The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century :: Joey deVilla's Personal Weblog

For Your Listening Pleasure

I'm extremely busy this week (two major product launches at work), so I present to you some audio from my collection...

Picking Up Girls Made Easy

Three tracks from the classic 1970s self-help cassette by Eric Weber titled Picking Up Girls Made Easy. I posted The Walking the Dog Pick Up back in June; I've included the other two tracks I have from this (unintentionally) hilarious tape:

The Beach Pick Up [1.4 MB MP3]
The Walking the Dog Pick Up [1.4 MB MP3]
The Women's Clothing Store Pick Up [1.6 MB MP3]

I downsampled these and changed them from stereo to mono to shrink the file sizes; email me if you'd like to get the full-sized versions in their hi-fi glory.

It's a Sin (To Tell a Lie)

Also in the "Why the hell was this ever recorded?" category is Brent Spiner (you know him better as "Data" from Star Trek: The Next Generation) singing a barbershop quartet-ish number called It's a Sin (To Tell a Lie) [3.8 MB MP3]. What really makes the number is Patrick Stewart (you lnow him better as "Captain Jean-Luc Picard") doing the narrative over the instrumental section.

About This Blog

Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:

In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.

We then made a solemn vow to live in a way to keep our ratings up.

This is the continuation of that story.
