  1. CW: Grotesque metal album covers

    Getting back into CDs got me browsing online thrift stores, my local flea market and of course ebay, but one of the weirdest purchases was a "surprise box liquidation" of 10 death/black metal albums (actually 12 were included) for just 12 euros.

    I was kind of expecting to get scammed, but the reviews were positive, and then the package arrived with what's on the picture.

  5. Bookstores with music sections used to have listening stations. In the CD era, you would pick up the packaged CD, put on the headphones and put the item under a barcode scanner which would then start playing the album on the headphones. I wonder if there is an app for that, now. It would be handy to scan barcodes with your phone camera and hear a CD before you bought it, since I haven't seen a store with a proper listening station in ages.

  7. I've enjoyed a lot of bands, thousands of them, over the years. What do I go back to?

    Aside: I had over 1000 albums saved in Spotify, when I was using that, but I lost that list when I left the service. Before you jump down my throat, I own like 200+ albums on bandcamp because I like to support artists, and 200 or so CDs and a small, but growing selection of cassette tapes.

    Answer: In decreasing order: #cassettes > #CDs > old #mp3 collection > #bandcamp purchases > #streaming.

  9. The recent resurgence in popularity of CDs will inevitably drive up prices, but not before I managed to snag three of the best albums of the 00s for just a couple of quid each.

  15. When did the casette tape appear anyway?

    I mean I could just look on wikipedia but I'm just not going to do that. Instead I'm going to post it here.

    I've always known cassette tapes. They've always existed in my universe.

    But there was a time when they didn't exist and I assume the 60s didn't have them, so I would guess that cassettes arrived in the late 70s.

    That's my guess. Then the Walkman appeared in the 80s or something.

    I've got a kind of Tomorrow's World memory that CDs were invented in the 70s.

    Maybe I'm wrong. idk.

  19. It’s that time of year where I have to starting culling down some of my music library; whether it be vinyl, CDs, or anything else.

    Now that this awful summer flu I had seems to be gone, I can start. And everything starts in the basement.

    I’m going to start with the CDs first because believe me, it’s going to be the easiest.

    All of the CDs that were down there have now been brought upstairs, and added to what’s already been up here.

    These represent the NON-boxset discs, and have (with the exception of about 30 CDs) all been alphabetized to make this process easier.

    I notice right away that there are doubles of a few things, as well as some things I no longer have a need to own.

    All the box sets are staying put, so once I’m done with THESE, it’s time for the true nightmare of dealing with the vinyl.

  21. Podcast: Would You Go Back to a Time Before #Smartphones If You Could?

    Turns out, looking back is also about looking forward.

    By Julie Beck and Natalie Brennan, July 27, 2026

    "Back in the ’90s, before everyone had a #smartphone, were things just … better? Tech-focused #nostalgia has become a potent cultural force in recent years, driving sales of '#dumbphones,' #iPods, #CDs, and other #RetroTechnology. According to a 2023 survey, 67 percent of Americans wish they could go back to a time 'before everyone was ‘plugged in.’ '

    "The psychologist behind that survey, Clay Routledge, has found that this sort of nostalgia is more than just a yearning to go backwards. 'We can often feel overwhelmed in the moment and in the challenges we face today. It's hard to see past them. #Nostalgia can help us step outside of that moment,' Routledge explains. Nostalgia can actually teach us how we want to live now, and in the future."

  23. I'm listening to a Clash CD (The Singles, bought it for one dollar a few weeks back), and this is much ... clearer? ... than my CD of London Calling? As in, all of the vocals and instruments are much more distinct. Sounds terrific.

    Is this just the result of better remastering from the original recordings? Something else?

  27. JACK MUDURIAN
    Downloading The Repertoire
    1996 U.S. CD issue

    Truly one of the batshit craziest discoveries I’ve had in a long while.

    Recorded in the Summer of 1981, Jack Mudurian was an older man who lived at the Duplex Nursing Home in #boston Ma.
    He claimed to have a repertoire of 'almost as many songs as Sinatra'.

    So, someone recorded him with a cassette recorder on the Duplex porch… UNINTERRUPTED.

    Seriously.
    UNINTERRUPTED.

    For 47 minutes straight, Jack unleashes a truly bizarre stream-of-consciousness hellfire.

    It sounds like an unmedicated retiree having the world’s greatest stroke.
    It’s incredible.

    It’s wild listening to this craziness, with no breaths, & see the numbers on the track counter advance, with no real line of delineation.

    Birds are singing, other elders are heard singing in the background…
    It’s insane.

    This might be the greatest recording of all time.

  29. KING CRIMSON
    Frame By Frame (The Essential King Crimson)
    1991 U.S. 4xCD Box Set

    The last of the really cool CD acquisitions from yesterday, and it was so reasonably priced, I couldn’t leave without it.

    A pretty comprehensive oral history of King Crimson; 3 discs of compiled album tracks from every period, with a 4th disc of live recordings the same.

    The book is SUPER COOL, but for me, it takes a backseat to the awesome (and complete) King Crimson family tree, drawn by Hideyo Itoh.
    That alone is a cool art piece and suitable for framing.

    I love EVERY era and EVERY iteration and lineup of King Crimson, but this morning, I’m starting with the ‘81-84 Disc #3 (the “Discipline” era), a run only touched by the original ‘69-71 run.
    Fripp, Belew, Levin & Bruford are magic together.

  31. VARIOUS ARTISTS
    Musik Music Musique 1979 (The Roots Of Synth Pop)
    2026 UK 3xCD Box Set

    I had ordered this a bunch of months ago, and had completely forgotten about it.
    It finally arrived at my local shop today, and I couldn’t be more pleased.

    I’ve bought A LOT of these fantastic Cherry Red multi-disc boxes this year, and this might be my favorite one yet.

    This is a bit of a prequel to their Musik Music Musique series that dove deep into the important and pivotal synth pop of the early #80s .

    THIS one focuses on 1979, when underground electronic pop STARTED to become a legitimate (and sellable) genre of music.

    It’s an incredible buffet of multiple genres that would merge to create the stuff the #80s collection explored.
    #postpunk , #prog , #experimental #synth music and yes, even #disco.

    Just look at that incredible tracklist, man.
    Well known hits AND obscure gems.

  33. SCREAMING TREES
    Invisible Lantern
    1988 U.S. CD 💿 issue

    Awesome little find today!

    As much as I love the #90s Trees output (and I do LOVE IT), the major label money and production value made them a bit of a different band in comparison to the earlier SST albums like this one.

    Their earlier records lean more into hazy & heavy #psychedelic #garage rock than the #grunge -a-riffic albums from the halcyon 90s alternative days.

    I don’t see a lot of these early SST Trees albums lying around on CD, nevermind vinyl.

    It’s a bit of a shock to hear Lanegan’s vocals on these albums if all you’re familiar with is the deep, gravelly voice from their heyday.
    Here, his voice is much higher-pitched, and perhaps not yet affected by a lifelong journey into drugs.

    A pretty great album, with one of my all time favorite Trees tunes in “Smokerings”.
