yeah all i said was that there was two releases in 2017, the so called spotify mix ( the best one ) and the o brien one and they co existed for a while in the streaming appsBirds in Hell wrote:At the risk of being a wild pedant, that's not exactly accurate, at least not as I understand it.VinylGuy wrote:yeah, they were both released on 2017 and for a while they called it like that while the other was Brendan o Brien mix.
I dont really know these days really.
To make it easier to explain, here are the three versions of the record for these purposes:
Version 1: Adam Kasper's original mix, mastered and commercially released in 2006.
Version 2: Adam Kasper's original mix but given a more dynamic mastering, uploaded to streaming services in 2017.
Version 3: Brendan O'Brien's remix, uploaded to streaming services and released on vinyl in 2017.
When Version 2 was released, it was without any fanfare and was discovered more or less by accident. Rather than being highlighted as a new mix (or 'Spotify mix' or '2017 mix'), it simply replaced Version 1 on streaming services with no indication any change had occurred. I haven't checked, but I think that's still the case for at least some streaming services (i.e. they never went back to Version 1).
When Version 3 was released, it was called '2017 Mix' (both then and now). That makes sense, because Version 2 isn't a new mix - it's just an alternative mastering of the original Version 1 mix.

Back at the frat, a guy walks in one night with a real STOP sign. They are way bigger up close than they look out on the roads.knee tunes wrote:Good ideaBammer wrote:That reminds me, I’ve been meaning to steal a real yield sign from the street corner. I’ll get on it this weekend.
Back in my college days we had quite a collection. Stop, a speed limit, various street name signs, RR crossing. Never had a yield, tho. And yes, they’re quite large.Bammer wrote:Back at the frat, a guy walks in one night with a real STOP sign.

What I’m more likely to do actually is put up fake speed limit signs way lower than the actual speed limit. My street is 25. I’m gonna replace with 10.bodysnatcher wrote:Bammer stealing a yield sign then getting sued by a driver who gets in a wreck bc they didn’t know to yield seems quite poetic
