waffles invites

hey ichow I just got off the phone with our Dean of Admissions. he says "maybe."

***hint hint*** you might wanna check your inbox, bro-heem (^_~)

wow thanks, i really appreciate it. I haven't received the message and I tried sending a webmail to my account just to make sure that the issue wasn't with ilxor. would you mind sending it to the email associated with ichow222. the email just for reference is ianchow2✧✧✧@✧.northwest✧✧✧.e✧✧.

I think the reason its not working is because of this:
I heard from someone that waffle invites do not work when sent to hotmail, is this true?

Yes, that it true. You have to use Gmail to receive waffles invites or else a private mail service.

(All at Torrentech)

2a) In the BitTorrent world, ratio refers to the amount of data uploaded (or seeded) over the amount of data downloaded. A ratio of 2.0 means that you've seeded twice as much as you've downloaded. A ratio of 0.2 means you've downloaded five times as much as you've seeded. Seeding is what keeps BitTorrent afloat, so maintaining a good ratio is essential.
2b) I was not a member of OiNK. My ratio at Torrentech is 1.72.

3) It is almost impossible to think of a popular musical genre where African American culture has not played a central role. Although it's pretty much accepted nowadays that the early blues music laid down by figures like Mamie Smith and Blind Lemon Jefferson eventually (via Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry et al) became the foundation for later pop/rock musicians like the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan, it's still easy to take for granted how thoroughly African American culture is engrained in the popular musical imagination. Look beyond jazz, Motown and the very obvious modern hegemony of Hip Hop/R&B-derived sounds, and you can see its influence on everything from electronic dance music (techno, house and disco were all products of urban black culture) to country and bluegrass (they wouldn't exist without gospel spirituals and the banjo, both of which have Afro-American roots). Call-and-response, the pentatonic scale, and polyrhythm (to name but a few motifs of African American-inspired/derived music) have been and remain key elements of all aspects of popular music.

4b) Whitehouse - Dedicated To Peter Kürten (WDC 881010)

Scientist - Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The Vampires (GREL 25)
ESG - You're No Good (FAC 34)

5) Occasionally I read at the Philip Sherburne and Martin Clark columns on Pitchfork (glad they returned), but I don't read the reviews. In fact, since using a numerical system for judging music (down to the decimal point) is nonsensical at best, I'd say all of them are equally unjust.

6) If I picked Morrissey or Momus, I might actually be tempted to sit and listen to their music rather than devoting all of my energies and efforts to building a giant mirror made out of CDs to signal for help. Moby's not-insignificant cassette tape discography would also allow me to construct a raft with which to drift slowly back to civilization and my lovely music collection.

since we're talking numerical systems for judging, i give ur application 0.5/10

can u trade me a torrentech invite btw?

Sure, bring on the waffles.

1) I've never participated in a torrent site like this one before. I've been happy to just use Soulseek, but a friend of mine raved about Waffles, so I'm interested in checking it out. I fully intend to be a valued contributor.

2a) A ratio is "a relationship in degree or number between two similar things." In this case, those "similar things" are a user's uploaded and downloaded data. Ratios exist to ensure that users don't simply log in and take as much as they want without contributing.

2b) Never checked out OiNK, but I'm sure it was great.

3) I'm no expert, but at the very latest, black influence on American popular music began with the blues. It's possible that the spiritual songs of enslaved workers informed earlier musical forms. The blues continues to influence modern pop music, even musicians such as the Velvet Underground (for example) who tried to remove traces of the blues from their sound in order to differentiate themselves. As the century continued on, black musicians participated in most of the major developments in American popular music. (I assume you know what they are!) But black Americans didn't only influence American music; they also influenced music throughout the world. There would be no Mulatu Astatqe without Duke Ellington and his peers, and there would have been no Jimmy Cliff had there not been a Sam Cooke. And those artists have in turn influenced American artists, creating a better world in the process. *cue soaring choir*

5) What is the most unjust pitchfork numerical rating? Why? (five sentence minimum).
Who gives a shit about Pitchfork? (x5)

6) Moby's music does nothing for me. Momus is a better webboard participant than he is a songwriter. Morrissey on the other hand participated in four great records with the Smiths, and several decent albums as a solo artist. His has an amazing chin. He has a ton of style. Latino dudes and dudettes love him. What's not to like?

1) Manic Street Preachers - Journal for Plague Lovers (Remixes) (320 kbps mp3)
kent - Du & Jag Döden (FLAC)
Mew - Half the world is watching me (10-Track Version) (FLAC)

2a) A ratio is the result you get if dividing the amount uploaded by the amount downloaded
As in if I'd download 1 GB of Music, I'd need to upload 1 GB to keep it at an even 1.0.
If I want say a 3.2 ratio in this particular case you need to upload 3.2, if you dl 2 GB
- you need to up 6.4 GB to maintain that ratio.
You always strive for ratios better than 1.

2b) 1.3

3) What can I say. African American culture is more or less the root of everything musicwise.
You can find relations to everything from today's pop - which's pathway was pawed by the likes of
James Brown, Smokey Robinson, and the recently passed Michael Jackson. Without these artists,
music such as Justin, Britney (Not that that'd sadden me the least) - or any kind of Hip-Hop -
Would never have been able to be accepted and reach the masses. The black going into white people's
music I'd say began with Elvis, who's biggest influence was the Blues, which was up until then,
only for blacks. But gained respect in the white crowd, with the rise of Elvis.

