One of the funniest things I've seen is Dave Chappelle's routine about the bus held hostage by a masturbating homeless man. Chappelle imitates a passenger flinching and shrieking "Biological Attack!" Then he describes the homeless man walking up and down the aisle, stroking himself and saying "OK, who wants some?" while riders sit there helpless with fear. Finally a burly man at the back of the bus says, "Let's rush him! He can't hit all of us!" The attacker is subdued, but not before a man gets a "nut busted" on his balding forehead. "Can't I get AIDS from this?" the man wails. "Of course not," says Chappelle, but then admits to the audience he has no idea and just said it to make the guy feel better.

As long as we're posting animations too large or silly for the blog, here's one called Atom Kitty, or, The Philosopher.

"Clip City" [mp3 removed]. This analog drum machine (the blue thing below) is so punchy puffs of air come from the speaker; unfortunately I have no digital recorder that will capture the full bass. So I went for a gritty "I did it at home" sound--lots of hiss, hum, and clipping, hence the title. This has a slightly menacing mood, at least until the Sidstation comes in. [Update--the tune has been re-recorded and reposted. I made separate tracks and subtracted "clipboard noise" on each one--what a concept--and then remixed it, eliminating most of the extraneous noise and eponymous clipping, except for a few bad patches. I also softened the Sid.] [Update 2: re-recorded again, and this time eliminated the clipping but at the cost of reduced volume. It's all there--you just have to "play it loud," as they were always saying on '60s rock records.]

"Tasteful Triphop" [mp3 removed]. The flip side of "Clip City"--a smooth rhythm track with lots of resampling, designer bleeps, and more of that spectral delay sound. This could be a car commercial.

Update: "TT" was remixed and reposted in 2009.
