Stupid musical statements that you can't fathom

The most amazing thing about the first quote is that the right half is just as bad, as if not worse than the left half. Plus, for some reason the first thing I read form it is "Middle class church person".

I would like to say, however, that I really like my crazy. My crazy is better than Miles Davis.

It's also weird that the list sets up Jay-Z and Linkin Park in opposition to each other considering that they collaborated on an entire album together.

Terribly annoying to read. I never understood these comparison charts - you can't compare Swift to Skillet or T-Pain to Nickelback, they're all totally different things.

Not sure why I can't fathom the second quote... just can't. Where do people get off on the notion that 90% of the world's teenage population only listen to rap/hip-hop? Who makes these statistics?! Aaahh

Erm, sorry for the semi-rant. Responses here are super though, haha.

My response on YouTube is always..

90% of teens have turned to posting chain mail as a cathartic expression of emotional changes brought about by shifting hormone levels. If you're one of the 10% who has an original f*cking thought, then for the love of God don't paste this anywhere else.

yeah, haha. looking over both sides, i actually found myself gravitating more to the left, with some exceptions though, haha.

I'd definitely take the right over the left but well...I think I would want both sides with a few exceptions.

Are you serious???

the first few albums are Barrett-ish then Gilmour-ish - I haven't heard them but I got it from pretty reliable sources (music geeks who have heard them)

You can't skip an actual musical track, you can just choose a different pair of tracks. There's 8 tracks on the 8-track. They're in pairs. One for the lefst channel, one for the right channel.
8-tracks have just one side. They can carry up to 88 minutes of music and they sound... Well... pretty afwul. When my player gets back from repair I can make a sample for you

As far as the recording technology goes, it works just the same as an open reel deck or a cassette recorder. It's just a tape, exactly the same with as an home-tapedeck (1/4"). The back is extra slippery as the tape is actually pulled out of the middle of the reel (I can't believe it works either ;D). The tape that has been played is added to the outside of the reel. It's the strangest system ever.
The tape contains little parts of iron that are arranged by a magnetic head. depending on how these parts are arranged, you hear the music.
The same thing still happens on harddisks, only a lot faster and divided into sectors.

cool! thanks for setting me straight on this, i was just trying to remember being 3 hahaha don't think i need a sample of the quality (unless you've got a Sesame Street tape or something - Rubber Ducky / C is for Cookie would be awesome haha)

i DO know that this is the exact model i used to drag around the living room back in the day. i'd have it standing on one speaker so the handle was about waist height and made moving the whole thing easier (was almost as tall as i was haha)
