Errors / Typos in the playlist
 

Knowing most of the rabid listeners are as anal as I am, I thought I'd start a thread where we can point out mistakes in the playlist, i.e. songs mis-titled, typos, and other errors.

For example: Camel Who Are We s/b Who We Are
or: Steve Morse listed as: Morse Band, The Steve and: Morse, Steve
I know there are a couple of Sigur Ros songs mislabeled (Mossy, help me here) :)

Not trying to be critical; I know what it's like to manage a large a database. If the mistakes are brought to light, perhaps they can fixed over time.

excellent
 

Excellent, Steady Stan! I'm glad I'm not the only one! To fill you in, there is already a thread about this. It's here:
Library Corrections and Inconsistencies


Secondly, I think all the Sigur Ros is correct. I know Von, Angels of the Universe, and ( ) are, because I donated those. The only think I can think of that might be the corrections you are thinking of is that little symbol that looks like a defored "d" with a cross in it. It is pronounced "th" and so I put that pronunciation in the place of the "deformed d" because it's not a normal character. If you know of something else, I'd like to know it too!

What a bunch of bums!
 

To quote "Bones" McCoy, "Damnit Jim"!

You fools can't get anything right!!!

(ok, now pull tongue out of cheek)

OK OK I'll pile on
 

I did remember one. Finch's "A Passion Condensed" is listed as "A Passion Condenser".

Is a Passion Condenser a device put on a car to keep one's daughter from staying out of the back seat???

Two More
 

the track by Magnetophone called "Oh Darlin'" is in the library twice. One is 2:01 in length and one is 2:04 in length. Maybe the first one cuts off too soon?


I've posted this before, but here goes again. That controversial 9-piece from Montreal on the Kranky label is called
Godspeed You Black Emperor!
not
Godspeed! You Black Emperor


The two Tony Palacios songs "Epic Tales of Whoa!" and "Late Night" are crossed referenced. "Epic" is Late Night and "Late Night" is Epic.

Actually, it looks like both are wrong. Their official page:

http://www.cstrecords.com/html/godspeed.html (look at page title)

it's

Godspeed You! Black Emperor


Avian

G!Y!B!E!
 

I think Avian has it right, for the moment.

At some point they moved their ! for no apparent reason.

Exclamations without explanations...

don't forget
 

about the other corrections mentioned. Seems like everything in these forums gravitates back to Godspeed.

How about Goodness You're Boring Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then insert exclamations as you see fit.

sigur
 

Yes, Stan.

There is indeed an error in the sigur ros listings. Agaetis Byrjun is listed as Olsen Olsen.

I assume what is listed as Agaetis Byrjun is, in fact, Olsen Olsen.
Will do a request on it just to make sure.

double double tracks tracks
 

I noticed that KBB's "Hatenaki Shoudou" is listed twice, with a one-second difference in the timing.

Same deal with Salem Hill's "Sweet Hope Suite" but that one presumably has the track with and without the silence/bonus track at the end.

One more... Rick Wakeman's "Bedtime Stories" just played, but it was titled "Beadtime Stories" ... just a typo, I'm sure.

Avian, are you hanging out with Mary Jane today? :D That link brings up a pic that cleary says Godspeed You Black Emperor!

Secondly, thier homepage is here. I have all thier cds. I just looked them over to make sure. On F#A#(infinity), Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada, and Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, thier name was "Godspeed You Black Emperor!" On thier last album, Yanqui U.X.O., they changed thier name to "Godspeed You! Black Emperor." So some websites have the first one and some of them have the last one.


I think the difference is this. The first three releases are on Kranky and the last one is on Southern. My guess is that it's a contractural thing and they couldn't record with Southern under GYBE! and had to rename themselves, so they picked GY!BE. Similar to the way Styx had to re-record "Lady" as "Lady '95" to get it on thier Greatest Hits album.

So my ideal would be to have all of the tracks listed as GYBE!, because if the bands was indexed both ways, two Godspeed tracks could play very close together because SAM would read it as two seperate artists.

sigh
 

Like the man said, look at the page title. That would be the thing at the top of the browser window. The pic on that page may be from the old version of the band, or it really is a letter from a fan, as it appears to be, and he just exclaimed his greeting. Nonetheless, delve further into the site, http://www.cstrecords.com/html/godtourdates.html for instance, and you'll see that the ! has indeed moved consistently to after the You.

I just edited my post. Here's the new part

PS, Rick, how bout I give you all of GYBE! cds on your birthday? :p

Explore the webpage indeed...

f#a# infinity
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven



Oh, and I must correct myself. All thier releases do appear to be on Constellation, a Kranky label. So the name change was not, as I speculated, contracturally motivated.


