@yodelerty Fails to wiggle angles because is a chair
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:36:34 UTC from web-
@flaxx your a chair? now I'll seen everything.

@flaxx How are you even talking, Flaxx-Chair.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:37:08 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Telepathy.

@flaxx WHAAAAAA
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:38:22 UTC from web-
@yodelerty You're giving me a headache!
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:39:56 UTC from web-
@flaxx WHEEEE
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:40:34 UTC from web-
@yodelerty STOP THAT.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:42:20 UTC from web-
@flaxx No es bueno. :c
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:43:10 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Neither is my Español.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:44:24 UTC from web-
@flaxx What is an Español
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:44:56 UTC from web-
@yodelerty It's Spanish in Spanish.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:45:33 UTC from web-
@flaxx WHAAAAAAA
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:45:55 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Relax. Take it easy. Is it just me or is that from a song I haven't heard in ages.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:46:49 UTC from web-
@flaxx It's probably from every song.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:47:20 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Even from that one song I didn't even write?
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:48:45 UTC from web-
@flaxx Since when do you write songs?
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:49:49 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Since when I start actually writing songs. A friend and I are doing a project thing in school where we're gonna make an album. Me on acoustic guitar and him on vocals and stuff. But alas, I'm horrible at songwriting and we're both lazy, so.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:51:45 UTC from web-
@flaxx That sounds like a fun project, actually. Much better than any of the lame projects I've ever done.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:53:13 UTC from web-
@yodelerty It's why we picked it. Now we just need to learn to actually make and record songs...
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:53:55 UTC from web-
@flaxx I'm sure there are tutorial videos on teh YooToobz.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:54:55 UTC from web-
@yodelerty But that feels like cheating. What sucks is that the other guy lives so far away, so it's difficult for us to get together and actually work. For now I'm kind of just going through different chords and variations of them and whatnot, writing down all that sound decent. Reminds me that I should be doing that right now.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:57:24 UTC from web-
@flaxx Ehh, well okay. But getting knowledge from people who already know how to do that is a good way to learn.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:59:24 UTC from web-
@yodelerty That is true. We'll see how it ends up. Worst case scenario is we fail completely and there will be no album.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:01:24 UTC from web-
@flaxx That would be the worst possible thing.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:02:12 UTC from web-
@yodelerty It would mean you would never get to hear me play the guitar and sing! Not that I'm sure I'm going to sing anyway. I am doing some singing exercises every now and then though, because I would like to be a decent singer. But yeah, I still kind of suck at it.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:03:11 UTC from web-
@flaxx I, too, would like to be a decent singer because I figure I should probably have at least one talent. Not going so well but I'm not really trying that hard. But, yeah, when you get that album out it'd be cool to hear it.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:06:22 UTC from web-
@yodelerty It will be available once it done, and we're thinking of maybe releasing small sneak peeks or something along the way. But we'll see about that. And yeah, having a talent would be nice. And I like singing. A friend of mine (that same friend who's in the band with me, actually) gave me the CD he used when he learnt to sing. It's with Brett Manning, and it's pretty cool. Makes me feel like an idiot while practising, though. >.>
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:10:21 UTC from web-
@flaxx Aww yeahhh I bet that album will be the best thing since something. And I need to get me one of them singing CDs but I'm so broke now so I'll just continue to sing in the shower and call that practice. >.>
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:15:22 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Yeah, 'cause I totally paid for it and all no piracy here or anything cough cough hack cough bleurgh And I dunno, we're not really aiming to be the best thing ever, we just want to try out making music.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:16:22 UTC from web-
@flaxx Well, I'm sure you'll make a valiant first attempt. And I could pirate it but I wouldn't even know what to look for because I am a bad pirate.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:20:05 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Well, my friend had it on a CD he just gave to me, so I dunno where he found it. Probably The Pirate Bay, though.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:20:50 UTC from web-
@flaxx Yeah, probably. I'll take a look when I'm on a machine that isn't owned by my school.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:21:42 UTC from web-
@yodelerty That sounds like a good idea. I wish you luck and stuff with that!
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:22:41 UTC from web-
@flaxx Thank you! And to you, as well!
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:23:07 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Thank you very much! Now to actually make that album. Hum.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:26:02 UTC from web-
@flaxx Better get started, boy. Gotta get good grades and make music and stuff.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:29:03 UTC from web-
@yodelerty But it's so hard. ;n;
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:31:17 UTC from web-
@flaxx Yeah, but lots of things are hard. And it'll be worth it in the end, I'm sure.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:32:38 UTC from web-

