Playlouder - Music is the Network

please say it's coming back???

I wish it would.

It would be good to recap on the old flame wars, exchanges of neighbourly advice and general observations about life, the universe and music.

I'd also like to find out what happened to my old bete noire Gio: where has she chosen to embrace her inner Stalin (among other online activities) nowadays?

yeah. me too. Gio was cool.

She never told us much about her DJing, did she? I would be good to catch one of her gigs...

...Talking of gigs, expect to see plenty of my band this Spring-Summer: we've given up on the idea of touring America for the time being, so we're planning to play quite a few London gigs in the very near future.

Kiss my fucking arse. All you lot did was fucking complain about the old playlouder and now you want it back? Get a fucking grip.

And carry on telling me how fucking brilliant I am.

you're fucking brilliant

but you're a crap tagger - though we did change how it worked so i guess it's our fault

Can you explain to me in earth language what to do? And can you get Alex the Narc to email me as I need to talk to him about something.

type one thing - wait a bit for the tagger to try to find it, and if it does choose it - if it doesn't proceed anyway, and it will make a new one

try it on this chat - tag with yourself, frinstance

(it knows your user name)

Right. So I do that on everything now?

then it links to the thing you tagged with

and yeah, you can do it everywhere around the site!

Why would anybody want to "tour" America? Don't you limeys usually go to New York and act like red coated pussies you are? Besides, we have nothing for you but an ever increasing police state, endless Wal-Marts raping what's left of the environment (next to the tract housing), tourists traps that offer nothing for your money and obese toothless morons who vote Bush and brunden the middle class by suckign on the health care system due to endelss fast food diets and

oh fuck it...definitely bring back the old playlouder - you could at LEAST edit on that.

I'm having a shitty day. Winter blows.

kristy, yes

it's a chat - you can't edit chat

it does. i hate it too, join the club.

it's raing here and all is mud

raining

walking with laptops in the rain

its a new song. by me.

I often wish I could edit my chatting in real life, but haven't found out a way yet

just do the matrix

you have to hit the person you're chatting with very hard over and over

yeah, we need a chat edit system

boring. much more fun if you cant edit

usually works - unless they are a christian

I'm all about boring.

liking John D isn't boring.

r maybe it is?

I want to make it clear I only like John D while under the influence of narcotics.

we all have to deal with this soberly, imagine that

There wasn't a chat as such before was there?

wasn't it more of a message board

yep i believe so

tis a tale i hear down the playlouder echoes of time. *alas*

shouting down the mountains

mm

from the clearing remember

hehe

so many ill-advised metaphors...

I'm listening to Jeffery Foucualt and I need coffee which means I have to brave the snow to get some. And don't come to America - the place sucks - go to Canada and photograph the Wal Marts they have there with your digital cameras.

sound advice i am sure

we have ASDA, which is surely similar, except no guns

someone tried to hold me up with fried chicken in asda

christ i hate fried chicken

and asda.

Oh, you got to have the guns in America I hought not one but TWO 30.30 Winchester rifles last summer
They are FUN!

i like fired chicken

oops - fried

BANG BQUAK!

ho ho

badum pshtt

I burnt my mouth on a spring roll yesterday

they the world

worst

and jam rollypolly. nothing more lethal. like molten lava down your face

i went to an american diner yesterday

and ate american food

thats right kristy

I need coffee liek you limeys need to bring back synth pop

More like Talk Talk or the Flock of Seagulls

oooh flock of seagulls

now thats what I'm talking about

(not spring rolls)

Tears for Fears - no wait, they sucked.

gay

i think they had one good song

Slow Children (were... american?)

i forget which

Looks like timc is too good for us.

I move with the crowd

gay

this is oi new york this is london

modern english

rather good electronic synthy stuff

sorry kristy, I'm just trying to get the damn thing from not scrolling to the bottom whenever anyone posts - I'm trying to read what everyone's written but can't.

you keep your nose in the air mate

These were the days http://www.usvsthem.net/archives/000287.html

I need to get all pissed off again

I could do a DJ set with 80s synth/new wave

in fact, that's ALL I could DJ

da da da etc.

whowrotethat?

kristy did of course

of course

da da da was i can't remember

i did a cover version of it a few decades ago

But now with the emo kids destroying music I no longer have anything left to get angry over the limey about. Playlouder needs to go emo...

can we hear the cover paul?

no - lost on 1/8" magnetic tape

emo kids arent our problem. they are yours. they die here. it's too harsh for them.

paul, i dont believe you :)

they survive in nottingham

aha! time for a pilgrimage

would you like to hear something i have been making with a mate, we did alot on it this weekend.

fuk - there's even a myspace group for them!

