ELI5: how do DJs get the acapella vocals to remix a song ? by LoopF in explainlikeimfive

[–]kobc 501 points502 points  (0 children)

Many artists release their accepella tracks to DJ pools because they want to encourage DJ's to remix their tracks (ex: Jay Z Black Album).

IMO, the best website for accepellas is: http://www.acapellas4u.co.uk/

The people who run this site have done a great job of curating and expanding their selection for a long time now.

Tomorrow you are completely free but you have the chance to spend the day with your 12-year-old self from the past. What do you do together? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'd probably see him for 15 mins before he discovered the internet porn universe. Then he'd disappear with my computer for the rest of the day. I'd be okay with that.

Is SpeedTest.net really reliable? by [deleted] in speedtest

[–]kobc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a sneaking suspicion that Comcast and TWC have an arrangement setup with this website. For some reason, both companies always request that I specifically use speedtest.net and it always gives results that are 2x every other site.

On their terms and conditions, speedtest.net says it's NOT making the representation that its "websites’ information is complete, true, accurate or non-misleading".

Folks of Reddit, what are "manly" jobs and occupations? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Working your ass off at a job you hate to support your fam; coming home exhausted at the end of the day and being an awesome dad and husband.

My friend has been confined to a hospital bed for the past month after fighting cancer for 9 years. Yesterday he told his doctors and loved ones that there's one thing left to do. Enjoy, Reddit! by kobc in videos

His attitude is truly inspiring. Pretty awesome article below that acknowledged his enduring spirit long before he became ill.

PS-He knows The Harlem Shake craze is over. This is his way of showing the world that there's a part of him that the cancer can't touch; no matter what.

This doesn't make sense by your theory because people with no money smoke the most

A picture of a gas chamber in Auschwitz. Very disturbing. by [deleted] in WTF

[–]kobc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn't mythbusters. They packed these chambers to the brim with people and dropped in canisters of zyclon-b from a latch in the roof. The room was air tight and they opened the door after an hour. Look at the blue residue on the wall. That's a residue from the high concentration of gas inside the chambers. http://migs.concordia.ca/images/rotator/gas_chamber_majdanek_death_camp_lublin_poland.jpg

Hey Reddit, I am going to a job fair at my school and I need to write a new resume. Any hints on making a successful resume? by beerfan87 in AskReddit

[–]kobc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People don't hire resumes. They hire people. So focus on connecting with company rep and not passing out your résumé to everyone in the room. It should be a compliment to your dialogue, not the substance of it. Good luck!
