If you slow the chipmunks down half speed you can hear the 3 guys singing, slowly, and pretty well I might add. [10:45] Yes but what do you hear when you play them backwards? [10:54] You hear satan asking for a donation. [11:03] Yes, I'm old enough to remember that bruhaha. [11:04] And jack van impe saying "it's the devils beat". Neat trick with the half-speed thing. And the lyrics become completely understandable... [11:06] Good God he's still alive! Like Pat Robertson. Some people just don't know when to go meet their maker. [11:07] teiresias: it's easy with mpv, just tap left bracket a couple of times. [11:08] At least Oral Roberts is gone. "God will take me home if you don't send me a donation." e: I had to also use --audio-pitch-correction=no on the mpv command-line. Who's still alive, jack van impe? Never heard of him * x has a beeping external hard drive. Doesn't look good It's possessed. [11:09] that's a damn old external, even.. Like 8 years or so [11:10] tsp: I think he means Dave Saville. but with some luck it's only the case that is borked tsp: an idiot with millions of religious followers; predicted jesus would come back in 1988. Oops, missed that one. Then jesus returns in 2007. Oops, missed that one. And on he goes. [11:11] You can't keep a good man down or here. How do I know? My parents played some of his recordes for me when I was young. They were into it. [11:12] I used to watch their Saturday morning tv show sometimes. x: I've never heard an external HD beep. Surprised they'd even bother to put a speaker in one. [11:13] teiresias: seagate usually do [11:14] Don't they have to give 24 hours warning before failing? sadly no :D oh well. Had backups [11:16] It's pretty bad when your back-up needs a back-up. yeah [11:17] e: http://the-brannons.com/audiodump.ogg (slowed without pitch correction, sped up with correction). So the tempo is right and you can hear the normal voices. [11:25] Hmm - i didn't turn pitch correct off - maybe it's off by default on my system. Anyways, nice sound example. Guess the instruments are pitched down as well as the voices. [11:29] When I was a kid I literally turned the record player backwards with my hand to play music backwards. Tried hard to turn it at a steady 33 rpm. Probably played hell with the needle. [11:35] Wow. [11:46] squeak. [11:47] teiresias: looks like somebody else had your idea and put it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T5TR_O_PP0 [13:24]
