@JBert that was a commercial break. Did you think this site was free?
I realise I had a time-out but last I checked, threads were free?

@Arantor Gribnit might be emulating YouTube's midroll ads, that's how they get you.

@JBert I pay for YouTube Premium for precisely this reason.

Same. And also for being able to use YT Music on my phone for workout music
-
@izzion I have it across multiple devices for coding background music etc.
I’m also very much in the camp of folks who will pay for a subscription to content if I feel it’s worth it - at least that’s how Patreon gets a 3-figure sum from me each month…

I am not an abandoned Google project, and I haven't been programmed to claim I'm not.

Depth of precision to be confirmed at a later date; try checking IEEE 754 specification.

That sounds expensive. How much for a ballpark answer?

If you have ever actually heard a basso profundo you will be disappointed. This guy is barely a bass. Maybe even a baritone. But, eh oh. It was this or Neil Sedaka today.

At one time, my dad worked for the company that, in addition to making their own electronic stuff, was the US importer for the Vox organ you see in the thumbnail image. (The guitars might also be by Vox. The video is too low-res to make out enough detail to be certain, but the bass looks very similar to other guitars Vox made.)
-
@HardwareGeek huh okay, Vox, I was wondering. Seemed too early for Moog. This video quality is bizarrely high as well. When is this recording?
-
@Gribnit wrote something coherent:

The name "VOX" is clearly visible in the thumbnail. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a clue, either. Although my dad worked with them (tangentially; he mostly worked with the US importer's own products, specifically home organs), that was ~50 years ago; I'm hardly an expert.
This video quality is bizarrely high as well. When is this recording?
The video title says 1964. The video is only 240p. I'd guess it's been remastered, since the original was almost certainly interlaced, and possibly colorized from a B&W original.
-
@HardwareGeek It's interesting there's a period of time for which video resolution will always be worse that recordings made before, because it's been digitized to a certain lower resolution and there is no film to re-scan.

@Applied-Mediocrity still not Mike. I have to tell so many people this for some reason. This just seemed like a thematically conversational continuation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7ATTjg7tpEGreat song! One of, if not the, best cha-cha songs ever. Had me dancing in my living room. (Too bad I don't have anyone to dance with.) Both versions are excellent, although I prefer the original version; I'm not really a fan of 2:10 in the Santana cover.

Interesting, I far prefer the Santana version.

Alternate takes:

"Video unavailable", but have a like because I know the song. (probably because you've posted already years ago )
In fact:

I guess both videos have geographic restrictions

@loopback0 :|
Probably. I assume you can see yours?

@Zecc yeah. Music licensing be crazy.

It's a shame about the audio engineering - the hall sounds decent but either the mic is too far back or the mixer is jacking the strings up and down or maybe my phone speaker isn't great

@loopback0 said in 🎤 Song of the day 👂:
Not all of that was easy to listen to or watch, but I can appreciate the ton of work that went into making it. I'm still only halfway through it.
Parts of the video are silent, I assume because it was triggering a copyright notice or something.

The video's a bit weird (crazy Belgians) - I only discovered the video version yesterday.

Yeah, some copyright thing I guess.
There's an audio-only version without the silent parts here:
(warning - the audio on the onebox was quite loud for me and there's no volume control on it)

Well done, they managed to work in the global and personal triumph of Death, the exegesis of Sin, and the eternal torment.

I'm declaring them to be punk. The Animals, that is. Not sure if this has already been done.

I wonder if the person who directed this has played POD.
Those last minutes made me remember that game, even though the only thing in common is "racing in post-apocalyptic landscape".
While at it, here's some background noise:
