate on it. I know of some stuff that really blurs the lines between “normal” and memetic music…
Anyway, I spent some time tonight marveling at the task now before me: one of my friends wants to tag their stuff from the A-One circle, and at that point I realized a bunch of their Releases are just a spaghettified mess of clashing relationship and crediting standards… and I’ve been trying to tidy up the first few Releases. I’ve got loooots of open edits now… at least compared to what I’m used to.
I definitely try not to rock the boat too much with my editing and refrain from doing huge sweeping changes all at once, but I’m sure I’ll have a good few pages of open edits for stuff like relationship edits/removals in the next week… Anyone want to take bets on how many releases I’ll make it through before I get sick of it and take a hiatus?
EDIT:
I forgot when I was posting just now, but during the middle of the day, when I was working on those releases, I took some before/after screenshots of POD JACK just for the fun of it.
Much later but an update. Based on this IRC convo there isn’t really a way to connect leitmotifs or themes anyway, so it turns out it’s a mute question/difference!
tldr: just use the ‘based on’ relationship for now
@hay_ mentioned on Twitch that a Leitmotif is a melody which would constitute a work in MB? So maybe I create a work and then link that using ‘based on’…
Would both simplify and complicate it, as these melodies are used in multiple tracks on the first release/soundtrack. So eases the question of ‘what’s based on what’, but brings up the question of ‘what’s the motif called’…
I was actually about to make a thread on that, because I found another example
good to know there’s already a ticket for that tho~
in my opinion, something like [Shire theme] or [Darth Vader leitmotif] might be good, unless there’s a known name for it. do we need a new work type in that case‽
I’ve gone ahead and made a leitmotif work: [Halo theme]
I might leave it there for now, I really just wanted to link those very similar songs together. I was already thinking 'should I split out the ‘monks ohooooooo’ing’ part into its own motif as it’s used so much, but I just don’t have the time
If you have any feedback @reosarevok please do say, and also @CyberSkull who has done an insanely good job on the Halo works already.
Something like ‘Asfdasfd Williams’ will make you come up a lot when I just jam something into Google to skip to the image search window
I recognise that issue. Obviously my RealName™ is not Ivan. My own name is so common that I have to give my date of birth when I go to the dentist to avoid a clash. In my current home town there are many of us. We are legion. There are even famous people with my name.
But there is a bonus. It gives us level of anonymity. No one is going to find us in a Google search. Facebook gets confused as to which one we are. Haha. Common names are cool. Just get yourself a nick name for your mates. We know you are uniquely you and it is all the other David Williams’ who are copying you.
Now I just got to practice saying Hhbsdnflhg. I assume that is Welsh with the lack of vowels.
I doubt Monkey Dust made its way over to your side of the planet… you have missed out on some quality dark dark humour with an excellent sound track. Some of it is on YouTube. Only first series made it to DVD due to having too much music on it. This is why torrents were invented.
[warning - anyone easily offended don’t click on that link]
just wanted to share a fun recording I just added to the DB. I spent far too long finding all the individual musicians before finding they were all linked on the original poster’s TikTok post…
this also made me realize that we probably ought to better support TikTok URLs. would that be a “new feature” ticket? nevermind, there’s already a ticket for that.
kinda on-topic, I guess, but I just added a my first broadcast release
it’s the first video aired on MTV, back in 1981. I kinda wonder if I did it right…
along those same lines, I found the first two hours of MTV on YouTube. haven’t watched it very far in (got to the first Who video so far), but it’s very interesting~
Don’t take my Discogs comments as bashing. I contribute to both sites. They just have very different policies. Both are full of great data and it is the mad chasing of strict guidelines that makes both sites great.
I could pick up on MB chasing of mad Grammar and Apostrophe’s if you need me to even things out a bit?
