For the Utena Step
|
|
Well because I have the time and the music I was thinking about the Utena step fragment that was posted just a little bit ago. This song came up in my player and I thought it might make a good theme for Akio. "Theme to a Fake Revolution" - Powerman 5000
Lyrics at www.lyricstime.com/lyrics/54332.html Shawn Earl 
Hm... maybe not just Akio but all the rest of the Student Council.
I think I'm going to have to go find myself a Powerman CD now... Once I hit two songs I want/have on MP3, it's time to recompense the artist. -- Bob --------- There is no spork.
Because the thread is here I'll just add another suggestion. This would be a theme for Utena and Anthy in my mind at least.
"Do This Anymore" - Nickelback lyrics at www.nickelback.com/LBDoThisAnymore.php Shawn Earl
Okay, add a Nickelback CD to that order, so I can figure out what this sounds like...
-- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus.
You might want to try something along the lines of iTunes Bob that way you're not possibly buying a whole cd for one song. Plus I love the 30 sec preview of a song that iTunes provides. Then I'm bias since I love the service.

On general principles I am refusing to patronize any and all DRM-laden systems, so iStuff is out.
-- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus. 
Que est 'DRM?' I'm usually pretty good at decoding acronyms, but that one's got me stumped.
- CD -- "Anko, what you do in your free time is your own choice. Use it wisely. And if you do not use it wisely, make sure you thoroughly enjoy whatever unwise thing you are doing." - HymnOfRagnorok as Orochimaru at SpaceBattles woot Med. Eng., verb, 1st & 3rd pers. prsnt. sg. know, knows
"Digital Rights Management". Different people use the term to mean different things, but it is inextricably involvd with the massive ongoing conflict about copyright and its enforcement in the communications age.
Okay... why does this make iEtcetera offensive, then?

Digital Rights Management, and the Digital Millenium Copyright Act are all about various intellectual property holders getting their share of your pocketbook, with or without your active permission and consent.
The DMCA was all about supposedly guaranteeing that just because the internet made it really easy to transfer data, you still couldn't do it without paying for it. Of course, *proving* you did anything wrong is the big stopping point there, and is where the Record Industry Association of America has been throwing its weight around. Over the last year or so, RIAA has been trying to make ISP providers personally responsible for what anyone on their site does with their resources. That's why these ISP's are fighting the writs the RIAA is giving them demanding the identities of people who used ther service on such-and-such a date. This suddenly turns the ISP into a Big Brother-esque monitor on your internet activity. Where you went, what you did, your entire daily internet traffic. All up for grabs to the first person to come along with a signed warrant. The ISP's refute this, stating that they simply provide a service, and aren't responsible for what the people who use it do with it. Like a terrorist placing a phone call to another terrorist, you can't expect Ma Bell to be monitoring the phone call and writing down names. But in the RIAA's case, that's *exactly* what they expect ISP's to be doing. And the ISP's are fighting back. Vigorously. Supporting these DRM-based sites is basically another way to passively throw your vote in with organizations that want to restrict everything. Like the guy who copyrighted the "Happy Birthday" song (I'm not kidding. Anytime you hear that in a movie, he's getting royalties), the ambition is to turn any possible "intellectual property" into something someone somewhere can use to generate money with. And the DRM movement is designed to help make that possible. So when the people who support DRM go to the courts and hold up the lists of their users as proof that *this* many people support Digital Rights Management, signing onto their service just adds one more name to that list. And you *know* they'll use you as a passive vote *for* the DMCA, and not pay you a dime for it, don't you? So who's getting screwed here? Certainly not them...
Now I'm sorry I posed about the issue since I wasn't expecting it to be so hot. Might I suggest area of the board for this discussion to continue if people want to continue it.
Shawn Earl Quote:Actually, it's two sisters, and the reason they copyrighted it is that they wrote it -- see here. People seem to think that it's been part of Western Culture since the Ancient Greeks first sang it, but no, it was written a little more than a hundred years ago. (The copyright's lasted this long because the sisters got ripped off by a Tin Pan Alley songwriter and didn't get the renewed rights back until 1935, and it's been grandfathered in under the various extensions ever since.) I have no problems with artists getting the reward they've earned. I have great problems with the recording industry, who rip off the people on either end of the production line. (I'm not just parroting the P2P people either here. I have family connections in the recording industy, both writers and performers.) Reps and members of the industry have repeatedly made it clear that their ultimate goal is the nickel-and-diming of every music listener everywhere -- charging for each and every play, as much as the traffic will bear. Quote:DRM is the tool of choice right now to ensure that the poor, impoverished record companies do not go bankrupt because they are not getting paid by the thieving American public. (No, I don't feel strongly about this. Why do you ask?) -- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus.
Oh, and you're quite right, K. I should have put this over in a new thread in General/General. I guess I'll have to ban myself.
-- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus.
It's ok Bob I won't report you to the admin's
 . Anyway my music collection and mind won't stop. So to get back on track with this thread here is another song for the Utena step. "Revolution" - P.O.D. lyrics at www.sandralyrics.com/p/po...ution.html I see most of it for a fight scene but I'm not really a great judge of something. So enjoy. Shawn Earl
I would say thatI like the idea of "Won't Get Fooled Again" in an Utena step, but the line 'In with the new boss/same as the old boss' really frightens me in that context.

Anthy and Dios were full blood siblings, and the fact that Akio is an EEEEEEEE-vil ratf$%er wouldn't change that in the slightest. Therefore, genetically speaking, the single person in all the world closest to being the same as Akio would be... Anthy. Blessed be. -n (A-ko: WHAT... is your quest? *shadow image A-ko in ratty robes, screen left* (B-ko: To prove my love for the Ends of the Earth! *shadow image of Utena, in Sir Whatshisname's visor with the flip-up helmet, screen right* (A-ko: WHAT... is the air velocity of an unladen swallow?

Oooooh, Nathan, I have stuff I haven't shared with the prereaders yet. You'll be surprised.
I may steal that shadowgirl scene, though... -- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus. Quote:I just ducked over there to look at the lyrics and I find them... intriguing. I've just stuck a copy into the development file for DW-RGU. Quick question -- the MP3 link at the bottom, is that live? I'm at work and don't want to click it, but if it's live I'm going to grab a copy and listen to it tonight. Quote:I'll have to listen to it and see. What's interesting is that the last couple times I've listened to "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence I've started to see that as fight music for the final confrontation between Akio and Utena... -- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus. Quote:With some of the new ideas that I';ve come up with, this is so frighteningly appropriate that I may just use it. What do you think, Josh, given the discussion we had around New Year's? -- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus.
Cool i'm glad you got good vibes from it. I don't know if the mp3 link is active or not. When I look for lyrics I normally just do a google search and try to pick a site that doesn't have a ton of ads poping out.
Shawn Earl Quote:Stay away from it. I just went there, tried it and nothing seemed to happen. So I looked at the page source. It tries to install (silently) an executable on your machine if you have IE -- something called "download.mp3.exe", but who knows what it really does? Fortunately, ZoneAlarm and Mozilla locked it down hard and I didn't get anything. -- Bob --------- There's no wrong way to eat a Rhesus. Quote:Ermmm... Glad to help...

I liked the simple DRM hack around iTunes - download the song, burn to Audio CD, then rip to mp3 using a 3rd party program.

It seems I'm on a music misson for this part of the walk. Anyways here's another song I see more for Anthy.
