Anyone else old enough to remember pre-cubicle office layouts?
Both straight-up bullpens of juniors' desks in grids facing the desk of the boss... to semi-partitioned "individual" or group "offices" made of drywall and glass partition panels?
I never worked in a grid bullpen, but I did have job interviews in places like that. By the 1970s those were often lorded over by some ex-military guy. Programmers served a month or two of the year as "operations" staff keypunching from coding sheets, hanging tapes, tearing off and separating and filing printer output, sweeping and emptying trash, etc.

Recently visited a place I retired from over a decade ago. Sort of back to bullpens and multicubes, but now all standing desks and only very limited storage and filing space and one tiny bookshelf. Egad.
Want to sit? Er, is it your break? Moo!
I never encountered something like so at work and frankly it looks pretty doom and scary.
However at some public sector offices (that the last renovation have been done since, never), yeah I've seen some of the iron desks and they look way worse than those that the video shows.
Thankfully when I worked at public sector the building was relatively new so we had casual desks but when I visited peripheral buildings "I've seen some stuff that would turn you white", or black, depending. :)
For much of my career men working in an office were expected to wear a white shirt, necktie, and dress slacks every day. I think that began to change around 1990 or so.
The song was from 1983 and written for the movie "National Lampoon's Vacation" but most of the beginning scenes where Clark Griswold's office was shown got cut. Even by 1983 the music video's office environment was getting dated. Part of that was rapid changes going on after the story was first written, part was intentional throwback to emphasize how grim the daily grind was for Clark.
Music is not allowed in the office. but in my head
Rapp song.

It's kind of fun to hear new people discovering classics. Often these are professionals like this singer and voice coach:

Currently I am listening to a Jao Meri Tamannasong
I'm sure you won't know this song. It's a local South African artist. Beautiful song.

That last on is "stolen" , the original is way better.
I believe my music knowledge is better than most people, but I have to admit I don't know who else, besides Lacy J Dalton, sang that specific song. I can't find anything on the internet :)Quote:

All the song relies on the main riff of it.

Eerily enough, for me it brought up an ad for Northrop Grumman.

Some of these really take an old fart back to a lost place and time.
Music is like this.... pure nostalgia....Quote:

All I remember is a 2 season TV series. Sort of an "anime noir with giant robots" and a definite whiff of Batman in there. The setting is an isolated city where some event 40 years ago destroyed everything outside and left survivors with little or no memory of life before.
@sapator - sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but I bloody love this song! It's been playing in my mind from time to time, thank you for sharing it.

Heard this one recently in the car of a friend.
Actually not my prefered genre (I'm Rock and Metal-Fan for 35 years), but it's not leaving me alone....

Not to argue but having a guitar on distortion does not make it heavy metal. Strange song tho, not for my taste but it's, different.Quote:

This one is weird in terms of genre. Disco with a country flavor, or the other way around?

I'm watching this - again.
I love this comment -Quote:

But I feel better knowing that it's supply of smokin' hot violinists is still better than ever
I know I have a tin ear, but that sounds just like something from a 1980s 8-bit Nintendo game to me. Megaman or something?
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, a concept album, very much a late 1970s staple of the music scene, certainly over here.
They did create a PC/PS 1 set of games using the same music but in the late 1990s. In the early 2000s a new remastered, mashed up version came out with a much more modern 'vibe' that quite suited the original. Worth looking out for the original album and the remastered version.
Well recently I have watched this, which is a great piece of performance art as well as music. Ren in an Independent artist has been blowing up all over the Internet lately mainly due to this song which is autobiographical.
If you not seen it yet you should.

Wasn't sure what to make of it at the start but really started to enjoy it as it went on.
Yeah i thought the same, what the hell is this at the beginning but I really enjoyed it.Quote:

Ren is an interesting guy, he signed a record deal with Sony when he was about 19 but then got very ill so they dropped him as he couldn't tour. Turns out he had Lymes disease which was misdiagnosed as bipolar and ME for years which kind of screwed his body up. Over a decade later and somewhat healthier he is releasing music independently.
stumbled across this one.
Big shout out to all scots here

I'm only disappointed in the video as it doesn't include Cena dancing a ridiculous choreography.

Anyone like less common musical instruments?

From that remixed War of the Worlds Album by Jeff Wayne mentioned earlier, the same old song but with a good dance beat. Perhaps a little more threatening to fit into the War of the Worlds theme...

I've seen a few of her songs on you tube. She's really good and it's particularly interesting to watch some of live performances at festivals.Quote:

It also happens to be surprisingly pretty good

Well, if we're going all in on genre bending cross overs:-
ACDC on bagpipes... complete with pyrotechnics
Bluegrass Motorhead (I actually caught these guys live a couple of years ago)
