Some time ago I wrote an OSIX theme song, and now everyone brave enough to listen can do so.

Some time ago I wrote an OSIX theme song and sent the link to a few fortunate souls. However, I am now making this song available to everyone brave enough to listen. It's available at http://students.washington.edu/skinnerm/music/osix.mp3, in a folder with a whole bunch of other music I've written. The beat is nice and old school sounding, but the vocals are quite sketchy, so if anyone has the free time and motivation they can go right ahead and record their own rendition of this masterpiece. And if you approve of the theme song, or happen to like anything else I've stashed in that location, you can vote for me in a competition I've entered: http://www.neve.eu/nevolution/vote.php?band=375.

Comments: think12 2006-09-24 06:59:22 "Thank you for your vote." Done. It had nothing to do that I was mentioned in the song though ;) Also, we should store this mp3 locally. Gisterogue 2006-09-24 09:05:07 lol - the song is pretty cool - the drum beat reminds of cracktro's - i like :D Not being horrid - but the singing is scary :o We should do a collaboration - I'm gonna search you out on IRC kdemetter 2006-09-24 09:38:01 good music , but sometimes it's hard to hear what you are singing . So maybe a little louder would be better . I tried to vote , but it said i voted already ? paranoia 2006-09-24 14:33:40 think12: thanks for the vote, and put the song wherever you like. gisterogue: sounds cool to me, and i'm well aware that my singing is awful, but the evil folks on irc made me do it anyway. kdemetter: yeah like i said the vocals are horrid, but perhaps i'll post lyrics somewhere (i think i've got them written down). and that's weird about the voting... maybe try again later so they don't get confused about the sudden flood of hits from this referrer. Gisterogue 2006-09-24 16:34:08 paranoia good stuff :P can you hook me up with the lyrics and an instrumental version of the track? I'll see if I can come up with something a little sexual - then we can have it playing on the OSIX front page every time you visit ok maybe not - but still, heh. paranoia 2006-09-24 17:20:28 instrumental track is floating in that same folder: http://students.washington.edu/skinnerm/music/layering.mp3 lyrics (more or less): osix net is awesome i go there way too often and if you get this song's jokes then that means you do to but osix net is awesome and bb's a dirty crackwhore don't blame me for that though cuz think12 made me say it the goats are neat the riddles are fun and codebug's useful but mostly for spammers yes osix net is awesome and we go there way too often but this is not a problem because we are the geeks and we know it w0lf 2006-09-25 08:40:54 /me notes the named directory on the server. Are you secretly a chav hiding here to get away from the infamy and stress of being "The Streets"? paranoia 2006-09-25 16:25:16 nah, just an interesting coincidence. i wish i was that cool. xpi0t0s 2006-09-26 06:01:40 Is it as awful as ESR's Free the Software song? Domuk 2006-09-26 08:18:02 I liked this one! Much better than I was expecting. w0lf 2006-09-26 11:00:30 Anyone still got boefe's (at least I think it was his) song that he did back in the day? Gisterogue 2006-09-26 11:57:31 you all need to head over and listen to the zZine podcast with MC Gisterogue's rappin' bout Goats, AOL and how to be an uber hacker - that's some quality geeky rapping tuneage Anonymous 2006-09-26 17:09:02 w0lf : boefes is on the server - its the 'prize' for competing one of the bonus rounds (probly wav file one) Anonymously add a comment: (or register here) (registration is really fast and we send you no spam) BB Code is enabled.
