Suzanne Vega- Tom's Diner (Acoustic)

[@myrtzamaral]

"The Tom Diner" (Acapella) was used by Karlheinz Brandenburg to develop the audio compression scheme known as MP3 (Fraunhofer Society). "I was ready to fine-tune my compression algorithm ... somewhere down the aisle, a radio was playing 'The Diner Tom.' I knew it would be almost impossible to compress this 'hot' voice as a variety of materials critically analyzed was involved in codec design for many years without success "...? In a documentary (2009) on music history made by TV SVT (Swedish), Brandenburg said he was "finishing the doctoral thesis when he discovered that they used this song to test speakers" ... Adopted music for testing purposes, was heard again and again to the refinement of the scheme, ensuring itself that nothing would adversely affect the subtlety of Vega voice. ? And the result was that "in bit rates, where everything looked nice, the voice of Suzanne Vega sounded horrible." While the MP3 compression format is not set specifically to play the song "The Tom Diner" was not finished. Among audio engineers this story won the informal title ... "Vega - the mother of MP3". ;)

I'd like to hear a version with piano like she originally planned to have.

[@tara_nicole7]

Just heard last night on wfuv World Cafe this is absolutely brilliant and, in my opinion, better than original, love it so, I love both but I love this more, kinda mysterious and just brilliant, more unpredictable, gorgeous gem 💎✨☄️☄️🙌

[@adrianaherrera4494]

Her voice and the beat just fits perfect

[@klandersen42]

I prefer this version to the version that is played on the radio all the time that has the drum machine or whatever it is. The DNA? Version? I thought I was going crazy because I always hear the other version on the radio and not this one.

[@kitty-um8zg]

is this used at the beginning of centuries by fall out boy?

[@cante42]

Kendall Noir its used by a ton of songs, one of the most sampled songs in history

[@saika.magoichi.214]

I can't get over how beautiful the bass sounds

[@robertandrew5328]

I love this song... just sucks when your listening Susan Vega or Depeche Mode and no one your age has heard of them :/

[@generalskunk6876]

[@Gen_Warlock]

+General Skunk (The Weirdo) coming from the guy who creates a playlist with onision

[@generalskunk6876]

Handsome Jack So? I found that video entertaining and I put in a playlist. I don't see the problem

[@Gen_Warlock]

+General Skunk (The Weirdo) you're being a complete jerk to this guy. I'm just using the little things to call you out. I really can't stand onision, he made a rant on how women are treated bad because white men are ruling the world

[@clementgaud5739]

thanks for post this version

[@joytimmons]

I love this version of this song too.

[@cericj99]

I never really liked the DNA version of the song... but each has its own place in music history

[@yellowpete79]

is there a reason the last bit of lyrics is only in the acoustic version?

[@chihauhaun]

@yellowpete79 It is also in her original cappella version

[@rekt1v1]

[@alexfuentsespza8100]

nice song

[@eDumke87]

I think artistically its there to differentiate between what is happening in the present of the song and a memory of someone in the past.
