Trust Me With Your Ears: Volume Seven

 

A regular feature in which I attempt to share the mystifying, alarming process of digging through my unhelpfully named MP3s by uploading one of the files I found that way and not telling you what it is.

In this case, while you can tell pretty quickly what it is, I still have no idea where I got it, who it’s by, or why I would have such a thing. I think I’ll try moving the logo to beneath the text to impair eye-drift to potential spoilers in the comments.

Trust Me With Your Ears: Volume Six

 

A regular feature in which I ask you to listen to a sound file with no idea what it’s going to be. Sometimes it’s voice, sometimes music, once it was just a noise. This one’s not super-obscure, but it’s ages since I actually listened to it, and to this day I find myself humming it when someone says the word ‘online’. It is dorky in the extreme.

Update! It’s not supposed to be all crackly and fucked up. But it’s sounding that way for some. See the comments for a link to the video.

Rev. Name Withheld: Awww, I thought it sounded real good with all the fuzz - like a low-grade WAV file. Realy early internet style.
 

Trust Me With Your Ears: Volume Five

 

A regular feature in which I ask you to listen to a sound file with no idea what it’s going to be. It’s an attempt to share the strange experience of rummaging through my old download folders, listening to forgotten MP3s with uninformative filenames. All I know about them is that I must have liked them at some point.

Volume Four was the shortest I’ve ever posted, this one is the longest – don’t click play if you’re in a hurry.

Andrew: Well, he sounds like an interesting guy :) You should do a post on it and put up some links :)

I'm sure you could put the files in a large archive.org batch if the original site is defunct for hosting.
 

Trust Me With Your Ears: Volume Four

 

A regular feature in which I ask you to listen to a sound file with no idea what it’s going to be. A very, very short one this time, and hopefully mysterious. I’ll reveal its identity and why it’s interesting in the comments tomorrow, but beat me to it if you can.

Roadrunner: You know, You should change the name of "Trust me with your ears" to "lend me your ears."
It sounds more intellectual.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen! Lend me your ears!

I hate shakespeare, but Julius Caesar could be the only thing he's ever written which I like. And Hamlet.
