Title: Beach Boys warping through space Post by: sofonanm on April 04, 2009, 02:23:12 PM this is a fairly useless and mindless thread, i admit
but goshdarn, if i am not amused by speeding up/slowing down their songs and basking in the warped beauty. :-D my favorite is raising the entire thing about six semitones and raising the speed to 200%. although, listening to the Smiley version of Heroes and Villains set about four semitones down gives them that deep, middle aged barber shop singers sound. i strongly suggest everyone drops what they're doing right now and play around with this. it relieves stress. >:D Title: Re: Beach Boys warping through space Post by: Chris Brown on April 04, 2009, 03:04:02 PM There used to be (and perhaps still is) a Windows Media Player plug-in that allowed you to do that, and it was indeed cool to play with. I never really messed with the speeds, but I always found it interesting to hear songs in different keys.

Smiley Smile becomes the greatest album by seven year olds ever. 8) Title: Re: Beach Boys warping through space Post by: Jay on April 04, 2009, 07:44:11 PM There used to be (and perhaps still is) a Windows Media Player plug-in that allowed you to do that, and it was indeed cool to play with.
