Red Mosquito

i always forget, was it super nintendo chalmers or simple torture that called me names and a horrible music fan because i was part of a vinyl club?

possible new physical medias for music:

1) 3D printed records with the deepest grooves possible. Coincided with a modern turntable that has a 6-inch stylus
2) A music globe... Grooves around the entire thing and plays 360-degrees of music. Can hold over 3 hours of music. Probably played with multiple lasers. Think overtone singing.
3) Music rain... a rain room where each drop of water has a note inside of it, and as they fall in sequence passed your ears, you're surrounded by a song.

Let's make these happen.

Ill put money down for option 3. That sounds beautiful.

Wasn't me, but I'll call you names if it gets you off.

I might of, but it wasn't ever intentional. I hate the idea of those clubs. But mostly because of who I envision coming up with the idea to start one up. I see a board room of venture capitalist scum looking to cash in on a fad.

If that's how you choose to spend money and find new music, I have no problem with that or you. Even though I'm convinced for a lot less money, but a little more time and effort, you can find much more interesting records.

Have you ever heard of VNYL?

Is that the netflix of dollar bin fill or the one that comes with a unique cocktail recipe?

Both sound utterly asinine to me.

It was the "Netflix-for-vinyl" thing. Read this...it's long, but somehow satisfying: http://www.stereogum.com/1801049/vnyl-s ... ses/essay/

Oh yeah. I saw that going around a few months ago.
What a mess.

I think this pinpoints the exact reasoning of a lot of rage I hold toward a lot of things

Wham! Last Christmas. My system loved it so much the fuse in my speaker blew!

Good price on that Neil Young? I'm waiting for it to drop.

That's the sticker price, I'm pretty sure. I've splurged on a few other things lately, so I've gotta be more frugal (also, I've got a baby).

Wham's all that's been spinning here today - thanks Mrs Rangi!

was trying to get Fiona Apple's "Idler Wheel" on an ebay auction for a "fair" price for a present for my wife, but got swiped at the last second

I still like that album.

Was spinning Soundgarden hits and Metallica self titled last night and it occurred to me that heavy music like that doesn't stand a chance getting mainstream exposure anymore. Sad.
