We would drive past his house on the way back home and if he was outside, we'd yell, "Go back to to Russia, longhair!" Arlo, because he was mowing the lawn or some such and maybe couldn't hear us, and didn't have long hair anyway, would always smile and wave, a little bit confused. Good guy, that Arlo.

In fact for a sum of money you too can join Arlo for a Thanksgiving feast. As for Woody (the father), think "This Land is you Land". One hell of a protest song too bad most recordings of it are trimed down to the more acceptable lyrics for kids to learn and ol' fashon AM radio guidelines.

Sorry, guys. Lists will be sent out either Friday night or Saturday. My apologies. Both the send out deadline and face-punching date will be pushed back a few days. I'll send you all emails when we're ready to rock and/or roll. I miss being unemployed.

I'll be using an editing program for my CD, which has a multitrack mixer. This will enable me to add lots of sound clips, drops, sound effects, etc., but will also make it impossible to jump from selection to selection; it'll just be one long track. My question is, will that be too much of a pain in the ass? Should I just scrap the whole idea and do a regular, more traditional "songs only" mix? 'Cause I could do that...it wouldn't be as much fun, but I could do it. Please advise.

You can put indexes even if it's one long track, no? Maybe you need special mastering software for this, I don't know.

posted by qbert72 at 07:41 AM on December 29, 2006

I'd take just one long track. Sounds cool.

Q, I've never used this program that way...if I'm burning a CD using this program, it's usually for a specific piece of audio/video production, and is generally only one cut.

posted by The_Black_Hand at 08:03 AM on December 29, 2006

Could you mix down with drops, etc, then break it up? Save it in a couple sections, then burn it. So it's separated but not really separated. Which program?

I say make what you want.

I don't think you can send those internationally.

Good suggestion, Vinegar and Water. I'll give that a shot and see what happens. I'd have to mix it down, then cut it up, then put each individual segment into the CD Project Utility, then, hmmm...that might work. I'm using Adobe Audition.

I think it's okay if the love is ultra-pasteurized, DrJohn.

I ain't fallin' for no banana in the tailpipe. TBH, looks like you may have a solution to your problem already, but if you get stuck and have QuickTime Pro you can import the mixed-down clip into there index it.

Or at least booty bump it. Is this a contest? I'm on two teams, and I'm not sure who to play harder for. I mean, Otis liked the smell of it and all, but shit, Patrick could've used an old paper towel roll. Now I know how Roger Clemens feels each April May late June.
