[sdre-l]: sdre shn server + show request

2001-03-22 Thread anthony

using the info i got on the list here, i just made SHNs of "flatland 
spider," "the onlies," and "bucket of chicken" all from the original 
vinyl.  they sound WONDERFUL... much better than the MP3s that are being 
passed around.  do we have a server to host them yet?

and while everyone's asking for shows... does anyone know of a recording 
of the show at UW, april 26 1999?  i'm only interested in the last 
song... the "loud" version of  "days were golden" that they supposedly 
only played that night... i was there, and it ruled.  if someone has 
it let me know...

Re: [sdre-l]: question........

2001-03-19 Thread anthony

 Just a question but was Will in any foo videos?
he was in the videos for "i'll stick around" and "big me."  he also 
performed in the "i'm ok, eur-ok -- foo fighters world tour" special 
that was on mtv after the release of the first album, and the 
performance of "this is a call" from that show is often shown as a 
seperate video on MTV2 and MTVX.  the rest of the foo videos feature 
taylor hawkins drumming.

oh yeah, and since i'm one of the few on the list that doesn't hate foo 
fighters... congrats to nate and the band for the two grammy awards, 
"best rock album" and "best short-form music video."  personally i think 
both sdre and foo have survived their line-up changes gracefully (both 
deciding to become three-pieces, how odd) and if they're both putting 
out (in my opinion) good music, who cares who's in what band?  although 
i think nate's talent was showcased more in his SDRE days, the foo's 
"there is nothing left to lose" record isn't just stand and pluck notes 
either. 




[sdre-l]: TRT

2001-02-18 Thread anthony

since everyone's sounding off... this was something i posted to the 
official bulletin board a while ago:

-
i'm a huge fan of sunny day real estate, have been since diary. i've 
seen them a bunch of times, have tons of their posters and cds and vinyl 
all over my bedroom, and i listen to them practically every day. my ears 
perk up when i overhear people talking about sunny days or real estate, 
even when they have nothing to do with the band. when i found out they 
were getting back together i screamed and cried and called everyone i 
knew. diary changed my life before i even put it into my cd player, just 
thumbing through the lyrics on the drive back home from the record store 
(i was 14 or so at the time) made me want to just break down and cry and 
scream and i listened to it every night for two months to the point 
where i had to beg a friend to take it off my hands for a few months 
just because i couldn't sleep anymore. of course, i was in a point in my 
life where i was very depressed (over a girl, of course) and that's what 
made me click with the album so much in the first place. i've bought 
diary three times. the first copy got stolen, the second copy got 
scratched from me taking it everywhere, and the third copy a got a few 
weeks ago. to this day i call diary my favorite album. but, i can hardly 
listen to it anymore. not because it's emotionally overwhelming for me 
like it when i was 15, but because i'm not at that point anymore. i have 
a girlfriend and we've been together for a year. i'm out of school and i 
have a full-time job. i'm rarely ever depressed.  although "how it feels 
to be something on" and "the rising tide" don't sonically and 
emotionally blow me away like diary and lp2 *DID*, they are more 
well-crafted musical works of art then the past two records are. sunny 
day has moved on from that era, just as i have. and although i still pop 
diary into my cd player every once in a while (and i still can't wait to 
see them play more older stuff live), i listen to the rising tide almost 
every day (not including in-store play). something as simple as the 
rolling bassline at the end of "tearing in my heart" capitivates me more 
than the passionate wails of "48."
-

and that still holds true to this day (except i split up with my 
girlfriend).  so, maybe i'm one of the few... but i'm an old school sdre 
fan that totally understands (at least, i think i do) the direction they 
are going... i absolutely adore the rising tide.  sure, i have a few 
problems with it (just like everyone other sdre record, and every other 
album i own for that matter), a few of the lyrics are "awkward," 
"television" (although i do like it) reminds me way tooo much of pearl 
jam's "jeremy" (although supposedly the band didn't even realize it)... 
but for the most part it's an amazing, well-crafted album with just 
enough production.  whereas diary was about blowing you away with 
distorted guitar and screaming, and hiftbso was about proving that their 
music could be just as emotional without much of either, TRT has just 
enough diary-style rocking and hiftbso-style mellowness and superb 
vocals.  the lyrics are a departure from the earlier records, and i 
think a lot of people get confused by that... but i like them.  at 
first, it was almost kind of shocking to hear jeremy sing lines like 
"let's say you found a gun... how would your bad side burn?" and that 
kind of made it cool.  to me sunny day has always been more about the 
way the words are sung then the actual lyrics... diary has a few lyrics 
that sound like bad high-school poetry, but the passion in jeremy's 
vocals communicates so much more.  just like in TRT, although one's 
"everything and everyone..." is tremendously clich, you get a feeling 
that the band means way more than that.  every song on TRT communicates 
a specific feeling or message and i love them all.

what the hell do i listen to besides sunny day, you ask?  i listen to my 
fair share of the emo/indie stuff out there: cursive, juliana theory, at 
the drive-in, death cab for cutie, mineral, modest mouse, built to 
spill, pedro the lion, elliott smith, etc... however my music collection 
contains albums by people from garth brooks to snoop dogg.  in fact i 
listen to a lot of hip-hop like wu-tang, jurassic 5, black eyed peas... 
and yes, even eminem, more "mainstream" rock like deftones, smashing 
pumpkins,  and even (gasp!) foo fighters, neo-punk shiznit like nofx, 
h2o, 88 fingers louie, millencolin, afi... white-boy funk like dub 
narcotic, soul coughing... "fun" stuff like the presidents, weezer, nerf 
herder... and since i'm from seattle, i have my fair share of nirvana, 
pearl jam, and soundgarden records... basically i listen to everything 
but sugar pop, techno, limp bizkit-type bands, and so-called "easy 
listening."  but my favorite band of all time continues to be sunny day 
real estate... they have yet to let me down.

