• @tobiasreber Drone Forest tried to do it, we tried a couple of services & had no real luck, the fidelity was terrible + many lag artifacts. in reply to tobiasreber #
• I'm going to stop looking at filterbanks now. #
• Ummagumma. #
• Even though I've been using it a fair amount, I have to say the Line6 Pod 2 is a pretty crummy piece of equipment. I don't recommend it. #
• Man, there are a lot of guitars in this house, funny since I can't remember the last time I picked up one of them. #
• Except to move it out of the way. #
• @cinchel Hey, Mr. bicycler, can you recommend a bike pump that isn't a complete piece of total junk? I've bought three in the last 12 months #
• @cinchel Thanks! in reply to cinchel #
• @computerneix Thanks for the tweet Miquel! Forever escalating. in reply to computerneix #
• Gentle Giant on the turntable. #
• Have a ton of excess stuff, but can't be arsed to eBay it. #
• Boooom. Re-assembled the studio after the Junto concert, just improvised an inaugural drone that was exceptionally spiky. Fun fun fun fun #
• The Red Hot Chili Peppers are richer than the collected lifetime net worth of everyone reading this tweet. Think about how value is defined. #
• This person Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has a Wikipedia page, and you don't. Think about how value is defined. #
• A power-hungry, hollow puppet of a man has a 50/50 chance of becoming the most powerful man in the world. Think about how value is defined. #
• Zoroaster, obv. RT @MargaretAtwood OK, T-pals: How is ZOMG different from OMG, and what does the Z stand for? I know you will know! Thanks! #
• "Power Possessors know that dispute is death to the artist; so, they can do pretty much whatever they want to them" – R. Fripp #
• @benjamindauer Yes, reply to this so I'll remember to give you my reference page after I get home from work. in reply to benjamindauer #
• I will want to read this after work, I know you'll want to read it too: via @jinjurly RE proprietary licenses in CC 4.0 http://t.co/veeHmuMq #
• @larkinhavens Being in a class where no one participates is the pits. in reply to larkinhavens #
• @dpnem Congratulations! in reply to dpnem #
• @tobiasreber Occasionally a wise man, occasionally a stick in the mud. I suppose we could all aspire to be at least as much. in reply to tobiasreber #
• @Steve_Hamann I hesitate to comment since I haven't read it yet, but I skimmed it & suspect I'll disagree with it. in reply to Steve_Hamann #
• True. RT: @dpnem: @Steve_Hamann Plus, most netlabels and musicians really don't understand CC licenses. #
• Oh no… Blinky's dead. 🙁 RT: @99andBarry: RIP Blinky. http://t.co/c2AubGCV #
• @samgrinsell Can you expand on that thought? because I'm not sure I catch your drift, don't want to respond & be off. in reply to samgrinsell #
• @samgrinsell It sounds like we're pretty well in agreement. I have a few things to say on this topic in a bit. in reply to samgrinsell #
• @frauenfelder @boingboing Very sad to learn that Blinky the Clown has died today. http://t.co/S6FUzE9O #
• Ok, does anyone here actually agree with this thing about Creative Commons? http://t.co/cNkTkbsc #
• There is an assumption on the part of the blogger that people choose NC or ND for protection reasons. I don't think CC is about protection #
• At all. #
• Protection implies litigation… to me, anyway. That's the realm of copyright. #
• Has anyone ever tried to sue to defend their CC license? I'd be curious to hear it. #
• Perhaps the point I'm aiming for is that sure NC & ND are no more protective that the CC license in general-does that make them less useful? #
• I personally use an NC license, I am not a huge fan of the ND licenses, they make me grumpy, frankly, but it's up to the licensee innit? #
• Here's my reasoning: My license is CCBYNC if you want to use it for NC purposes you don't even have to ask, just do it, if $ is involved… #
• If $$ are involved then things are more complicated and perhaps we need to have an agreement with specificity. This is outside of CC. #
• If you want to get rid of NC, then does this mean commercial uses are allowed? That just does not make sense. #
• I have extricated myself from commercial music for a goddamned good reason. #
• I think the question of where the line is drawn between commercial and non-commercial use is a fair question-calls for MORE nuance, not less #
• Not every problem is a nail, so put away your goddamned hammer. #
• The 'commercial monopoly' argument is all well and good-hugs all around, but when someone's making money off your work and you're not…? #
• I assure you I am enabling no middlemen with my NC license. #
• "The ND clause is already the least popular, and discouraging remixing is obviously contrary to a free culture." I agree, and yet respect it #
• If you don't like the ND license, as I don't, and many of my peers don't… ENGAGE IN A DIALOGUE, don't just strip the license. #
• You need to approach this bottom up, not top down, assholes. #
• .@Le_Berger For me, I don't think that a derivative detracts from the original, it gives the original the ultimate compliment, actually. in reply to Le_Berger #
• See…? How fucking hard was that? #
