Quote from: The Butcher on July 15, 2026, 12:44:00 AMI've done this with many c64 songs. Also took heavy influence from Turrican II Theme song for one of my own songs 

Class - the C64 Turrican II Soundtrack was the business 

Any links to your version Mr.The Butcher?

Not a version of it per say but heavily influenced (start of the theme you'll hear the nods to it anyway) ->

I got into metal around the end of the 90s so think his show was just a bit before my time, would have always listened to Ray McGowan on Phantom though and got turned on to a lot of stuff through that

Fairly sure I've a pile of tapes of his show somewhere in my parents house

A line from your deck to a Zoom recorder at a low volume input to prevent clipping is the cleanest method I've used.
Can rip it direct to WAV and edit it with something like Audicity to clean it up more and amplify.

Quote from: Eoin McLove on June 30, 2026, 10:20:48 AMDescending on an escalator on my own a few minutes ago I let out a little stinker. As I was disembarking, a group of Japanese tourists we waiting to step in. I've still got it!

I do the sound for an outdoor gig every Tues night in the summer and yesterday while setting up, someone let an unbelievably toxic fart go that cleared the stage for a couple of minutes. A prolonged stinking-out of an outdoor space is a special level of potency!

France were shite, but Spain are an awful team for them matchup-wise. France are fairly weak in midfield and Spain have prob the best midfield in the world. Didn't expect them to win just as easily as they did in the end though. Can't see either England or Argentina beating them.

As for today, hopefully Argentina remove any remaining stress in this world cup and win today. Then I can enjoy the final completely as a neutral without really minding who wins, plus the bonus of hopefully seeing that France attack destroy England's dodgy defence in the third-place playoff.

If anyone does have a mind to rip any of their old tapes, the link below is the most straightforward guide I've found so far (see "Method 3") - looks like all that's needed is a cassette deck and a sound card with a line-in/microphone jack (no affiliation with the site or any of the software used, etc.):

There's walkman-like devices that have USB cables off them that can be used as well, but a fairly bespoke piece of kit most folks would have no need for.

Not tried this myself as yet (have nothing worth ripping, sadly) but looks like it should work.

Right... there's lads on here would lose me and find me again when it comes to audio recording/conversion, but just putting it here in case it's useful to anyone. I'll STFU about it now 

I am currently wearing a Slayer Show No Mercy vest.  Have a few Maiden ones as well that show off my hairy shoulders.  Great for this weather around the house and garden but I wouldn't wear one to the shops.   

I've got the standard issue middle-aged hairy shoulders so I look like an aging rocker style Tony Soprano in a vest. We can all do without that.

Must give that a watch later, thanks for sharing.
