'Serenity'


Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I can't even.

Yeah, I saw that guy's offering when I bought the LP. Craxy pricing, man. Oh well, I'll guess I'll have to go scouring the used cd places around town. Life is harsh. Still, if anyone sees one in their travels, please zap me E. I'd like one for my sister who was in RSA back in the 80's when Johnny was big.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ah damn.

John, why don't you just make a CD out of the LP?

jimi, I may end up doing that, but I'm wondering, wouldn't there be a significant difference in sound quality, if the cd was digitally re-mastered?

Hayden, Smile will be played/profiled today on Soundcheck. Or maybe tomorrow. The website doesn't mention, and yesterday I thought they said it was going to be on Friday, but it was just announced as today. So if you have internet access at 2 Eastern today tune in... I mean "log on".

DX and others are better suited to talk about the technical aspect of audio stuff but I can talk from the POV of a cloth-eared goon.

Analog LPs are considered to have superior audio quality to digital CDs. If this weren't true, then we wouldn't now have a "competition" between DVD-Audio and SACD. It's just a shame that the Laser Turntable never managed to get mass-produced before CDs took over from LPs.

So anyway, if you have a decent sound-card and a decent stereo and you just burn the raw .wav files, then the quality of the CD you create, should be more than fine to listen to regularly. At the very least, it should be just as good as if you'd put it on a tape but with the convenience of a CD.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Heh. The Lothars just got an email from a French journalist looking for a promo CD. Among the bullet points, included to convince me he has cred, is the following: "I've also contributed to Kim Cooper forthcoming book: Lost in the grooves".