i just have this crazy feeling that

the first pressing of the "diary" LP is black.  not very elaborate.  you

RE: [sdre-l]: Lyric Writing

2000-07-02 Thread anthony

okay...

here's the breakdown.

if i understand correctly, "47" and "48" were the 47th and 48th songs written by sdre 
(in whatever form they were in at the time)
before jeremy joined, and seven, 8, and #9 were the seventh, eighth, and ninth songs 
written after he joined.

in circles -- i'm willing to say this was mostly jeremy, just because he uses this 
kind of imagery (wandering around doors, for
example) in his solo stuff...

grendel -- all jeremy. he made up the lyrics after dan was jamming on what became the 
song grendel, and he converted the
lines to greek (most of the song is in greek)

as far as the pink record, there never really were set lyrics... besides rodeo jones 
and 8 (both recorded previously) and friday
(having already been written out for the 7", although re-recorded for the album), 
jeremy pretty much made the rest of the stuff up
as he went... the band was pretty much already split up by vocal recording time. 
that's why dan doesn't sing on the pink record
(except for on "8," which was recorded previously). also, and i forget to ask this 
when i chatted with the band a couple weeks
ago, is that dan singing back-up on "red elephant"? just the very last line... "very 
well" or whatever it says... there's a seperate
voice, and it doesn't sound like jeremy overdubbing. you make the call.

j'nuh was totally jeremy, it's about a childhood experience of his.

spade and parade, bucket of chicken -- who knows.

hiftbso -- pretty equally split between jeremy and dan, or so i hear.

100 million: mostly dan i believe, i remember an interview where he was going off 
about the envirornmental issues covered in the
album.

guitar and video games, estya -- i think it's safe to say these are written by 
jeremy... especially considering he played them at a
solo show shortly after the band's first reunited show.

the rising tide: when i chatted with the band a few weeks ago, jeremy said dan wrote 
most of the lyrics on this one. however
"tearing in my heart" and "the ocean" are all jeremy... in fact they were originally 
solo jeremy tunes (although he never played
them)

as far as why dan doesn't sing anymore... i read somewhere that they said his vocal 
style just doesn't fit with the new songs,
although he does sing backup on roses in water (listen really carefully at the end 
during the "ahhh... ahhh" part)

 i think that this is how it goes... they jam out, and jeremy mumbles/sings stuff 
over the music and then
 dan and jeremy sit down and make a story to what it sounds like jeremy might be 
saying. i think that
 the reason the lyrics are so jumbled on LP2 is cause the never really sat down and 
wrote them out.
 they just talked about them so jeremy had to wing it.

good theory. basically that's how it worked from what i understand... for example with 
"astiocles"... jeremy was just making up
sounds while jamming and it sounded like "astiocles" so jeremy and dan decided to make 
up a fake mythological character
(yes, as opposed to those *real* mythological characters... eh, you know what i mean) 
to go along with it.

sdre signed a two-album deal on time bomb...

anyway, since i mentioned seven in my last show review i've gotten a few e-mails from 
people that mentioned they saw them
play seven at a show... yes, they did open with seven at one of the shows on the 
hiftbso tour (can't remember which) and they
did play it at bumbershoot 98 (i was there!). but it was very obvious they were doing 
it just to please the fans (or in the case of
bumbershoot, make the people that didn't know them very well go "oh yeah, this is the 
band that does that song" since it got a
lot of airplay on KNDD in seattle back in the day). when they played it, jeremy was 
not into it at all... it looked like he
couldn't wait for it to be over. they've mentioned a few times they're tired of it, 
and i certainly don't care... there are so many
other better songs of theirs. especially if they don't want to play it that much. but, 
like i said, everyone was yelling for seven
every time i saw them on the hiftbso tour... and i didn't hear anyone yelling for it

[sdre-l]: seattle show!!!

2000-06-21 Thread anthony

okay, here i go...

and yes, john, you can use this on your page.

there was a huge line waiting outside the theater until the doors swung open about 
6:30...

i walked in and saw FOUR new shirts for sale!!

1. a red shirt with the statue on the front and the diary-era "sunny day real estate" 
typewriter logo on the back

2. a blue shirt that was the same, except it had all the tour dates

3. a black shirt with a black and white (NOT grayscale, just black and white... like 
the picture in the cd bookelt) picture of the
three guys

4. the AWESOMEST THING EVER... a TSMAP shirt!!! the cover of TSMAP (minus the words) 
on the front, and sunny day real
estate in white and orange (like it is on tsmap) on the back! i'm wearing it now...

also for sale... PILLOWCASES! i couldn't believe this... and unfortunately i 
didn't have enough money to pick a set up... they
were plain white but had "morning comes in the dream before we rise" (a line from "the 
rising tide" -- if you folks haven't
memorized the lyrics yet) stitched into them... very very cool!!

also some stickers with the fly on them...

no knife was great. these guys were tight beyond belief... not a missed note, a 
skipped beat, the sound was perfect... just about
the best opening act i've ever seen... considering the fact they only played four 
songs i knew (the ones they played off their
latest album), and considering they were opening for my all-time favorite band, they 
put on a great set.

sunny day.

suy day.

there was a huge sdre fly on will's bass drum head! it looked hand-drawn to me, 
although i'm not sure... also, there was a big
feature about sunny day in the seattle times, and it shows will's drums with the TSMAP 
cover on the front of the bass drum...
maybe he's switching from night to night...

i usually bring along pencil and paper to write down the setlist... this time i 
forgot... but i'm pretty sure i remember it all...

