Oct 9 2008Cool!: Sound Chasers Make Music
Sound Chasers are little cars that ride on strips of vinyl records that have been cut and connected together to form a track, playing the music as they cruise along. Awesome idea, but they sound like a cacophony. Going a step further and actually making a track that produces a good beat would be have been nice. But like most things in life, you don't always get the nice. Sometimes you get the ugly. Like last night. Thankfully I realized what I was doing on the ride home and pulled a 'duck and roll' out the passenger side door. In hindsight, I probably should have told her to take the wheel and used my own door, but seriously, fight or flight. I flew. Straight into a fire hydrant. Now it hurts to breathe.

I didnt like it
2. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 2:20 PM
I think its pointless and I cant think of a good reason to purchase something like this unless it can play the tune correctly. I mean yea its a great concept, but it didn't really play the music it just played the modulated spiral groove from that section of the record, and it wasn't even clear.

Sharpie is FR1ST!!!!!
4. Elmo - October 9, 2008 2:21 PM
christ, it sounds like a tape of murder victims played in the background of a Saw movie
5. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 2:22 PM
What do you guys think? be honest
6. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 2:22 PM
hahahahaha @ 4. i can see that
7. Daisy - October 9, 2008 2:25 PM
Fake!
This is obviously photoshopped scenes from Never back down.
You can tell, the shadows are all wrong.
Daisy (Less annoying than sharpie, and funnier too)

yea maybe i should just start saying the same thing on every f***in post and maybe everyone will think I'm funny, NOT!
9. GEOFF LEPPARD - October 9, 2008 2:27 PM
If I had made this, I DEFINITELY would have waited until it'd been refined to the Doesn't Sound Like Screaming Children Played in Reverse stage before posting a video on youtube.
10. GEOFF LEPPARD - October 9, 2008 2:28 PM
Looks like Sharpie's been taking the same comedy coaching classes as Borat.
11. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 2:30 PM
hahahaha, you know what. I actually was thinking about the movie while I was typing it, hahaha
12. Thumperchica - October 9, 2008 2:31 PM
Awesome idea, would be funnier if it only played CARS songs... "my best friends girlfriend" yadda yadda
I wouldn't have it in my house, but it would be funnier

What up bitches?! Did you miss jo mama? Coming soon to your local night club.
14. No.6 - October 9, 2008 2:44 PM
Honestly, I think this is really cool and inventive. If they'd work on their cars a bit (better motor control) and were careful about the sections of the album used, you could make some fun shit.
He rounds the John Denver hairpins, he's on the KISS straightaway, oh and he gets f***in' owned on the Pointer Sisters inside corner.....
15. Elmo - October 9, 2008 2:44 PM
I'm surprized that they didn't make the cut-outs so you could hear parts of the song... :\
that wouldn't give me nightmares, would it? *shudder*
hahaha, Borat... who doesn't think about that movie when you're on here :P
16. Keith Ledger - October 9, 2008 2:50 PM
If you send the cars down the track in one direction you get to hear a song, and if you go the other way you get a special message from the devil.
17. Holy shit. - October 9, 2008 2:54 PM
That was easily the dumbest f***ing thing I've ever seen on this site.
18. Ollie Williams - October 9, 2008 2:57 PM

20. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 3:09 PM
you know what, Thanks. Seriously, cause I have nothing better to do online so I check this site out all the time. I just never commented on anything. So your saying you guys have a certain language. Can I make up something if I'm the first to post? As long as its funny/retarded/ and makes no sense?
21. Thumperchica - October 9, 2008 3:11 PM
@20 - You understand completely!
22. ZenoZTankof - October 9, 2008 3:14 PM
That is what I call a Eureka moment Sharpie =)
23. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 3:15 PM
nice, nice, but no ice trays!
24. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 3:17 PM
That black pickup truck in front of my house is my Dad's. When I get my license next month he said I can drive it. Wanna go for a ride?
25. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 3:19 PM
im 26 you moron
26. Momboelitist - October 9, 2008 3:20 PM
@20, as soon as you get a sense of humor then go for it. Usually when you post first you are bound under blogger comments section contractual obligation to use one of the following phrases:
FIRST!!!
FRIST!!!
F1RST!!
Or any other variation of same.
By the way, if you run the cars backward do they play something having to do with devil worship? Or maybe the coming Robot Apocalypse?
27. Momboelitist - October 9, 2008 3:22 PM
@25, insulting another poster! Now you're getting the hang of it. Now if you can just do it without provocation....
28. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 3:28 PM
wow you guys are mean...........assholes :)
29. LSDiesel - October 9, 2008 3:32 PM
Now once you get that sense of humor down, change your user name so we all don't filter it through the "oh, this guy is a douche bag" lens.
30. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 3:34 PM
Nah I'm going to keep this username. You guys are just going to have to deal with my ass!
31. LSDiesel - October 9, 2008 3:58 PM
@30, No, I'll leave that to the priest
32. Elmo - October 9, 2008 4:19 PM
we'd deal with your ass anyway, I guess...
33. Konkey Dong - October 9, 2008 5:16 PM
did any of you lesbos realize that he broke the record that was the soundtrack to Never Back Down? If you listen closely when he puts the second car on the track its simultaneously playing the song from the opening fight scene with Sean and Brad and its playing the song from the love scene with Maria backwards. Hey! I'm Gay!
34. Elmo - October 9, 2008 5:43 PM
what's with all the bored spammers who have to say something about Never Back Down on every post???
35. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 6:26 PM
@24, 25 - I'm the moron, not me.
36. Sharpie - October 9, 2008 6:31 PM
I'm 26, but I'm slightly retarded so I haven't gotten a license yet.
Ok, I lied.
I'm VERY retarded. But hope to pass my license test soon. After I do, I'm the guy drooling in the black pickup.
37. We are his slaves - October 9, 2008 9:00 PM
Sharpie has officially taken this site over. We are but his slaves now, and must do his bidding, which may or may not include washing and waxing his delicate nether regions.
38. Azghul - October 10, 2008 2:43 AM
Totally annoying!
39. assbastard - October 10, 2008 5:14 AM
Never mind all that, it's taken 39 posts for someone to point out that the Geekologie Writer's article is possibly the funniest thing i've seen all week! My cheeks are sore from laughing. Nice!
