Oh god, damn it, that guy got the spot I wanted.
It's just never been anything like that.
It's just never been anything like putting that needle in the groove in the first part of the record,
and hearing that sound start up.
It's nothing quite like it.
The only really tangible format you know that retains any type of value.
The literal value of it is true and authentic.
Well for me it's more fun to listen to.
Immediately she said, hey they just sound better.
It sounds better, and I think it sounds better.
It sounds more warm, it sounds more real.
You get like the analog experience is much warmer than what you hear from a digital format.
It's probably one of the few formats that musicals like very interact with or interact with in order to listen to it.
There's nothing like putting the needle in the groove of a record.
Maybe it's like nostalgia.
It's also one of the only formats that actually retains any type of monetary value.
Digital realms I think that it's wonderful for archival purposes to be able to have access to so much content.
But in the end, if hard drives fail and if CDs information dissipates over time, then the value is completely gone and lost.
You know just sitting there and listening to the whole thing and sort of thinking about it as a whole piece of work rather than just what's all at a time or something like that.
And do you feel like this is like a very common thing between a lot of people?
Take that.
Yeah, I think people are trying to go back to that and listening to the whole album and sitting there and thinking about it rather than just taking off signals and thinking about it.
A record I once had about 5,000 albums.
Do you feel accomplished by actually having that collection of business?
Yeah, somewhat. I mean, it can seem sort of shallow, but I guess it does like scratch a ditch.
You know, can we do it?
Shit, we're doing an interview. Can we wait 5 seconds?
Anyway.
Bill Collins, no jacket required. This is some crucial 80s right here.
Physical versus digital. Two o'clock, Brenda's got a baby and people love the classic single.
You want a physical copy because it's with you. It's not like in the clouds somewhere.
Some monoliths of dimensions.
It's not on a hard drive that's going to die. It's not stored on the internet where like if your internet goes down you can't do it, you know what I mean?
Fold that shit open.
Wow.
Check it out. There's the record right here.
Damn. That's cool.
Alright here, this is one of my favorite records. This is from my dad.
This is Dead or Alive, the third and final record from Trout and Gristle.
Right.
I picked up one of my favorite hardcore records, Trout Under Rhine's Big Tits Good Night.
And when I actually heard that, when I finally heard that on vinyl, that was so cool because it had so much more depth to it than just listening to it on my headphones.
It was tight. I wish I could do it without like first time experience again. Real fun.
That was so cool.
Music used to be the activity, you know? You would sit down with your album and you'd buy it and you'd take it out of the sleeve and you'd stare at the cover and you'd read the lyrics while you listened to it.
And that was the activity.
It's something, there's this appeal of what it was versus what it is now. I have a lot of trouble accepting kind of like the new age of technology, digital everything, internet everything.
Everything's a screen in front of your face. It kind of pains me. It's like digital is cool, but there's something just very special.
I don't know about actually being able to hold your music records.
It was just some of the newer stuff coming out.
There's just so much more detail that you can pick up, especially when you're running through some nice speakers.
Like that's where the production like really shines.
You can appreciate like a lot of the work that bands and like producers put into their music.
It's just, it's incredible. Like you can just pick up on so many little touches and effects that which you would never hear on digital.
That's cool. That's cool that there's still a demand after all this time.
When it comes down to it, just this analog format, just like, it sounds so much better at the end of the day.
Damn, turn up.
