The official thrift/discount store bragging thread - Page 3340

here it is: 

unorganized diaries

edit: and about it... the notes are triggered randomly more or less.  On most tracks in this set, I just give it a certain probability that a given note in D minor would play (did the same with drums) and then engineered some really long effects chains.  I tried to set up an algebra of sorts in a few of them by allowing operations such as addition using some weird stuff... I'm working on organized diaries, in which the tracks will still be randomly generated, but will be indiscernible from human written compositions.

Cool shit man. Remind me of back in the day when I used to listen to IDM/Experimental shit. We're talking '99. What are you working with?

That was my fall break 

But also... I'm basically working from when I get up (8am usually) to when I go to sleep (1 am).  In addition to "thrifting" the 3500 items I have in inventory, school (including two 300 level math classes), and visiting my girlfriend in Santa Barbara every weekend, I just released an "album" of algorithmic (computer generated) music.  That's what I really want to brag about.

Figured out how to do all of the random stuff just using ableton live.  I use reaktor quite a bit, which is like a dumbed down fraction of max/msp, and I was actually trying to get back into max/msp earlier today.  

How about a $405 Harris Tweed jacket? http://www.ebay.com/itm/251161841500?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1562.l2649

I am learning a lot from everyone in this thread. I have read the entire thing over the past few weeks. This has changed the way I look at clothing in thrift stores. Thanks to all who have contributed.

DM7 is an enigma, wrapped in a mole enchilada, served with aguas frescas.

Big E ftw. Keep your eyes out.

Oh yeah, I've been looking at red tags until my eyes became raw. I would never imagine they would go for this much! I thought $400 on a pair is good enough but damn!!!

Amazing... But how can the seller/buyer know for sure whether this is Levi's LVC "Big E" (values from ~ $125 to $375, right?) versus the actual vintage "Big E" from decades ago — especially since with LVC Levi's went so far as to artificially rust the rivets, cause age-appropriate "wear and tear" to the denim, etc.

Hmmm, I'm no denim expert but I was told by a fellow SF member who happens to be a denim head the authenticity could be verified best by serial numbers, of course giving the numbers have not faded.
