vinyl is too, isn't it? it's just the aesthetic of the experience is so pleasant that it's worth it -- the big alum art, all the lyric sheets/etc, visually seeing time progress as the record plays, the distorted quality which actually sounds good to our ears, etc

Rami, my friend, someone is working on this, do not despair.

You are a great fan, dude. You've seen it all for what it is. (Even for how young you are.)

I appreciate your enthusiasm for the music.

Take it easy. Smoke a joint.
Put on a cassette transfer (or live show) and drift away.

Remember that the beauty and worth you put into this world should be because you, yourself are adding to it, because you've got so much to add.

To take away from that...why?

Art is of some worth no matter who's choosing.

I used to make "road copies" as well.

The best way to export is whatever the outputs are on your deck, it needs to be a cord that goes into the in of your computer's sound card.

Back in the day, the sound card was something you had to install with a screwdriver into the back of your computer.

Saying you've got this part figured out: whether you have a pc/mac you need something to record audio, like audacity. Your source needs to be the input from your soundcard.

So if you have a usb soundcard (more expensive the better) your tape player needs to go to that input, then you select that in your recording software...press play and record.

Then save. Then edit and mess around with making it sound better or worse.

It's a lot of work.

And you've to sit and wait for it all to play / record, in real time. Remember high speed dubbing? You could copy tapes in half the time!

My deck didn't have high speed dubbing. And I think that gave less sound quality anyway.

Looks like there will be no release of the Arising Tour material on the Machina reissues, not even in audio format.

With Bandcamp, Billy could easily deliver archive releases on a regular basis. He's probably waiting to drop them when he suckers all the old fans who gave up back with his Machina reissue and Mellon Collie sequel album. Billy's gonna go with the nostalgia. It would be odd to release them now with Cyr. It can't live up to the older stuff.

Oh snap. It’s “nitrate dawn to air.” I don’t think anyone ever got that right when transcribing those lyrics.

I wonder if he has the original lyric sheets for the the rest of the M2 stuff. There’s a lot of unintelligible stuff from that album that would be cool to finally get official words for, and not some faulty memory of his, like the errors the Pisces reissue lyric booklet had.

Add Vanity, Home, Speed Killz (HEAVY), and BSBT (Arising) and you have a perfect album.
surprisingly good picks from a fool! i'd replace a couple in the "honorable mentions" category for my own personal liste but BSBT Arising would certainly stay

This is the most important thing he's said yet, acknowledging that fucking around too much is a temptation and should be resisted

I suppose it remains to be seen how well he'll do so

yes you should certainly feel bad about leaving those off, no doubt

"Go" may be my favorite James Pumpkins song of them all, really

Good list, I would nominate Atom Bomb + Untitled + Cash Car Star (Saturnine too but doesn't fit with this list imo.)
