i'm shamed to be blessed with a sharp sense of pitch. that means flat hurts. i cringe!~ frankly, i think she's always been conscious of her shortcomings & resented the fact that she made it on her looks. but of course she did! without the sexy schoolgirl vibe Oldham wouldn't have even seen her! & a desire for pop stardom means she'll go on with it anyway. the conflict ruined her, though.

that's my issue with poor Marianne. she tends to fly flat as often as not. that means she's *not* on key, to my ears. have you ever seen her tv appearance with Bowie singing 'I Got You Babe'? it's painful to hear, she's so incredibly flat.

Linda Lee, i'm glad i don't have that sharp sense, I think i have the opposite— i really enjoy "off" and discordant sounds. You would NOT like to hear me sing, though i DO have the capability of singing in tune, i just prefer not to.

lots of great vocalists aren't trained singers & therefore don't 'sing well'. billie holiday was self-trained. she could carry a tune in key, though. and how. just stay with the key. that's all i ask!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:24pm

melinda: A friend of mine was working with a voice coach and discovered that the reason she sang so off key was because her sense of hearing tone was so keen it was throwing her voice off.

I like cassettes. they're compact and durable. cd cases seem more flimsy & disposable to me. Vynyl is best for artwork... I wanna make cassettes to sell on the street. tho I suppose cd's would make more sense. something about cassettes tho... the cases are such solid little artifacts... they'd be a much more practical self defense tool than a cd case or a record too. not that that should be high on the list of considerations. yep... cassettes have certainly well earned a spot in the top five mediums for conveying recorded music in my book

Rich in Washington:

One of the first things I did when I got a 4 track was to take a tape of Iron Butterfly's In A Gadda Da Vida and play the title track flipped so that it played backwards and made a dub of it.
I played it for a guy I knew who ran a local record store and he flipped out because he loved it so much. I gave him the tape, knowing I could just make another.
I showed up a couple of months later and he was selling bootlegs of it, complete with the artwork mirror flopped, like we'd joked about earlier. He wouldn't give me a copy, claiming he'd actually had the idea years before.

I was just kind of an old tossed off stoner joke, playing that song backwards. It wasn't really that original of an idea, but I just remember being kind of pissed about it at the time. The lesson was don't share creative ideas with people if I don't intend to do something with it myself. Live and learn.

Why don’t we all just get together and exchange them in front of the record store guy and not let him have one?

i tried several things backwards...revolution 9; whole lotta love; Bowie; foghat; George Crumb; Yma Sumac...i just mean in-a-gadda-da-vita was an excellent choice (which i hadn't thought of). the drum solo alone must've sounded great!
ten years after's "boogie on" would be another, along those lines.

I'm young enough that most of my teenage playback experiments were digital, but I also fell down some FANTASTIC rabbit holes of Satanic Panic/Illuminati backmasking conspiracy websites. I probably know "Stairway to Heaven" better backwards than forwards at this point.

@Ike Man, that's a good question. Most of that action is on Youtube now, but I'm sure there are some .WAV treasure troves still out there, probably with twinkly star backgrounds.

There was some Australian gentlemen who was making hay on the Satanic Panic/Backwards Masking hysteria but also claiming that guilty people inadvertently made confessions that could be heard when playing their statements backwards. He was all over talk radio during the Bill Clinton/Lewinskly scandal and also the OJ Simpson case.
A total charlatan and conman. But hilarious and engaging radio.

Oscar, you’d have loved Oklahoma in the 80s.

The Oscar:

@Rich I definitely stumbled across some of that too (not sure if it was the same guy you're talking about, but it could very well have been). Eventually I realized that "Yes" played backwards sounds a lot like "Satan," so there's pretty much always going to be a neverending supply of "Satanic" messages.

Ha. I think I remember trying to get this Seafeel when it came out by mail order and through many a usps mishap it just never happened. Odd reunion 25 years later.

If anyone hasn't seen it, check out Mdou Moctor's remake of Purple Rain (as in, the movie). There's no Tuareg word for "purple," so the title translates to "Rain the Color of Blue with a Little Red In It."

4′33″, by the way, is the most heavily sampled track in history.

That aforementioned guy was making his rounds on talk radio and I can't remember who - but some radio host wouldn't let him tell people in advance what was supposedly being said backwards, to let them decide for himself, and his whole act kind of collapsed. It was like Uri Geller v James Randi. Wish I could remember who...