One
In Circles
The Ocean
Snibe
Disappear
Guitar and Video Games
Tearing In My Heart
Fool In The Photograph
J'nuh

8

that's right, folks 8 it was incredible... will went nuts... for those of you 
disappointed that will has been holding back on the
fills and such, you will look forward to this... will was going even crazier than the 
recorded version...

anyway, i'm not sure what to think... i don't think i can really bring myself to say 
anything negative about sdre, ever... i don't think
my fingers will let me type anything bad... and this show definetly does not deserve a 
negative review... but this was not the best
sdre show i've ever seen. the set was too lop-sided as far as the new stuff goes (i 
know, it's the release day show, and they
have to play the new stuff... and don't get me wrong, i wanted to hear all the new 
stuff... too bad there wasn't time for my
favorites too) and there were a few other small problems too:

the new bassist... was just a bassist. he played the songs, and that was that. 
definitely didn't do justice to nate's, jeff's or
jeremy's basslines... it was enough to sound "right" but not enough to sound as great 
as nate or jeff or joe... some of the stuff
was really simplified.

the 3rd guitar/keyboard guy, however... this guy rules!! the keyboard lines sounded 
great, and he did the backup vocals... i'm
not trying to say he can sing like jeremy, but they managed to find a guy that really 
carries the backup vocals perfectly... for
example the end of snibe sounded perfect, he sounded just like jeremy does on the 
recording.

they also had a dude on a few of the songs that played tambourine and triangle! who is 
this guy?!?!?! how did he get the
greatest job in the world? i could do what he was doing, why can't i tour with sdre? i 
think he was a roadie or something, but
still, i'd move equipment around if i could tour with sdre... as long as they at least 
gave me a sandwich every night, they wouldn't
have to pay me...

in circles was in standard tuning... or in whatever tuning "killed by an angel" and 
"one" are in... because the song sounded very
different, and they didn't switch guitars... jeremy played the same guitar all night 
except for the acoustic in "the ocean"...

dan commented after a few tunes that "we're shaking the rust off" -- that's exactly 
what this show was.

there was something wrong with snibe. there was this big high-pitched whine during the 
whole thing... most of the people who
came to the show with me were trying to convince me it was the guitar... i think 
something was wrong. jeremy was having a
really hard time with it... missing lines and he started to look like he was really 
pissed... like he wanted to stop but the rest of the
band didn't... i'm not sure exactly what happened.

the sound was better for no knife than it was for sdre. jeremy's vocal microphone was 
not built to handle his voice... during the
"strange" in "one" the microphone just couldn't take it... and dan's mic 

[sdre-l]: record release party!!! RULED!!!

2000-06-20 Thread anthony

hey folks, just got back from the seattle record release party.

IT FUCKING RULED

we had to wait outside (the store was closed) forever... actually until 11:30 or so... 
then the doors swung open.

i bought the cd, the green double vinyl, and got a free shirt and *huge* (bigger than 
i am) poster.

chatted with the band too.

interesting things that came up in conversation:

* william said the clip before the "tearing in my heart" (the kids) is will's sister 
from many years ago. she was in france and
walking around with a tape recorder and recording kids playing

* it was time bomb's idea to have no knife come along on the tour... however dan, at 
least, really likes them

* i mentioned to jeremy that the mp3 of him on nick barber's answering machine is 
circulating around the internet... he started
freaking out about how upset he was all those years ago... "i went over to his house 
and he was just wearing that necklace... i
couldn't believe it!"

* will saw the american pie soundtrack sitting in a bin at the store and mentioned the 
sunny day poster in the movie... he had no
idea it was there until he saw the movie...

* someone tried to get will to autograph a foo fighters poster and he refused... "i 
can't sign that..."

* there is going to be at least one "new" song from the diary/lp2 era played on this 
tour...

* there are no plans for any singles/b-sides right now... although they already do 
have a new (untitled) song that isn't on the
record that dan said "will probably be our next single" (?)

* according to the poster that i got... sdre is playing vancouver bc on 8/2...

* my girlfriend laurie thinks will is hot, my friend chris thinks jeremy is hot, 
however they both agreed dan is not hot ("he's got that
neck-beard going," said chris)

* they plan to stay a three-piece (as far as recording goes) as of right now... the 
next album should be the same way...

* jeremy has been playing guitar since he was 12...

* i remember someone on the list asking why nick barber didn't come along as sdre's 
bassist... i mentioned this to jeremy and he
said that he's really busy now... not with music, but with his family and his son... 
jeremy also mentioned he doesn't plan to ever
have children...

* will spent all kinds of time talking about star wars memorbilia with a few fans...

i'll remember more stuff later...

i got a few e-mails, so here i am to answer a few questions:

the shirt just has the cover of the album on the front and "sonic boom" (the name of 
the record store) on the back... i don't think
it's really a sunny day t-shirt, just a promo shirt for sonic boom...

on second glance, the poster i got isn't really bigger than me... it's about 5 feet 
tall though... black and white version on the
statue from the cover... and lists the tour dates of the summer 2000 tour down the 
left bottom side... looks *rad* in my room...

will said the statue on the cover is a picture of a memorial statue in canada...

i thought it was kinda gutsy that the band thanked greg and janna and joe (bass) in 
the liner notes... the three people that
(arguably) they kinda screwed over when they changed labels/management...

did i read it wrong, or do the liner notes say that will SINGS in "the ocean"???

