Sound choices...
We've got whips, several screeches, some motorbikes, assorted telephones and some classic camera clicking all going on in tonight's show. All you have to do is spot what the songs are. The theme is sound fx on pop songs and I think it's going to be fun couple of hours.
Obviously the 大象传媒 library has a wealth of sound fx to dip into but I did find this wonderful which has handy hints and tips for making your own home-made effects. Should you ever require to recreate the sound of 'blood and guts being torn out' then someone called Adam has the following advice:
"I know how to make a nice sound of blood and guts being torn out. Just make a milk pulp and put it into your mouth, and they try to say "Ghhhh". Mix it with the end section of any splash water sample or add a sample where you're moving out your hand from the barrel of water..."

Take the dressing (with the cap on and tip it quickly and hard for the stomach internal sound then in quick succession dump the water on whatever surface you want (sidewalk, toilet etc..) add a little "ughh" on top . You can easily do it all in one, works great! You can even do a few heaves before dumping the water for added realism."
I know an easier way involving several pints, premium vodka etc etc

In Blue Peter STYLE
You will require a length of strong wire folded into a U shape having made two loops at each end. Then take a split ring... bigger the better and attach with two elastic bands thicker the better to the frame... Select a suitably vinyl-covered chair / bar stool, discreetly wind it up slip it under yer buttock and let it rip... just as a suitable victim approaches the Bar...
Expression priceless...

I know its only an album track but I dare you to play "Breaking into Heaven" from the Stone Roses 2nd album, The Second Coming.
All sorts of wildlife noises in the intro ...... OK so it does ramble on a bit and it is about 7 minutes long but hang in there for a top tune. Get it oan !!
Does the "laser gun" effects on "I lost my heart to a starship trooper" count? Even though it is just a really poor synth effect? Keech song anyway so don't play that.
Failing that, I take it from the reference to clicking camera's that you'll have Duran Duran's "Girls on Film" ????

Hopefully I'll be back online at home so will see if I find something by them to listen to at the weekend. Heard the Warsaw Village band on Global Gathering this week and thought they sounded interesting so think I may investigate them further.
Jim. You're such a geek...and I mean that in a caring way. I have a turntable, make and model unknown, which I still refer to as the record player :-)

I started work in the June of '79 and by the October of '80, I had saved enough for my HI-FI from Victor Morris, Argyle Street. It consisted of the following...
Deck is a Sansui SR222 MkII then with a Grado MFG 11T cartridge
Amp is a NAD3020
Speakers Bose studio craft
I eventually graduated to a GLANZ MFG-11T until the little Mac鈥檚 made it their business to bounce the arm over the turntable when I wasn鈥檛 looking.
All the above 鈥渁part from the cartridges for the obvious reasons鈥 still all work perfectly...
