im sure there will be an option to re download music you've already purchased, if these tapes are indeed online only purchases

The whole "cloud" thing bothers me...
I don't want any of my life or stuff "out there" where it's "held hostage" and PAY for that.
The whole thing shmacks of Orwellian conspiracy.
Central Scrutinizer INDEED!

Keep as much of your life OFF the internet people!

K - then store it all at home, experience a tornado/fire/hurricane and lose it all.

I don't like to keep copies of any music, since one good sunspot will cause earthquakes that will topple my building, and sink my town, and the accompanying EMP blast will wipe out the "cloud" and all electronic files.

It's great until the website goes broke ha ha.

Naw, digital files are handy but temporary. They should be priced accordingly.

That actually happened to me with the cloud backup service I used prior to CrashPlan. They gave me several months to grab whatever I needed before they went under. I would expect other type services to do the same....

Somebody Fairly Smart Predicts Cloud Trouble

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says beware cloud computing
http://digitaljournal.com/article/330330

Mega Upload is a case in point....founder Kim Dot Com (a German born NZ citizen) is in a little trouble at the moment.

The NZ government, acting on information from the FBI, ordered the NZ police to launch an armed raid on his home and seize a bunch of evidence which, for some reason, included all his big boys toys. The massive (by NZ standards) raid and subsequent seizures were later deemed to be totally illegal. The news media have shown television coverage of the raid, which was complete overkill for a man at home with his family and a few friends. It now turns out that our secret police (the SIS) were also spying on the guy, which under NZ law is illegal. The SIS claimed they didn't know he was a NZ citizen. When Kim Dot Com became a New Zealander he celebrated with a, televised by the news media, huge fireworks display from the sky tower, our tallest building in Auckland our largest city, which the SIS apparently were unaware of. The SIS are under the direct control of our prime minister, there is now a lot of finger pointing as to who is to blame for these serious breaches of thier powers. "Our" government is now rushing new laws through parliament to increase the powers of law enforcement agencies to serveil and search with out the usual judicial warrants. It appears Kim could actually sue the NZ government for this debacle....

Really? So you believe that both political leaders are completely equal in all of those categories you have listed in your sig image there?

Same as you, they sounded like a waste of money and were priced way too high.

yea, the reinforced double negative threw me off for a second





good discussion ...

finished-forever didn't exist for fz, now fz is finished-forever and nobody can put an album together like fz, experimentational formats & new frontiers for fz product you wish for is not a real zappa album; the album framework is what zappa had work within, it may have it's limitations - btw, 40 minutes was not impossible by any means - but it is what it is ... the extended cd version of ziny is inferior to the foreshortened lp verson, xtra cd tracks dumped into the original mix [why¿ because he could] invariably watered down the strength of the album

there's a reason fz's posthumous albums with a couple of exceptions, are weaker than original zappa albums, they ain't real zappa albums, and it appears all the first pressings of all the 2012 cd's are a bum batch with mediocre artwork repro, will probably crap out/fade after a couple hundred [couple dozen¿] plays ... high-quality japanese mini-lp versions will follow universal music's intial test runs of this years 4 batches now being flogged in the usa & europe

There's virtually NO difference between the two. BOTH are funded the Goldman Sachs, BOTH are owned and operated by the Military Industrial Complex, BOTH are pro-war, BOTH are anti-constitution, BOTH are demagogues-to-the-max and BOTH are complete full of shit. In fact, the Democrats should be called, the War Party #1 and the Republicans should be called, the War Party #2. And to deny that, you'd either have to be in extreme denial or completely ignorant of the issues.

Isaac always has a hard time keeping discussions to one thread. Now he's spewing his wacko views of politics in this thread. what a retard.

...and to deny that Disco Boy is actually another of Isaacs accounts, you'd have to be in extreme denial or are completely ignorant about what really is on that Roxy album.

And then you die and lose everything! Whatchya going to do then? Hmm? Yeah, great idea... jaysus....

you don't even live here!!!

1 - why the fuck do you even care? pay attention to the fake French faggots in your own dumb country.

2 - Shut the fuck up!

I don't want to carry this discussion too far, there are other threads for it. But they are NOT the same in terms of support for the poor, equality issues (LGBT rights, immigration rights). I hate war too, and the drones make me sick. But a baby born to a poor mom is better off if O gets re-elected. That is what I care about.

no it isn't. All Obama is going to do is perpetuate the fucking free handouts for the lazy fucks who feel entitled.
