Remember when Brian Eno recorded the Windows 95 startup sound? The new version of Windows will have a four-second startup sound by Robert Fripp.

The short startup clip that was eventually chosen is meant to evoke the rhythm of the words "Win-dows Vis-ta!" and Ball hopes the sound will serve as a calling card for the operating system. It also consists of four chords -- one for every color in the new Windows graphic that appears as the sound plays. It's no coincidence that it's also four seconds long.

E-Z Listening Disc
by Devo. I first heard this from my older brother while I was still in highschool. Every single person I've ever played this for over the years has hated it with a passion, but I love it - especially "Satisfaction." The whole album is just way-stripped down, synth-only instrumental versions of Devo songs.
Has anyone else heard this?
Nope, never have. You want to gift us with a track? ::makes big eyes::
I'll try to upload a couple tonight. I'm kinda' out of the loop - are people still using the gmail buffistarawk? or is there a new location all the kids are into?
I'm surprised to see that the upload place of choice seems to be buffistarawk2 these days. Is there a reason?
Is there a reason?
I accidentally posted the first Halloween song there and didn't want to redo it?
Also, when I put up xmas songs I think I might split between both accounts since last year we got busted for high volume.
Hi, everyone. We moved last week & closed on Monday. Here are a few pics, including the one I promised to Jon long ago of the metallic jungle wall paper. Trial started Monday, too, so radio silence will continue for a while longer. Wanted to say hi, though. Big congrats to msbelle, & kudos to Corwood on another fine High Hat. (No one claimed McCabe? What's up with that?) Au revoir, mes amis.
