Any means of acquiring a digital copy of Saw Mill Man by Cast King. Someone help!

what "tbrr" means

anatol_merklich, Thursday, 30 January 2020 16:48 (four years ago) link

i have always wondered too

i have decided on "to be really real"

But guess what? Nobody gives a toot!šŸ˜‚ (Karl Malone), Thursday, 30 January 2020 16:49 (four years ago) link

That is correct

GK Chessington's World of Adventure (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 30 January 2020 16:53 (four years ago) link

good to know! this is why i occasionally use tbrrrrr, to emphasize my point

But guess what? Nobody gives a toot!šŸ˜‚ (Karl Malone), Thursday, 30 January 2020 16:54 (four years ago) link

Can't have too many rs tbrrrrrrrrrr with you

GK Chessington's World of Adventure (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 30 January 2020 16:56 (four years ago) link

Ah, thanks, I was considering "to be right real", which wasn't too far off then.

anatol_merklich, Thursday, 30 January 2020 17:00 (four years ago) link

i can't believe i was right about "to be really real" - that's always been a wild guess that i never bothered to confirm

but the proof is in the pudding: ABBREVS

A good-quality image of the painting from Ghostbusters II without Vigo in it? I'd settle for an Amazon Prime screenshot from anyone who subscribes to it.

I have no idea if anything of the kind exists but if it does and anyone can hip me: a relatively comprehensive/obsessive discography of '60s girl group singles?

Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Thursday, 2 April 2020 14:31 (four years ago) link

it seems like the kind of thing that should be there

Karl Malone, Thursday, 2 April 2020 14:34 (four years ago) link

evidence of that thing they had in the shopko music department in the 90s, where you could press a button and cue up the latest alernative nation-y video of your choice. I think tmbg's "snail shell" may have been one of them?

geoffreyess, Thursday, 2 April 2020 15:55 (four years ago) link

Old Lunch, this article scratches the surface but also has a pretty extensive list of sources:

wow! i've never seen that website. just skimmed that article now, and it seems decent!

Karl Malone, Thursday, 2 April 2020 16:13 (four years ago) link

Whoa, thanks Albert! Yeah, there's some opportunities for deep digging in there.

the ads for Joker rolling papers they used to play on 96 Rock back in the day

Joey Corona (Euler), Thursday, 2 April 2020 20:03 (four years ago) link

there was a box set of girl group singles released on cd in the early 00s? i think a friend copied it for me but i don't remember what it's called

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 April 2020 21:19 (four years ago) link

that was not very helpful but i know what you are looking for exists!

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 2 April 2020 21:19 (four years ago) link

oh yeah! i was working in a cd store when that came out! i was too young and dumb to realize how good it would be, so i never put it on to listen to at the time! i probably sold it to some cool person though

time to learn from the mistakes of my past and listen now!

When I was a college DJ several thousand years ago, these Romulan comps were pretty fun (at least the early ones were, I had no idea there were so many editions):

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 2 April 2020 23:39 (four years ago) link

Yes, One Kiss Can Lead to Another is pretty much my favorite compilation of all time. But thank you for evoking it!

This period of isolation might be the time for me to finally compile my tracklisting for the unofficial follow-up, This Would Be the Second Kiss I Alluded to Previously. I'm certain that I have enough top-notch material on-hand. The world of girl groups is bottomless and almost entirely wonderful!

Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Thursday, 2 April 2020 23:41 (four years ago) link

The Girls in the Garage comps are likewise great.

I have hundreds of these things but I know that thousands exist. I'm looking for the hundreds and hundreds that I don't have.

Where is the Paul K & The Weathermen thread on ILM?

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 10 April 2020 03:19 (four years ago) link

A CD EP of electronic ambient music from around 1993 that had maybe three tracks on it including one long (20-30 minute) song called something like Rainbows Over The Happiest Man On Earth. Purchased for Ā£1 in Mr. CD on Berwick St. IIRC.

It was in a standard jewel case and had a red cover with perhaps a yellow oval design in the center. I can't recall the artist's name.

this incredibly detailed and engrossing account of a european guy who took the trans-siberian railway to pyongyang, it was one of my favorite things online and i fear it's gone

sorry - what's the best all-purpose Garden/plants thread on ILX?

(this is one of those situations where it would be so nice to be able to see the total number of posts per thread in the Search Results, or to see the last date that they were updated. there are so many threads related to plants and gardens)

there was a TV documentary about this case but I can't find any trace of it online, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might go about finding it?

I think it was posted here. There was a good story about an indie band playing with Marilyn Manson in the early 90s before he was thing and the weirdness that went with it.

A video of the Rotating Kitchen by Zeger Reyers, but it was filmed from inside the kitchen, so from the camera's POV everything in the room was just inexplicably hurling itself around

can anybody tell me who wrote this:

Any invective to paint is as good as any other.

i have a feeling that it's breton but i can't find anything online. maybe it was my own translation, and the "official" translation is worded differently ? i'm at a total loss.

budo jeru, Friday, 10 July 2020 23:51 (three years ago) link

It's not invective, it's incentive. Google has a few hits; seems most likely to be Robert Rauschenberg.

there is one goofy tv commercial actor I donā€™t know the name of... he was in a credit card commercial that took place in an airport, with him bragging to his colleague that he knows where in the airport to find a three prong plug... he looks kinda like a really dumb Harrison Ford. I donā€™t know why I care about this.

a free audio file converter (specifically FLAC >>> AIFF for playing lossless music on iTunes) that doesn't strip the files of metadata in the conversion process (?)

does fre:ac strip metadata?
