Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

Exception to the rule was any 80s music with an overblown yet nuanced production style, ala Def Leppard. Nothing less than 320 does Hysteria justice.

... And Justice for All is a 64kb rip any day of the week.

Nothing is optimized at 64kbps edgie.. you'd get better results from recording a LP to a c60 cassette with a hand held mic.

Currently listening to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son at 64 and loving.

Living on a razors edge, balancing on the edge, ya know? Ya knoooow?!

Fosters, AC/DC Shiraz & a 64kb Music Collection.. it does make sense

A man who strives to have the worst of everything, including haircut.

I also record my own music on a discontinued model 8 track.

People may not necessary agree with edgie's lifestyle, but he seems like a man who is happy and enjoys life.
My own life has been rather dull lately, I might just convert my library to 64kbps, and join edgieism.

 

[edgie]

A bloke just came in to work and complemented me on the music. He didn't even care it was 64. We then dissected the album Countdown to Extinction. Classic album.

 

[Magus]

I find edgie fascinating.

He knows we are just ribbing him & I've basically just admitted to being an uber nerd so i think it's even

Do it Stu, you'll be able to fit 4 times as many songs on whatever portable device you carry with you.

You could even the the saved space to put a movie on there, but you shouldn't because that would be the worst.

I'm listening to am broadcast songs that I copied onto cassette tape.

New hipster stuff dudes

Now that's something we both can agree on.

 

[Contested Marx]

I remember someone at work using kazaa to download a movie to a postage stamp size resolution.

It was terrific

Nothing inherently "hipster" about cassette's. There was a time when these were a perfectly viable format, some bands releasing cassette only demo's. Umbrella Music (an Adelaide shop of times past) had a wall of such cassette's. Also, cassette's were a simple way of trading music (via classified ads in fanzines) with people at all points of the globe. Viva la cassette!!

My first car had a tapedeck only, so I used to "rip" cd's to cassette.

Only later did I realise that it was playing at 75% speed because it was crap and all my cd's then sounded too fast, like that fatboy slim song, made me feel sick

They are hipster because they are totally unnecessary. Yet gloriously fun.

This piece of Aussie brilliance was originally released on cassette only in 1985. Viva cassettes!!

I used to write away to bands for a t-shirt or whatever. They'd pretty much always throw in a cassette full of their demos and stuff like that. Loved 'em.

 

[edgie]

What sound system should I put in the HQ when the time and need arises? Thinking of upgrading from 18 to 22 transistors.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

CD's are almost as antiquated now, I have a 4 track tascam portastudio that uses cassettes I've kept it for the mere analog aspect & recording backwards etc.

Would fetch more than a digital 8 track I have if I were to sell it