• Totally fallacious argument that a CC license w/ NC or ND locks it into a hopeless dystopia forever. The OWNER OF THE LICENSE CAN CHANGE IT. #
• Well, I guess that article didn't agree with me at all. http://t.co/cNkTkbsc #
• @Le_Berger I tend to respect the artists' wishes with ND licenses, but respect doesn't mean I won't question it. in reply to Le_Berger #
• The larger culture is still proprietary and commercial, and you can't blame someone for not being as trusting as you are. #
• Creative Commons is a lever, not a hammer. #
• … and todays tweets mark further than I ever thought I'd go to defend the maligned ND license. #
• @DaveSeidel Oh, cool, did you meet Nina the other night? Her & Jeremy are cool folks. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @DaveSeidel I should've introduced you! They're not very social (I can relate to that) but they're good folks. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @jinjurly It seems your RT this morning sent me into a twitter-rant of much passion and a fair bit of grumpitude. #
• @jinjurly Yeah, the CC / copyright interface that transformative works need doesn't quite exist. In music they just brought the hammer down in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly … (2) so that now to do transformative works in music you almost have to do it pseudonymously / anonymously. So wrong. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly I think the widget makes it so much less confusing. If you can get someone to use it, answer the few questions, then there you go. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly It's possible I might be on board if there were a 'nudge' to choose a more open license as opposed to just nixing all nuance. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly I think we're all in agreement that those committed to CC need to do some more educating & proselytizing. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly Open licensing requires open dialogue. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly I dunno, I think the brief summary pages are pretty simple & understandable. The legal code isn't the first thing that comes up. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly Hard to disagree with that. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly Is there a lot of resistance to CC in fandom? in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly Yeah, so trying to trim down its proprietary bits is probably neither good nor bad from that perspective. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly I think an expansion is more warranted than a contraction though, that application is a good example. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly I think just talking about it in public as though it were a viable option is the only thing any one person can do. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly That falls into the same category as mashup / remixes in music that have to be "illegal" because licensing is so restrictive in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly Yeah, that's a conundrum. in reply to jinjurly #
• @benjamindauer OK, my reference material is dated… but I journaled my search for a pressing company. I'll look for the link… in reply to benjamindauer #
• @benjamindauer here you go: Feel free to add any info you have in comments: http://t.co/HQkMXdgJ in reply to benjamindauer #
• @benjamindauer I recommend calling EVERY company that does this, and talk to someone there & get a quote & get a feel for them. in reply to benjamindauer #
• @benjamindauer Lotsa crummy companies out there. in reply to benjamindauer #
• @Gurdonark Highly unlikely. in reply to Gurdonark #
• @cinchel Soon, I'm sure… how is that audio prep from denver show going @falsereactions? in reply to cinchel #
• OK, watch out now. I'm about to go into a retweet frenzy with some of the responses from my twitter rant yesterday about Creative Commons 4 #
• No don't refrain! RT @invisibleagent I'm going to refrain from throwing my thoughts out in the wild regarding "proprietary licenses" in #CC4 #
• .@gurdonark I reckon it'll take a lot more than a wiki, but that might be a good start. Archiving is essential. #
• @99andBarry Commie. in reply to 99andBarry #
• @Le_Berger Stop waiting for someone to yell "shotgun" on that one, dude. in reply to Le_Berger #
• Watermelon from the farmer's market. #
• *spit* #
• Lumpy has decided that watermelon is delicious. Lily is pretty sure Lumpy is bonkers. #
• What? http://t.co/fze8ptbY #
• I'm both confused and intrigued by @MarsCuriosity's sending sound back to Earth. Is this the most expensive aural filter ever conceived? #
• What was the point of included sound transmission capability on @MarsCuriosity? Is there a mic on board? Will we get Mars field recordings? #
• .@invisibleagent All art belongs to the culture, in some sense. The creator does have rights to control how they wish it to be used by it. #
• .@invisibleagent Unless you wish to never share it / destroy it before death, in which case licensing is moot. Least open license ever. #
• @invisibleagent Agreeing on all counts! in reply to invisibleagent #

