water , oxygen and sunlight
the three things that sustain organic life

is it any wonder it kills this man made crap?

(I am thinking in terms of the factory-would you wanna work at a chemical plant???- even one that made CDs?)

I was talking to an optician one time when I got glasses and he said they never could get plastic manufacturers to make plastic that was really good enough quality for eyeglasses until after the advent of CDs (and the large increase in volume of plastic produced) that required great optical quality.

I have them on CD, LP and Tape! Cool

No 8-Track though! Shocked

i go away for a few days, and... Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
wow- so many replies. Thanks for the nod, Tim. I'll take mp3's if that's all that's available- thank you to whomever offered this- anything is appreciated. To answer the tech questions:

-Yes, I've tried this in multiple computers, cd players, dvd players. I, too, have salvaged cd's before by ripping and burning them- but when I rip this, it rips the "skipping" along with the track, so that the ripped files are just as bad, which is what leads me to believe it's not a scratch (a scratch would give a read error from the computer. This computer reads the disc just fine, warts and all. It just happens to have a lot of warts.)

-I have always stored my records & cd's in as cool, dry place as possible, but I do live in New York City, and it gets mighty humid in August around here. Still, it's not THAT humid that cd's should be oxidizing. The cd's are pretty well taken care of (not that we don't all have accidents.) As much as I care for what I own, it is, after all, just material goods and I'm not one to go overboard on protecting my stuff; in the end, we're all dust anyway (even our precious DA albums.) I think there was a Jack Chick comic along these lines, showing how material goods won't last. Ah, Jack Chick...

-I'm pretty tech savvy, but no expert on cd-media... but I have read/heard that cd's are nowhere near the archival quality that the manufacturers trumpet. I don't expect any of these cd's to be working still in 50 years... even if they technically are ok, I doubt we'll have any machines that still read them. But hey, that's another discussion.

-And finally, I personally prefer records to cd's- their sound quality is superior, even if they are less practical. They have a big, warm, sweet interior sound that digital hasn't reached (yet). But that's yet another discussion, so I'll shut up now.

thanks again, and if Daniel Amos ever feels like making it over to New York (what's so great about the west coast, anyway?) they'll always have a place to stay.

I live in Queens, work in Manhattan (freelance work, so it's actually all over the place.) I love it! Lots of crazy people all over; very alive. I did catch the Lost Dogs 4 years ago, when I first moved here. They played at a local church and we had the opportunity to film them. Being new to the city, I had a lot of free time and cut together this little live video, which you guys might have already seen, but what the hell:

http://foolfactory.com/haus/ximix.html

in case anyone hasn't.

But man, what I wouldn't give to see any incarnation / permutation of the band...

um, why did the word "c-r-a-z-y" get replaced with "beeheaded"? Color me confused. I'm going to try typing it 3 times:

crazy crazy crazy

Those audiori brothers automatically replace some words unless you know how to get around it. They are poopyheads.

That little movie of yours is AWESOME - thanks for sharing that. Good song.............

JimINy, who is my real-life brother, and I have a niece who lives in the New York area - we visited her 3 years ago. It was quite a trip for us MN folks to visit The Big Apple...............want to go back again!
