Re: Reinassance
 

If the song is titled with "Vultures" (I'm sure you're right), fine.

But if they were describing the culture of vulture (isn't there a Alan Parsons record called Vulture Culture?) then could it acceptable to say the Vulture Fly High?

Just being totally anal for no reason.:p

Re: Re: Reinassance
 

In a perfect world, with perfect english usage, I'd have to chime in with an emphatic "no", since while, as a unit, it would be known as a "culture" (in this example), you're still referring to a plural in reference to "vulture" (ie vultures). Some examples:

A Pride of Lions
A Gaggle of Tittering Teenagers
A Wunch of Bankers

Like you ever need a reason? I mean REALLY, I created the word "anality" with you in mind.

Re: Re: Re: Reinassance
 

Roger you shouldn't look at teenagers like that (especially the boys).

As Ian Gillian said "a common cunning linguist, a master of many tongues".

That's art, baby!

I don't look at teenagers. I prefer my ladies a bit more like my wife.

Should the album Offramp, which is now attributed to Pat Metheny, be attributed to Pat Metheny Group? Just wondering...

I'm not sure. I think I'll defer the judgement call on that one to Jim.

Roger -Dot- Lee, if'n it ain't Yes....

As long as we're consistent with all Pat Metheny - although I think this is the only one I've added so far - they all should be either with or without the Group.

OK, bearing that in mind, I'll set it up to be with (in case he does some other solo projects without).

Of course, this is a completely arbitrary decision and certainly not etched in diamond. I'll go ahead and update the album with the appropriate name when I get home this evening.

Yeah, I was thinking that same thing and that's why I posted it. "Pat Metheny" and "Pat Metheny Group" would be the same problem as "King Crimson P2" and "King Crimson PROJEkCT TWO" - that being that SAM would recognize them as totally seperate artists.

Yeah but
 

you can find them really easy.

Only if you want Metheny nuts RQing two tracks one after the other. :D

Never thought of that. If you say, limit Metheny by himself to one song per solar year, and the Pat Metheny Group to one song per crescent moon, then you could say Lyle Mays could not play on Wednesdays, unless he played with Trey Gunn in ProjEcTKtKT23854523.6, then you have to limit it to say three times per solstice, and...............................

Thank you for illustrating my point about the Yes/Conspiracy/ABWH thing.

In any situation......
 

one can take an example to the extreme. No matter what the subject may be, there are always things you can say that will be absurd.

I was actually illustrating that point (and being goofy)....and that any limits set can always be circumvented if one is malicious or persistent enough.

In my view, laws and restrictions are needed under two circumstances....1) all other avenues have been exhausted, and 2) there is proper enforcement.

But this is a reply for another thread and another day.

Any connection to your point Spaz is purely coincidental. The typist regrets the similarity.

Don't let it happen again, or we'll force you to sit through VM and me discussing heavy duty geekery in white. No 10-100 breaks.

Or tie you to your chair while Spaz is in DJ mode.

Nothing can be worse than...
 

being 7 years old and hearing Bloodrock's "DOA" or being forced to watch "Dark Shadows".

While digging for the album cover for Supersister's "Superstarshine," I noticed a few corrections that need to be made. First of all, it seems the album is called "Superstarshine, Vol. 3" rather than "Superstarshine." There is not Vol. 1 or 2. I think it's a joke by the band, the same way that the ska band Five Iron Frenzy named their second album "Our Newest Album Ever," and some band whose name escapes me at the moment named their debut album "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2."

Secondly, some of the song titles are different. Here are the titles on AM:

Gonna Take Easy
WOW live recording

and here are the actual titles I found and several different sites:

(I'm) Gonna Take Easy
Wow (The Intelligent Song)




Also, I know it's the wrong thread, but there are 9 songs on the album, and only 7 on AM. Were they missed accidently or purposely excluded? Too crappy to play or are we missing some gems? Anyway, the songs are:

A Girl Named You (10:07)
No Tree Will Grow (7:38)

just a lazy typo
 

Return to Forever's "Beyond the Seventh Galaxy" just played, only it said "Beyond the Seventh Galazy." I'm pretty sure there's NOTHING lazy about Return to Forever.

In the same vein as Pat Metheny,
 

Steve Morse's solo stuff is under both "Steve Morse" and "Steve Morse Band".

Also, r.l, Reinassance may have slipped past the radar... it hasn't been changed.