Emo #5
Still S.D.R.E. (featuring Snoop Dogg)
Sub Pop Sucks
Loud Distortion-Heavy Rock Song To Win Back Old Fans That Didn't Like Our Last Album
The Ocean
In Circles II
Ode To Jeff Palmer

"loud distortion..." will be the first single, and we all know ernesto will like it.

now you can see why i haven't posted in forever.

man, nobody stops by #SDRE anymore... my friends don't even believe me when i say "no, 
really, people do come in here
sometimes"

oh, by the way... to whoever thought it would be a cool idea to "take over" the SDREAA 
since i've been having server
problems: i'd get mad, but i don't feel like running the site anymore anyway. so 
thanks :)

my friend works (or i guess i shouldn't say, works... "learns" would be better) at a 
college radio station here in town... he says
they have a pre-release copy of diary that just says "sunny day real estate - t.b.a." 
and the in circles ep there... i'm going to try to
buy those goodies from the radio station... don't know if they'd go for it, though

hey, has anyone noticed that hiftbso and lp2 have been slightly altered since sdre 
left sub pop? most people probably haven't,
because they've only bought the cd once... but if you visit your local record store 
today, you will probably see that lp2 has a
UPC on the back of the cd, and that your copy at home doesn't (the UPC came as a 
sticker on the shrinkwrap, until recently).
also, if you see a new copy of hiftbso, you will notice that there's a sub pop 
copyright notice behind the disc itself, whereas on
the old copies it was just plain black. (my girlfriend recently got these records, 
that's when i noticed the differences.) my guess
is that's stuff that sub pop wanted to do all along, but the band didn't want them to 
do... and now that they aren't on the label
anymore, there's nothing they can do about it. or something.

patiently awaiting all the "dude, is that really the tracklist? i don't know about 
that... dude" replies...

[sdre-l]: sunny day audio archive... hiatus

2000-01-23 Thread anthony


hey folks...

haven't been checking out the list much of late.  glad everything is rolling again.

my wonderful girlfriend found the sdre/stt 7" and gave it to me for christmas... i'm a 
lucky boy.

i also got the sdre video for christmas (still don't have the live cd or vinyl) and i 
think it's okay.  the audio/video desynch is terrible, though.

all that stuff about joe not being in the band and jeremy playing bass is totally 
true.  you don't see joe in pictures because he never signed one contract... and thus 
is not a member of the band.

i've seen a lot of posts about the *defunct* sunny day audio archive.  well... the 
server to which i moved it went down, so once again (this is the third time) i must 
find a place to host this mutha'.  if anyone has any place that could host a few 
hundred megabytes of (rare/live/legal -- NOT commercially available) sunny day audio, 
e-mail me.

you guys sharing rare sunny day stuff on ftp servers and napster make me very happy.

you guys sharing sunny day album tracks on ftp servers and napster make me sick.

as far as the lp4 demo... yes, such a thing exists (see the official page news).  it's 
not a demo for record labels, it's a demo for studios.

time bomb is owned (or at least distributes through) bmg... you will be able to find 
the next sdre record at all the lame record stores.  believe me... i can find both 
mike ness (time bomb artist) records at the fred meyer (grocery/home/electronics 
store) at which i work.  and we don't stock ANYTHING.

[sdre-l]: SonicNet live album preview... more info

1999-10-13 Thread anthony

actually... sonicnet has more than just "in circles" from the live album up for 
preview... it picks a random track from the live album
and plays it when you go to that site.

http://concert.sonicnet.com/concerts/world_premiere/main.jhtml

go there, and go through all the stuff... and it plays a different track every time in 
it's little "tuner," which is slow and annoying
and shows you ads and stuff. so i did a little research:

pnm://rbn-sea4.rbn.com/sonicnet/sonicnet/demand/radio/sunny_day_real_estate/pillars_live28.ra
pnm://rbn-sea4.rbn.com/sonicnet/sonicnet/demand/radio/sunny_day_real_estate/guitar_and_video_games_live28.ra
pnm://rbn-sea4.rbn.com/sonicnet/sonicnet/demand/radio/sunny_day_real_estate/100_million_live28.ra
pnm://rbn-sea4.rbn.com/sonicnet/sonicnet/demand/radio/sunny_day_real_estate/song_about_an_angel_live28.ra
pnm://rbn-sea4.rbn.com/sonicnet/sonicnet/demand/radio/sunny_day_real_estate/in_circles_live28.ra

if you feed those addresses into yr realplayer, it will play those files... the other 
songs from the album either aren't up there, or i
can't figure out the file names of them... for you 56k users, i imagine it's the same 
thing except you replace "28" with "56"

sonicnet wouldn't approve, but i'm sure you do :)

anyway, it's hard to tell over a 28.8 modem for sure, but i'm already disappointed 
with the mixing of this record.

oh yeah, and for all of you (a lot) who haven't been paying attention:

the cd/2lp was recorded in eugene, or
the track list is:
Pillars
Guitars  Video Games
The Blankets Were The Stairs
100 Million
Every Shining Time You Arrive
Song About an Angel
The Prophet
J'Nuh
Rodeo Jones
In Circles
Days Were Golden

the video was recorded at the breakroom in seattle, wa 5/30/99
the track list is:
Pillars
Guitar  Video Games
The Blankets Were The Stairs
100 Million
Song About An Angel
The Prophet
Rodeo Jones
In Circles
J'Nuh
-- and then it has the videos for "seven" and "in circles"

