What's on your .mp3 player/stereo/TV right now?
I'm listening to music recorded a hundred years ago, or more!
It was recorded entirely mechanically, no electronics whatsoever.
(You can hear the music yourself at: www.tinfoil.com )

What am I listening to the music on?
Digital recordings (.mp3's) on my teeney ENTIRELY electronic .mp3
player!

1. By 'mechanically', I assume you mean analogue non-magnetic signal, right?

Ah, yes. Just clicked the link. Wax cylinders it is. :)

2. I'm listening to something that wouldn't exist if it weren't for electronics...
especially since every instrument in the band except percussion is electric in some way or another.

9. Thanks for the link, dude
Great song, great vid, but it makes me wanna cry. Which, given my current mood is totally right.

"Wanna hear about my new obsession, I'm riding high on a deep depression" - Garbage.

16. TISM, mostly. Also The Archies, Frankie Valli, The Commodores and Gary Wright.
The last four are because I have to learn "Sugar Sugar," "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," "Three Times A Lady" and "Dream Weaver" for a wedding tomorrow night.

TISM, for those who don't know, did the song "Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me," which was a bit of an internet hit with the animated video featuring a bunny.

Can't turn it off. It just displays a message that says "Firewire connections are not supported" until the battery dies.

24. Dancing with myself.
The original Generation X version, not the Billy Idol remake. Actually, does that qualify as a remake? He wrote it, he sang it with the band, the band broke up...he takes his songs with him and re-records them.
