Talk:Wire & Glass

message: What constitutes a single vs. an EP?  Pete Townshend has been calling Wire & Glass an EP when he's talked about it at concerts, etc (though to make matters more confusing, he calls it an "EP-single" in one of his diaries, and an "extended Mini-Opera" in another.  The former uses both terms, the latter uses neither but suggests EP).  Who fans have been referring to it as an EP for a few months.  Independent publications & resellers have been referring to it alternatingly as a single, an EP, or just as a mini-opera.  The Who's official site doesn't make any mention of it at all (adding to the confusion over the July 10, July 17, July 24th announced release dates; all of which were supposed to be CD release dates, one of which so far has manifested itself as a UK-only iTunes-only release), and The Who's Tour website, which is the only "official" (textual) mention of the release outside of Pete's personal diaries, doesn't use either term.  I'm not sure how Ukrob12 can say it's "officially a single" (see his comment in the edit history regarding his reversion of my last change) given that the man who wrote it generally refers to it verbally as an EP, and no other "official" (from the band) designation exists.  That, and a single is generally defined as a single track (hence the name), usually with a second track representing a B-Side.  Most EP's I see are on the order of 5-6 tracks...  just like Wire & Glass.  The fact that the six songs come together as a mini-opera doesn't make them a single song - otherwise, Tommy and Quadrophenia are ~70-minute singles.
Long question made short - how is this six-song release specifically a single, and not and EP?  -Erik Harris 12:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been wondering this myself. Editors keep insisting on caling it a single at The Who discography, but so far nobody's managed to fill in the  tag I put up on the 20th. I was at their Hyde Park gig on July 2nd, and I'm pretty sure the posters advertising it there were calling it an EP. MightyMoose22 >Abort, Retry, Fail?_ 08:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that it's actually available from a number of sources on-line, I see that the six songs are being released as two tracks.  The first five songs are a single track, and Mirror Door is a single track.  Odd, since when they were doing the songs live, there was a noticeable pause between each song.  Given that there are only two physical tracks (dunno if that'll be the case on the CD version), the "single" designation does begin to seem appropriate.  But the track list, I guess, should probably be changed to reflect that there are 2 tracks instead of 6 (maybe worth waiting for the CD version before making the change) -Erik Harris 11:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I got the CD through the post this morning, and it's actually all one track, eleven & a half minutes long (similar to A Quick One While He's Away). Now I'm just confused. MightyMoose22 >Abort, Retry, Fail?_ 11:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Songlines Live

message: Just as a note - The band interview snippets are chapter 1 on the DVD - that is, they play as the beginning of the main program and crossfade into the concert itself.  However, I listed it as track 0 to keep consistent with the track list on the back of the DVD case.  The actual chapter numbers for all listed tracks are one higher than what's listed here, but I thought it would make more sense to keep consistent with the promotional material than the chapter numbers.  Thoughts? agreement? disagreement? -Erik Harris 12:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Dodd wasn't even the ranking member on the committee, Paul Sarbanes was.  The bill was overwhelmingly supported by both Ds and Rs.  And Dodd's condo deal had nothing to do with securities fraud.

Talk:Tearaght Island

message: I'm not quite sure whether An Tiaracht is actually the most westerly piece of land in Ireland. There are the two Feo rocks (Foze) further west but do they count as land? Some research on this might be helpful. Also, the name most commonly given to the island is "An Tiaracht" by the locals in Dún Chaoin not "Tearaght" which is just a piece of anglicised gobblegook. I suggest the name be changed accordingly. An Muimhneach Machnamhach 13:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: hmmm... I agree that it's correct to call it An Tiaracht rather than Tearaght, but... I wonder: (1) whether this is in fact appropriate in the English-language version of wikipedia; (2) what language those locals are speaking when they refer to "An Tiaracht"; (3) whether, if you are right, the article should be titled An Tiaracht, with redirects from the various English forms; (3) whether (if so) how many more Irish places should appear under their Irish names - presumably the other Blaskets, for a start! Let's seek consesus before doing much more. Snalwibma 22:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: not entirely convinced... This is the English-language wikipedia. Bucharest appears as Bucharest rather than Bucureşti, and we have Brussels rather than Bruxelles or Brussel - based not on what the inhabitants call it but on its standard English-language name. By the same logic, the English/Anglicised version of placenames in Gaeltacht areas should be used. Having said that, I would presonally prefer to see entries for Tiaracht, Inis Tuaisceart etc. But if it's to be done, it should be done thoroughly. (And what, then, do we do with Droichead Nua?) I'd like to see a few more opnions expressed here before jumping in! Snalwibma 20:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
