Volume 3: July 2000

This was the third album which featured a wide variety of everyone contributing. Most of the actual Machine intros were pretty simple, but individuals still found a way to be creative with them. New friends were starting to leave their feedback and various other friends decided to leave several contributions that have become classics . The 3 mixes on the album rang from various joke songs, to my extremely bad singing, to a nice Phil Collins mix.

The Music

Thank You For Being a Friend – As I was searching for long lost songs from my youth on Napster, this came up as I was also watching the Golden Girls. I though the idea of my friends ridiculing me as Andrew Gold sang ‘Thank You’ is pretty entertaining.

Old Medley – This was an attempt to mix all of the voice mail intros from Volumes 1 and 2 together into a dance mix.

Around the World in 80 Presecs – This was originally going to be the opener for Volume 3. As I was thinking of songs I could use I remembered that Phil Collins’s tape ended with this song and the flubs from the videos were over it. I decided it would also fit well for use with my friends.
