RTP

Thank you for the feedback, guys! I really appreciate it. Also, thanks very much to Richpa for the new logo. I like it a lot, the current one has gotten dusty and doesn't go well with the colors anymore. I'll see if I can use the new one (or Penzoline's version of it, if I may)... (edit: logo updated; I chose Penzoline's version because it's in .png format and I could instantly use it ) Same here, it runs very smooth. What browser are you using, Penzoline?

Thread created. Read more about the upgrade here: http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php?/topic/62546-board-updated-to-a-new-version/

Hello folks, first of all sorry that I have not made the news bigger in advance to make you prepared a little, but I was kind of underestimating the relatively big visual impact this was going to bring. Anyway... We have upgraded our board to a newer version and are now running InVision PowerBoard 3.2.2! You might have noticed that the layout has changed quite a bit. Probably some might find the new one better/worse ... I confess that I don't like it at all ... but either way, it won't be changed that soon for now because there are other things to do first. For the users of the dark skin I have to say sorry for the hurts in the eyes, because you'll probably see the default skin now, like me. Please have a bit of patience until we find a way to sort this out. Second thing are the avatars. Yes, they don't look good, I know. It seems to have taken not the pics we used at posting, but the profile avatar. The only thing that's not bad about it is that it seems to affect all of us alike. So please be so kind and change your profile pic to something new and awesome yourself if you feel the current one is not good. If there's any bugs, strange happenings, incompatibilities, insecurities with the new look and feel and options that you might now have, please feel free to comment and post here. You may also give feedback when you not like something Other than that, welcome to our new board. Let's get acquainted!

THE BOARD HAS BEEN UPGRADED! Please post all things related in the thread dedicated to it which I'm soon going to make.

I am not a fan of his products, in fact I hate them. But that doesn't hinder me to wish him to rest in peace and all the best wherever he may be now from the bottom of my heart. RIP

Yes, you are right. They are indeed sending Greece bankrupt the controlled way. Not only all signs point towards that, it also is certain that a 20% "haircut" is made on the assets. But the "fun" thing is, that even with these 20% "haircut" you'll need more taxpayer money to save some banks as some already have said they'll go bankrupt if the assets are downgraded 20%. And what's interesting is that the majority of the greek debts are not yet paid. The biggest debt loads for Greece are yet to come in a few years as I saw in a diagram presented in financial newspapers. And when they are due, the Greek will even need more money. This is counterproductive to everything. The Greek must save their asses off which makes their economy suffer and choke every impulse that would bring economy up and the country out of crisis. At the same time, the European tax payers get pissed off at the Greeks because they have to pay their tax money for them, resulting in a disruption of european unity. While in the end this taxpayer money isn't enough and Greece will need more, but at the same time also to save even more which makes the greek taxpayers pissed off and do strikes. All just that the banks get their money! It would be comical if it wasn't so shockingly true. Good answer, Rotwang. It's by far not your own guess, you described the features of a currency pretty well and it explains why gold is so sought after. The question is, when people have nothing to eat or to drink, wouldn't a piece of farmland be worth more than the gold?

Just pray people won't realize how bad they are scammed. If they don't realize, it will be fine. By the way, don't listen to "economy prophets" these days. Most of the people are traders and a trader either gives advice to buy things he already has stocked up on (to keep demand/price high) or they give advices because they directly sell it. Ever saw a gold merchant talk bad about gold?

I like the "Ode to The Bouncer" But this is 0wnage. Seriously. I love that one... And now I got a totally different one. They don't play so cool stuff on our radios, but this was one of the rare gems: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTUhAWwsVHE

Veracohr is right, Procyon. Western or also Northern countries might be very developed and have a good quality of life. But this is about debts ... and those are sky high. And if people realize that these debts can't get paid back and that they were scammed, we will probably have a big crash and a fundamental change in the money system that's probably going to render every value that was created under the old system (the one we have now) worthless or at least drastically reduced in value (stripped of all the interest money and all, leaving the real physical value that is far less than the monetary one ... this is true, some people who buy gold now already don't speculate on a higher value later, they speculate to at least have SOMETHING in their hands during or after the crisis that is worth more than the amount of money they paid for the gold before the crisis). Simply said, lots of people are going to lose their money. And then it will be the point where the working classes go to the streets because they got no money and no perspective anymore and it will be somewhat like we saw in London a few months ago, only that it will be fucking everywhere, also in front of your door. And then it won't be far fetched that economy might come to a grinding halt, letting all the infrastructure of the society collapse along with it ... won't be long until policemen and firemen don't receive their salaries anymore (after all, what to buy with the salary anyway when it's worth nothing) and then there could be anarchy and as much as I enjoy a society of chaos in theory and imagination, it's probably going to be fucking hell. The money in this system is stained, spoiled and in every dollar/euro there are meanwhile a lot of "dead" factors in it that are only holding the price/value inflated. This air needs to get out, but it needs to be done SLOWLY. Like a benzo addict with tolerance you can't quit cold turkey. But at the moment we don't quit, we cure withdrawal symptoms by taking more benzos ... and when we continue like this, it will be our road to doom. Prepare for above scenario.

