Yup, cool mayo. What’s next? Shopping spree is on, it looks to me.

[Arthur]

and we are even worse at deraling them together. i think one night we derailed like 4 in a matter of like 5 minutes. that is why we have our own forum to post our sillyness, although it does tend to seep out.[/quote:1uiob3io]
We need new clues for the contest there. Or are you waiting for manilla to answer the last ones?

[Arthur]

My first thread got derailed by the dynamic duo Does that mean that I passed the initiation then?[/quote:2iid4rxr]
I think so!

Arthur, Aaron said that we can post it as a sticky in the forums but he said no to the front page because a lot of other sites have asked him for similar situations and he’s always said no, so it’s nothing personal against this site. Still want a sticky post in the forum at least?[/quote:2iid4rxr]
Sure! Thanks already! It is very much appreciated! And if we can do something back for you guys, shoot!

[Arthur]

I think so too.

[Arthur]

OK, artwork is back. It’s still made in Paint, but completely redone in much higher resolution. PNG was not used, it only blows up the filesize, it made no obvious difference in printing quality, so I used da good ol’ JPG format again. Also I connected both pages of the booklet together. What I noticed was that the old artwork (beta version ) was still pretty good when being printed. There is obviously quite a difference between a laptop screen and a print from a laserprinter. The laserprinter wins big times! Weird. But cool.

Anyway, please go back here:

to download the artwork now. And I hope you have fun with this Smashing Pumpkins live compilation! Let me know what you think OK? I have been playing these songs for days and days in a row now!

[Arthur]

Nice nice nice… You seem to have found a one-off TAFH vinyl box? And vinyl in a cassette box?

Seriously, do I see a Zeitgeist watermarked promo there too? Good find if so. I still don’t have it yet.

And how do you keep & order it? I order my collection by country, and within country I order by year.

[Arthur]

We dont have it on Spfreaks it seems.Ill take some pics of it and mail it.Seem the other US Promo is not listed on Spfreak as well.[/quote:2bljyh9e]
Just checking, I wouldn’t want you to scan things for nothing.

Does it look like this, the unmastered Machina?

I have mixed feelings about this pic.

One way it’s tremendously cool to do and wear whatever you like (within certain limits of course, but Billy is far away from crossing any lines here). On the other hand… This type of \"androgyn_partly_naked_show_off_crossdressing\" is not what Billy suits most in my humble opinion. But in an artistic way I think it’s a supercool statement also. I’m mixed about it. As you can notice…

[Arthur]

So I couldn’t help but feel Arthur was there as well, as least in spirit.[/quote:2sj6cwsb]
Sooooo sweet!

Good & personal review manillascissor. Glad you liked the show. To be honest I was hoping already that this one would be more to your likings, compared to the one you went to last year. Nice!

[Arthur]

No offence Reggaeluv2000. I love you, in a SPfreaky way. Muah!

[Arthur]

what am I downloading? I don’t see any artwork-although it goes back to the age old question,what am I downloading-I was a lazy bum and didn’t read the whole thread…[/quote:1y48uim2]
You triple lazy bum! Keep an eye on this post. Bookmark it, for gods sake! Learn it by head even! Geezz!!

http://forum.spfreaks.com/viewtopic.php?p=12762#12762 <= this one here

^^ yes that one

[Arthur]

I know what you mean mayonaise. I have the same dilemma on 3 areas of my life too:

-Can I expect my \"professional\" colleagues to have the same work attitude as me?
-Can I expect my friends/webmasters on SPfreaks.com to have the same passion & time as me?
-Can I expect my girlfriend to have the same standards for (in)justice, respect & politics?

Of course not. It’s a challenge sometimes to deal with it, but it makes you really mature too. GranDaddy talks here.

Seriously, dare to make the next step and execute that challenging move in your career. It’s fun.

[Arthur]

OK, thanks.

<new images will be provided shortly>

[Arthur]

PULP FICTION. JULES SAYS IT.[/quote:2pwjcpo9]
Relieved.

[Arthur]

Oops, I need to apologize to you Superlord. I rechecked a little on the artwork, and under a certain angle of my laptop screen it shows clearly that printing will go terribly wrong, with lots of blurry stuffs everywhere. That is too cheap, even for me! Funny thing is, that isn’t visible when the screen is standing straight up. Geezz, I didn’t realize that Paint does such things!

I’ll try to redo it tonight. It will be low resolution anyway, but what software would you advice to use Superlord?

<edit> Better idea, if I send the original pics to you Superlord, could you create this same artwork? I remember you have quite the pro software that is needed for such job. I did it in just 15-20 minutes, I guess it would be same job for you? You can credit yourself on the inside then, if you like.

[Arthur]

Also, couldn’t you have used something other than paint for the covers? It’s just that it all looks… well, bit unprofessional. No cover to anything should have aliased fonts [/quote:3bu86znq]
3 things.

-Copyright issues
-First cheap obscure underground SPfreaks production
-Will be worth 100’s of dollars in 25 years or so, mark my words

So far I have found no reasons to go against these rules. You loose, Superlord. Be my guest to try it again next time.

[Arthur]

I think they’re shy when \"the Big Blamo Guy\" is around. It’s lonely at the top.

Or they don’t work with niteshyfts (because they have daytime jobs ).

The most plausible reason will be, they’re extremely busy making posters and other artwork.

[Arthur]

I’m also a closet weather freak so I’m def. keeping an eye out on this![/quote:1mhtodbj]
CWfreaks.com. You’re now on SPfreaks.com. Just a reminder… [/quote:1mhtodbj]

Aww! And here I was gonna post radars, weather charts, and other unintelliglble technical gobbledegook. Drat! [/quote:1mhtodbj]

[Arthur]

kool and the gang.[/quote:3fzoxde3]
I can just, only just, handle My Chemical Romance being mentioned here, but this ? You’re pushing it big times bullet! That’s not you! What happened?

[Arthur]

haha you did it. thats cool though. [/quote:2b93vezl]
Not for the lazy bum members however. Because I also think they are spoiled rotten kids that shouldn’t even bother about this topic. Sometimes I can just only frown, shake my old head and be slightly shocked about the bad influence of the non-spanking policy. Where are we going with this world?

No, I needed a 1 page upload to link to from the homepage of SPfreaks.com. I wrote a little SPfreaks News article for the guests about this download. So, the lazy bum members got what they wanted anyway… Lucky them!

[Arthur]

I could do without the ads and the constant negativity, but like ryoga, I take it with a grain of salt.[/quote:2w9izpic]
I’ll start a new topic called "The Fall Of The Roman Empire" about Netphoria OK? This is not the place now…

[Arthur]

Arthur, I just want to tell you that you have done a wonderful job on this site and I visit it often. I especially enjoy the visual images to go with the information, they have been most helpful. Thank you.[/quote:4cb4bg2w]
You’re welcome, ryoga. I’m glad you came around to speak your mind. Because what you say is 100% true, we all "steal" info everywhere. Some have the courtesy to name the source, and some don’t. You had the courtesy to name us, so you’re cool in my opinion.

It was not my intention to start a virtual war about this, I was just happily surprised that we managed to have some news here that wasn’t on SP.com, Ozphoria, HipstersUnited and obviously Netphoria. And instead us following other sources, we happened to be a source ourselves. Funny.
