  • of course it is super expensive and collectable and shit because i guess death grips is the official band of pitchfork types who take it too seriously because they think it's deep because polyrhythms and marching band samples and 90s dnb synth noises are deep or something

    Cassette version, lol.
    yeah The Money Store is a pretty technically competent drawing, I like that part. Just mildly disturbing for my milquetoast self.

    Having Death Grips cut into one's chest does not sound like fun to me. (it could be a tattoo??)
  • did i spell that wrong? if so it's like 2 in the morning and you are expecting too much of me
  • Ich bin ein jelly doughnut
    No no, just amused that someone would actually make a cassette these days. It's like record-collecting without the audio-quality excuse.
  • cassettes are fun and not too expensive

    plus they run down and get more distorted with time so that's way cooler than vinyl

    are you kidding people love cassettes

    I love cassettes, I think they're cool.

    They're less expensive than vinyl and still give you the satisfaction of having a physical object.

    Lots of Bandcamp acts produce cassettes because they're extremely cheap to press. 

    Off the top of my head Lil Ugly Mane's Mista Thug Isolation and Luxury Elite & St. Pepsi's Late Night Delight are two albums you can buy off of bandcamp in cassette format.

    all the tapes I have are old though. I have Yello's debut album (the one without "Oh Yeah" on it), a compilation of faux-Hawaiian music from an old radio show, a Doors bootleg, and some other stuff.
  • basically fuck vinyl if you want audio quality buy flac ya damn nerds
  • Records are another thing that are just cool to own, plus you can scratch with them.

    That said they're also more expensive than cassettes by a considerable margin.
  • fave cassettes

    * something from vangelis

    * the dark side of the moon

    * this rando local comedy act from the 70s
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    honestly i didn't know cassettes were still going, outside a retro/collectible thing

    they make me feel kinda nostalgic
  • tbf when I get a job and after I buy this and maybe a custom cap I am probably gonna start buying more cassettes.

    I think you can get Camp Lo's new album on cassette.

    Well, I would figure damage over time would be a bad thing. :v Also, the cheapness is offset by the collectable thing, innit. (

    I like getting physical stuff too, of course. I just usually do FLAC stuff when it comes to simply Getting Music.
  • that is caused by pitchfork peeps being lame it's not a problem with the format
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i switched to getting everything in flac a while back and then at one point i realized that most of my memory was being taken up by my music library ^_^;

    actually i thought even CDs were on the way out at this point, except as a promotional thing to sell at live gigs

    CDs are arguably going to be more out than cassettes and records in a few years.

    There's nothing particularly special about them. It's like collecting DATs or minidisks.

    when i get money

    well im buying tickets to see vash again

    but then also there is other stuff im gonna get, zines and pins and band shirts and stuff because i can buy band shirts now cuz im at a weight im comfortable with yaaaaaaaay
  • also I'm one of those people that actually generally prefers lower fidelity especially in music that makes heavy use of sampling.

    FLAC quality on rap releases doesn't mean shit if the beats are all made of stuff sampled from records from the 70s.

    Well, I wouldn't imagine vinyls are exceptionally valuable in and of themselves either. So long as cassettes are some novelty thing they're gonna still be expensive, no?

    FLAC files are pretty big. I have lots of local storage though it is reasonably demanding on my ancient laptop. Partially Mountain Lion's fault, though. :\
  • im content with 320 kbps mp3s
  • while I'm thinking about it can peeps listen to Lottery Loops and tell me if it's just me that thinks the drums sound weird

    they sounded fine in FL but when I exported them the actual MP3 sounded strange, and I sampled those from a track from a Dusty Fingers comp so it's not like I was sampling something super hi-fi.
  • also if u are a samplist of any stripe and wanna be original just sample the shit out of ripped Youtube videos

    the only other guy who does that is Party Supplies and he's trying to become a rock singer now or something.

    really?

    disclaimer that idk what i'm talking about but i find it kind of hard to picture this happening

    i have a CD collection, i like how they're more durable than vinyl (i am actually terrified about handling old vinyls) and don't deteriorate at the rate cassettes do

    but maybe i'm a sucker

    it's the album Late Night Delight by Luxury Elite & Saint Pepsi. afaik the "Mack The Knife" parody they used for those commercials isn't sampled anywhere on there. It's a vaporwave album. Same one "Enjoy Yourself" is from.

    I might myself be wrong I just don't think there's anything interesting about CDs and as people backing up their data becomes more common I think you'll see people not using CDs as much anymore.
  • Hachimitsu private academy was an elite all-girls boarding highschool
    known for its strict rules. The school recently turned co-ed and has
    started by admitting five boys. There are over thousand female students
    in the academy, which at first seemed exciting to the boys but none of
    the female students want to talk to them. Which is for good reason as
    unbeknownst to the five, the underground student council has forbidden
    female students to associate with the boys.

    oh it's from that thing, eugh.

    alright maybe it's just me then.

    I've ruined tracks by fucking with the percussion too much before so I'll just leave it be unless I wanna change something else about it.

  • I have had fun making this beat tape so far (considering Drums Like Rums as a title. People love intentional corniness in beat tape titles).

    I really want to get someone to rap over it, or at least parts of it.
  • We can do anything if we do it together.
    naney said:

    Same here.

    I wouldn't mind having a vinyl collection if I'm ever in the position of having enough money to buy a decent record player. I don't get the appeal of downloading and listening to vinyl rips on the computer, though.

    maybe CDs are like BT's KX series of phone kiosks

    no hold on i'm not just mentioning them for the sake of talking about payphones hear me out

    the old GPO and Post Office kiosks are cassettes and vinyl in this analogy

    they're going to stick around for a while, they're iconic, when BT wants to withdraw funding for a K6 kiosk very often local communities step up to fund it

    K8s didn't used to have this protection, but then people noticed they were disappearing fast and there was a big scheme to save them because they are an award-winning art deco design, so again, it's about history and nostalgia

    the KX series, though, they were designed to be functional and unobtrusive

    for the moment there are still a fair few of them about, but i just don't see any big save-the-KXs movement gaining any traction

    most people think of them, if they think of them at all, as ugly things that replaced the more appealing red kiosks

    i too am sick of japanese not-porn porn. but it's so pretty i'm almost tempted.

    i'll just look at this guy's other work.

    edit: oops these all suck. the Blues one looks cool but it got discontinued. Fucking hell.

    there's some violence and sadomasochism in that prison-school-thing, but that's all I'm aware of.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    a pity
  • the guy's other notable manga is about Robert Johnson so he's nothing if not diverse.

    but also

    if you're going to write porn

    just

    write

    porn

    it's not like there's even a rule against great screencaps from pornography.

    ecchi
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i meant besides ecchi
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    but real talk that's the problem i have with like 95% of fanservice/ecchi scenes in anime

    it pretends to be general entertainment, but obviously wants to be porn

    it's neither one nor the other
  • *shrug*

    it's one of those things that I just kind of roll with as part of the medium.

    that doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer it if they stopped, I would, but they probably won't.

    anyway I'm going to bed now.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    admittedly, mostly i just find it kind of embarrassing if i'm watching something with my brother or my parents are about and something ecchi happens in what's ostensibly not an ecchi series

    good night
