Auditory Illusions

Ever hear of holophonic sound?
Now you have.

It’s a special kind of sound recording that mimics the human ear in such a way that playback is extremely realistic. Hard to explain, it’s better to have a listen for yourself. Click here and play the “virtual haircut” recording. Remember to listen using headphones — speakers don’t work.

If you are interested in learning how this works check out the WikiPedia Article on Holophonics and Binaural recording.

Worst Haircuts of All Time

Our friend Shawn at Nostalgiaholic.com produced a hilarious expose on hair faux-pas…

The White Afro

White Afro
Aka:The Wafro, The Man’s ‘Fro, Clown Hair, and “Holy crap, look at that guy !!!”

Era: 1970s-present

Victims: Prog-rock, folk, and disco musicians (what’s the connection?), NBA players, people who just woke up, and balloon animal artists.

If you see a black man sporting an afro you think “Wow, he’s a bad mutha”, but if you see a white guy with the same hairdo you think “Wow, he must be single!”.

Looking just as silly paired with puffy tie-dye shirts as it does with tight shorts and roller skates, this iconic 70s style went from hip blaxploitation do to suburban don’t with the onset of disco and glitter body paint.
