"they are all worn out." I really have no idea what you mean with that. there's nothing wrong with tapes. just because the audio-standard shifted to cd doesn't mean much - it says nothing about the quality of other recording media. in fact, Sean Booth makes a good point about tapes in the Pitchfork interview he did earlier this year: Pitchfork: I know you guys archive to tape-- were you sad when you heard the news that Quantegy went out of business? Booth: Tape is beautiful. I love it. I still record stuff to cassette even now. We'll put things out [that were done with tape] and people will say, oh this is brilliant, such DSP blah blah just because the quality of it is superior and I think people are unaccustomed to it these days. A lot of kids don't even know what a cassette sounds like. It's weird. You can do amazing things with tape, as soon as you get into using half inch and stuff it's just a laugh basically, it's really good. It's probably the best format that was ever made, it's just a shame that they stopped the development of it as a medium because it could have become really techno by now. With the way that they are developing substrates for producing CDs and harddrives-- they could be making the best tape ever just with what they use for harddrives. Maybe you could turn a harddrive into a tape machine, maybe somebody could do it, I'm not sure. |

| |||||||||
|

and that's when it became uncool. shit. |
||||||||
|
|

I actually listened to tapes quite a bit this holiday.. there's a tape-deck at the place we were and some old tapes.. when I listened and set the eq a bit, they sounded as good as cds of the same stuff! There was some tome waits which I've heard enough to know what it should sound like, and the cassette was just as good as the cd! on that note.. has anyone ever seen "Franks Wild Years?" It's supposed to be some musical of sorts, isn't it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tome = tom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I really miss the tape..mixes are easily made on a dubbel cassete deck..havent done that properly on a pc yet. I just hate tapes cause they always break and when you want to listen to a song again you've to rewind.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is supposed to be. I don't know if it ever really went into production, though. that's probably my favourite Tom Waits album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently it was - from allmusic.com: "In 1986, he appeared in Down By Law and made his theatrical debut with Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre in Frank's Wild Years, a musical play he had written with Brennan." |

as always... : / |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to see that.. I wonder if his musical skills match his playwriting skills... it's probably one of those things that were never recorded, though (on visual media).. maybe he could be convinced to give it one more go? |

Cassettes were great back in the days, extremely popular and cheap. I remember buying half-legal Beatles albums for about 1.3 EUR in 1995/96. |

I would've liked to have seen it too. I don't think we ever will, though. :( luckily he made it into a record though. you even made me dig the album up again. "temptation" is one of the best songs ever written. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at the rate i'm going i' might actually get around to having a cassete tape avatar myself in about a year. of course by then you'll all be like 2346908734 diff avatars ahead of me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed! Temptation is amazing! I also like tomorrow I'll be gone.. managed to teach myself all the lyrics of that one once upon a time, but now all I can remember is "tonight I'll move the mountain" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, no.. wait.. I'm confused.. it's "tonight I'll shave the mountain" |
||||||||
|
|

There have been several tours of Tom's productions; The Black Rider, Alice, maybe even Blood Money. I think I read that Alice was in the theatre years before the album came out. |

Torture Garden, what an elegant name! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so there are more of these musicals? I never really read much about tom waits, I just loved the music... I'll have to look out for the next one if there will be one... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah he has done a lot of them. almost always with the same director, Robert Wilson if I'm not mistaken. |
||||||||

||||||||
