@Alice My grandmother always used to say “the first person to eat an artichoke must have been very hungry”. :-)
@Dunstable Also 4/6 including all the US focused ones. :-)
@NigelTufnel It was a bummer and cemented my hatred of cassettes as a format—even aside from stuff like this, they can't maintain a constant speed from one end of a tape to the other! If you lived on Planet Earth at the time, you will have heard my scream when I was told that the youngs were making them "hip" again. :-) As I've been working thru the transfers of my master tapes, I’ve gotten good at using residual 60Hz hum to get the speed/pitch back to what was originally recorded.
@NigelTufnel Congrats! The only time I've heard myself on the radio was in the days of cassettes and the speed discrepancy between the machine it was recorded on and the one at the station made us start to sound like the Chipmunks. :-)
@thebishopgame “Moving thing” shows up in the lyrics to Soul Coughing’s “Super Bon Bon”. Wonder if Doughty knows this?
@Dunstable 4/6 Missed the one you missed and G since the correct answer seemed too obvious. :-(
@Defiance That is encouraging. CA24E near Lafayette?
@wampusmm Notice he's not wearing the Jedi robe anymore, lest people think he's crazy. :-)
@samvarma I'm not even playing guitar in a _band_--I don't need to lay out a new board...yet...I sense a time sink coming on.... :-) (I've already found one pedal I have that it doesn't know about)
@sysop408 @alisynthesis You beat me to it--this story is a favorite of mine. Also: I've never seen a pic of David Ellison before but he looks like the sort of person who always has his hand up, never has the right answer and learns nothing from it. The Devo guy looks smarter...and like he'd have your back in a bar fight, but tell you later what an idiot you are. :-)
