"Jarl Sigurd" jarlsig...@geocities.com
Seeing as no one has sucessfully solved the listening test I posted two weeks ago, I've decided to institute a new, improved listening test to see if all of you tone experts actually know your stuff.
I've posted a brand new song at http://www.ampcast.com/JarlSigurd entitled "Impaled on a Needle". It features 9 guitar solos. Of those 9 guitar solos, solos 3, 4, 7, & 8 are on MIDI guitar.
Solos 1, 2, 5, 6 & 9 were recorded in Audio. Of these solos, one solo was recorded using a Marshall Amp(recorded direct), one solo was recorded using an ART SGX 2000 Express preamp/ effects processor, one solo was recorded using a ADA MP1 preamp, one was recorded using a Marshall Shredmaster pedal plugged directly into my computer soundcard and one solo was recorded clean with distortion being added after the fact with Cakewalk FX2 amp simulation software. My challenge to you is to determine which one of solos 1, 2, 5. 6 and 9 in "Impaled on a Needle" was recorded which way? I await eagerly your responses!
Jarl Sigurd to participate in Jarl Sigurd's listening test, visit http://www.ampcast.com/JarlSigurd and download "Impaled on a Needle"

[ something unimportant ] The actual test is *not* what Jarl outlined. He's a wily li'l MIDI farmer, so he's using abnormal psychology on us, y'know. The test is actually to see how many seconds of his "tune" you can muster before firing off a disbelieving missive to Usenet, or perhaps even writing a tribute to him -- such as I have done! -- which can be found at www.artistcollaboration.com/users/orenzero/xleggedcat.mp3.
I'm still finalizing lyrics for the verses, but this gives you some idea where it's headed.

To echo Paul Simpson's comments from last week, don't even reply to his posts - it only encourages people to download his *stuff* - I can't even call it music.
especially when it is cross posted, which is also strongly discouraged in the FAQ.
Cheers James
"Paul Simpson" p_r_simpsonSPAMBL...@hotmail.com
Because it replicates the link to his music in the replies and spreads it, which is *exactly what he wants*. He knows he's making crap 'music' - this is the point. The more he spreads this link, the more money he makes from disbelieving downloaders. It's a scam. I wouldn't have seen the original post too if it wasn't for the replies...
Also seems he's taking the piss out of me too with a downloadable audio 'test' as opposed to my video test - fine. In future I'll just kill all threads with mention of him in them. Or possibly just repost my guide to why he's does what he does when he turns up. On the other hand, that would just give him the attention he wants... killfiling him is the safest poloicy here, I think.

All the best, Paul.

<Steve Cobham> wrote Thats fine if you do omit the urls, and don't cross post - sadly, most people don't :) oh please go ahead :) Cheers James
"Paul Simpson" p_r_simpsonSPAMBL...@hotmail.com
Ok, so I missed the bit about snipping the URLs... but *any* mention of him might tempt the casual browser to go looking for more information, and I for one wouldn't want that on my conscience...

All the best, Paul.

FWIW, there have been many discussions about "What is Jarl's game?" I can't believe it is for the money, the amount of money from his downloads is very small and not worth the effort.
I can never decide whether he is: a) extremely deluded as to his own abilities b) been working a long running joke at everyone's expense - a very long running satirical piss-take.
He is clearly well crafted at pushing people's buttons which makes me lean towards (b), though probably the answer is both ;) Ian

Because he has no talent as a guitarist - so to compensate he spams the net for easy sucker listeners. Sort of like what P. T. Barnum used to do to get people to go to his shows. Make totally outrageous claims like "Come! See the real live Alligator Boy! He has scales and a tail just like a real Alligator! Just $.50 to get in!" And after you pay your $.50 and walk through the tent door and finally get to see this "Alligator Boy" - all you really* see is a young boy with a serious case of psoriasis, and both his legs connected together with an abnormal flap of reptilian like skin. Then you realize, "Shit, I just got taken to the cleaners!" You hang your head low and walk out of the tent vowing never to be so stupid in the future.
Thats what Jarl is really doing.