Re: [sdre-l]: let's not estimate Dan at all

1999-07-25 Thread anthony

 you can get mp3s of the original versions of song #8 and song #9 from
 http://karl23.ml.org in the rare tracks section. these are from before jeremy
 joined the band and dan sings lead vocals. i love dan and all of his writing
 but i am not a huge fan of his voice. sounds very radio modern rock to me.
 but judge for yourself. or just listen and don't judge at all.

two corrections the site is http://karl23.ml.org/sdreaa/
and the songs that dan sings are "flatland spider" and "the onlies" not 8
and 9... jeremy had joined by then

and to anyone who got confused (a few of you) dan is not planning on doing a
solo album, it was just an idea (a very cool one, in my opinion) that someone
brought up.

[sdre-l]: *REPOST* Tutorial on how to use mIRC and get connected to #SDRE *REPOST*

1999-06-06 Thread anthony

hey... i've gotten a few e-mails recently on how to get into #SDRE chat,
so here's a repost of something i wrote a few months ago.  e-mail me
with any questions you have.

-

alrighty, for everyone who has asked, follow these steps to get set up
to particpate in #SDRE, the sunny day chat channel.  this is written at
the novice level, so for some of you it may seem like overkill, but i
don't want to get any e-mails back saying, "you told me to run the
program, how do i do that?"  also, for any mac users out there, i'll
have a tutorial for getting set up with ircle (www.ircle.com i believe)
in the near future...

I.DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING MIRC

Load up your web browser and browse to the site:

http://www.mirc.co.uk/

Once the page is loaded, click on the "Download mIRC" link.  If you use
Windows 95, 98, or NT, choose one of the download links under that
section.  Try to find one geographically close to you.  (I am in
Seattle, so I usually select "mIRC 5.51 (32) in California" or "mIRC
5.51 (32) in Alberta" since those are the two closest.)  This will
download the mIRC software to your computer.  Make sure to take note of
where you are saving the file, so you can get to the install program
later.

After the download, find the install program on your computer and run
it, if your browser didn't already do that for you.  Hit "OK" to all the
questions presented.  It should then tell you that mIRC installation was
successful.

II.STARTING MIRC AND SETTING UP A CONNECTION

Run mIRC from Start Menu | Programs | mIRC.  A little window will pop-up
with author's face and registration info.  (Oh yeah, did I forget to
mention, mIRC is shareware, and you should pay for mIRC if you use it,
although you don't *have* to.)  Click the "OK" box there and you will
find yrself at the Options menu.

Fill out the four fields:

Full Name: you don't have to use your full name, or even your actual
name.  a pseudonym or nice SDRE quote will do nicely.  this shows up
when people run a WHOIS on you to request more information about who you
are.  remember that on IRC, people can only know as much about you as
you want to tell them.
E-Mail Address: you can type anything you want in here, as long as it
has an @ in it.  this address doesn't show up to anyone.  (it's only
there to help set up an ident, which you don't need to worry about now.)

Nickname: the name you want to go by on IRC.  your "handle" as it were.
you must make this 1-9 letters.
Alternate: another nickname you would like to use if someone already has
the nickname you specified.

(Specifying an alternate nickname is optional.  When you connect, it
will try to use the nickname you specified.  If someone else on IRC is
using it, it will try the alternate if you specified one.  If you didn't
specify an alternate, or if the alternate is taken too, you will see the
message "Register First." upon connecting, and you will once again have
an opportunity to specify a nickname.)

Okay, here's the only complicated part, specifying an IRC server.  #SDRE
is on the EFNet IRC network, so you have to find a server that will
connect you to EFNet.  There are a few different ways to go about this,
but here's what I recommend you do:

Click "Add" -- a new window will pop-up
Under "Description" and "IRC Server" enter: irc.idle.net
Click "Add"

You are now configured to participate in EFNet IRC.  With any luck, you
will never have to do any of this stuff again.

III.GETTING CONNECTED AND ON TO #SDRE

If mIRC isn't running, start it up.  When the options menu comes back
up, click on "Connect to IRC server!"  (Make sure the irc.idle.net
connection you made is the one selected in the pop-up menu.)

Once you connect, a window will come up with a preset list of channels
you can join.  Hit "Cancel" to close it, then type this:

/join #SDRE

There you are!  Unless you hit a slow time, there should be a few other
SDRE fans there who want to chat with you.  On the right side of the
window will be a list of other people who are on #SDRE.

For the most part, just start typing.  You may want to just watch for a
second so you can see what people are talking about.  Although it is the
#SDRE, and normally only frequented by Sunny Day fans, the topic of
conversation is not always Sunny Day Real Estate.  The goal here is to
have a channel where SDRE fans can meet, but don't be surprised if they
are talking about anything but Sunny Day.

IV.COMMANDS

There are tons of commands to use on IRC, here are a few simple ones.
All commands start with a slash (/).  These examples assume your
nickname is "SDREFan".

/whois -- brings up detailed info on the nickname you specify.  for
example: /whois Famous

/me -- performs an action is whatever channel you are on.  this is
useful if you want to punch someone, kiss someone, jump out a window,
etc.  for example, if you type "/me punches Famous in the nose" you
would see "* SDREFan punches Famous in the nose"  it will make more
sense once you give it a 

Re: [sdre-l]: ??

