I keep getting this error anytime I try to burn FLAC, WAVpack, or mp3's to an audio CD with Nero:

There's a definite drop in quality when the mono elements are dropped in. For those, you may want to consider using the 5.1 mix as a jumping-off point, getting rid of the center channel and downmixing everything else to stereo, and then mix the mono version in *over* that, so the quality difference isn't that noticeable. Unless that's completely ludicrous, which, given my limited experience in such things, is entirely possible.

Incorrect on the Free as a Bird in more ways than one.

When making the Anthology miniseries, Yoko provided some home tapes of John playing piano and singing some unreleased songs he was working on. One of them was Free as a Bird, which was mostly incomplete. After massive tweaking and cleaning of the tapes, Paul wrote a new verse or two to fill in the gaps, and Paul, George, and Ringo "finished" the song basically by putting music to John's vocals. This resulted in the song released in 1995 as "Free as a Bird," which is credited to all four Beatles.

There were two other songs the band was considering using, but one was considered unusable due to the condition of the tape, and the other was an early version of "Real Love," which Lennon had finished at one point and recorded but not officially released until long after his death. This version contained almost completely different lyrics. Unlike Free as a Bird, Real Love was complete lyrically, so all the lyrics are John's. Once again, after extensive cleanup, the remaining three "finished" it, and the result was "Real Love," released in 1996. Both songs are also included on the Anthology CDs, "Bird" the first track on Anthology 1 and "Love" the first track on Anthology 2.

So technically, they are John Lennon solo songs that the surviving members of the Beatles finished almost twenty years later, and 15 years after his death. Also, if you do consider them part of the Beatles' discography, Real Love was the last song the Beatles released, not Free as a Bird.

Revolver
I'm Only Sleeping

As for sitar song, Norwegian Wood, but that's probably because it's the first thing I learned to play on guitar.

By the way, does anyone have the Dr. Ebbetts releases of the albums? I have the Blue Box stereo mixes and the mono mixes and I highly prefer the mono mixes, especially of Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's and the White Album. Highly recommended - they're transfered with great care from high-quality copies of the original vinyl, and sound infinitely better than the official CDs. Most of them have been posted in FLAC format on Demonoid.

Speaking of Ebbetts, can someone perhaps point me to where I can find the UK Singles Collection Vol. 2? I'm trying to make my own personalized version of Past Masters, and I'm using all of Dr. Ebbetts' original transfers - UK Singles, UK EP Collection, Beatles VI, and Rarities, plus the official CDs for Free as a Bird and Real Love. The only one I still need is Ebbetts' UK Singles Collection Vol. 2, and I can't find it anywhere - no matter how many Ebbetts torrents people post on Demonoid, UK Singles is never part of them.

Recreational drug use

I was having a discussion at lunch with a few friends, and I've noticed that everyone I've talked to seems to have a very strong opinion on recreational drug use. This got me curious - what are your views on this?

As for me, I think if one is well-informed, with non-pressuring friends in a comfortable environment, and not using anything that could potentially kill you or that is easily addicting, it's not particularly worse than alcohol, and I don't see why certain illegal narcotics are as strictly illegal as they are, marijuana being the major standout in that subject.

Hopefully I'm not accidentally violating any rules with this (haven't looked at the forum rules in a long time) and hopefully I don't offend anyone, but I'm curious - what do you think?

I have complete discographies for The Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Who, Tenacious D and Spinal Tap (those last two aren't hard, though), which is why all the results were pretty much exclusively from them.

And creepily , some of these are very appropriate - "Save Me" for the death scene, and "The Trial" for mental breakdown, for example.

Just finished Superman II. I was amazed at how flawlessly and seamlessly 99% of the edit was done - it's just that damn good. From now on, THIS is the DVD I'll pop in when I'm watching Superman II.

I had only one major problem with this edit: The way the depowering scene was handled. I agree with keeping it pre-coital rather than post-coital, but there's no reason for Lois to be dressed in Superman's shirt and then, two minutes later, she's putting on a robe/gown/whatever. At first doesn't seem possible to work around. The only other fan-edit of Superman II I've seen is "The Booshman Cut." While the edit as a whole is, in my opinion, unfortunately sub-par, Booshman interwove the footage in such a way that Lois is always wearing the robe and it works perfectly, flawlessly, just like it was shot that way. I'm often bothered very badly by choppy edits in fan-edited movies (such as the bar scene in your Pearl Harbor, ADM) and Booshman's edit of that scene was perfect.

