Custom Picture Disc
I wasn’t planning on putting anything else out before the weekend but this one was too simple a subject to warrant a longer video - so consider it a bit of an extra.
I'll be making this one public later today as the views on Tuesday's helmet camera video have already dried up.
You should be seeing the next proper video here on Patreon on Sunday, and that one won't be going public until later next week.
Oh and if you're interested - I made up a t-shirt with the same picture https://tspr.ng/c/techmoan-green-muppet
The prices seem a bit high to me for a t-shirt, and I'm not sure how many people would want to look like this in public.

I love it! You definitely made the right choice regarding the song and the artwork! :)
"the views on Tuesday's helmet camera video have already dried up" is a little unnerving -- don't some of your videos continue to get views over the coming months?
They used to do, but in recent months things have changed so that the majority of views have been coming in the first 48 hours. This video didn't appeal to many of the subscribers so it's had an even shorter run.
I noticed that the first moment you appeared, the clock in the background hit 11:11:11. Talk about impeccable timing. Too bad those records cost £40+ each. You could've had one record of Muzak, one of techno (tons of copyright free techno stuff on YouTube), and maybe one more with just you giving a speech on something. That way, you can test the quality of record players and stereo speakers. Ah well...
I'd always try things out with a good quality record with a familiar track off camera. This isn't really a test disc, more a demo disc, to show that something works when I turn it on.
The use of the World Eye in this video is superb! The logo looks really good on it.
Thanks this was the first video I shot showing the logo animation - the next couple of videos have been shot out of sequence...so it won't be appearing in the background...but I plan to use it again when the opportunity arises.
What is that sound at the very end of the video? Some audio encoded data?
It's a sound effect used by Universal on their TV shows and movies in the 70s and 80s whenever they showed a computer. It's most commonly known from the Six Million Dollar Man...you find a link to it in the video description text box.
What is the origin of that song? I mean, who composed and performed it?
I found it on a Tefi Cart. More recently a subscriber sent me a stereo version he found on an old record. I forget the name of the artist...but it dates from around 1960.
That was the song I was expecting with that picture!! Loved it.
Yes it couldn't really be anything else.
Pretty kool stuff. I love the idea for a wedding present.
I'm pretty sure they'll be loose on applying the copyright rules...you just have to tick a box to say that you're allowed to use the track...I wouldn't expect they'd be doing content matches....and at £40+ for a disc it's not really a high volume piracy operation.
