Just saw a holiday TV ad for Target Stores--backed by some music I would
never have associated with middle Amerika, Nina Hagen's "New Toy."

Wow.

Last year my daughter told me they had a themed "Oldies Day" at high school
and we're listening to old music, etc. I said, "Oh, were people wearing
bobbysocks and stuff"? and she said, "Dad, the 80's". I also remember her
saying that NSYNC were like her generations Beatles. I cried.

She's German and from the 80's.

My sons ask me what it was like in the 80's. THink about it...we are
as close to the 80's as we were to WWII in the 60's and that seemed
like ancient history. I just thank God that we've learned to use less
reverb since the 80's. I also hope all the members of Lover Boy are
driving buses now.

No man, your OLD when your birthdate is included in those tv Life insurance
commercials.

You know...the one that say: If you were born between 1940 and 1970 or
whatnot.

Wasn't "New Toy" by Lene Lovich?

Outside of the mainstream, there are a plethora of excellent albums from
the 80's, without a buncha reverb on the snare, even! Sadly most people
remember arena-cock-rock when they think of the 80's.

Are you thinking of the German band Nina from the 80's, as in 99 red
balloons? If so, I don't believe there was anyone in the band named Nina Hagen.

At first I was really upset but then the more I thought about it, I realized
she was right. Weren't the Beatles written off as a talentless pretty-boy
band by a lot of people at first? (Not that I expect them to become another
Beatles or anything).

Indeed.

"I've got a new toy, o-ay-oh
I feel my head expanding
I've got a new toy, o-ay-oh
Nothing too demanding."

Timeless lyric.

Am I on crack or did Thomas Dolby write this song?

Nah, you're old when you still want to go out and play rock 'n' roll and
can't lift the amplifier and the guitar at the same time but won't admit it.

Or when you know that you can cook better than any chef who's restaurant
you'd go eat at.

Or when grandkids want to help you out of your chair.

Or when your hair starts falling out and you realize that it really doesn't
make any difference.

Or when you won't stand in lines any more because it's a significant portion
of the time you have left.

Or when the OLD cops are younger than you.

Or when OLD congressmen are younger than you.

Or when you give up trying to find new friends because they just keep dying
on you.

Or when you won't buy a cat because it's too much of a long term
committment.

Or when your house is nothing but a series of passageways through stuff you
don't use anymore, if, in fact, you ever used it at all.

Or when you go to the grocery store and buy the same damned things four
times in a row because you used the same grocery list four times in a row (I
call that one grocery Altzheimer's).

But hey, my body wasn't getting up and going somewhere else, so, when you

Kinda like that little segment of Billy Connelly's comedic routine where
he's talking about thoughts and how they jump up and say "talk about me,
talk about me or I'll ****ing go away." Us old folk are amazed that we're
still having thoughts. We don't need the prompting! <g>

Oh yeah think about it....if you were a late 50's/early 60's jazz
musician, you would have thought the Beatles were incredibly lame
musicians that couldn't play their way out of a paper bag.

I'm sure that all the "serious" musicians of that era greated the
British invasion stuff with all enthusiasm we've greeted boy band pop
with.

Kinda scary but I listened to those bands too, still do....and I have
heard songs from EVERY ONE OF THEM on the Muzak playing in the grocery
store....no **** Emerson, Lake, and Palmer the Muzak version on the
grocery store PA...I almost blew my cookies.

No, that's when your DAW is getting old. You're getting old when you

They may have changed the frequency that those things use. I used to
be able to hear the horizontal oscillator of a TV set (actually the
coils of the flyback transformer rattling) at 15.75 kHz, but I don't
hear that from modern TV sets. I don't know if it's because they're
building them differently or if I'm just losing some sensitivity up
there. At 61 years old, it's perfectly normal even without a lifetime
of too-loud music listening. I can put an oscillator into my monitors
and still hear it, but I don't know how that SPL compares with what
came out of my 1952 Emerson black-and-white.

I had the Ivie realtime analyzer home last week to measure how loud my wife
sings (110 dB SPL peak, unweighted!) and the TV ('90s Sony) still puts out the
15.75 kHz signal loud and clear, at least that's what the display says. I
didn't hear it.