• @saffronslumber Out loud ! in reply to saffronslumber #
• I had this weird imagination-romp after waking up of John Elway living forever from drinking fracking fluid. He had an electronic gizzard. #
• He ran a museum about his life. He was most famous for being the second man to have shot Reagan. #
• Then there was the thumbtack-piano saloon version of the ICP song where they wonder how fucking magnets work. #
• My brain, folks. #

• Big thanks to Zhang & Christiaan at @buddamachine for posting the Chan Fang Buddha Machine 3! It's playing nicely with Gristleism right now. #
• Maybe a sequel to the Buddha Reduction is in order! http://t.co/PYaHd4N8 #
• Oh crap, that new Swans is really damned good. #
• @sethchrisman It comes closer to portraying the crushingness of their live set than other studio LPs, I think. in reply to sethchrisman #
• Scott Gessler, the @ColoSecofState is a "threat to our constitutional rights" http://t.co/QVfSCyid #
• Good god this new Swans. #
• I have made a really damned good thai green curry with veggies from the garden & some grouper. #

• @tobiasreber Heh. A friend of mine had a band that did "goth rap" and another that did death metal songs about food. in reply to tobiasreber #
• "Uplinked and downlinked as data" – so the Mars Curiosity WAS simply used as the world's most expensive sonic filter. #
• Can I run some sound samples through the @marscuriosity filter? #
• @CPRverlee Thank you for your reporting aired today on Scott Gessler @ColoSecofState – Very important to put some sunlight on these actions. #
• @tobiasreber Europe may as well be another planet. Here, reason is not a factor. in reply to tobiasreber #
• Just read the new @djunto instructions. It IS an amazing turnaround that preparing a written score for release is being viewed as subversive #
• Philosophy class … I can tell I'm going to constantly be butting heads with the instructor because I am a skeptic of human exceptionalism. #
• Philosophy class (2) … On the other hand, he did end class by imploring students to find out what Labor Day is all about aside from BBQ. #
• @Le_Berger Yes. in reply to Le_Berger #

• "He bought a mood ring, but it remained permanently transparent" That David Brooks-of all people-dissed Romney as such makes it burn hotter. #

• @DaveSeidel I'm not sure I have a single piece of equipment that uses cv. Hm. in reply to DaveSeidel #
• @jinjurly I inferred as much. I prefer my trippelcest whilst drinking trippelbock. in reply to jinjurly #
• @jinjurly You'll have to rewire your whole audio system for trippelcest then! in reply to jinjurly #

• I'm wondering (in my geeky proggy way) why Caravan was ever classified as prog, they're really just a good pop band. #
• @Le_Berger King Crimson approached the same dynamic in the 70s, but Wetton / Fripp were fairly overwhelming sometimes too. in reply to Le_Berger #
• This is a prog album by my friend/ former DroneForest bandmate Dave Stafford @pureambient http://t.co/MYKhArji Lotsa rockin gweetar. nuffsed #
• @Gurdonark I think they were stuck w/ prog because they came from Canterbury during that specific time. in reply to Gurdonark #
• @Le_Berger Yes, it was really important to me then, but now I can't really listen to anything aside from the 70s stuff. in reply to Le_Berger #
• @Le_Berger I was around during the 70s, but I had to play catch up with music later. My early musical life is a very complicated story. in reply to Le_Berger #