The only other problem I had - and this is minor - was that you left the toilet scene in the Fortress of Solitude in ("I found it! ... I think.") - unfortunately I don't see a way around it that doesn't make a choppy edit.

Having said all that, your edit was amazingly fantastic - since I just recently got a widescreen HDTV I wish the release could have been a dual-layer, as I've found that all my single-layer backups or edits don't exactly look great on the new TV.

Since 2/3 of my post seems to be naysaying, I'll mention a few of my favorite parts:

- The inclusion of the Arctic Police scene while seamlessly cutting the Smallville Smasher line
- The seamless cutting of the heat-vision when Lois falls
- The immensely superior pacing over the "Donner Cut"
- The extension of the East Houston scenes
- The cut from the Arctic Police scene to after the Fortress was "destroyed" - I forgot it was supposed to be gone until well into their talk
- Something no one else will notice but I loved: the inclusion of the Donner Cut credits AND the Lester Cut credits.

Among many other things, but those were the ones that stood out to me that I can think of right this moment.

Excellent job, ADM. 9.5/10 - I'm downloading Redeemed as we speak and am greatly looking forward to seeing it.

I hated Day 5. I hated the way they treated the characters, I hated the rather outlandish storyline that I quite honestly can't even really remember anymore, and I hated the rushed ending, which now seems far too much like a gimmick than it did even then (the whole idea takes up a whopping 15 minutes of time - 5 at the end of Day 5, 10 at the beginning of Day 6).

Day 6 on the other hand is shaping up quite nicely - I like that they're dissecting Jack's character a lot more than they have in the past, and I like the bold move of blowing up part of LA in the first 4 hours. We'll see where this leads, though, because Day 5 had me - cautiously - hooked after the first 10 minutes.

As I said before.

Why is it an issue?

Just cut the turning-back-time altogether. The Arctic Police take Lex and the Kryptonians away, he destroys the Fortress, he drops Lois off at her house, he goes and gets revenge on the bully, movie over. Why does Lois need to forget, especially if we're now treating these as a simple two-part epic rather than a series with further sequels?

There's no reason for the Fortress anymore - his father is gone. The Arctic Police scene *does* contain one small plothole(?) - Lex menitons "Smallville," which he would not know about in the film universe as he doesn't know Superman is Clark Kent. But that can be cut. And I dunno of the condition, I wasn't paying a hell of a lot of attention when I saw it.

There's also an alternate getaway scene that's less campy than the balloon one, but I like the balloon scene, personally.

I'd cut straight from the balcony scene to the diner scene and let the movie finish from there. Why does Lois need to forget, anyway? Superman should trust her, like he says he does. She doesn't need to be made to forget, and I was never a fan of Lester's ending. But that's my opinion.

And there's some clunky editing between Supes/Lois, Luthor, and the Kryptonians in the late beginning/early middle, I think, that should be addressed. But other than that, fantastic edit, lightyears better than the theatrical version. I could care less about III and IV. Make it a two-part epic.

And *maybe* put in the arctic police scene. Maybe.

The aforementioned Echoes by Pink Floyd is my absolute favorite song. And at 23 and a half minutes, it most definitely is too long for crazyrabbits if the measley 8-minute Stairway is too long.

Also among my tops are The Beatles' I'm Only Sleeping, Led Zeppelin's No Quarter, Rush's 2112, The Who's Baba O'Riley, and The Doors' Spanish Caravan.

But I'm more of an album person, not really individual songs. As such, my top albums (after 5, there are too many to list them in an order, but these are in order from the greatest album of all time on down):

1. Revolver - The Beatles
2. Tommy - The Who
3. The Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
4. Who's Next - The Who
5. Led Zeppelin IV

I hate it when someone you care about more than anyone else, who you think cares about you, turns around and lies to you then betrays your trust by telling another friend something you talked about in confidence.

Add the fact that I did the same thing but on a larger scale to this person a year ago, and, well, I can't really say anything to her about it, now can I?
