Gracenote

iTunes has a thing called the Gracenote Database. It’s the beast responsible for storing all of the information about a CD, so that when you put that CD into your computer, iTunes can say ‘oh, it’s Greatest Hits Vol. 1 by The Oceanic Six’ instead of just ‘Track 1, Track 2, Track 3′ etc. Any individual can actually help the Gracenote database by filling in the track/artist/album info for an unrecognised CD and clicking ‘Submit CD Track Names’. (If everyone could rename the hidden track of Chameleon Circuit ‘We Are The Daleks’, and submit it, that’d be great. Cos it shouldn’t be called ‘Daleks Never Die’.)

Anyway, I put my new EP into my computer yesterday, six tracks long – the three tracks of the EP, and the three tracks again without vocals so that I can perform them live.

And this happened:

Who are the Mystic Revealers?

    Is the hidden track only with the physical CD? If it's on the downloads it's very well hidden! ;D

    Lolz, I'd be more worried about the Japanese (?). =D Love your music!!!

    My last track is called “Davros Is Gay”. I didn't it name it that way, it's what my Creative program told me it was called… how very odd, next time I plug it in I'll change that!

    My Oceanic Six CD still says Track 1, Track 2, Track 3. I’ve been waiting for someone else to enter it because I’m far too lazy :)

    Maybe you should add a couple of seconds of silence to a track on your CD to distinguish it from the others.

    It is a very good incentive…I might just treat myself… :)

  • shmehh

    they're your worst nightmare…

    Oh good; really I'm quite relieved that the track isn't called Daleks Never Die. I had a dream once, shortly after the release of the CD, after I had heard about the extra track. Now, I hadn't bought the physical CD, so I could only imagine what it sounded like. My dream sometime within the following week did that for me: in it, I received Chameleon Circuit in the mail via a mysterious benefactor, and excitedly I put the disc in my computer to listen to it. I listened all the way through, and then it stopped, but I saw that there was a track at the bottom that had the little video icon next to it. So I clicked on the video, which was entitled “Daleks Never Die,” and it was this truly horrible little creation. It was this huge screamo number thing, and I remember Liam was sitting there with an electric guitar, and then this careful piano melody started up. Then he screamed something in German and the rest of you materialized with acoustic guitars and marimbas and everyone started screaming “DALEKS! DALEKS! DALEKS!” while Charlie started hollering at the top of his voice, alternating saying “EXTERMINATE!” and the same German phrase that Liam screamed.

    None of you were playing your instruments, but at around the three minute mark (the song was four minutes exactly) you all started screaming in harmony and you lit the marimba on fire and jumped on it several times. Then the piano started up again and everyone screamed “DALEKS NEVER DIE!” and that was it.

    I really don't even know, but I'm glad to have shared that with you now. I'm quite pleased that that is not the song. Or at least I hope it isn't; I think I'll have to buy the CD already. xx
