Topic: Interesting Facts About Music :O

The longest album title was set by Fiona Apple; it is:

"When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight And he'll win the whole thing before he enters the ring There's no body to batter when your mind is your might So when you go solo, you hold your own hand And remember that depth is the greatest of heights And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you know that you're right"

EDIT: Dropped the caps -.-

Some people want everything, but where would they put it?

Re: Interesting Facts About Music :O

The first album to be released only on CD was The Cure's "Concert: The Cure live".

The first song ever to be played on MTV was Buggles' "Video killed the radio star".

"What was the world's first recorded song?

In 1877, with the creation of his phonograph complete, Thomas Edison tested it.

The first song ever recorded was his rendition of 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. "

Re: Interesting Facts About Music :O

But Edison didn't claim to invent the light bulb, he set out to develop a long-burning filament.

And he invented the first playback device.

The first "recorded" song was from 1250 BC Nippur, in cuneiform.  Although only fragments survive it appears to be a lyre composition of Miserlou

This used to be the best signature ever, but after several years, a mod noticed it had a swear in it, and removed it.  I am happy to see they are paying attention.
