MD Listening Club Rebooted!
If you ever attended one in the past, you should already have an invite in your mailbox; if you haven’t/don’t, and would like to attend, I will send you an invite at the e-mail address you use to comment with below.
When: This Friday 4/8/16, from 9 PM ET until ??*
What: Social listening party; come with a piece of music (YouTube-available album, EP, side, piece, track, or song) that you’d like to share and a few words about it, and we take turns sharing/communally-listening/chatting via the built-in IM system.
Who: You. Me. That guy or gal over there. Any Ordinary Times/Mindless Diversions reader, commenter or lurker.
*it says “??”, so you know it’s gonna be good.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeesssss!Report
*dances* I will be at work all that time (yes, probably even until the amazing hour of ??, thanks to time differences), but I look forward to popping in and out.Report
I’m in. Currently watching SFA play (Drawing) Rings Around the World through the interface. Really easy to use. Plus, I got to see the test conversation!Report
Its an awesome interface, and I will try to be there!Report
I think I can make it. Sorry about that Kowloon Walled City review never getting written. My life is a disaster.Report
Ugh, sorry your life is a disaster, but I am glad you turned me on to KWC.Report
@krogerfoot – Chris told me you were having country issues getting in; I have interacted with a Japan-located guy on there, so maybe try a VPN? We missed you.Report
So lonelyReport
Dude, we are still in. Can you get a VPN to avoid country restrictions?Report
@krogerfoot – I asked the other fellow from Japan if he VPN’s in, and he said no – he could not get in, then he disabled AdBlock and got in fine. So maybe try that.Report
Wait, how does this work? I’m probably interested.Report
Glyph will probably send you an email, but if you don’t get one before this evening, hit me up on Twitter or email (this goes for anyone: @mixingchris or mixingmemory at gmail) and I will send you a link with instructions.Report
When we did the test flight a few days ago, you (@chris) queued up a female vocalist with a gorgeous clear voice that I admired. What was her name again?Report
Hey @burt-likko , I believe that was Aoife O’Donovan, but to be sure, is this the voice:

Definitely it. I’m going to feature that as the sidebar musical selection for a couple of days. Thanks.Report
You’re welcome.Report
@jason-kuznicki – I sent a mail to the LoOG dist a few days back, but I just re-sent it to you.Report
That. Was. Awesome.
I said to jaybird i said hey were you guys doing those like ALL the time a few years ago and he said well define all the time and i said you know like every month or two and he said well yeah and i said well jeez.
I’m glad I know how much fun they are now.Report
And the thing is, we were doing them around my schedule; but with this new setup, anybody (or nobody) can host at anytime. It’s my hope that people will just pop in there whenever and start spinning and chatting. We could even find YouTube-available movies, and do our own version of MST3K in there.Report
@glyph What a great couple of hours. Always interesting to hear what other people are listening to. And, I should not have left for that poker game. I lost $40.
@krogerfoot I, too, have become a big KWC fan, which is weird, because it’s unlike anything else I listen to.
See you all at the next one.Report
Me and Jaybird are in there now listening to Rush. That’s an invitation, or a warning, depending on your perspective.Report
Definitely warning. That man has one of the worst voices in rock and roll, at least in my opinion.Report
He sounds a lot better live.
Pretty good, actually.
Or, it could have been the ( something else ) .Report
