What is happening to me?

Bring back the wire recorder

What is wrong with the phonautogram or the Ediphone?

When I started my 'career' in broadcasting, one of the first bits of equipment I saw was a wire recorder. It wasn't in operational use, but could still turn. Huge scary reels of what looked like an industrial sawing machine.

Sawing or sewing??

Sawing, definitely sawing. Like one of those things you see in an American log yard in the movies, the type were someone always inserts a body part (not always their own)

I should think sticking your own in is pretty odd behaviour, even for an American.

Well, perhaps not intentionally

You mean a "band saw"? Like an outside belt drive, only with a metal saw blade instead of a rubber belt?

 

And, on the subject of "when I started my career", I started in a room that really was like the computer room in "The Italian Job" with lots of magnetic tape drives!

Sort of a horizontal one without the teeth

I've found myself going soft recently as well, I'm not sure I like it...

That said, in my CD changer I currently have Black Tide, Machine Head, Lamb of God and 36 Crazyfists, so I'm not going too soft.

Sure you're not mistaking a long suffering husband?

See, that just sounds like a tape drive (well possibly a cartridge like, say, 8-track rather than plain reel to reel).

I just tell my personal lute player what I want playing.........nothing like a "live" performance................. :p

 

 

..............seriously I'm currently ripping (semi-professionally) my cd's as Flac to a hard drive for use on my (Denon) network player, thing is, that's only 16bit/44khz......... :S

 

.......I have managed to get some downloads (of certain albums) of studio master flac files at 24bit/192khz.........  ....oh yeah, now that's "live"!!!!

For some reason I can't stop watching this video. For the life in me I can't figure out why.

Don't like the song but I can't stop watching it either...