I can't help you with Strasbourg. But just 80 km south of you is the german city Freiburg, that would do for a short trip, wouldn't it? Today you could see Para Halu there. But maybe that's a bit too short-timed ... sorry When I did a search for Freiburg on Goabase I saw that in November there seems to be another good party there, maybe you wanna go: http://www.goatrance.de/goabase/party/details/62207 It says Stuttgart there. But also Stuttgart isn't that far away, just about 120km to the east, should also do for a short trip.

Me too. So cute.

Hi guys, I find it is a really good idea as the psy scene does not have such a type of thing. There is Discogs and there is the Psychedelic Mind Expander and there are the forums, but these are not the same as the idea presented here. At the moment we are discussing this internally. Stay tuned for more info.

Just plain 0wnage. Wait for the song starting at 0:45... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG-wO1Tbrjg I had the pleasure to listen to it on the radio while driving Divine! Only thanks to the track service of the radio I know what song it is...

OK, RTP is too stupid to read in this case So we have cheap writer and cheap medium?! So that would actually mean ... a PANACEA? Is it really?

Absolutely. Your post in the beginning is actually not very helpful for anybody willing to identify tracks. Try narrowing the possibilities down as much as you could. Samples? Style? Length? Where did you hear it? Etc....

Dude, I appreciate you being all so cool about this, but getting ripped off this way is pretty damn bad. People definitely should know - and they do now, which is good. I was playing with my thoughts whether to order this album and support Wirikuta (and you I thought), but now I'm damn glad that I forgot all about it and didn't do it for it turns out I might have supported ripping you off. Still, cheers for putting the material online and taking it so easy.

Omfg, that's ridiculously cheap. But if it's so cheap, the question is if this is actually really holding the promises... Or are the disks helluva expensive then? I know, I know, "exposed to 85C (185F) temperatures, 85% humidity, and bright, full-spectrum light for 24 hours." and it was still readable ... but if it really holds it you only gonna see if you make a stronger endurance test. I took a lecture on data preservation and there they told us that there's funghi who feed off the data layer material of CDs/DVDs. Can MDisk also battle that?

So ... these are quite strong facts presented over at Isratrance that I would really like to find proof about ... and I'd also have a meaning from the other side... I know I was attempting to contact Wirikuta = Andrea (Florian?) Gambacorta many months back because of some issue I wanted to inquire about which I had been asked for from the team from PanzarProduktionz (didn't concern them in particular though afaik) -- they had asked me because I'm Austrian, that means from the same country. Guess what, the subject was about a scam too. I tried contacting Wirikuta by phone, but I never came through. Very strange. With that, do you mean you have not gotten paid? That would be outrageous. I personally had been ordering CDs and vinyl from them in the past several times and their service was always perfect, nothing to complain about. Also had conversations when they'll get this and that and so on. All good, nothing to complain and Andrea seemed like a nice person. That's why I'm a bit wondering now.

Well, I for my part do have data which I would be happy to last longer than 10 years. My holiday photos for example. It actually would be ideal if there was a service that burns you data on M-Discs ... this way you don't have to afford the M-Disc drive itself, which would probably cost a fortune. And yes, I know there are certain archival services already, but they take monthly fees afaik. Plus the M-Disc will be accessible for me even if the net was down one day or anything... M-Disc burning on request ... hope we will see something like that one day.

You make me listen to You Make Me Wanna Drink More... Hi Moni, what's up?

Earworm! Yes, it's called like that in german too - "Ohrwurm". I just wasn't using the term because I was thinking that this word doesn't exist in english ... so I used sackzement, which is totally out of context and even less known, but well The interesting thing about the earwigs is that we also say "Ohrwurm" (earworm) to the earwigs. It's the same term. I hate earwigs ... we had a lot of them in our garden and I was always paranoid one would crawl into my ear when sleeping... Fortunately it's just earworms what I have ... not earwigs. BTW, Walkabout, I thought you were a chick. Aren't you?

hooray, a zombie thread Those were the times ... Audiogalaxy FTW! They had everything Sad that these times are all gone... but well. Better support the labels, otherwise they'll be gone too

Concerning psytrance it must be Eat Static - B-World for 3 Euros... The album isn't even that good in my eyes, but it's just ... Eat Static, Man The best about these findings is the light in the eyes you get once you find a true gem inside a total bargain box for like 3 Euros. For non-psy I have found cheaper records already...

here kitty kitty...

Yes, it does mean "a bag of cement". And germans say it in a cursing, astonished, surprised kind of way. At least I think That's why I used the word. I myself don't really say that ... I know the word only from Duck Tales comics that I read when I was 14 ... but I kinda thought it fitting here. Whatever... The suffering is awful. I believe it has to do with certain processes in the brain. The brain just plays music and it doesn't stop. Awful. It doesn't even stop now, I just left the house and it continued to play. But at least I now know what song it is. Seriously though, you don't have that? When coming home from a psy party, the music doesn't continue to play in your head either? It does in mine. I can play whole psy "livesets" to myself on a day after I went to a party, twist the sounds around, the beats. So at least the meloy haunting has a good side to it aswell...
