Which side is the melody on?
And which the bass?
Can you hear when they change?
And when they reverse?

Visual explanatory answer.

LOST

Lost on ABC, a pretty cool show!

I just watched the pilot of a show called Lost on ABC and it was really cool and it seems to be a really great idea for a awesome show. It's about a plane full of people that crashes on an island and was scary and there is this freaky bald dude and this hot girl and a funny fat guy and no ones getting along. Check it out I think it could end up being a bit hit! Peace.
