well, it wasn't stupid, but it certainly was the most weird & most depressing...
for a living, I restore old / bad recordings, usually because some-company-or-other wants to re-release them again
once I had to restore the recording of a.... memorial service
somebody from the recording industry had died unexpectedly, and not all of his collegues could make it to the memorial service, so they decided to tape it... only somebody had botched the microphone placement, so it was hardly audible what people had said
after "restoring" this "recording", I was so thoroughly depressed, I couldn't get any other work done for the rest of the day