1999-06-06 Thread anthony

 ANSIGOD, help us help you.  If you like, I'll make a page that tells
 people how to chat.  If you like it, use it on the site.

 dan

this is mostly for daniel here, but i thought i'd post to the list since it
involves the sunny day community

ansi and i have already been brainstorming ideas to best incorporate irc
into the official site.  what we're thinking about is an irc page that has
instructions for getting hooked up for all platforms (i already have windows
and mac tutorials written, i don't know if tutorials for other platforms are
*necessary* but i might write them anyway), a "profiles" section were
channel regulars can have info about themselves on-line, a "logs" section
for when a band member or someone else *interesting* stops by, and other
cool stuff.  we are also thinking of setting up a bot to run off
sunnydayrealestate.com, as opposed to the one i have now.

joe is the man.  right now he has an old mac classic, and it won't really do
much more than check his e-mail, but he's going to be getting a new PC by
the end of the year, and he's very interested on getting on irc and chatting
w/ fans and the like.  i don't know how likely it is to get anyone else from
the band in the channel, but it's possible.  (jeremy participated in an
on-line chat session via audionet, i think, during the rotfq tours.)

anyway, that's about it... people w/ cool ideas: e-mail me off-list.

Re: [sdre-l]: #sdre chat

1999-06-04 Thread anthony

the #sdre chatroom is on Efnet but i saw one on Dalnet too so i don't really

know which one is the 'official' ..if there is one.

neither is really "official"... but the one referenced on the list here is the
one on the EFNet... and is also frequented by a lot of listers, and ansigod
himself.  so (no dis to the dalnet folks, if any are here) the EFNet one is
the place to go.  i'm personally there just about every night, and also run
the bot "Lizadrin" that is there now.

also, some upcoming things:

ansi and i have been talking w/ joe about stopping by the channel to chat w/
some fans... he's getting a new computer around the end of the year, and is
very excited about stopping by.

there is going to be an upcoming section of sunnydayrealestate.com that ansi
and i are working on that will probably have #sdre channel users profiles and
logs.  we're also going to set up a new bot to replace lizadrin and run it off
sunnydayrealestate.com.



[sdre-l]: fasdgf

1999-06-03 Thread anthony

for some reason i've recieved a lot of e-mail, public and private about what
i've said.  some people agreeing with me, appluading me for sticking up for
the actual rules of the list when no one wants to do it anymore, and some people
criticizing me and saying i'm trying to "enforce the law" while the list owner
is out of town.  i'm tired of responding.  so i just won't anymore.  considered
this my last post on such topics.  ever.

i ask that you read the sdre-l welcome message and follow the rules stated therein.
 i ask that you keep in mind everything you send is sent to 200+ people.  i
ask that you keep in mind for the two or three people that might respond to
yr off-topic post, there are many more who are pestered daily by off-topic clutter.
 many people who have i have met in #SDRE chat are former members of the mailing
list who left because they couldn't handle the amount of mail that has nothing
to do w/ sunny day.  it's not fair to make this list, which should be for all
sunny day fans, a place where people don't want to be.

i pretty much have to be on this list... since i run #SDRE chat (which is soon
becoming the official sunny day chat channel... stay tuned...), my own audio
site, and help w/ the official site.  i stay on here to keep informed.  but
i really don't like it anymore, and i'm not alone.  you can call me an asshole
for that if you like... but why?

anyway, anyway... here is some cool info i got from joe...

first of all, for those wondering about the new "loud" ending of "days were
golden"... so far they've only played it that way at the UW show in april. 
basically it's up to jeremy every night if they want to do it or not, and the
show at UW was the only time so far.

also... the set lists are going to remain pretty much the same until they begin
work on the new album... but once they start playing shows on the fourth album,
expect not only new songs live, but some old songs they have yet to play.



Re: Re: [sdre-l]: a little weird

1999-05-21 Thread anthony

at school on channel one( a news program) came on playing the new sunny
day "roses in WATER" and i think they played circles too??

oh yeah!  channel one (which really, really, sucks... it's a news program by
ABC that is shown in some high schools across the US, in which the only real
point is to get corporate advertising into public schools) has played sunny

Re: [sdre-l]: sort of official lyrics (no)

1999-05-08 Thread anthony

yup... i noticed this too.  i don't want to speak for brian, but since he is out of 
town (i believe) i should probably
explain...

when sunnydayrealestate.com was still getting off the ground, the guys in the band 
said they'd provide lyrics to the pink
album and other rarities for the site.  so, while brian was working on the site, he 
put in spaces and made files that
would hold the lyrics once he recieved a copy of them.  he then later got word that 
those lyrics would remain
unavailable.  those files that were going to hold those lyrics are still on the 
server, and like the earlier poster
commented, you can't get to them from any link, you have to guess at the filenames.  
but, keep in mind, the only file
that has anything listed is "theo b." and those are just unofficial lyrics that were 
pasted in as a test.

