Error Tone Music

Apparently, using computer error tones to generate music constitutes a whole new genre. Here's one sample.

@Sarah Ann, it certainly is! (Actually pretty catchy, IMHO!) I still like "Dictionaraoke" -- midis combined with the talking dictionaries ... I recommend scrolling down a little to "The Buggles" piece, "Video Killed The Radio Star", first to get the irony, but most of them are a lot of fun. http://www.dictionaraoke.org/index.html

@Mario -- very interesting. Kraftwerk (sp?) is entertaining, but your link is visually disturbing as well. Another classic "visually disturbing" music vid I keep coming back to is the amazingly non-erotic Palmer piece, "Addicted to Love" -- I mean, it pushes all the buttons but no lights come on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcATvu5f9vE

The band is hot, but my impression is that an inflatable doll would be more responsive. Maybe just my own opinion, I prefer some kind of intercourse. (You DO know what a four-letter word ending in "K" meaning "intercourse" is, don't you?) ("TALK")

IMHO, YMMV

Pound for pound, the most erogenous zone in the human body is the brain.

Which may be off-topic, but it's the truth.
