It's really not infinite, if you have 12 possible notes and 8 are played in a row that's 429,981,696 (12^8) possible melodies. That includes melodies with the same note in a row eight times; as such, if you require a note change each time you have 233,846,052 (12*11^7) possiblities. This still allows for half step variations (B - C - B etc.). So if you require whole step movements you have 120,00

I spent the day in Carlsbad, CA with my parents and, as I usually do, checked a cool local book store called 'Farenheit 451 Books'. I was perusing the music section and checking out the Stones books when I came across two issues of this IORR magazine! The issues were from 1999 & 2001 and each cost $9.95. Josh.

'Sharks will cry' is surely a Jaggerism, chosen because it sounds close to 'sparks will fly'. Josh.

Somewhere in the bigger bang doc or the fan club DVD Mick talks about harmonica. He says that for country tunes you play it in the same key (i.e. C if the song's in C) and on rock tunes you play it in the fifth (i.e. G if the song's in C). Josh

What a depressing thread. Scary/sad to see that so many people don't "get" some of these artists/bands. Some of these artists are flukes, but other capture the spirit of a generation (sex pistols, rap, et al). josh. np: wee who see the deep - the black crowes

I had the same thing happen (with a DVD) in college. I drove 30 minutes to Best Buy, bought the item, drove 30 minutes back to the school, walked 15 minutes to my dorm and opened an empty DVD case.

Reznor (NIN) made over a million on the deluxe version ($180?) of Ghosts alone. This allowed him to offer part of the album for free. This is a great way to keep costs low for people who just want the album and provide something extra for hardcore fans. josh.

Quotemicknkeef@cox.net Is there really such a thing as an iPod top ten? MP3 is an abomination to recorded music. Sorry, I really don't mean to offend but I've got to get on my high horse on this one. I will never, ever own an MP3 player. Oops, gotta go. My rotary telephone ringing. Scotty There are no MP3's in my iTunes or on my iPods. They are all 256 kbps aac files. josh.

I got home from work, exercised, and then put on Main Offender. I have been listening to it since. I am now on my 5th consecutive listen. This album is just too good. "Hate it When You Leave" is bloody brilliant. This album is surely underrated, just an amazing groove throughout. Great for a listening while comparing Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. josh. np: runnin' too deep - kr
