I've liked Nine Inch Nails for most of their (Trent Reznor's) career. I was never a Johnny Cash fan - I guess I'm neutral - there are some songs I think are alright... but the poignance he brings to this one makes it better than any version Trent has done. It's just more real.

I want to watch the show again, if only I could manage to encode the video with subtitles for the iPhone...

 

If they're soft subs, you could get a demuxer for whatever format it's in (MKV, I'd guess?) to pull them out, and maybe a subtitle tool to make them into .SRT format. Then in Handbrake, just make sure you always go to the Subtitles tab and make sure the subtitles are either added, or added and burned-in. (iPhone can actually do subs as captions - it's not bad...)

 

The interface of this program is a bit dumb - it only keeps track of one folder for source and destination, so if you open a file, set it up, add it to the queue, and go to open a new source file, you'll be browsing ones in the destination folder. So I like to set up one file, then open a new source file and just manually rename the destination file each time so it keeps looking in the source folder when I open a new file. On the flip side... it's really great at taking advantage of a multi-core CPU to encode quickly!

Cool. I tried handbrake for this before but I couldn't get it to work. I had the .srt and the video file, and I checked the subtitle box in the... subtitle tab. I'm gonna try it again. I have the .srt for all of them already! Thanks!

Favorite off the new album.

 

What's the album like? I just bought it but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. I love the song with the Peter Serafinowicz video, in fact I think I may have posted it in here...

 

In the meantime I'm listening to this:

 

 

Which reminded me of a film I love. Beautiful Thing, which I'll have to watch again.

It's pretty good. Motion Sickness and Flutes are probably the standout tracks for me, and I don't really like the single all that much, but it's a solid album. Definitely on par with or better than some of their older ones.

Oh wow... My parents had a single of the orignal(?) by

. I used to love it as a kid... and when you flipped the record over, the label was printed in mirror image and it played the song backwards! (Still, not quite as crazy as Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief record, which had 3 sides - when you flipped it, sometimes it'd play side B, sometimes C, depending which track the needle found...)

 

 

This is FAKE?, the group with a Googleproof name, haha... (look for album titles, not band name!) an awesome friend from my MMO days told me about them (sup, ML?) I didn't expect to like them as much as I did, but they really caught on me after a little bit. Usually it's more hard rock, but it varies a fair bit too - Ken Lloyd of Oblivion Dust and Atom on Sphere seems to use this project to experiment a bit so it's kinda eclectic.
