| My (Terrifying!) Music At Work |

I made myself an .mp3 CD to listen to at work, because while I'm normally a Radio Girl, late-night radio in this burg is dreadful. (Do I need to hear Rush/Fergie/Buck Cherry/Avril Lavigne as much as the two main stations want to play them? No. No I do not.) So I rifled through all the stuff on my computer and CDs, and came up with a collection that, when played on shuffle, keeps me in good, non-repeat tuneage for just under seven hours.
This collection includes a ghost song.
Seriously. I played my CD twice this past weekend--on shuffle--and both times, I heard this random song I a) have never heard before, b) cannot place title or artist for, and c) cannot find when I do a track-by-track search.
Seriously.
The first time I heard this song I totally didn't recognise, I just assumed I'd downloaded something new, hadn't listened to it yet, and put it on the CD at random. So I checked to see what track it was on the disc (I can't play the CD in the work computers, and the .mp3-playing CD player doesn't provide handy file labels on its display), intending to cross-reference it with the music files I'd burned from on my home computer. But when I checked at home, I could not find an unfamilar song. So I went back to the CD and tried to find the song by going from track one to track 98, actually checking each song one by one, just in case I'd misremembered the track number.
I could not find the song. It was not, as I very clearly remember noting the previous night, track 10; it was not any of the tracks. There is no song I do not recognise on this CD.
o.O
I have a ghost song. (It sounds vaguely like Radiohead--which, at least, adds an element of apropos amusement to the CREEPINESS--but not enough to actually be Radiohead.) I swear to God, if I hear it again, I don't care what's going on at work, I am cranking the volume and transcribing the lyrics.
...There won't be a The Ring/Shudder/White Noise-style movie come out of this, will there? 'Cause I would like to avoid that, really. |