NO official lyrics exist for lp2!  there's nothing on the server that anyone is trying 
to hide from you, really... the
only place those lyrics exist are in jeremy's head.

now, people, let's find something more productive to do than snooping around web 
directories.

 hello,

   i don't know if you already know this but i have a page of theo b lyrics on the 
official sunny
 day real estate website.there is no links to it

[sdre-l]: erika jacobs / breakroom show

So go see Damien.
Also Erika Jacobs plays cello on the record.  Erika was in
Enigk's touring orchestra.

for all ya'll who says death cab for cutie open for sdre, erika plays on cello
on death cab's cd too.

also... sdre is playing the breakroom in seattle on 5/30... i'm sure the breakroom
is a 21+ club, which surprised me because i haven't known sunny day to play
21+ shows, at least not the *reunited* sdre.  ah well.  does anyone know for

way" to get in

[sdre-l]: Rocket's Top 300 Northwest Albums of all time

1999-05-01 Thread anthony schmidt

seattle-area bi-weekly music newspaper The Rocket just published a list of the 300 
northwest albums of all time, as picked by
their reviewers.

"Diary" -- #36
"LP2" -- #108
"How It Feels To Be Something On" -- #147
Jeremy's "Return Of The Frog Queen" -- #204

also sdre related:

Foo Fighters -- #58
Foo Fighters' "Colour and the Shape" -- #102
Christ On A Crutch's "Crime Pays When Pigs Die" -- #218

the posies were in their a few times, but not for any records that joe played on.

death cab for cutie, 764-hero, and thirty-ought-six were also on the list (sdre has 
played shows with them before)

the covers of HIFTBSO and ROTFQ are featured prominently on the cover of the new

Re: [sdre-l]: incredible show.... of course

1999-04-27 Thread anthony

 Just to answer all questions about the "new song played during the sound
 check", it was not played.

yup... i've heard that there will be no new tunes live until they start working
on the new record...

 But the biggest change was a new "loud" portion of Days Were Golden.  Will is
 usually playing his intricate rim-tap thing basically the whole time, but he
 slammed away on the cymbals and the whole song got loud for a while, I think
 Jeremy added another verse, but I'm not sure.

this was amazing.  it took everyone totally by surprise... at first i thought
they were about to play another song.  there was a totally new verse too.  no
extra verse on the bridge on "in circles" though.

okay, a lot of people have already posted about the show, so i'll just throw in
some random comments.

joe sang back-up on almost every song, a lot more than dan...

dan commented on how he "was never much for school spirit, but it's great to
back here"

still a lot of dumbasses yelling for "seven"... grr... one guy even went as far
as, while they were switching guitars, to yell "that better be the guitar you
play 'seven' on!"

a request for "48" was greeted with "i like that request, i wish we knew them
all" from dan.

i've had death cab for cutie's cd for a while now... but their live show blew me
away.  they are very, very few bands out there that could follow death cab's
set.  sdre is, of course, one of them.

they sold the lp2 and hiftbso shirts and stuff (that you can order from
sunnydayrealestate.com) at the show...

a few of my friends ran into dan before the show, and asked what they were going
to play, and dan said "we'll be playing a few songs we haven't played in a
while."  which (although sunny day was of course beyond awesome) left me kind of
disappointed because it was pretty much the same set they always play.

they played shudder to think over the p.a. between bands, that was kinda cool...

there was this really cool chick who gave me a pen so i could write down the set
list... if yr reading, you rule!

speaking of cool people, mad shout-outz to the famous matt carlson (if he's
still on the list), alicia, and those other cool people i always see at sunny
day shows...

in another kinda related note, i'm convinced that as far as hot chicks go...
female sunny day fans are #1 on the list.

stella marris was pretty cool... it has the guitar player from tool my
friend alex, between one of their songs, yelled, "that guy from tool rules!"
really loud... and the whole band stopped and looked at each other... that was
pretty funny

will didn't waste any time, that shirt was off by the third song.

going to denny's after seeing sdre is about the biggest anti-climax ever.

Re: [sdre-l]: OTS--SoRT OF

1999-04-08 Thread anthony

During the Knnd Radio interviews that sdre minus jeremy did, will and dan said

that Neurosis was the main influence behind the song seven.   I found that
very
interesting being that i have been a hardcore neurosis fan for many many years.

When i did the favorite bands poll i didn't notice one vote for neurosis...

Are there any other neurosis fans out there???  Please respond privately, i

just  got a promo copy of their new one that is coming out in may, so i can

write a review for anyone who is interested?

um... i don't think they meant the band neurosis (whoever that may be)... i
think they meant neurosis itself was the inspiration.  i think it was supposed
to be what i like to call "humorous."  hmmm... maybe not.



Re: [sdre-l]: bass

1999-04-08 Thread anthony

I kinda think that dan and jeremy wrote all the bass lines for the 
albums, because if you've heard nate/palmer/skyward in other bands 
it's nothing like the style in sdre..just a thought. mabye someone who 
knows that band could ask them who wtites the bass lins. also I was 
wondering how long it takes them to write a song, anyone know?

jeff wrote all the basslines for hiftbso with some help from dan.  as far as
nate songs, i'm not sure... i know he wrote at least some of the basslines.
 the reason the style sounds different is because the band style is different...
if you are good you can accomodate.  (for example, i play drums in a punk band,
and when i try to play other styles of music, they end up sounding punk.  this
means i am not a very good drummer, which is true.)

woah... just noticed that the deftones recorded "adrenaline" at bad animals
in seattle... same place diary was mixed.  interesting.

also... did anyone notice sdre is on mp3.com?

which one to use), how to join the channel, and what to do once you are
there

give me a few hours though, i just woke up.  :)

[sdre-l]: Tutorial on how to use mIRC and get connected to #SDRE

1999-03-19 Thread anthony

alrighty, for everyone who has asked, follow these steps to get set up
to particpate in #SDRE, the sunny day chat channel.  this is written at
the novice level, so for some of you it may seem like overkill, but i
don't want to get any e-mails back saying, "you told me to run the
program, how do i do that?"  also, for any mac users out there, i'll
have a tutorial for getting set up with ircle (www.ircle.com i believe)
in the near future...

