At last, someone answers the question of what you would get if Abba were German but wanted to be Russian (for most hilarity check out the videos in comments too)
Nokia Audiobooks (anyone got an AMRWB decoder for desktop?)

We had spray cheese…now spray pancakes

To somewhere safer where the feeling stays – Mercedes museum architect aims for style over function.

One of my action points from todays meeting was to find some music to replace those clips we currently use for testing.
“Keep the death metal song, but the rest can go…please”
Last time anyone let me do that my contribution was hirezs “Sack of Hammers (remix)”, which was never quite understood by anyone I worked with, but they used it for testing anyway. Indeed, it was quite an interesting piece for testing because of its range of unusual sounds, nice and challenging for a phone speaker.
The danger with the cutups I’m getting into right now (Negativland, Cassette Boy, etc) is that there is so much in the way of level shifts and poor cuts that we can’t tell which is the music and which is the software.
So, I suppose I’m soliciting for suggestions for appropriate pieces of music for testing audio software. Any ideas folks?
I feel sick
I know, its my own fault. I shouldn’t have bought sweets called ‘Skum Bananer‘, should I?
Well, admit it, you would’ve bought them too? Wouldn’t you?
Band-wagon
Copy this list.
Leave in the bands you’ve seen perform live.
Delete the ones you haven’t and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25.
An asterisk means the previous person had it on their list.
Two asterisks means the last two people who did this before you had that band on their list.
(I’ve made a minor cheat of adding two peoples lists together)