@yodelerty Hah, you're no better than meeeee
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:36:10 UTC from web-
@flaxx Yeah, but I already knew that. :P
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:36:41 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Oh. Well still, it makes me feel better about myself!
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:39:43 UTC from web-
@flaxx Huzzah! The self-esteem has been... increased somewhat?
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:40:06 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Somewhat, yeah. Ah well, better than nothing!
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:41:56 UTC from web-
@flaxx True, true. Any self-esteem is good self-esteem or something.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:42:39 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Pssh, I don't even know anymore. More is often better. Unless it's more of bad things. I can't think because this music is massaging my brain in ways I enjoy far too much.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:43:58 UTC from web-
@flaxx That's 'cause music is the best medicine for whatever. Well, it depends on the music, I suppose.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:44:48 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Music really is fantastic in so many ways it's incredible.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:45:46 UTC from web-
@flaxx I really need better music on my phone. I'm bored of all of it now.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:47:08 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Thank you for reminding me. I need to replace some stuff there too.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:48:03 UTC from web-
@flaxx No problem. Everyone needs some pretty awesome music on whatever music player they choose. Unless they don't like music. Then never mind.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:49:01 UTC from web-
@yodelerty I honestly can't comprehend the idea of "not liking music". It's kind of like saying "I don't like looking at things"
-
@ceruleanspark To be fair, a lot of things look ugly. But yeah, even someone who says they don't like music has to like at least one piece of music.

@yodelerty The question is how can you not like music? I mean, I know there are people who don't enjoy it, but seriously.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:50:39 UTC from web-
@flaxx @eaglehooves I don
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:52:39 UTC from web -
@flaxx @eaglehooves @yodelerty 't know bros.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:52:57 UTC from web-
@yodelerty My problem now is that I'm not sure I can put the music I really like on my phone because I don't want to end up singing along while sitting on the bus. Because the music I love is so sing-along-to-able.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:54:19 UTC from web-
@flaxx Ah, I see. I drive so I usually sing in the car but then I'm like PEOPLE CAN SEE ME so I stop. :|
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:55:29 UTC from web-
@yodelerty What how is that even why do you do that if I could drive every day there would be so much singing I can't even imagine that would be the best now I am jealous
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:56:05 UTC from web-
@flaxx I also don't like the sound of my voice even if apparently everyone else does. If the windows on my car were tinted this would be a different story, I suppose.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:58:17 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Your voice isn't as bad as mine.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:59:03 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Your voice is fine. Good enunciation and whatnot. I tend to slur.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:02:08 UTC from web-
@yodelerty I have an issue with talking too quietly most of the time for people to hear me clearly. It is frustrating.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:03:00 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel Yeah, me too. Everyone thinks my name is Dan when I tell them what it is and I have to spell it out for them.

