Re: Random & Fun
I found about this just today and it blew me away: a TV advert for Luden's cough drops, with sounds and music by Frank Zappa.
The celeste runs and "snork" sounds were later used in several of Zappa's albums, and it's downright amazing how it works so well in that context. He won a Clio Award for his sound editing work.
The voiceover at the end is by Captain Beefheart.

Transmission Awesome interviews Little Kuriboh.
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do bad things. - Jingo, Terry Pratchett
Re: Random & Fun
Of all the things I had to do in school that I appreciate not doing any more, I think putting up with people trying to make learning fun has to rank pretty highly. No more making posters about balanced diets, comics about bible stories, or having people try to teach me through song. Oh, wait - email today:
It's quite possibly something funny and nerdy, but the whole idea of anyone explaining anything through rap is one which brings back so many bad, bad memories, that I couldn't delete this fast enough.**********************************

I suddenly understand how the rapping dog from Titanic fits into the natural selection process.

Oh yeah, meant to say this yesterday - it finally rained yesterday. That made my brain extremely happy indeed. I'm not used to this seasonal warmth
