Yep, the 3.4 song is out. Enjoy: song34.mp3 and the lyrics . I haven't given it a listen yet but people like it, I guess. Make sure you look at who was doing the backing vocals, too ...

    But I preferred 3.1 and to a lesser extent 3.3's songs to the others so far.

    I suppose I am more of a rock fan.

      If 3.1 is the Rammstein sounding one, that's my fav too.

        Here here... Rammstein is great and I love all the rock ones, and I like this one too.... except for the RAP... That's just me though.

          I not a fan of rap either, but I actually enjoyed the mixed styles in this case. I think they pulled it off really well.

        Agreed. Her(Onalea Gilbertson) voice completely blew me away. I couldn't believe the OpenBSD crew managed to find such an amazing vocalist for what is, after all, a gag (i.e. humour) aimed at a small audience, and not a serious stab at the hit parade.

    "Back-vocals by Bob Beck, Calvin Beck, Theo de Raadt, Alan Kolodziejzyk, Jonathan Lewis & Peter Valchev."

    the new song is hilarious!

    I had already made my mind up... I had to get to OpenBSD. NetBSD is just fine, really it kicks a**, but I need some more extras, like this song. I'm done. Tommorrow, the whole home network gets opened... ma', you've been warned!!

    ps: shouldn't they sel records?

      Nah, selling records is useless, they only have one song per release, and only 5 songs in all, the songs do come on the second CD and stated on the lyrics page.

        I was kidding for sure... I just wanted everyone to feel that I feel that this sond is cool :)

      I have three records by The Plaid Tongued Devils, bought them directly from them when i listened to them in Calgary. It's a great band.

          Where's Darren Reed?


          He's the Balrog, big flaming dude.
          And i suppose GOBBLES is one of the ring wraiths,
          always seeking what he won't ever keep.

    I looked but didn't find the information. Is this song released under the BSD license or another license that allows redistribution?

    Comments

    1. By Anonymous Coward () on

      BSD

      Comments

      1. By EDOOFUS () on

        Isn't ISC the preferred license for the new stuff?

      2. By Anonymous Coward () on

        They should use a creativecommons.org license. They have many to choose from there.

    Did you notice the difference of size between the MP3 and OGG versions ?

    -r--r--r-- 1 12187 668 2898547 Apr 17 2002 song30.mp3

    The song from OpenBSD 3.3 is about 3.2 Mo in OGG and 7.4 Mo in MP3.

    The song from 3.4 is 5 Mo in OGG and 7 Mo in MP3.

    Looks like OGG compression is not so bad.

      I noticed the file size difference also, so I got both files and tried to see if I could tell. In my opinion the mp3 version sounds more full. Of course this could be because a lower sample rate was used to encode the ogg file.

    2. By Anonymous Coward () on

      Yeah, that's what happens when you encode at 256kbps...

    3. By Anonymous Coward () on http://www.vorbis.com/

      Like with most lossy compression schemes, the Ogg Vorbis ratio is adjustable, so just comparing files size like that is quite meaningless. But yes, for a "comparable" sound quality, MP3s will definitely be larger.

      Ogg Vorbis is a really cool audio format, which IMHO sounds *way* better than MP3, even at lower bitrates. But this is subjective, so read reviews, listen to samples etc, decide for yourself.

      What sounds even better, Ogg Vorbis is 100% patent/royalty-free. The format is public domain, reference software is under a BSDish licence.

      'nuf said. See http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp

      Time to ditch MP3 and the rest...

    A typical track you'll start singing along with once a certain excess of alchohol runs through your body :)

      That's not an excess. That's a therapeutic dose for living!

        I don't even need alcohol for singing that.
        I'm hoarse now (really)