Anyway, the final analysis, as I move on to other things, is that 3 albums are Emperor! and one is You!. Th.thh. thh. that's all folks.



:rolleyes:

I was given that disc - remember the game hot potato?

:p

Of course..........
 

It might just have been a typo that got through the proof reader.........

Re: don't forget
 

I'd nominate this post for at least "top 5 funniest posts ever"

but in all seriousness, please continue to point these things out. We fix them from time to time.

Dual songs usually results from having one song from a sampler or something, then I acquire the entire CD. I try to delete the duplicate, don't always remember.

Godspeed! You Black Emperor was my mistake, but I know I've seen the exclamation point after the G - I think they're trying to make up for their obvious lack of musical talent by being creative in naming themselves. Talk! about pretentious...:D

Wow, is this a prog station or a comedy station!:D

Re: Errors / Typos in the playlist
 

Nope. These are all correct. In the liner of Agaetis Byrjun (the album, not the song), it lists nine track titles. There are ten songs. The first is a little intro to the album, so if you don't realize this, you have all the songs by the wrong title.

the sigur-ros official discography

alright spaz
 

I went to the site and checked out Olsen Olsen and it IS the track I have as Agaetis Byrjun on my cd, as does Keith.

We bought ours in London and it's released on fat cat records.

Our cd only has nine tracks, and omits the intro, so you can see why the confusion.

As the official site uses the 10 track version you have, I will accept that the sigur ros listings as the moon has them, are correct.

So people, after months of listening to me go on and on about this, we can put it to bed. The moon listings are correct according to the official sigur site. Thank you for your patience.

(But Keith, when you and I listen to our cds, it's really Agaetis Byrjun :0)

Oh Mossy. I think you're sweet. Sorry you're version omits the intro. I'll go request Intro/Svefn-G-Englar right now so you can hear it :rolleyes: :D :rolleyes: :D

Sugar Mice
 

Even though I normally don't participate in this type of nitpicking deal without real tangible benefit, I also realize that Avian may want to do some housecleaning and offer him this tasty morsel.

"Sugar Mice" and "Sugar Mice in the Rain" are listed as two different songs. Go crazy Avian!

!
 

But I thought it was

Sugar! Mice

or is it Sugar Mice!

;)

Re: Sugar Mice
 

haha we win!

on the remaster edition of "Clutching At Straws", these are indeed different tracks. One may be an unfinished or demo version, I don't remember. But this one is not a mistake. Temporary vindication!:D

The stink of defeat.
 

I knew that I should have stuck to the sidelines. :(

sorry for gloating, but after so many mistakes that were directly attributable to ME, I couldn't resist...:)

:)
 

Cheer up Jim, they are not mistakes. They are the inevitable shortcomings of genius. Even Faulkner and Hemingway had to do second and third drafts and rewrites :D

gloat away
 

Jim, aren't you GLAD stan started this thread :rolleyes:

Nothing to add about any errors on song titiles or band names. As a person who works on web sites far too often I realize that mistakes do happen, especially with the volume of info that is on a site like AM.
However, I have to agree with Jim.....this has to be one of the funniest posts ever!!! It was getting out loud laughs here at work. Another reason that I truely love this site....great music, good chat/shouting and people from all over the world with great ideas, thoughts and senses of humor. Long live the Moon.

e!diti!ng yo!ur po!st
 

T!H!E!R!E! W!E! G!O!!!!!

Thank you for correcting my punctuation Rick......or lack thereof.:p
While I'm at it.....thanks for keeping me laughing as well.:p :D

Heaven Forbid but.........
 

If the day ever arrives please remember that it's Dream Theater not Dream Theatre....................OK?

yet another
 

I just noticed one more.

Yes - "Roundabout" should be "Round About"

Never...
 

have I seen that song split into two. My copy is one word, all my friends' copies are one word, etc.

In fact, I've never seen that as two words in any usage (save for maybe, "why don't you come to my place round about midnight").

I'll be the


ROUNDABOUT

this post will make you out and out....................

Re: Never...
 

My first reaction was that it's one word as well but knowing Yesspaz he's probably got an album released in Outer Mongolia where the track is listed as two words.

Come on my man.......evidence!!!!!

Outer Mongolia
 

the Ulaan Bator release does not list it as two words either..


maybe Tasmania?

I get this weird feeling that Yesspaz is pulling our leg again.....

Wow. WOW! Talk about taking the bait.... Geez! :rolleyes:
