Talk:Quidam CD

message: I just got the enhanced CD & don't know if I'm supposed to be hearing sound or not as I click on things around the stage.  I can see the photos & video clips, but the only time I hear sound is during the Dragone interview.  Can someone confirm if this is normal?  The 14 songs all play fine like a normal CD with Realplayer & Windows Media; it's just that the Quicktime program goes silent.
By the way, Misere & Enfants sound terrific!  I had imagined that they'd simply be cuts from the DVD with audience applause, but they sound like regular studio tracks.  I'm anxious to know if the 2 unpublished song samplers being offered by CDS on June 5th (with AmEx ticket purchases) are these, or some others.--Funhistory 03:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I was able to hear the interactive portion of the CD using Windows 98 rather than Windows 2000 (it was made in 1996).  Here's a transcription of Zoe's poem written by Loch Ness, read by Liz MacRae:
:When Mommy & Daddy don't listen to me,
:I can suspend them for a minute, or 2, or 3
:Cuz after all, I'm busy too,
:I've got a million things to do.
:All my Quidams are on the go,
:Ready to move & give a show.
:Like there's Johnny & my friend, Karl,
:When they grumble, never snarl,
:If I don't tell them very soon,
:Which one I'll take on my honeymoon.
:So I consult my shamanitas?/chamonittes? in blue,
:They tell me Johnny's a giant too big for me,
:And one day he might be untrue.
:Now Karl is a sweet, but frantic romantic,
:He'll fly with ease from the highest trapeze,
:to prove his love, for a turtledove.
:The truth is, I'm not quite ready for Karl or John,
:This is no time for me to marry,
:When the world is in such a terrible mess.
:S.O.S. to every Quidam!
:To Mommy & Dad & all my friends,
:Like Funny Bunny, who's a genius in ecology,
:lovey-dovey & astrology.
:Where's my Robin Hood with stripes forever,
:So we can get our act together?
:When Quidams go marching in,
:rump-pa-ba-bump with a jolly din,
:You'll wanna be in that number,
:Out of the deep, mysterious slumber.
:And far from human astronauts,
:You shall become true argonauts,
:Kiddy-Quidams, & beautiful forget-me-nots!
I have no idea what she's saying with regards to the Cloud Swing ladies:  "shamanitas?/chamonittes?"  Does anybody know--Funhistory 17:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Zoe's Poem

message: Here's another narration by Loch Ness on the CD from the sewer under the stage about the stage:
:Look at this, Joe, now that's what I call a stage:  a gleaming stage, a beaming stage, a spinning stage, 29,000 beautiful square feet of bright aluminum, color-coated with thousand [sic] pounds of liquid urethane.
:The stage is set; the set is staged:  the world of Quidam.  And that's you, Joe; that's me.  We are Quidams!
:They built an arch across the universe.  Built & bent 120 feet of shining steel, across the skies of the big top, big & bold in our sunset strip, 35 feet up in the air.  What d' ya say, Joe?
:We can zoom up an armada of 10 computer-guided trolleys along those giant tracks.  Hang in there, Joe!
:Standing up or upside-down like bats, we can swing & twirl in space & never lose face.  It's our golden gate to glory, Joe!
:Some day you'll understand.  Some day you'll know just where you stand.  You'll see.  This is your odyssey.  One day, Joe, you'll be a great Quidam!
