The FSOL Message Board

fsol's a bit of an exception for me. with the exception of the tracks cascade / lifeforms / we have explosive / smokin japanese babe / my kingdom (no idea why these ones stuck out) i don't think i could name any other tracks from the LPs.. although I could sing pretty much every note and recreate ev...

Blu Mar Ten has some crazy valid points but those are some (special) cases -- involving piracy and stuff... If the piracy / internet wave renames your track - that new name stays forever :) well i guess the point i was trying to make was that people were correcting what they believed to be errors, ...

Assuming you'd have a reason to question it in the first place, right?

So I guess the question is: Is the file naming & id3 tags from Brian or Graham ? Well only in this particular case, as you happen to have easy access to the artist. More broadly that wouldn't be the case. Here's something for you to ponder. A couple of albums back whoever ripped the first pirat...

i think the point is intent. 99.999% of the time you can't have this open dialogue with a creator so you can't clarify how much was intended and how much you're projecting.

haha i can see why, but it has a certain retro-charm.. and i enjoyed in context at the time of release so I don't view it as a parallel work
