AGAINST ME!: Transgender Dysphoria Blues
Your tells are so obvious
Shoulders too broad for a girl
Keeps you reminded
Helps you to remember where
You come from
You want them to notice
The ragged ends of your summer dress
You want them to see you
Like they see any other girl
They just see a faggot
They hold their breath not to catch the sick
Rough surf on the coast,
Wish I could have spent the
Whole day alone with you
You've got no cunt in your strut
You've got no hips to shake
And you know it's obvious
But we can't choose how we're made
Shoulders too broad for a girl
Keeps you reminded
Helps you to remember where
You come from
You want them to notice
The ragged ends of your summer dress
You want them to see you
Like they see any other girl
They just see a faggot
They hold their breath not to catch the sick
Rough surf on the coast,
Wish I could have spent the
Whole day alone with you
You've got no cunt in your strut
You've got no hips to shake
And you know it's obvious
But we can't choose how we're made

Kind of a strange band where shoegaze and post rock meet black metal... still fascinating even if any of those is not my favourite genre...

NIN
I had the chance to watch NIN live in Barcelona a few weeks ago. It is a pity that they did not bring the screen system they use in their last tour. Even thought it was pretty impressive the energy that they still have. Here you can see a video from their concert in Japan. The version that they do of Sanctified (second song) it is pure erotism.
LANA DEL REY: Shades Of Cool
She is back with another album (Ultraviolence) and this time is having very good reviews from most of specialized media.
This song in particular has some classic sound that reminds me to Richard Hawley & Portishead.

Does Vinyl Really Sound Better?
Very interesting article that finally gives answer to one of the most enigmatic mysteries of the universe.... Does Vinyl Really Sound Better?
"All my
evidence is anecdotal, but I'm continually surprised by how little people who
are under 30 understand about the nature of sound. As consumer electronics
have done a better job keeping the details of music reproduction "under
the hood" (especially with iPods and laptops), many listeners have lost
contact with how the music goes from its source (digital files or analog LPs)
to actual sound moving through the air. Does it matter? Not at all. I don't see
people enjoying music any less. But for someone who has long been interested in
the nitty gritty of sound, the changes are worth noting.
As a
high-end-audio-obsessed teenager growing up in the 1980s, I regularly read
magazines likeStereophile and Audio. It was near
the beginning of the CD era, and these publications were grappling with a big
question: Do CD players really sound different? If you're talking turntables
and cartridges-- devices meant to extract sound from tiny grooves and which
involve a tremendous amount of physics-- it made perfect sense that two set-ups
would produce noticeably different results. But hi-fi magazines had trouble
with CD players because when two machines are extracting the same patterns of
1s and 0s, there was a real question of whether they could be distinguished.
One thing
that was not in question, especially in the early days, is
that CDs sounded better than LPs. Hi-fi magazines, especially then, were
notorious for their number-crunching. Reviews of gear would include graphs that
showed the frequency range of the sounds produced, measurements of things like
channel separation (how much the information from the two stereo channels could
be kept isolated from each other), signal-to-noise ratio, and dynamic range
(the difference between the softest and loudest sounds the source was capable
of reproducing). And every possible measurement of the sounds-- which are,
after all, vibrations in the air that are quantifiable-- suggested that CDs
were superior to LPs. There were still some holdouts, especially among those
who had spent thousands of dollars on turntables, but the consensus was that
CDs had gone a long way toward "solving" sound.
Of course,
when you listen in on casual discussions of sound in 2013, you often hear that
"LPs are back" because they "sound better." This has
happened, in part, because "digital audio" is now considered as a
monolith. In the time that the dominance of CDs started to erode around the
turn of the millennium, we've come to understand the wide range of how mp3s can
sound-- how cymbals on a circa-2002 128k mp3 sound like a pixelated
wash compared to a 320k mp3, for example. But since these low-quality
files were thrust upon people in the name of convenience and file size, certain
associations regarding digital audio as a whole began to develop among a subset
of record connoisseurs. For some, "mp3s are cheap and bad" turned
into "digital audio is cheap and bad compared to LPs."
One of the
often overlooked facts about LP reproduction is that some people prefer it
because it introduces distortion. The "warmth" that many people
associate with LPs can generally be described as a bass sound that is less
accurate. Reproducing bass on vinyl is a serious engineering challenge, but the
upshot is that there's a lot of filtering and signal processing happening to
make the bass on vinyl work. You take some of this signal processing, add
additional vibrations and distortions generated by a poorly manufactured
turntable, and you end up with bass that sounds "warmer" than a CD,
maybe-- but also very different than what the artists were hearing in the
control room.
There is a strong
suspicion in
the audiophile community that LP reissues are commonly mastered from a CD
source. What this means is that, instead of traveling to a record label's tape
vault, finding the original master tapes and a machine that can play them, and
going through the painstaking and expensive process of transferring that tape
to a mastering disc in order to press LPs, the starting point is actually a CD.
And the LP pressing is essentially an inferior copy of that CD. In these cases,
the "warmth" you associate with the vinyl record is completely up to
the distortions added by the playback process.
Is this a
terrible thing? Not at all. For one, a properly mastered CD is still capable of
very good sound quality. But the other part of it is that the experience of
listening to an LP involves a lot more than remastering and sound sources.
There's the act of putting a record on, there is the comforting surface noise,
there is the fact that LPs are beautiful objects and CDs have always looked
like plastic office supplies. So enjoying what an LP has to offer is in no way
contingent on convincing yourself that they necessarily sound better than CDs.
Few
aesthetic experiences are as subjective as sound. When an iPhone has a retina
display with more pixels per inch, you notice it. But what we desire in sound
is much more of an individual thing. Some people want "accuracy" and
some people want a lot of bass; some people only care that it's loud
enough. Plus, we're very good at fooling ourselves when it comes to making
distinctions between sounds. At this point, you have your computer or your
mp3 player/smart phone, you plug headphones into these devices, and you listen
to what comes out. The tangle of variables behind a vintage stereo system has
largely been boiled down to: What kind of headphones am I using? The small
differences between sources of sound reproduction are, for most people, pretty
hard to differentiate, and wholly personal."
