Computer Tunes

Hello there! Some of you faithful viewers of KKP may have noticed that I was absent yesterday from any new articles. That is because Monday was saved for a computer parts shopping spree downtown with my good friend who is also someone very blessed with computer-creating and computer-repairing skills. We brought back everything to my place and he used a few hours to give some fine upgrades to my two computers and they're now humming with increased speed and capacity now. My great gratitude to him. There's still one more part to come in but basically we're done.

As such, I thought I would put up another Author's Picks with the theme here being songs which have something to do with computers. One entry might seem a bit odd but in that case, you can take a look at its original article to find out why I chose it.

(1978) Yellow Magic Orchestra -- COMPUTER GAME ~ Theme From The Circus


(1981) NHK Jido Gassho Dan -- Computer Obaachan (コンピューターおばあちゃん)


(1982) Donald Fagen -- I.G.Y.  (What A Beautiful World)


(2015) Natsume Mito -- 8-Bit Boy (8ビットボーイ)

  1. I glad to hear your computer is back up and running! Are you on Windows or on Linux desk top? I am not sure one can really up date an Mac these days(at least not easily). I am on Mac and seem all the parts are kind of soldered in. Anyway, I was surprised when new post did not show up! I have listened to ComputerObachan before I think on NHK's mina no uta?

    1. Hi, Brian. I'm on Windows. And my computer-fixing buddies are all on Windows as well. We won't get anywhere near Macs.

      "Computer Obaachan" was on regular rotation on "Minna no Uta".
