Well you DO realize the first message in this specific topic was about 8 years ago right.
I have a feeling it will be fine.

I made a thread about slowing down music without the robotic or choppy timestretching.  VLC in advanced settings and Audacity can do this and I highly recommend it.  Join the thread and share what music you play slowed down,

let's rock and roll

Try slowing the roll to really rock out!  Play your favorite rock n roll at a reduced speed without trying to match pitch.  This is called timestreching, and can have a very robotic effect.  VLC can allow this, but you need to disable a default setting in advanced.  Unchecking the time stretching option will play a song slower like a tape or big 12 inch record.  This allows a very smooth playback and creates a much different listening experience.  It may seem trivial or not a big deal, but give it a go and you'll be amazed how nice of a change it can be.

 

Bob Seger with a 10-15% lower speed is a good place to start, but anything can work.  Don Felder's "Heavy Metal" can allow the song a longer experience, heavier bass, and the guitars high pitch will still shine.  I really believe people are missing a great experience if you haven't tried this.

 

Audacity can do this by just sliding the playback slider, and finding the tempo that suits you best at that time.  Keep the mouse button held or use the arrow keys.  I've made a thread about it, it's on page 2 off-topic.

What have you been smoking... Or not smoking?  I'm not advertising anything more than an idea, another perspective of musical entertainment.

'Twas but a joke, sorry for not making that more clear.
And what does it matter for what particulate one inhales?

I finally created my account just to ask this. Was reading an article on Ars Technica about an HIV outbreak that started because of a process called "Vampire Facials". It mentions "microneedling" which I remember Linus mentioning when he shaved his beard. Does anyone know if that is the cosmetic procedure he got done?
