yeah, bill leeb isnt industrial...
RIGHT GUYS?
i'll say it again. bill leeb is the puffy of post industrial (or
should i say p-diddy?) except less wealthy.
np: spaankorzo - drama
bill is cool, he seemed less egotistical in this interview and seemed to
recognize that his underground status is pretty much shot but that also it
can't be avoided and life goes on. i don't mind his pop stuff.
er'ehwon
actually i was talking the way he uses samples. though of course not
as egregious as puffy. just a joke i like to make though.
np: radiohead - the bends
oh yes i agree with you. bill is not the best example of sampling as an
artform.
er'ehwon
: i'll say it again. bill leeb is the puffy of post industrial (or

then who is phil easter....?
A rather good artist, IMO. Why don't you ride David Thrussel's ass for
sampling, if you want to talk shit about talented musicians? Your
desperate need to see Bill Leeb as a viable musical touchstone in 2001
will in the end cause you great cognitive dissonance and unresolved
conflict.

I work at UUnet, a big-ass corporate ISP, and that quote is an excerpt
from a customer complaint sent to our support people. The whole complaint
is as follows:
"You no give good access to my domain. I think problem is in you server.
I keep building page but never gets public on net. Send Recieve no work
either. My router is smoking from you scans. Stop penetraiting my

that's kind of frightening. but yesterday someone was telling me about

the same reaction from me. so much for the semi-literate.
i wonder how many people in this world are computer literate but only
semi or illiterate. that's a scary thought.

Dude, apparently your bad childhood has skewered your psyche to the point where
your anti-social neurosis has created a need for you to desparately impose

when Phil Easter does it to a MUCH larger extent. Sorry boys and girls,
but if you are gonna claim that slowing down or speeding up a sample and/or

from plagarsism, youve got a shaky argument at best. Some of you

Considering that one [simplified] way of looking at it is that
Ant-Zen fare is a cousin of the electro Metropolis offers, but with
distortion and extreme frequencies (meaning they're basically the same
music, structurally), I'd argue that either label could sign and release a
monkey's music first.
However, with Metro already releasing the music of one Orangutan
Erickson, I think it has better connections to hit up the monkey market in
the future.

Ant Zen would. Metro doesn't sign artists, they license them once they get
popular, generally. Its been their modus operandi since day one.

i'm not even looking at lyrics, though, i'm looking at the overal

yep, excellent point, very true. back in the day, i didn't mind the sampling,

music pretty silly in general? i just can't take puppy seriously anymore but

presented something that was more in tune with me than puppy.

No, I've not...but I was actually referring to an old RMI joke about crappy project pitchfork
lyrics. If you don't remember it it's roughly akin to the Genesis P-Orridge/Coke machine
thing, except for the fact that it's actually true.

In my ideal world, I'd be driving over Leeb's pansy faux-militaristic nu-jeep with my

Balthazar Woll of the Leibstandarte-SS sPzAbt laying the gun, and the entire friggin'
GrossDeutschland Panzergrenadier Division scouring the streets behind me for his
relatives. And a beer in one hand, and her on my lap, and a pocket full of shells.
OK, I don't dislike the guy *that* much, but the image amuses me.

Are you a member of the German military? If not, I'm very scared.

-500 + 500 = 0. Nothing. Which, according to Trent Reznor, is the epitome
of industrial. Congratulations.
+200 Industrial points for not knowing which movie.

I guess you're scared, then.

hey, J, you played FAllout Tactics? that game rocks

No. Loved and finished both Fallouts, but I dunno...the engine didn't
really lend itself to the kind of detail and realism I want, so I'm kinda
leery about this one.
J
I would like to point out he has tits and a beer belly.
oh but J, you gotta try it, the resolution they have beefed up at least a
substantial bit. Human and mutant flesh detonates in a more satisyingly
viscereal manner. There is a 2 mission shareware version out you should really
try. at least give the freeware a spin before you plunk down your
angrily earned cash on this release.....

That's not the kind of detail I meant. I was talking about the obsessive
nitpicking over individual weapons and unit statistics I find in the more "hard"
wargames out there. But, I'll download the demo and tell you what I think.
J
Beware... my friends tried the demo and said there was no way to set it
to turn based combat (like the other Fallouts), so it was impossible.
However, they got a brain and made it possible in the final game.
I've played neither, so this is all hearsay.

I turned it to turn based from the options screen before I even started the game
itself...and my verdict? Bland, boring rubbish. Everything that made Fallout so good
is GONE. This reeks of a cash-in.
J
What made fallout good IMO was the RPG elements and the really twisted,
anti PC, sense of humor in the games. Which is why I won't check out
the new one.

Bah, cranky, as usual. This is down and dirty Mad Max style firefights,
personalized death and destruction for the 23rd century, and frankly, I dont
know why you think its so bland. Of course there is virtually no roleplaying,
but thats why they called it Fallout : TACTICS , not Fallout III. Frankly
you sound like you were expecing fallout III, or some Post Nuclear version
of Command and Conquer, which has much too much shit going on for ADD people
like me to deal with well....
Micro Forte laid next to all employees after it's release. Interplay needs
money, BAD.