Maybe it's not even the TV, maybe it's the signal coming off one of those
digital audio mixers or from router. (The Calrec Sigma at work has a couple
of cards in it that intermittently start spitting out 15Khz. Out the monitor
outputs only apparently, supposedly moved to a "non-critical path", but who
knows really... Drives me nuts. )

Back in the old days one had to buy ones harddisks in kinda a stringy
form and roll ones one. My father actually had a Bang & Olufsen device
that could do that. Later they made them of flat string, at the peak of
the technology some manufacturers even tried selling adhesive tape for
the purpose and it makes excellent flat disks if you leave it in the
"tape vault" for long enough, it was marketed as the best thing to use
if it was worth recording. Somehow that statement really sticks to mind.
This concept of sticks later brought on the development of memory
sticks.

Understanding storage technology is not difficult, it is an ongoing
process whereby larger and large amounts of information can be lost by
smaller and smaller mishaps.


Kind regards

But my crystal radio would only get one station. There was an AM broadcast
tower across the valley from my house, and it's signal came in so strong
that
it's all I could receive no matter how much I adjusted the tuning condenser.

You know you're getting old when the radio station that you once
received with your crystal set comes in loud and clear on your tooth
fillings.

Thankfully the quality of backup is now so high it is identical to the
original, and the cost of backup keeps getting lower and lower.
It is now possible to keep a large number of backup digital multitrack
recordings, for the cost of one Reel of analog tape.

I wish I had a dollar for every master tape that has been lost/destroyed or
gone missing over the years :-)

The mishaps are in keeping all of those backups organized. When you
have the equivalent of a reel of 2" tape spread out over 20 CDs (which
of course include all of the outtakes that you would have just erased
and recorded over with the analog tape), if you misplace one of them,
you may have lost essential parts of a song, or a project.

The more backups you make, and the more different media you have, the
greater the responsibility for keeping track of what you have. Not
only do recording engineers need to be computer geeks today, but they
need to be librarians too.

You'd be richer if you had a dollar for every piece of digital media
that was lost, destroyed, misplaced, mislabeled, or can no longer be
interfaced to the available computer.

Hey all-

I know this is way off topic, but there is such a wealth of knowlege here
that I figured I would ask this question anyway.
Tonight, I checked my e-mail, and found a SPAM message in my inbox. I'm in
the habit that if I don't know who the SPAM is from, and can't tell from the
subject line what they are hawking, I'll glance at the contents to see what
"brand" of SPAM it was. Now, not being entirely trusting, I usually glance
at the source code for the messages instead of just openining it in Outlook
Express, on the off chance that it is a virus or something. Well, I glanced
at this particular one, and noticed it was in HTML, and didn't have the
"signature" of a virus, but my eye was caught by something in the message.
It seems that there is a "message" hidden within the HTML code, that if
loaded into a browser the browser would just ignore, as it isn't valid HTML
Just for the heck of it, I copy-pasted the code into Word, and separated out
the "message", just to see what it had to say. It doesn't quite make sense,
or at least not in complete sentences. I will paste the code in here,
stripped of the HTML header, so that you can see it as I rec'd it, and
follow that with the "message". I still haven't actually "opened" the
e-mail, or even looked at the code in a browser, but it would appear that if
I did, it would look like an average "prescription" SPAM, which amongst the
code tries to get me to go to www dot medsquickusa dot biz
(I purposely altered that so it won't be an actual link for anybody, but
they could reconstruct it should they desire to.) Now this brings up an
interesting question- is "biz" a valid domain suffix? Or is the entire
address fictitious, just so they could send out this hidden "message"?

Here's the original HTML-

Spammers are mangling their messages with encoding and nonstandard html in
hopes of getting past spam filters.

I guess the theory is that if they can trick me into clicking on their
message, I'll suddenly feel like my penis is actually too small.

.biz is one of several "new" ones that came available a few years
ago. It's so spammish that I think only spammers even use it. I forget
what all's available, but here's an example of another:

True, but I stand by my statement. AT least they could play their
instruments and paid their dues. fOr anybody choosing to argue this
last point think Hamburg.

I guess I'm old anyway. I fit the profile in the life insurance ads,
I"ll soon be eligible for the "senior" discount and the goofballs with
their subwoofers in their SUVS drive me nuts in the neighborhood where
I live. Yah I'm old I guess.

Point!
GUess you're right there, but these young men at least wrote their
own songs, played their own instruments other than voices etc. THey
weren't a manufactured band in the modern sense of the world such as N
sync backstreet etc.
GUess I'm a musical snob. SHows you waht happens when you work with
all these low ball outfits with three so-called vocalists on the
bandstand who do nothing but sing and can't harmonize so the bass
player has to scream the flasetto parts to some of the disco dreck
they're playing and is flat most of the time.
Just ovderdosing on BS since they're already muzakking Xmas some
placeds I go and it was 80 degrees here in the big easy today.
