Garage Band free with new macs. I bought mine in September. I hate life.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 20:30 (twenty years ago) link

Okay seriously this Garage Band shit is making me not want to come to work ever again, just the concept of it

I think my girlfriend is going to be mad at Apple

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 20:43 (twenty years ago) link

that garage band demo was the biggest joke ever. jobs was acting like all this technology (guitar amps, softsynths, etc) were apple's innovations!!

and the mini ipod thing is a HUGE bust. $249 for 4 gigs or $299 for 15? well duh. you didn't need to make it SMALLER apple, you needed to make it CHEAPER. $149 for a 1 gig model would've broken the market wide open.

hugely disappointing.

biggest joke ever for how much money again with total integration in OS X? I was seriously about to go plunk down the cash for SoundTrack about two weeks ago. Thank goodness I ordered a microwave instead. I'm excited.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 20:48 (twenty years ago) link

oooh is that garage band thing good?

― david. (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 20:57 (twenty years ago) link

I am going to be finding out and will get back to you with an album or two

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:01 (twenty years ago) link

1) I one day will have a tiny blue ipod so I can complete my transformation into totally gay trustfund ivy leaguer.
2) I swear to god if that goddamned computer shows up at my apartment this weekend, it's going out the same window the soup went out.

Ally, the first step of turning yourself into a robot is to carry around a computer everywhere.

step two: jay-z as your boyfriend

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:06 (twenty years ago) link

Dude, black people are AUTOMATICALLY robots! No wonder all the cool kids want to be us!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:08 (twenty years ago) link

i'm sorry if this is a stupid question but i'm stupid: but what does that garage band thing do? is it like having a 64-track? + lots of synth modules and stuff. (i know so little about making music on a computer).

― david. (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:11 (twenty years ago) link

Once you install it, it starts sulking in the background of your desktop playing loud, out-of-tune angstmusik at inconvenient times. When you power down, it shouts, "Aww, c'mon, five more minutes?" before kicking the nearest window and muttering "Fascist" under its breath.

Yes folks, the standard lineup, it starts with a bass drum and ends with a TB303. Where is the sample of the Flash Gordon opening dialogue? You tell me.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:21 (twenty years ago) link

Hence FIRST STEP!

Step 1: Carry computer.
Step 2: Date Jay-Z (optional).
Step 3: Have body parts replaced by cybernetic servos and microprocessors.
Step 4: Get hi-top fade/mocha braids.

INSTANT ROBOT.

Haha now I have that godawful remix in my head.

xpost Dan Step 2 is not optional.

You don’t even have to have rhythm.

That's very impressive, dear. Well done.

Dude, they have mentats?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:36 (twenty years ago) link

BTW am I the only person here who thinks "iLife" is a really fucking creepy name for anything?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:38 (twenty years ago) link

Better than "Windows ME"

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:39 (twenty years ago) link

I am going to move to a cave with no electricity.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:43 (twenty years ago) link

ME is not pronounced as the word "Me", it is pronounced as an acronym, M-E. Because it stands for Millennium Edition. What the hell does "iLife" stand for? At least Windows, as horrifying as Windows is in general, had some kind of excuse for their creepy Big Brothery name. I mean, "iLife"!! "Haha you will never go more than a half hour away from this machine AGAIN!" Honestly these things make me want nothing to do with a computer and one day I will make this a reality in my life.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:43 (twenty years ago) link

It's so fucking Matrix. I don't trust anything with a name like that.

Okay you are all correct I will just pitch the laptop out the window when I get home.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:46 (twenty years ago) link

windows me always makes me think of M-E.

― david. (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:46 (twenty years ago) link

Still one of design's greatest moments, that Spencer ad.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:47 (twenty years ago) link

Like the computer would allow that. It'd go all HAL on your ass. There's only one way to stop it...

Also Spencer that's really fucking creepy, don't they actually have oxygen bars in LA?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:48 (twenty years ago) link

Ally, do you hate the boardgame "Life" also? And the cereal? Because I am fond of both and don't want them pitched out windows, unless I'm standing under the window with my arms outstretched and ready.

Indeed!

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:53 (twenty years ago) link

I was just thinking about the boardgame Life actually. Me and my mom were discussing a game, a game with prizes, a gambling game, and I said I did not want to win a house in Arizona. She said, "Well, you can sell them" and I said, "No, you are stuck with them, it is like the gift of life, there's no way out" to which she said, "Jesus, god, wtf is wrong with you today?" And I then asked her if she had my box of the game LIFE. She said no, but she had a copy of Frampton Comes Alive if I wanted it. I kind of don't, you know? Especially since it's vinyl. I told her it's not what the kids like. I haven't had the cereal in a long time though, I can't remember if it's good or not.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:53 (twenty years ago) link

Creating gay and lesbian couples in a game of LIFE is most fun.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:55 (twenty years ago) link

dude, you f*cked up by not getting the Frampton.

xpost

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:56 (twenty years ago) link

getting the Frampton

My euphemistic mind starts pondering.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:57 (twenty years ago) link

No, Ned, it's not. Most fun is getting bored halfway through and getting up and walking away cos, fucking A, yet again you've somehow landed on every possible way to get pregnant! Your car has so many children that it is overflowing with children and it's not funny now because you can't keep them in the car and everyone is laughing at you. So instead you get up, take the little plastic Strega Nona's children-maker, and force feed it to the dog that just threw up on you. That is the most fun, Ned. At least if you are me and you were 8.

xpost the Frampton is still on offer, you want it Spencer?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 21:58 (twenty years ago) link

It involves a guitar and a vibrating tube.
