if there are 13 people in this lucky 13 group, that should be enough to come to a decent consensus about what the first couple of releases could be, and how to sell them. how wrong can it go?
don’t attempt to go through the archives in a chronological order. there is no point. there are only disadvantages.
anyone else?
either way, i think it’s a bad idea to turn to the community (again) to set up the sprc. it doesn’t work.
it might be interesting to let people vote what show they want to see a release of every now and then, but i don’t think you need to hear everyone in order to select what you want to release, or – even worse – to decide how you’re going to sell them.
just get this thing going, and then maybe later add a poll to your website. (e.g. \"we have ten similar siamese dream shows. we want to release one on cd next. which one should we release?\") there’s no need for any of that now.
i understand that there is some sort of premise that every release should be able to make enough money so that there is no loss. but do you really need to discuss this with \"the community\"? just use some common sense, and have some confidence in the stuff you’re releasing. try a couple of different ways to release stuff. see how things go.
this whole thing is just another attempt to acquire a kind of certainty about the success of these sprc releases. by \"listening to the community\", they want to make sure that everyone will be behind these releases, aka everyone will buy them for sure. which is first of all a bit of a pussy move. on top of that, it’s a bad move, for multiple reasons, and it might as well blow up again, just like it did last time.
just release stuff in a sensible way, and with every decent release, you’ll gain support.
also, if you’re so afraid that a release won’t make enough money to cover the costs, then go ahead and do one of them fucking kickstarter things. whatever. i’m already rolling my eyes though.the thing i would maybe try – but i don’t think it’ll save me – is pressing myself between two walls of the elevator. for example, my two hands on the left wall, and my two feet on the right wall, about a metre above the floor. it will be impossible to stay in that position on impact, but maybe it’ll help a little bit? probably not.
it’s probably very hard/impossible to jump when you’re floating in an elevator. and to time it correctly.
and i’m not even sure if that would save you. actually, i don’t think it will.
you’re falling as fast as the elevator. even if you manage to jump in the elevator while it’s falling, you’re netto speed will still be very fast towards the bottom. you can’t negate that with a jump. also, after your jump, your speed will have increased again with the same amount you decreased it by jumping in the first place. (what goes up must come down.)
impact will be delayed slightly, but that’s it, i think.The Pinocchio paradox was proposed in February 2001 by 11 year old Veronique Eldridge-Smith. Veronique is the daughter of Dr. Peter Eldridge-Smith, who works for Australian National University and specializes in Logic and the Philosophy of Logic. Peter Eldridge-Smith explained the liar paradox to Veronique and Veronique’s older brother, and asked the children to come up with their own versions of the famous paradox. In a few minutes Veronique suggested: \"Pinocchio says âMy nose will be growingâ\". Dr. Eldridge-Smith liked the formulation of the paradox suggested by his daughter and wrote an article on the subject. The article was published in the journal Analysis, and the Pinocchio paradox became popularized on the web.[/quote:3heb0isq]

i don’t think i know any of those songs. (maybe i’d recognise one or two if i heard them. but the titles don’t ring a bell.)i thought it was pretty obvious they were doing a string of covers.
