365 Days of found audio -- going away soon!
Found this via Lileks: A collection of 365 audio clips, one for every day of 2003. These bits and pieces form no coherent pattern, except that they are all amusing. Here are some examples:
- Paul Harvey speaking to an Amway convention
- A college sorority washboard band singing "Love Hurts"
- Van Morrison singing about ringworm to discharge a record contract
- Pan Am radio spots
- Walter Brennan sings "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town"
- Mike Wallace explains the tone arm on a Zenith hi-fi
- "Merry Christmas, Elvis", a tribute song recorded by a teenage girl about a year after Elvis' death
The links above will remain active, but the MP3 files they link to will vanish on January 5, so visit soon. There are ways to get to the MP3s after the 5th, explained on the main page linked above. Because you don't want to miss hearing, one more time after all these years, that '70s public service ad about VD (as we called it the olden days), a tune that will burrow its way into your brain like a T. pallidum bacterium. "Veee Deee... is for ev'reeebuddee!"