@yodelerty Well, I find my voice somewhat enjoyable when I sing along to things, but not when I just sing on my own. I have recorded myself a few times and listened to it just to get used to my voice, though.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:00:17 UTC from web-
@flaxx I should record myself singing or something. Because I only ever really sing along with music and I don't really know what it would sound like by itself.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:03:38 UTC from web-
@yodelerty A warning, though: It's probably gonna be painful the first time. I forced myself to listen anyway, convincing myself that I really needed to get used to hearing my actual voice to be able to improve.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:05:25 UTC from web-
@flaxx Bleh... That is not ideal. But I guess it must be done. :/
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:06:53 UTC from web-
@yodelerty You know, it's not certain you'll sound bad, it's just that it's awkward, at least for me, since I wasn't used to my own voice outside of my head. Guess I didn't really sound /bad/, just different.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:08:09 UTC from web-
@flaxx Yeah... I mean, I know what my talking voice sounds like through a subpar quality microphone but not my singing voice. And I don't like my talking voice so I probably won't like my singing voice. I'll record it when nobody's home. >.>
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:10:04 UTC from web-
@yodelerty I wish you the best of luck with that. And I'm hoping you'll be able to improve as well.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:11:40 UTC from web-
@flaxx Thank you. And I hope your album goes well.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:12:20 UTC from web-
@yodelerty Thank you very much, I sure hope it will. Otherwise I'll go over to my other plan. AUTO TUNE.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:16:00 UTC from web-
@flaxx WORST PLAN.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:16:24 UTC from web -
@flaxx Be like Glaze, always apply a Vocoder to your voice for like a year, then when you finally do a raw sample everyone will be like "HOLY CRAP"
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 15:18:15 UTC from web-
@minti But then my fame would end!

@flaxx If you are seriously going to put music online, please put it on a cool place like Bandcamp as well. Some people don't like iTunes, and giving original-quality files is a big plus to some people (like me).
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:23:35 UTC from web-
@omni Pssh, I don't even have an iTunes account and have no idea whatsoever how to use it, so that's out of the question. We haven't quite decided where to put it yet, but it'll probably be free.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:24:57 UTC from web-
@flaxx Bandcamp is free, looks good and takes care of all the "hard" stuff like tagging for you. The only limit you have is a file size limit (big), song length limit (long) and a free download limit each month (high enough to not be a real problem for most small bands). Their FAQ: http://bandcamp.com/pricing
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:26:58 UTC from web-
@omni Oh, alrighty. Thank you for the link, I'll check it out and talk to the other guy about it!

@mushi I don't... What?
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:31:34 UTC from web-
@flaxx the other guys and stuff. the hulk on avangers was talking like this, wasnt he?
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:32:12 UTC from web-
@mushi Haven't really watched that one. Not all of it, anyway. A little bit or something, and I wasn't paying much attention.

@omni Of course, what about it? :x
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:29:17 UTC from web-
@derpyshy MP3 isn't original-quality, not even MP3 320kbps comes close to that :P (Well, close enough for most people to not hear the difference, but when we're talking about the pure sound, you're missing out).
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:30:33 UTC from web-
@omni I know, but what does that have to do with me not liking iTunes? x.x
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:31:30 UTC from web-
@derpyshy Oh, I thought the "me too!" was directed to the part where I said "giving original-quality files is a big plus to some people (like me)"
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 14:33:02 UTC from web-
@omni Ah. No, it was about iTUnes :X

@omni I have come to realize that it's not the case that "most people can't hear the difference". It is instead "most people don't have headphones good enough to produce the difference".

Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:38:33 UTC from web-
@bronyforlife All you need to know is that I'm a chair and no you can't sit on me because I will not be oppressed by ponies. Chairs have feelings too.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:39:05 UTC from web-
@flaxx ok but i have a question, are you a chair or is this a phase you're going through?
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:40:59 UTC from web-
@bronyforlife Well, last time I kind of evolved into Clint Seatwood and was a mix of a chair and Clint Eastwood (obviously). I'm not a psychic, so I dunno what will happen this time.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:42:06 UTC from web-
@flaxx I liked you better when you weren't a chair.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:42:41 UTC from web-
@bronyforlife Everyone's always unhappy with me.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:43:07 UTC from web-
@flaxx what makes you think that?
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:43:37 UTC from web-
@bronyforlife When I wasn't a chair, I was told it was better when I was a chair. Now I'm a chair, and now I'm being told it was better when I wasn't a chair.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:45:09 UTC from web-
@flaxx you can stay a chair then.
Thursday, 04-Oct-12 13:46:31 UTC from web-