"Mike Edmunds" carom...@lineone.net
Dunno quite what this chap's problem is, he's just replied to a post on rec.music.makers.b*** with exactly the same opening statement - "***** was duped into believing this" and ending with the lines above and an invitation to listen to his mp3. If I was a cynic I'd say he's not interested in the NG except as a mechanism for plugging his music.
But nobody would really do that would they?
Yours naively, Mike E

Mike Edmunds was duped into believing this: There's this thing called the attribution line that's configurable in preferences... At present, it says "[person] was duped into believing this:" It could easily have said "[person] woke up in a cheap hotel after a night of coke snorting and loose women with this scrawled on his chest:" I however, chose not to say that in my attribution line. Maybe next week though...
Lots of folks add a signature promoting themselves, their goods or services and automate the employment of that signature, as do I. I frequent a few groups of various interests because I play b***, drums, guitar and keyboards, as well as produce my own recordings and do digital graphics.
Therefore, my nom de plume will show up accordingly. Tagging a signature line is fairer and more acceptable than getting the whole world wound up because I spam the groups I post on. I may drop a line to advertise some news, when its still news, as a lot of folks do. That said, I'd love to get the kind of traffic Jarl gets for my site, as well as its likely fringe benefit of generating interest in my CD. ;^) You new to the world of news groups? Its pretty painless to drop in on someone's site and try out their wares--if I don't advertise my stuff to those most likely to dig it, I can't wait for someone else to do so. Same goes for everyone else's tunes.
Enjoy my stuff...

[a fairly typical Ed oneliner] That's because it's his automatic reply opener. Mine is "In <group> <name> wote:" where the "in <group>" only gets added in cases like this, where the whole thread has been crossposted to hell and back since Jarl started it.
_Please_, people, (a) check your newsgroups line and (b) get a client that warns you when crossposting. Outlook Express is not a usable news client, news was only ever an afterthought; there are lots of free ones that are.
But boring attribution lines like mine just aren't very TAPKAE [1], somehow.
He's probably not interested in uk.m.g at all, and I don't think he reads the group. He's a regular in the Mike Keneally group (which is nice, since he's been on the road as an engineer for Beer for Dolphins), which is where I know him from.
Crossposting is bad, mmm'kay? Obviously you didn't mean to, and I gather OE makes it hard to notice things like that. The simple answer to that is to download, say, Free Agent.
Groups and followups trimmed back to ukmg only, natch.
Here endeth the advocacy.
- rfb [1] That's "the artist presently known as Ed", incidentally.

--------------------------------------------------
Words: Tom Holt To be sung to "Modern Major General" by Gilbert & Sullivan I am the very model of a Newsgroup personality.
I intersperse obscenity with tedious banality.
Addresses I have plenty of, both genuine and ghosted, too, On all the countless newsgroups that my drivel is cross-posted to.
Your bandwidth I will fritter with my whining and my snivelling, And you're the one who pays the bill, downloading all my drivelling.
My enemies are numerous, and no-one would be blaming you, For cracking my head open after I've been rudely flaming you.
I hate to lose an argument (by now I should be used to it).
I wouldn't know a valid point if I was introduced to it.
My learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia, Designed to fan my ego, which is larger than Bolivia.
The comments that I vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery, Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery.
I say I'm frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity, The gibberings of one who's at the limits of his sanity.
If only I could get a life, as many people tell me to; If only Mom could find a circus freak-show she could sell me to; If I go off to Zanzibar to paint the local scenery; If I lose all my fingers in a mishap with machinery; If I survive to twenty, which is somewhat problematical; If what I post was more mature, or slightly more grammatical; If I could learn to spell a bit, and maybe even punctuate; Would I still be the loathsome and objectionable punk you hate?
But while I have this tiresome urge to prance around and show my face, It simply isn't safe for normal people here in cyberspace.
To stick me in Old Sparky and turn on the electricity, Would be a fitting punishment for my egocentricity.
I always have the last word; so, with uttermost finality, That's all from me, the model of a Newsgroup personality.
