there is something really nice about a REALLY well mixed, mastered, and pressed record. bossa nova just hits different, for instance.
some of you seriously concern me
i remember like almost 10 years ago on tumblr, i was posting dumb tfw no gf #sadboys stuff, and this random girl from russia messaged me “okay i’ll bite,” and that frightened me for some reason, and i began to make more friends in school.
the day nvidia stops allowing you to download drivers without their shitty nvidia geforce experience app, is the day i start intentionally starting brush fires in california
if you want to be an intellectual or a thinker, accomplish 2 things first:
1. don’t get high on your own supply/stop sniffing your own farts

Anonymous asked:
I want to get a turntable, but I have been looking more into cassettes players as well, should I get one instead?
it’s frankly the most inexpensive way to get into the scene, honestly. i got my Technics for $40 on ebay of all places, and used cassettes are almost always below $5. i think the more important consideration, though, is understanding you will need a receiver and speakers or active speakers, which are both whole cans of worms on their own, unless you get a deck that can take the typical headphones output (which mine can, funny enough).
vinyl has gotten fucking out of control post-covid. unimpressive vintage turntables that were considered budget options when they were released going for hundreds online for no reason. if i was getting into vinyl today, i’d look into new stuff because the real deals are hard to find nowadays, but that would defeat the purpose if you wanted a strictly vintage setup.
