thanks donut. i think if it's still at its current state when i get to '60, i'll just use all those tracks and go from there.

― rgeary (rgeary), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 05:11 (twenty years ago) link

well, maybe just for courtesy sake, you should okay it with N*ck Dastoor or just let him know, if you're gonna use those pass-around tracks... that's just me, tho

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 05:51 (twenty years ago) link

oh of course. this is gonna be like mid-2007 at the rate i'm going anyway!

― rgeary (rgeary), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 05:57 (twenty years ago) link

so, who am i going to pay for a complete set?
and how much?

― todd swiss (eliti), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:05 (twenty years ago) link

Depending on the income/computer savvy of the ILM community, I think DVD-Rs are the way to go for assembling the final C700GO box set, which I long ago volunteered to act as the central hub for, once this is all finished. Matos and I have been forgetting to send each other discs for over a month now, so, who knows how long it would take me to get them all together (sending mine this week M).

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:11 (twenty years ago) link

Assuming each year is not exactly 700MB, you could fit up to seven years per DVD-R.. six at worst. (unless you're mental like and do a 2XCD-R for a given year).

Between the 1920s, 1959 through 2003, this would be an 8 DVD-R box set, I'm guessing.. nothing too unmanageable. (Now, we just have to wait til they make DVD-R CD players)

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:16 (twenty years ago) link

I figured we could be like Apple and jump the curve, since most desktop PCs retail w/ dual DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives, if not a combo unit. Wouldn't want to leave a chunk of the community in the dark, but, since they're MP3s, you'd have to have an MP3 CD Player to treat them as true C700 mixes, and even then the encoding rates are usually sacrificed for track stuffin' completist joy.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:20 (twenty years ago) link

There'd have to be DVD-R "patches" to this thing of course, as the Mine The Gap comps, and the alternate year comps come in, too.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:24 (twenty years ago) link

UPGRADE OR DIE.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:32 (twenty years ago) link

and you can play dvd-r's on new dvd players, so that could be manageable.

― todd swiss (eliti), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:35 (twenty years ago) link

"Hey, honey, let's slip in the early to late 70s DVD-R on shuffle mode and listen to 56 hours of music tonight.... aw yeah"

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:38 (twenty years ago) link

that would be ideal.

― todd swiss (eliti), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:41 (twenty years ago) link

Do DVD players have a blipvert mode where they'll play 1/10th of a second of each media file in one big concatenous mind fuck sequence?

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:43 (twenty years ago) link

Someone should call Markus Popp to "invent" a machine to do this for his next epic.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 06:44 (twenty years ago) link

i dont even know how to respond, well done db.

He'll just use the binary values of this thread to program the next one, and we can start the obligatory thread: Oval's 010010101110101: C/D?

Andrew/Donut Bitch: just realized that I never posted my C700 Go! 1986: You must have heard the cautionary tale. The tracklisting is here.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:28 (twenty years ago) link

1877 Go!

1. Thomas Edison - Mary Had a Little Lamb
2. Smithsonian Institution - Random scratchy, primitive recording of a waltz famous in 1877, as recorded in 1905.
3. Smithsonian Institution - Random scratchy, primitive recording of a field holler famous in 1877, as recorded in 1905.
4. John Phillip Sousa - Dixie (Extended Dance Remix)

...

119. Smithsonian Institution - Another Random scratchy, primitive recording of a waltz famous in 1877, as recorded in 1905.
120. Rutherford P. Hayes - Inauguration Speech.

quick, what should tracks 5 - 118 be?

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:40 (twenty years ago) link

Duh, all the outtakes of tracks 1-4, and 119-120.. in wav file format, of course.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:42 (twenty years ago) link

Hahahahahaha!
1877 Box Set, Here I come!

Also: Thomas Inkeep...that mixdisc looks sweet. Would you like to swap?

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:44 (twenty years ago) link

Omicron: I'd be happy to do so; email me privately.

― Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:52 (twenty years ago) link

Okay. email has been sent.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 20:07 (twenty years ago) link

what's great about the 1877 one is that in order to mass manufacture cylinders a band would have to re-record the same song every single time for each copy. so in a sense, there really ARE all those outtakes, probably!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 20:16 (twenty years ago) link

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 20:23 (twenty years ago) link

But what about all the civil war protest punk rock bands from 1877?

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 22:54 (twenty years ago) link

Well, I guess post-civil war.. haha.. oops

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 22:56 (twenty years ago) link

all right, all the completed cdrgo's have now been backed up off ILX...(haha, just in case our friend "Steve" over in ILE is successful in "teaching us a lesson" re: linking his PRIVATE pics)

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 07:52 (twenty years ago) link

Oh wow -- not as much overlap with Strongo's as I expected.

"Distortions"--YES!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Thursday, 19 February 2004 23:22 (twenty years ago) link

But what about all the [post]civil war protest punk rock bands from 1877?
Makes me wonder who the Johnny Rotten of the late 1800s was? And how Scott Joplin would look with a mohican.

one month passes...

BUMP

(I'm working on getting out copies of 1978, 1988, and 1991 to those of you. Sorry for straggling)

Mainly, I'm beginning work on the site (now that I'm on vacation). I wouldn't expect anything for a while here, but for those of you who asked to do a year and haven't gotten it done yet (*AHEM* various 60s years, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1983, etc.) and still want to, I'd start now. Because once the site is up, submissions from the public for any year will be allowed, and this means whoever gets the comp for an undone year done first gets the first slot (i.e. has the default page for that year.) First come, first serve.

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 11 April 2004 04:02 (twenty years ago) link

To clarify: I will still give the default page for a given year to the person who originally requested it if he/she gets it done by "then" (i.e. when the site is ready... i'll be giving warnings here for sure), since he/she originally asked for it. But after the site is up and is ready for public consumption, the race begins for any undone years. (and anyone who wants to a CDRGO for any year he or she chooses can start at any time)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 11 April 2004 04:07 (twenty years ago) link

haha! i just picked this up to work on it again this week! ('59)

― rgeary (rgeary), Sunday, 11 April 2004 04:08 (twenty years ago) link

three months pass...

ok, so i'm resuming work on cdrgo.org. it will be a while, but at this rate, if anyone has gone AWOL on an unfinished year for CDR Go!, I kinda reserve the right to reassign the year to anyone else at this point, since it's been a while.. unless you can tell me that you've done enough work to warrant finishing it...

(Note: I'm willing to help collaborate with anybody if they're stragglin')

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 20 July 2004 17:13 (nineteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

I just finished 1967. Will be posting track details shortly as soon as I finish the art. I've already started in on 1962

How do i go back after i have set up my xanga and do my music?

― DAVID GREENHILL, Wednesday, 4 August 2004 07:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I am starting work on CDR 700MB Go! 1975: Tasty Licks and All That Traffic Twaddle.

That McCoy Tyner album's pretty good.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Saturday, 7 August 2004 21:57 (nineteen years ago) link

ALL YOU CDRGO STRAGGLERS...

EXPLAIN THYSELVES

NOW!

OR YOUR YEAR WILL GO TO SOMEONE ELSE!

(I'll leave Elvis and Daddino alone, since he just finished 1967; and he just started 1975 -- respectively.)

― lhasa apso buttermilk hole, Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:30 (nineteen years ago) link

(...meaning you can still do your year, whenever you get it done, but yours will not be the first page for that year. anyone can do any year, remember.)

HEY WAIT WHO ARE YOU

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 13:59 (nineteen years ago) link

you should know, Ned. You saw me bust out my moves in that latest S. Puppy killa video... just because i'm not one with the sun doesn't mean I can't decimate the funky worm and sit n' spin....

mofo....

and the reason for the call for stragglers is that i've actually been getting a lot of outside interest in the site actually running.. that is outside this forum.... believe it or not. (also, i mentioned that i will continue to keep this thread alive under these half-assed monikers until the site is out the door-ah

Did anyone ever compile DVD-Rs of this whole thread? Just wondering; there are still mixes here I'd love to hear sometime.