I.DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING MIRC

Load up your web browser and browse to the site:

http://www.mirc.co.uk/

Once the page is loaded, click on the "Download mIRC" link.  If you use
Windows 95, 98, or NT, choose one of the download links under that
section.  Try to find one geographically close to you.  (I am in
Seattle, so I usually select "mIRC 5.51 (32) in California" or "mIRC
5.51 (32) in Alberta" since those are the two closest.)  This will
download the mIRC software to your computer.  Make sure to take note of
where you are saving the file, so you can get to the install program
later.

After the download, find the install program on your computer and run
it, if your browser didn't already do that for you.  Hit "OK" to all the
questions presented.  It should then tell you that mIRC installation was
successful.

II.STARTING MIRC AND SETTING UP A CONNECTION

Run mIRC from Start Menu | Programs | mIRC.  A little window will pop-up
with author's face and registration info.  (Oh yeah, did I forget to
mention, mIRC is shareware, and you should pay for mIRC if you use it,
although you don't *have* to.)  Click the "OK" box there and you will
find yrself at the Options menu.

Fill out the four fields:

Full Name: you don't have to use your full name, or even your actual
name.  a pseudonym or nice SDRE quote will do nicely.  this shows up
when people run a WHOIS on you to request more information about who you
are.  remember that on IRC, people can only know as much about you as
you want to tell them.
E-Mail Address: you can type anything you want in here, as long as it
has an @ in it.  this address doesn't show up to anyone.  (it's only
there to help set up an ident, which you don't need to worry about now.)

Nickname: the name you want to go by on IRC.  your "handle" as it were.
you must make this 1-9 letters.
Alternate: another nickname you would like to use if someone already has
the nickname you specified.

(Specifying an alternate nickname is optional.  When you connect, it
will try to use the nickname you specified.  If someone else on IRC is
using it, it will try the alternate if you specified one.  If you didn't
specify an alternate, or if the alternate is taken too, you will see the
message "Register First." upon connecting, and you will once again have
an opportunity to specify a nickname.)

Okay, here's the only complicated part, specifying an IRC server.  #SDRE
is on the EFNet IRC network, so you have to find a server that will
connect you to EFNet.  There are a few different ways to go about this,
but here's what I recommend you do:

Click "Add" -- a new window will pop-up
Under "Description" and "IRC Server" enter: irc.idle.net
Click "Add"

You are now configured to participate in EFNet IRC.  With any luck, you
will never have to do any of this stuff again.

III.GETTING CONNECTED AND ON TO #SDRE

If mIRC isn't running, start it up.  When the options menu comes back
up, click on "Connect to IRC server!"  (Make sure the irc.idle.net
connection you made is the one selected in the pop-up menu.)

Once you connect, a window will come up with a preset list of channels
you can join.  Hit "Cancel" to close it, then type this:

/join #SDRE

There you are!  Unless you hit a slow time, there should be a few other
SDRE fans there who want to chat with you.  On the right side of the
window will be a list of other people who are on #SDRE.

For the most part, just start typing.  You may want to just watch for a
second so you can see what people are talking about.  Although it is the
#SDRE, and normally only frequented by Sunny Day fans, the topic of
conversation is not always Sunny Day Real Estate.  The goal here is to
have a channel where SDRE fans can meet, but don't be surprised if they
are talking about anything but Sunny Day.

.COMMANDS

There are tons of commands to use on IRC, here are a few simple ones.
All commands start with a slash (/).  These examples assume your
nickname is "SDREFan".

/whois -- brings up detailed info on the nickname you specify.  for
example: /whois Famous

/me -- performs an action is whatever channel you are on.  this is
useful if you want to punch someone, kiss someone, jump out a window,
etc.  for example, if you type "/me punches Famous in the nose" you
would see "* SDREFan punches Famous in the nose"  it will make more
sense once you give it a try.

/quit -- when you are done on IRC, type /quit and proceed it with a
message.  for example, type "/quit time for dinner" and you will be
disconnected from IRC, and people 

[sdre-l]: irc / list reply / videos

1999-03-18 Thread anthony

 which server is #sdre on (efnet, undernet, dalnet)?

efnet.  there are about six people there right now.

 and is there a problem with the sdre-l? when i hit reply, it was gonna

 send directly to ansigod instead of the list. h...

i think it was set up that way to cut back on the amount of accidental
postings to the list.

 Does anyone know where I can get videos in ANY form (for the computer)

 of "Seven" and "In Circles?"

"seven" is up in realvideo on my audio site,

Re: [sdre-l]: SPEAKING OF

1999-03-17 Thread anthony

 ...I think these go something like:

 You opened my eyes / when I was sleeping / You came to my side / thank you so
 much (or "thank you jesus" or "thank you someone")

i do believe that's it... i always believe he sings, "you are the lord, you
opened my eyes up when i was sleeping, thank you..." on "waffle."  what a cool
line.  it means so many different things at once.

i read this in a review with jeremy in the rocket (during his solo days):

"Of the two main sources of inspiration for [Frog Queen]'s material, one is
obvious -- God -- but the other significant force is that Jeremy fell deeply in
love.  'It's like the whole U2 thing, basically about God and love with a
girl.  I read an intreview with Bono where he was talking about "With Or
Without You."  He's not only speaking about God, but his wife as well.'"

i think "you opened my eyes" is a really good example of that.
