I actually saw someone wearing an "I'm with Stupid -->" T-shirt today. Never saw anyone wearing one of those outside of the funny books. I also saw a man screaming at his imaginary girlfriend, and a nappy-haired gentleman sitting on a fire hydrant, wearing a Hawaiian Shirt and Panama hat, smoking a cuban cigar, but I really don't feel they command as much attention.
Oh, and by the way, XML is your friend.

Anybody wants to buy me this:
Behringer MIC100 Tube Ultragain Microphone Preamp with Limiter - zZounds.com - I'll be your good buddy for a while.
Buy me this Behringer MIC2200 Ultragain Pro
- zZounds.com
- and I'll like you even better.
Buy me this: MAudio MobilePre 2x2 16-Bit 48kHz USB Interface with Microphone Preamp
and there's no telling what I'll do..

The idea is to be able to record voice samples directly onto my computer, but I've noticed (and had it pointed out) that that ususally results in a low hum where there should be silence. This should set the levels right and give my recordings an overall better sound, though I don't expect studio quality with equipment under $1000.

The wealth of info on the internet has assured me that the eighties will never die.
What do you seek?

Samples and full lyrics to the Rainbow Brite theme song?
Done.

Pics, reviews and vid clips from the Garbage Pail Kids movie?
No prob.

But when it comes to Background music from the original He-man cartoon show, things get tricky.

As it turns out, Filmation put out the original soundtrack on tape a number of years ago. But it was only released in Argentina.
Thanks to a resourceful listener, these tracks are available for download at THIS LINK
However, all they released, apparently, was the "good guy" music, and not the stirring action or travel music, usually associated with the evil goings on on the show.
Disappointing, because I really had 2 tracks in mind (literally, the music is running through my mind as I write this), and they are nowhere to be found.
If anyone has any indications or leads as to where I can find any of the music I want, please email me at Heman-AT-ElieHirschman.com... just replace the -AT- with @.
