DEBRIS.COMgood for a laugh, or possibly an aneurysm

So I found myself in the car for about four hours today, occasionally scanning the FM band on the off chance I’d find something other than the regular morning masturbation of most radio show hosts during rewinds of the latest Dream Theater album.

I paused the relentless channel-scan on a news program. I realized after a few moments that the station was playing a “newsroom” soundtrack behind the announcer’s voice. It sounded like 100 people frantically hammering on typewriters.

Typewriters? Sheesh, why not telegraphs?

Granted, this particular station’s demographic is old enough for this anachronistic sound to be accepted without question. (“Coming up after the break: The Association! Stay with us.”)

No, it’s not at all ironic that I’m ridiculing the sound of one old technology while listening to another. My car’s cassette player is not deserving of your scorn. Besides, the other car has a CD player. Now leave me alone.
