Fun Sounds for Thursday!

"WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN!! HA, HA, HA, HA, HAAAAAAAA!!!!"

Pay no mind to the crazed guy in the photo--I have no idea who he is. But he sure seems to be having fun.

And we are going to have fun, too. Oh, yes, we are. These fun sounds will provide the background music for our fun. Prepare to have fun.

Did I mention that these sounds are fun? They are.

HAL, 1961-style, at eBay!

"This wonderful relic from the dawn of speech synthesis is a 2-minute recording from Bell Laboratories, showcasing the work of John L. Kelly and Louis J. Gerstman for the Visual and Acoustics Research Department," reads Microship's eBay ad for Synthesized Speech (1961), which has four days and ten hours to go (as I write this). I featured this very record (well, my copy of it) last year and got a ton of hits. Here's your chance to own the disc itself.

Hear the synthesized-speech version of Daisy, Daisy that inspired HAL's 2001 performance. (Who'd have thought HAL's was a cover version?)

Check it out.
