I brought a tape of ACOS (I usually don't walk with my discman because I got it a few years ago and it skip when I walk) and put it into my walkman and left. Well, I hadn't used my walkman in a while and the batteries were low, so the tape was kinda running slow. It was cool though beacuse even though it didn't sound completely right, it lasted over 30 MINUTES! That had to have been the coolest 30 minuted of my life (other than obvious exceptions). Well, I just wanted to share that with you all...it was cool! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 14:12:18 -0400 From: "George Sumschidt" To: "Ytsejam" Subject: some humor Message-ID: /lurk mode off Hey group!!!

The cheapest possible guitar amp is to feed the output of your guitar into the input of a simple Walkman-type cassette player. Simply take the Walkman apart, locate the leads going from the cassette head to the circuit board, and attach the output from the electric guitar to the casette head leads. See diagram: Roller Head Guide Head +--------------------------------+ +--------------------------------+ | \_/ |__| || | | |__| | | | | /|\ | | | | / | \ 3 wires coming| | O O | | / | \ off head | | | | left gnd right | | | | | | | | Connect to electric | | | | guitar output | +--------------------------------+ +--------------------------------+ Front view of walkman Back (circuit board side) view There will be 3 wires coming off of the tape head connecting somewhere on the circuit board. The 3 wires are, of course, left channel, right channel, and ground. Simple poking around with a pair of headphones on will tell you which line is which. Just tie the ground from your guitar output to the ground, and the signal to both left and right channel inputs. Then, just press PLAY with no tape in the unit, and whatever output from the guitar will go through the cassette head leads and get amplified to the headphones. Simple and real cheap; you might need an attenuating resistor to limit the strength of the signal coming into the Walkman, but I doubt it with the low levels that an electric guitar will put out. Plus, if you pop in a cassette and press play, you will be able to hear BOTH your electric guitar AND the cassette through your headphones. Jam along with your favorite tape! This technique can be used whenever you want an amp out of a cheap Walkman. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jul 1997 15:36:42 -0300 (EST) From: Rogerio Brito To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: ACOS Message-ID: On Sat, 26 Jul 1997, Mike Potvin wrote: > It was cool though beacuse even though it didn't sound completely > right, it lasted over 30 MINUTES!

Well, I had the same effect (not 30 minutes, but about 15 or 20) with Learning to Live. :-) It was really interesting how James was with "balls & chunk". :-) BTW, you say about the obvious exceptions and I just remembered a fact that occured about one year ago when on the Metallica Newsgroup. There were some people telling which were some good Metallica albums to start with and one of them said: "Kill'em All is as good as sex and sex is good". :-) []s, Roger... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogerio Brito - email_address_removed.br - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Undergraduate Computer Science Student - "Windows?

Tuesday, it was King Crimson's Thrak, Signify by Porcupine Tree, The Wishing Tree's Carnival of Souls, Sunsets On Empire by Fish and H's Ice Cream Genius. Quite a diverse selection, eh ? :-) I *always* drag all my Tori Amos albums to work too :-) I love having my own huge office and huge ergonomic keyboard (great for 'drumming' on). > How can you tell a Christian computer programmer? > > If you tell him to "go to hell," he tells you never to say "go to!" Heheh ! I'm a programmer... loved the joke, hate the "goto" command. Here's a nice George Farber subroutine : SUB GeorgeFarber DO PRINT "DIE!!!!!" LOOP UNTIL SkadzKicksHisAss = TRUE END SUB And how to get rid of him : SUB Skadz KILL GeorgeFarber END SUB Let's all CALL Skadz :-) Actually, I've sent an official complaint about our dear George, to email_address_removed but they need the insulting posts with complete headers in order to get off their asses. I'm in *digest* mode, so I only get those five lines (date, from, to, subject, message-id). So if you're in bounce mode and are sick of this "DIE!!!" crap, you know what to do :-) Or just mail me one (or a few) complete headers of Farber's posts and I'll mail them to Juno myself. I mean, digest 2793 only had 7 messages. 66 % of it was just more of Farber's shit eventhough he's not even on the Ytsejam anymore (as far as I know). I'm getting *this* close to mailbombing this bastard's ass off with a few megabytes of "DIE!!!" and "FUCK YOU!!!" crap. _____ Ernesto Schnack wrote : > There's also the fact that most people don't need or want music to > be challenging or complex.

Those songs all sound the same. I hate it when you ask someone what kind of music they like, and they reply with "pop music"... And I think most of them don't even know what they're missing. They're so used to listening to what eMpTyV and radio stations play that they just don't know there's stuff out there that can *actually* move/excite you. I'm not just talking about metal and prog, because that's not for everyone either. Anyway, I think we are pretty damn *lucky* to love a band like Dream Theater :-) _____ David Cuthbert wrote : > PS.

I know there has been some stuff said about the Who as of late. I was wondering if there was anyone out there that knows if the Who is planning, or has released, a CD and/or video from this tour? The live version just BLOWS AWAY the studio version... much like the band did with Tommy a few years ago. I have the video and 2 CD-Set the Who released from their Tommy tour; I am hoping they will do the same with the Quadrophenia tour. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Onto other news, I was looking for some information regarding the new Iced Earth album, I think it's called "Days Of Purgatory", or something like that. At one point I was led to believe that it would be all new material. Then I heard how it would be material taken directly from their first few CD's. Then I heard how it would be a CD full of old stuff, rerecorded with the new singer. Which is true? I love "The Dark Saga", but can't really get into their older stuff, probably because I am partial to their latest singer. If the new singer sings older stuff, I may have to pick it up. Again, any info would help greatly. Feel free to e-mail privately, or to the Jam if you think it's relevant. Thanx a lot!! Under 2 months 'til new Dream Theater!!!
