Pink Is The Colour

I was reading a discussion on Lifehacker this morning about listening to music while studying, whcih mentioned an earlier post about pink noise. Between the guy on the radio and one of my coworkers I knew I had to take action or suffer the consequences. I felt a MacGyver moment coming on.

One of the comments on the pink noise post led me to download a little app which generates a wave file containing 12 seconds of the stuff. A hop, skip and a jump over to SourceForce enriched me with a copy of Audacity which enabled me to copy-and-paste to my wee hearts delight and voila, 50 minutes of pink noise in an mp3 sandwich which I swiftly transfered to my iPod. Powerful.

I’m listening to it now while I’m writing this post. It reminds me of Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music and like MMM, I don’t know if I like it and I may well either be sick or go mad.

Now if I only had some duct tape…