4a)

Has to be albums or are singles + eps in the competition?

Albums Only

1. Muse - The Resistance - Album of the year until kent comes out
2. Mew - No more stories... - Well, they done it again...
3. New Moon OST - OST only, can't stand the Twilight series.
4. Morrissey - Years of Refusal - not Morrissey's best, but still a masterpiece.
5. Glasvegas - Glasvegas - album of the Year last year, released in Sweden, 18th October,
so barely made it, but I had to mention it.

w singles and EPs included:

1. kent - Töntarna
2. Glasvegas - A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss)
3. Muse - The Resistance
4. Mew - No more stories...
5. Manic Street Preachers - Journal for Plague Lovers (Remixes) (EP)

4b)

1979...

hard...

1. Michael Jackson - Off The Wall
2. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
3. The Clash - London Calling
4. Queen - Live Killers - my favourite live album from them without any competition.
5. Pink Floyd - The Wall

5) I'll have to go quite recent.

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13453-the-resistance/

Muse - The Resistance was given a meager 5.9 / 10

Why, because they out of some obscure reason despised everything muse did since Origin of Symmetry...

[quote]"So let's take the warm fuzzy bigness of the music at face value. It's understandable if the Buckley mannerisms
and Mercury multi-tracking on "The United States of Eurasia" aren't your cup of tea. You may cringe at the Pavlov-approved crescendos that surge through "Guiding Light", the sort of thing where you imagine a ProTools preset producers have nicknamed "10,000 People Holding up Bics They Bought Especially for the Concert."
And then there's "Exogenesis", the aforementioned "Symphony" in three parts.
Now a Daydream Nation style knowing "trilogy" this is not. There's massed strings.
There's half-time chest-beating theatrics ready for flashpots and Vegas set design.
If it's not quite Keith Emerson's territory-- or Celine Dion's, for that matter--
it's a similarly grandiose ballpark where the fans wear slightly different clothes. [[/quote]

And a music enjoyer's reply to this garbage:

Muse are stadium arena rock at its best. With influences such as Freddie Mercury,
paired with the intenseness of Matt's voice, how can you fail?
Sure it may be very much inspired by Bohemian Rhapsody - but in a worthy groovy kind of setup and performance.
And I'm sorry Bitchfork, but who on this earth with anything close to a brain,
and well possibly cleaned out ears would consider Jeff Buckley a bad influence?

Matt's greatest hero is the classical music composer - and moreso performer -
Rachmaninov - and - all hail Rock Music - but would it have existed
without the likes of Mozart and beethoven practising their pianos day and night -
and - making musical love to them - later inspiring Great Balls of Fire,
from a certain Jerry Lee Lewis. The Energy Prevails, through both Guiding Light -
and the 3 part symphony that kicks the shit out of any album's ending
till this day, bringing back memories of Jerry Lee hammering on Rachmaninovs piano,
leaving sweat marks on the first and last sets of keys - after dancing on the black and whites
to the heartbeats of Uprising. This is the album everyone dreams of getting to create.

6) Easy. Morrissey. I've grown up with his music, crying and sweating to "The last of the famous international playboys" -
Mr. Steven Patrick Morrissey.
Momus's music says nothing to me so I'll leave that at that. Moby gave me a veeery short dancefloor craze in the 90's - but despite being a anti-animaleater, like Morrissey, I don't think he'd give anything even close to satisfying my musical hunger
nor my internal lack but lustful need for Teenage Angst poetry. Supplied better than by noone other than Morrissey. All the way from wanting to die as a teenager just from boredom, and molding the likes of Manic Street Preachers, esp Richey. - to
living in America, while doing a song on how much better England and Ireland are - in an amusing and very sarcastic expression - Only Morrissey can walk that mile.

jooeyman, buddy, have you ever heard of Frank Hutchison? Darby & Tarlton? Dock Boggs? Your knowledge of early American pop music seems to be woefully undeveloped, and that just won't fly on Waffles. Tell ya what, if you write me an essay (6 sentences minimum)(HINT: do at least 8 sentences) on the early history of white country blues, I'll pretend you never made such an ignorant fool of yourself, and you might have a fighting chance of joining the Waffles community just in time for Hallowaffleen. Deal?

I'll give it a shot, here goes:

In the 1960's the greatness of the blues, was discovered by white American and European musicians.
Quite a few of these blues-inspired bands became legends.
Many of these are well-renowned and known to many still today.
Bands such as The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Canned Heat, Cream and The Yardbirds made the blues appeal to young white audiences, something that black blues artists had yet not been able to do in America.
With the exception of white crossover covers of black rhythm and blues songs. Such as Frank Hutchison - already recording in the early 1920's - and thus considered the first white man to record the blues. Soon to be followed by Darby & Tarlton - who with their songs "Birmingham Jail" and "Columbus Stockade Blues", coupled on one record, managed to sell more than 200 000 copies.

Rock has since the 1960's undergone several quite a few blues revivals.
For example Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and even Eddie Van Halen - are inspired by the blues
- and used it as a foundation for their own offshoot styles. With this inspiriring generations to listen to
as well as to play the blues.

=D

Thank You, Thank You! *Bows to the Waffle Master*

So is there any chance that I can expect some waffle in my mailbox?

Please - Send it to jooeyman (at) mail (dot) com

Thanks a lot!