da da da was TRIO (german lot)

also..... elastica I think

C'mon! Limeyland is full of emos. But Playlouder needs to revamp. Just make sure you have your MyWaste profiles listed, all your boring digital photos of yourself and cheesy artwork Photoshopped to death, your iPod playlist, your crap haircuts, and most important, your talentless, melody-less flavor-of-the-month music over talked to death.

ah yea - trio

http://download.yousendit.com/C819CFF03D5C17D6

how can we revamp it?

that myspace url has crapped on the formatting - and it busts out of the frame

make it "dark" puts photos of razor blades and photoshop ideas for your crap digital photography

and pick and emo act out there and hype it

maybe we can tempt a crowd of emos in and they will do all that naturally

kristy, check out that link see if its dark enough for you

its fucking dark

they could form a group and make it look how they want.

it's not whiny enough. Can only be emo it it whines

I saw emo as more of a problem here 4 years ago

I'm more worried about young white kids incorporating grime influences into their crap synth pop at the moment

oi

hahah

what? you think I'm tlaking about you?

i wish right

if i knew where you lived... hang on :)

You're talking about wigger music

how can music be wigger?

when music doesn't discriminate

white kids pretending to be black - like Adam Alphabet

no he actually is black

he's pretending to be white.

hoho

ts true

in theroy

e does wear shoe polish

kristy, he cuts himself too. uniting emo and rap

in a single stroke

Does he use bling for razor blades?

why not

best as earrings so they dangle near your throat i always thought

erm

ctually did razor open his own head the other week didnt he?

forgot that...

yes, with his special coloutful vision attacking

will try to forget it again

Doesn't matter - music sucks anymore. Think I'll turn Christian and play records backwards for hidden messages while ripped out of fucking on Vicodin You know, have no life while thinking I have a life. Or something.

mind Ripped out of my fucking mind. See? Americans can't write coherent sentences anymore. It's the fast food slowly giving us mad cow.

listen to Spiritual Front you miserable sod.

there's more good music now than ever

you just don't get it rammed down your throat.

Sod music?

The latest trend?

we all get together

put on static fucking loud

so we dont have to think or talk to each other

Lou Reed, yeah.

Metal Machine Music

I love track 3

it's so much better than track 1 and 2 and 4

Reed is a twat anymore. He a "photographer" these days.

He's
God damn it

cough to clear the wedge of fried meat

I need my coffee and Vicodin.

coffee and vicodin is a strange mix

and John D to wrote something new. That pussy.

write
god damn it

He just did!

its not his fault, i think he lives in the new forest. he can only write when its sunny

where?

in the woods. with a solar laptop.

i dont know really. im talking shit

Oh, this is so cool. I'm going to get some coffee, pop abut 50mg of narcotic and read that!

bye

tata

i think you just made her day mr svenhunter

jolly good

you'd think she'd check the front page...

if only it was that easy

kristy - stalk him

that's why we made it like it is!

Excellent! Feels just like old times...

...Talking of old times (and embracing my inner wigger), jus' natural roots:

By the way Kristy, coffee and Tyrosine make more sense together - I'm about to prepare mine for tomorrow morning. Tara!

I never complained about the old playlouder. And reading that back I'm not complaining about the current incarnation.

I am. I'm displeased.

Displeased with this board, or with life in general? We deserve to be told!!!

I can imagine your being displeased with music this decade - 2008 and still too many McTunes...

things are improving round these parts.
that new 'ADD' fucntion up there ^^^ is pretty spot on.
a lot easier and smoother. bravo to all involved.
now - are we to get a skins type of function so i can clean up the page of all the garish stuff (not a fan of orange colour personally) ?

woah.

that's a (good but) rather insane idea...

the poor monkeys will have to work nights!

I reckon priority is making content searchable, though how I don't know. PR folk are often perplexed (in general, but also specifically) cos they can't find reviews/news when they log on. tags are a way of sorting it, but if you don't know what tags are, how do you go in the right direction? What about tag clouds? Are they too late 90s celeb-blog?

and can you search for multiple tags, e.g. 'cheesemaker', 'finger farmer'

marke. soon the colours are dead. and the tabs.

and the 3 columns into 2.

and the player into something useful at the top

you can thank matthew and tim for the lovely modal adder. and me for making it look very simple.

nice.
colours are so passe, but then i would say that. agree re the PR/review search thing. thats a something i've had mentioned to be elsewhere in regards to the new PL, but hey, if they dig for the gumph about their clients (yuck !) they will find.
surely the fun is in the digging ?

we don't want to focus on history. we want to focus on the future. let groups and people collate the content as they hunt through it. but it does take time. you can begin to see how the tagging works in that respect now :)
