Futurama

The dance scene has REALLY gotten out of control lately for ripoffs, artists are just butchering old 80's tunes in the hope that those smug [puncture]s who sit in their garden wearing just shorts and sunglasses with a cocktail in hand will love it, and most do. Incidentally, it's only the commercial dance scene that's like that - the odd dance remake for fun used to be pretty good, but now they're just killing it..

Not nessacerily. If the artist knows unit sales will be low, they just won't bother to get copyright. If the original artist finds out, they can sue. Copyright on music also runs out after 15 years (i think?) so if the owner doesn't renew their copyright on the track, anyone can sell, or in this case use it to rap against, to profit for themselves.

I think the most recent rap artists who have tried to make their own beats (50 cent etc) have shown us that they don't have the talent to. Eminem and The Streets make some really good backing tracks though.

I was a little suspicious that DRUM didn't take option number 2 from your battle - brushing over a render. Now we have proof :D

Ok, tonight i'm cleaning up my pc. I simply CANNOT reformat as theres over 20gb of data i want on here, mostly my audio apps, music collection and custom photoshop stuff and work. so that's out of the question. when you hit task manager on XP, does anyone have a list of all the stuff that *has* to be running? I'm sure theres stuff in there that doesnt... Peace and wub, futurama.

I destroyed a dead sunflower that was grown by one of the teachers stepfather and he doent garden anymore. it was an accident :(

My dad is about to lose his job along with 6000 others at the MG Rover factory. The entire art and music department at my school hate me and my prom date hates me for not buying a prom ticket (4 weeks away...) Everything has gone beyond pear shaped, which is why i'm writing this topic. This is a plea to anyone who's just leaving high school : GET INTO COLLEGE NOW. I applied for two colleges mid-late on in the year - south birmingham college, and new college. At both i applied for a course in music technology at BTEC level (2 a level's.) South birmingham sent me a postcard in the mail over a month ago telling me that i'd gotten an interview to get in. So I waited...and waited...and waited. Until tonight, I was still waiting until tonight, when my friend told me they'd rang him and told him there were no vacancies left. Nice of them to keep in contact. 2 weeks ago i applied for New college. Once again, I scored an interview. Same story - my friend was phoned, I wasn't. He applied for them both early. Now i'm going into employment for a year to buy some good musical equipment. I regret not trying harder to get into college because now paying the consequences - a full year of employment because I didn't bother to fill in a form which would take half an hour at max. Lock this topic if you want, but don't delete it. People my age and younger need to know that if you don't apply for college early, it really screws up your life.

Wow. It's all crap.

Apparently the chinese are thinking of building factories in Shanghai. Wow, that'll help us out lots!

I don't agree totally with this. I mean, if there's a totally groundbreaking, new, abstract band and noones quite sure of their opinions on them, then by all means post about them. But geez, Coldplay have been around for years.

hate em. they're far too normal and depressing for my musical taste.

No splash page is really needed (except for the ones that lead to 2+ places) i just wanted to make a bit of an impact on the first page with the text and stuff :) thanks for taking the time to post your comments! :)

i'm sure its only a matter of time till someone posts a bart simpsons quote :wink: Once we phoned up a airport and started asking them how much their coca cola was. We soon started asking what they do with the drugs they sieze and how much they would sell them for. Our phone number was soon barred 8)

the 2d is very nice but as stated before its way too plain. Just make a new layer, hit blend to overlay and brush colour in. It'll be really nice if you do that.

You call it idiocy, but they're the ones walking away with several thousand dollars. I take my hat off to them for having the sense to sue, i really do. Still, it's fun to read.

Autumn memories is very nice :)

Yeah mate, but its not a band, rather just music wrote in my home studio :wink: Cheers for your kind comments!

Been working on this over the past 2 days (inbetween doing other stuff, of course :wink:) WARNING : CONTAINS NAUGHTY LANGUAGE :shock: Check it out at http://www.pigeontheory.co.uk This thread is purely for a review of the design and graphics of the site and is no way advertising the site, so please don't lock it :) Ignore the phpbb skin for the meantime as i'm getting a friend to suss the buttons out and making a new banner. In the meantime, it's pretty terrible... But just rate the site so far :) Thanks!

I envy you. I really do. :cry:

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, i've added most to the guide. This guide was originally just for home exercising, but i'll probably add a gym exercising section over the weekend - but as it stands, it's friday, and you know what fridays mean 8)

Look at the technical specs, Gamecube SURELY doesn't have a better render than ps2. Not everyone likes realism. Nintendo's all about the cheesey cartoony graphics and some people like it that way :)

My friend's dad lost his job this morning, so there's a chance that my dad will have lost his too...apparently my friend went down to the factory in the early hours last night and people were going in with lorries and taking stuff. Not nicking, but taking a hell of a lot of components from the factory.

safe to remove afaik, but get a second opinion first.
