A little mix I put together of quotes from the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" episode "Space Mutiny" and the "Legrous" background track from the game "Zero Wing."

"Zero Wing" is believed to be in the public domain.

My multitrack a capella cover of "Yatta" by Happatai.

Translation hacked out and arranged using a couple of fan translations, an online translation site, and a little advice from a fluent Japanese speaker.  Any errors are my own.

Original "Yatta" song is &copy; Pony Canyon, Inc. My contributions, to any extent as they may be defined, are released CC by/sa.

There's a video, of sorts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loLskntKDNo

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, run through Google Translate from English, to Chinese, to Russian, to Punjabi, to Welsh, back to English and performed by Rob Vincent.

Music: "Hail Columbia" by the US Marine Corps Band (public domain). 

Original mistranslation:

5.87 years , and our fathers that all men are created equal , dedicated to freedom of the uterus and forth on this continent a new nation came .

Now we are engaged in a great civil war , that nation or any nation has been conceived, and so dedicated , can long continue . Battle of the big war . For us to survive here in this country and gave their lives as a final place of rest in this area has come to set aside part . This we should do , which is natural .

However , in a broader sense , we can not worship the earth , we can not dedicate , devote unable . Who struggle brave men , living and dead , surrender, or to add it to roam far above our power is poor . Note Small World , nor long remember telling us , but they can never forget. Dedicated to the work on the cross , our life , , , , , and fought heroically . None of the rest of them here so that we can complete their last full measure of devotion to die to become more committed to the work we have great honor to devote themselves to this is that we will not die in vain , because they are the very definition of it - the dead by God , freedom and government of the people, people , freshmen will , and will not destroy the earth .

Spur-of-the-moment singing in my New York City apartment window during a midnight drizzle, in order to help get something through my system.

The real song is by @information-society from their album "Peace & Love, Inc."  Get and pay for their version, as it's far more listenable and danceable.

My standup at "Say Everything" - October 1, 2015

While Emmanuel Goldstein, the regular host of WBAI-FM's hacker-produced talk show "Off the Hook," was away on assignment, I ran the board and took the opportunity to go off on a rant about the virtues of hard media formats as they get more difficult to obtain.

Cohosts: Mike, Bernie S.

"Off the Hook" broadcasts Wednesday evenings at 7PM Eastern from WBAI-FM in New York City, and streamed live on http://wbai.org .  More info, and our full episode archive, can be found at http://www.2600.com/offthehook/ .

"Off the Hook" excerpt - Old Rob Yells At Cloud

A quick and dirty cover of Underworld's song "Cowgirl," aka "one of those EDM tracks from the 'Hackers' movie."

While trying to get something else recorded I was interrupted by construction noise on the street outside my apartment, so I decided to open the window and quickly record something that it'd be appropriate to have whirring machinery and traffic in.

DJ Luciernaga woke up from a decade-long nap to do this.
