Silmarien: Hey! How come your IB exams start so late? 16th June? What a bummer! I'm done with all my IB exams on the 23rd of May! I'm enjoying summer holiday already! Oh well, good luck.
Oh yeah, The Electric Ducks were great! Our little show on the grad ball went superb. We even managed to stick in the school song to get everyone hyped up!

brymstone - thanks, i'm particularly glad you say that cause it changes key a fair bit, and it's not always easy to keep the flow when you're doing that.
Gutterboy - i agree, i love the backdoors, and the fight with neo and morpheus against the smiths at the end. But I'm completely convinced of the neccessity for the Zion stuff including the rave and sex with regards to the next film. Oh and I agree, Persephone/Monica Bellucci... mmmm ladies!
OCPS470 - You think well... most of the guys at http://www.matrixfans.net agree that there isn't a matrix within a matrix thing going on. I go for Neo being at least partially code, (like Agent Smith gets into a real body)
Austin - as I've said above, there's stuff in Zion that needs to be there- eg. Smith in Bane's body, the kid (the guy who wants to join Morpheus' crew/guy from A Kid's story in the Animatrix). We're told he's important in the second movie. But I do know what you mean about it taking away it's "mystery/power/awesomeness". Kinda like seeing Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy on TV.
death cube k - why does the matrix suck?
ethn - agreed
Sharon - thanks for that explanation :D

Hello everybody, I got one question to ask, what does Joe use to compose his music?- guitar tab? standard music notation or multi-track recorder? does Joe usually use standard notation to read music and compose? I like playing guitar and I am learning, I am not sure whether it is necessary for a guitarist to be familiar with standard notation, I am expecting your advise! thanX!

Matrix I give it a 6 because of the unnecessary scenes. Seeing people dance did give me any idea of what Zion' rs do in their spare time.
I do think Neo is the "one" a la the POD video, it's in his name and Neo means New. I also think Neo and his crew are just a deadly virus inside a computers hard drive set to "seek and destroy" Anyway that's usually how a part 2 story works, just a connection for the grande finale.

ome - i disagree with the second part of a trilogy thing- I mean, back to the future doesn't, indiana jones doesn't, austin powers doesn't. LOTR doesn't.
edit : re-reading your post i see what you mean, but with the exception of LOTR, none of the third parts are a grand finale- then again none of them are in any way artistic (except LOTR again). so i see what you mean.

invigor and mowlie..i have him still on my msn still....he's always still there for me.
harryDan..compose music in a way you like the best. for me, its good old pen and paper, cant beat it, write what you like how you want. although having a recorder of some kind is usfull to put down riffs or phrases to help you remember them. Guitarists in general use Tab...its alot easier to read than standard notation. standard notation only gives you the notes, not where those nores are on the guitar, which tab does. tab is short for tablature in case you dont know.

Well, sorry about the Nick sandwich, but I just wanted to report a bug in the t2j site:
When you click a name in the "tracks" list, it takes you to bios.html instead of bios.php, which means you are transported to the old version of the site where there's no shop and no updates etc.

I remember in the first Martrix when Neo is offered the 2 different color pills saying to myself "shit I'll take both them jokers and really go somewhere special" They should have had a purple pill too.

AVARICE How's that old Woolworths strat getting on?
trutina Wow, looking at that old t2j, and realising ow many of the people around now were on it then, makes me feel like the internet virgin I really am. Just think, all those people with seemingly low post totals were posting loads of stuff way before I was on here.
I see that AVARICE got a bit of a pasting when he first turned up, though. I see we've learned to live with him now. So just a sec, AVARICE is a friend of clarky's, and he used to be called vai's brother in law, and he suggested that paul name his guitars after the 7 deadly sins, and then he changed his username to avarice? Right, have I got it now?
Harrydan Learning standard notation is not hard and really useful. If you read a tab, you can end up trying to learn something which is really technically hard and then find out afterwards there is some much easier way of playing it which you would have noticed if you had looked at the standard notation and worked it out yourself. Also, learning using standard notaton can give you a better understanding of the fretboard and of the structure of music, instead of just calling stuff, "that note there". And learning about how music works is really useful f ever you want to write something, or else for learning something by ear, for instance, if you hear someone playing something, you can say, "well, they're using this chord, so they're likely to be usign these notes", as you know more about how the chord is built, instead of just learning the shape of the chord. Finally, if you want to play something on another instrument, the structure of standard notation can be carried across, although be warned, if you play something on a piano, piano music (most music, in fact) is written an octave lower than guitar music is written, but this is just a case of rewriting the notes an octave down.) Has that helped?

Wow, that was a bit of a long post.
Harrydan I know lots of guitarists only read tab, but then lots of guitarists hold their guitar way too low, lots of guitarists fret notes with their thumb without ever giving classical position a try - basically, lots of self taught guys get into bad habbits which they never realise are hindering their playing somewhat. I have lots of bad habbits, but the role of a teacher is to point these out and help you to correct them, and when I try to do stuff properly, I always find afterwards that stuff is much easier than it was before.

Polish International Airways sent it's inaugural 747 flight to JFK under the command of it's two best pilots. Approach Control tells 'em they're cleared onto final and hands 'em off to the tower, but they're sorta struggling with English and sorta missed a word or two, but it was a nice flying day and they decide to just land the airplane.
They get in close to the runway and the left seat hollers "lookit that runway! It's 'way too short! Flaps, gimmee full flaps, reverse thrust, drop the anchor!" and he dumps it on the numbers.
The airplane comes to a screeching halt two feet before the end of the concrete amidst billowing clouds of burning tire and brake smoke. Left seat sez "I don't believe how short this runway is, it's only a cupple hunnert feet long!" Right seat muses, "Yeah, but jeez boss look, it's gotta be 12,000 feet wide".
