I'm cruel but I can't stop laughing at the cheery optimism in the face of long term abject failure in the second clip...

Happy Birthday to Terry Hall, the singer of Enjoy Yourself who has very obviously never enjoyed himself.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Was just reading a review of an interesting looking new book by David Hepworth about the golden age of the LP which he claims was between 1967 and 1982. He suggests that by ‘82 vinyl was being usurped by the cassette and that bit I am curious about. My own experience was listening to cassettes for many years before graduating to vinyl so it was the other way round for me. Nor did the advent of the Walkman change that dynamic, because I tended to buy the LP in almost every case and then transfer to tape for the walkman. Maybe I am an anomaly in this regard, but that’s the way I always assumed it.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Yup, by the early 80s the Phillips cassette dominated sales for a lot of reasons. The Walkman and car stereos let people take their music with them. It was also easier for retailers to stock them because they didn't take up as much room. One constant about our relationship with music in the consumer era is that portability and individuality drives the technology. We want to pick what we want and we want to do be able to do it where we want. Whatever the superiority of vinyl over magnetic tape, it wasn't superior to portability.Low Down Low wrote: ↑20 Mar 2019, 9:02amWas just reading a review of an interesting looking new book by David Hepworth about the golden age of the LP which he claims was between 1967 and 1982.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Ah ok, fair enough. It’s just my own experience then. I don’t think I ever bought another cassette after I got my first record player, apart from clash ones for mere completist reasons. I bought blank tapes and often spent hours each day recording. But I guess that was analogous to the overall trend.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Mar 2019, 9:24amYup, by the early 80s the Phillips cassette dominated sales for a lot of reasons.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
That was mostly what I did, too. Best of both worlds—records at home, blank cassettes with my albums outside. Even better, you could put two albums on most cassettes, so you were really maxing portability and efficiency. Kids today with their streaming and playlists—in our day, dammit, we had to plan and make real choices!Low Down Low wrote: ↑20 Mar 2019, 9:39amAh ok, fair enough. It’s just my own experience then.
