Hello, everybody. I was just contemplating what a Failure Scale would look like. For example, a 1.0 would be breaking a shoelace and 10.0 would be "I just caused WWIII." Need to have a web site like www.rateafailure.com to keep track of failures.

back in the dark ages before the internet, I remember going over to this dude's house just to tape records from his collection - he was my roommates classmate, some rich kid who brought tons of records home from frequent trips overseas.
I remember taping Buzzcock's SIngles Going Steady and the tape ran out towards the end of this song. I still expect this song to sudden flutter out.

Rich in Washington:

@coelacanth: and it was the only portable way to listen to music. I think up until fairly recently, I would tape a record and maybe never listen to the record itself again until I needed to tape it again for some reason.
Also, there is this meme going around with younger people that cassettes 'sounded terrible' - which is why 'no one listens to them anymore'. Pure hogwash.

Rich that's just what i did. some of those tapes from the 80s have never failed and i've yet to play the record again since then!

...people are just wrong!
there was a producer interviewed on fmu recently who engineered the ramones' first album and they did a back-to-back comparison on air - the original record & the remastered cd. he said (since he's the remasterer) he liked the new one better. "...the snare snaps"!
BULLSHIT! it sounded like crap compared to the original.

...occasionally remastered is better, but usually not. after trying brand new vinyls,i ultimately was happy with remastered cds of some albums that were poorly produced originally. (love it to death; layla & other love songs; plastic surgery disasters, ie)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:53pm
Guido from Cologne:

I think the Calbi interviews (I recommend the first one) teach a lot

Calbi explains how the original tapes suffer if not stored professionally and that in many cases the original mint vinyl is the best source. Thus re-mastering often is necessary to get an aged master back to live.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:54pm
coelacanth:

right, Ken. it was a good interview, but i don't agree with him about sound.
- why do some people think everything should be crisp and snappy? an album like "ramones" loses its guts then.

the 70s in suburbia were not amazing. with a graduating class of >200, there were only about 8 people who would admit to liking punkrock. the popular kids liked southern rock, and related dogshit, like the eagles and jefferson starship.
...and then punkrock turned to shit too, for the most part. by '85 i'd disconnected almost entirely.

I stayed in a suburb in '78 and decided I either wanted to be in a big city or smaller town. Too far to walk places. In my small town we could swim and bike, in the city there was plenty of stuff to do. Suburbs all I remember was waiting for rides because there were so few sidewalks.
