Otto's Weird Music Thread

Well it's catchy, but I have to wonder what got lost in the translation from Japanese... I looked up Overlord III, it didn't help any ;)

Not sure if it helps but Voracity is kind of Albedo’s theme song. Albedo, the lady in the thumbnail, is an overpowered succubus who is thirsty as hell for her master. But it also could be possible that the songwriters just took the “Hotel California” approach of the eagles. :p

An explanation I found on a Overloard forum:
There’s was too little budget left over to pay for food, so the music staff produced this song as a threat to the studio heads. True story 😁

WTF is that?

Well, you have to have read Lord of the Rings for it to make any sense at all.

It's a parody of the Council of the Wise in Lord of the Rings. In that section of the book, a group of Middle Earth Elders and Rulers gather to decide what is to be done with the ring. They know it needs to be carried into Mordor and destroyed at Mt Doom, and while they can provide help to get it there, none of them are willing to posses the ring because it will corrupt them, Frodo has to agree to do it.

In this parody, it's Mexican Drug Gangs, and instead of a Ring they are sending a package of drugs over the border to the USA. So everybody want's to send the drugs but nobody wants to be in possession of them.

Which reminds me :

Back in the distant past when Microsoft was working on the Win 95 replacement (in the days of dial-up) there was a magazine called Computer Shopper with a journalist called Huw Collingbourne. They had some space left on the cover CD so he put a song on it for a couple of months.

For your delectation :
Huw Collingbourne - Turn Off /On the PC

Ah yes, the days of Compuserve and the $2.95 charge A MINUTE for a 2,400 baud connection, on top of the phone company charges of course.

2400 baud! A luxury.

My first modem was an ex-GPO 19" rackmount 300/300 baud modem. Ah, the days when you could read the text as it was printed on the screen as it was recieved and a 'dirty' picture looked like this -

The first modem I owned was a 2400 baud, at the time I was working for a medium sized drug store chain in their data center, they had an IBM S/36 with POS terminals in the stores and they had a bank of 56K baud modems that pulled sales data from the stores nightly. The PC's controllers in the stores were IBM AT's, this was before the P/S-2. There were 70 stores, and it took most of the night to get a clean transmission of the data, particularly with stores on less stable phone lines.

They had a Series/1 IBM in the data center, I have no idea why they bothered maintaining it, they only used it to print labels for the warehouse.
