| very cool. one little suggestion on the singles section. you should have something that says what songs are not on the album. so people like me know what singles to track down for that "one" song. i really like the lyrics though. great work. |

A correction for the next version of the fb database:
There's a typo on "- Le Cigre Volant".
And you could add the lyrics that were posted on the forum:
Le Cigare Volant
We played a battled raged
Me and my brother
Draged an American flag in the mud
cause that was our druthers
They were fine and simple days like no others
Le Cigare Volant it's true once was above us.
He wondered was he hate or someone that loved us.
In the years since we have grown up to know this.
Got this feeling in our bones
For the icon we were shown
It took us twenty years to learn
The sacred image it has burned
We can't escape
It was a childhood fate
Oh so silently he shined
And so, say we, divine
And we wander on the hill
And we wonder if he will
Come back
We wait
I will postulate
It was a childhood fate |

Dave: eh, beta...1.0, I dunno. What's in a name? :) The next version might be 2.0 since it'll be a major revision. Who knows.
Pearl: the ability to list by song will be up soon. Under each song, there will also be a listing of all the albums it's available on. That's about as far as it will go, really.
bill: Thanks for the offer. I'm good so far, but if you or anyone else wants to transcribe lyrics, I could always use that.
Holiday: thanks, noted and changed, added lyrics :)

Ok El Barto,
but as a History student I have huge acces to encyclopedia (like brittanica) , zillions of books, magazines and newspapers.
I could look up lot's of words and stories that are mentioned in FB songs
for instance we handeled Japanese History and Pachinko came up (from 'Calistan')...
I would love to do that....

Yeah, if you want to do that, that would be cool. References made to certain things in songs, etc. That'd be alright.

| Are we going to be able to link to it from the main page? Or does that not happen until the REAL version? Excuse me, but I am ignorant about this stuff. Oh, and I'm happy to type up any lyrics or whatever. Are the ones without lyrics the ones you still need - or are they still being posted? Sorry, I am dumb today. |

Hehe. Dave's gonna put up the links sometime soon. I think I have the lyrics typed up for SSMVGD...sarah actually typed em up a while ago and I don't know why I never put them in yet. Most of the lyrics I need at this point are for the B-Sides...Oddballs, and all the other B-Sides.

Well Jim, for clarity we should decide on something...let's make this the 'BETA', and the next revision will be V1.0, and we'll move from there. (Oh, forgot to mention Miked programmed the original version, and Fu Manchu (FTP guy ;) has offered to rework it, as we've made structual changes to the DB. Thanks guys!!)
I'll try and get on those links today..hehe.. |

What do you guys think, should I condense References and Definitions into a single category? Since they're both pretty similar in meaning...for example, where would you file these under:
betatron
Patagonia
Moleville
I would say "betatron" would be under definitions and the other two under reference. I look at Definitions as things and References as people, places, and occurences. What's the verdict?

| They are both pretty much the same thing. I'm with you on condensing, just have a category called References and Definitions. |

Holy hell, you're only 19? I had always thought you were older for some reason. That's odd. And yeah, I think I just might rename it "References and Definitions" and put definitions in bold and references in italics.
