#hit record

[freetheshit-outofyou]

My 17yo and I were in the Jeep and 80's on 8 was playing. As soon as the music started, I'd be like "Oh man I loved this song" the then singing would start. After about the 4th song my son was like "Dad how do you know what the song is going to be when the music just started.

I said, "Man this is going to be one of my biggest old man stories ever." When I was a kid like 9 or 10 we watched a lot of "Name That Tune" at your great grandparents' house." I explained what the show was about and how they had to guess songs from a series of clues and the lowest possible notes played to identify the song. Then I told him that just a few years later when I got my first tape recorder, I would sit in front of that radio with a tape placed just right waiting for the song I wanted to keep. I told him, you can just pop online now and pull just about any song you want. When I was a kid you could hear your favorite song one of three ways, 1. Hear it on the radio at some random time. 2. Buy the record or tape, or if you had not caught up to the 80's yet maybe on reel to reel. 3. If you were lucky enough, you recorded to your kick ass mix tape of all your favorite song to rewind over and over and over.

I also told him that unlike those contestants on "Name That Tune" we had very little warning, no clues, we just had to rely on our ears. If we thought the first few notes sounded anything even close to what you wanted to record you hit "record and play". Because if you did not catch at least a little of the sound bridge you were sure to cut off the first words of the song. Or you jump the gun and got some of the D.J. talking, OR, it wasn't even the right danged song and now you had to rewind the tape to the perfect spot and like a trap door spider try to snatch that music out of the either once again.

Damn it I'm old, and its so cool.

Mr Know it All - How to Have a Hit Record

"Bullwinkle tells his viewers how to record a hit record and take it to a disc jockey."

[slunch]

you can also just skip the cassette player entirely and tell Audacity to record whatever sounds your computer is playing. you don't have to deal with quality loss because it isn't converted to analog and then back to digital.

A little warning to anyone only perceiving in three dimensions, this mashup is a bit of a doozy

Happy ace day!! Hooray!

Edit: Hi, I am once again emphasizing this isn’t a dig at people who enter relationships for physical attraction! The joke is on the fact this option will likely fly over the heads of people who dont experience sexual attraction and suchs!

hot(?) take but i don’t think we give yuri on ice enough credit for making a believable and powerful relationship between 2 men the Real focus of its story despite never really being marketed as anything other than a sports anime. like however you wanna interpret the “canon-ness” of the gay stuff it was a really wonderful surprise back when it first aired, and i think it deserves the insane hype it had for that reason

[adobe-outdesign]

If you haven't read the "Bunsen and Beaker's relationship" article on the Muppet Wiki you're missing out on a great summary of how the two have canonically gone from "could be read as gay but probably not intentionally" to "we're not even pretending these two are straight" over the years. these aren't even half of the entries btw

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.

His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.

His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.

Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.

Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.

Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.

But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.

But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.

He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.

And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.

And the truth is worse than all of the lies.

How horrifying.

Why do I get the feeling Vasco would just react normally to a horror. He would bake bread for the devil, man, he is the most well adjusted dude.

We begin Chapter 26 with two lovers, miles away from home, carefree and enjoying simulated life together. The first day away was packed with fun, laughter, good eats, warm sentiments and good company. In fact, they gained a wholesome romance dynamic which makes sense given who they are. Tune in tomorrow to see how Mr. and Mrs. Carruthers ended their first night in The Ville 👀.
