(idm) decoding Black Dog liner notes
permalink · <Pine.OSF.3.95.961106185037.25359A-100000@intermix.engr.arizona.edu>
I had a bit too much free time on my hands today and I undertook a seemingly pointless task. While listening to the newest Black Dog CD I was flipping through the liner notes and noticed all the greek letters everywhere. I thought that maybe after converting over to the English alphabet the ramblings would make sense. Of course the three simple greeks letters underneath the cave painting style dogs made sense, but the other stuff looks like a bunch of nothing. Has anyone figured out if there is a secret meaning to any of this or is it simply "you're wasting your time". I'm guessing it's just the Black Dog having a bit of fun. ______________E_r_i_c___F_r_a_n_s______________ [mail]----------------->franse@engr.arizona.edu [web]->http://intermix.engr.arizona.edu/~franse

I remember a few years back that the guys from Black Dog ran a BBS in London. Due to overwhelming demand, they'd started to restrict access. To get full access you had to decode the greek letters and heiroglyphics on the cover of (I think) Spanners. I never tried it but maybe it's related.... _____________________________________________________ Jezz @ http://homepages.enterprise.net/jezz/ Roland D-110 Yamaha YS-100 Casio CZ-101 Boss SE-50 C-Labs AWE-32 Tascam 4 Track Tascam 8ch Mixer _____________________________________________________
