Re: (313) Re: Phonopsia The Quebequois
Well, it's pretty convoluted, but I have a penchant for mysterious convoluted things. About 5 years ago I went to get my student ID photo taken and I new the guy taking the picture, so I made the most rediculous face I could and it came out a real peach. This photo was so bizarre, that I dubbed it Frogboy to match my drivers license photo, The Felon. It looked strangely like a mug shot. That was the birth of an early song, The Felon and Frogboy. Fast forward a few years. I still like the Frogboy name and adopt it as my email and IM name. One day I stumble across Frogbot as a new variation on Frogboy thanks to the magic of the Qwerty system. I decide I like Frogbot even better. In the process of coming up with song names for the album I came up with a few I was rather proud of like, Frogboy Grows Gills, and Frogbot Eats Polyphony. I decided I would try to make this a partial theme of the album - still working on some of these. So... I came up with the album name The Quebequois, a) because I've always loved the word, period and b) I realized the strange correlation between Frogboys (half frog) and The Quebequois (half French). For any francophiles like myself, who affectionately appropriate derrogatory terms for the French, the rest will easilly fall into place I hope. Hope that made some sense.

RE: (313) Re: Phonopsia The Quebequois
Yeah Tristan, I know something about sleep deprivation too. I have so much ideas and plans for the future, but I don't have the time to work everything out. I'm a happy guy, but this is the only thing that really gets me down. Does anybody have God's phone number? I would like to call the guy and ask him to do away with the necessity to sleep. A day should be at least 50 hours as well. That way I would get some stuff done.

Haven't sampled frogs but I used to have some factory frog sounds on a drum machine. Pretty silly though... Can't say I've tried the froglegs either, because I don't eat meat. I'm too much of a frogophile Anyway, when I get the album online, give it a listen and let me know what you think. Thanks for the interest.

They produce a kind of deep sound that fucks with your mind. Ever considered sampling these sounds to make a track of it? I would love to do that, but I'm not really into making music. I'm out of music making software (don't have money for hardware) because the programs I got from a friend's friend were full off viruses and fucked up my computer pretty bad. Anyway, nice to know there are other frog lovers out there ;) There legs are pretty tasty too when prepared with tons of garlic and onions. It's considered a gourmet hors d'oeuvre here in Belgium.

Maybe I'll try cloning myself.

I've been told this is a good way to reduce the need for sleep but I've never really bothered to research it myself - not enough time... I think it's a symptom of our times.
