Retro Rock Album to Celebrate 30th Birthday of Commodore 64->

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "After 8 years of hard work and a lot of procrastination Danish Commodore 64 rock band PRESS PLAY ON TAPE is proud to present the result: 26 tunes bundled in a double CD album named HOME COMPUTER. The title is a tribute to the time when a computer in the home was something special, where the computer was used in the living room in front of the TV, and the games were slowly loaded from tapes. The album features cover versions of tunes from the following games: Formula 1 Simulator, Winter Games, Parappa The Rapper 2, Ghosts'n Goblins, Gods, Nonterraqueous, Future Knight, The Human Race, Knuckle Buster, Lightforce, One Man And His Droid, Rambo: First Blood Part II, The Last Ninja, Master Of Magic, Aztec Challenge, Thrust, Commando, Sanxion, Shockway Rider, Monty On The Run, and Zoids. Additionally it contains four tracks composed by the band themselves, including the homage to the true hero of computer games “Man With The Gun” as seen on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k41em4dr30g

Not to mention, that the free to air channels (non cable) have 3 channels each (give or take) 1 HD and 2 SD.

Channel 10 dedicates it HD to: sports... crappy sports
Channel 9 dedicates it HD to: A woman focused channel, which is in reallity A re-runs channels that 90% of show are not in HD to begin with.
Channel 7 dedicates it HD to: A re-runs channels that 90% of show are not in HD to begin with.
Channel 2 dedicates it HD to: 24 hour News

So you see none of the big shows in HD in Australia (excepting cable)

And they they try to tell us they are 'fast tracking' shows from the U.S., which can mean a delay between, anything from 1 day to 6 weeks (usually towards the latter).

Forbes Names Microsoft's Steve Ballmer names worst CEO

It seems that the article has leveled some strong accusations of irresponsible and ineffective business practices; claiming that Microsoft has not progressed over the last 12 years of Ballmer's leadership.
