Subtitle: Some rubbish i found on old tapes and decided to rip to webfilez and share for no good reason. are some things from when i was younger. They haven't got any real titles or anything so i just called them some silly names. Anyway, the 6 (six! count 'em!) musical joys i am sharing are all at 96kpbs quality, as befits their quite hilariously rubbish nature. They include: - A tape of my french oral exam from when i was 13 - Some tortured adolescent grungeness from when i was learning to play guitar - A recording of aforementioned grungeness where my recorder went momentarily insane and buggered up the results before spitting out a mess of see-through plastic and chromium-oxide cassette tape - A couple of "choons" i made on my dad's 80s sampler and cheap 4-track (featuring samples by the likes of bjork, orbital and our friend the aphex twins, as well as my shitty guitar-playing) - A nigh-7-minute jam-session with my dad that is almost indescribably bad. Still to come: - A tape of my first speakages when i was a small baby-thing - My dad playing along to some jazz piano tracks on his saxomaphone (these are actually quite good) - Any other old crap i can root out I hope you enjoy this nonsense. |

I like old tapes, excellent idea, i look forward to more. I think a compilation of everybodies tape-based doodlings would be a good idea. It could be a side XLT Vibes project.. XLT C-90.. no, I don't know. Remember that my tape based shenanigans are still very much available |
||||||||

got no problems, weeird |

|

oh that deserves a thread i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Argh. The site's a bit wonky sometimes, give it 10 minutes or something and it should be alright again. Maybe. I've said it before and i'll say it again: Fuck you, yahoo briefcase. Fuck you. Also: XLT-C90...? FUCK YEAH, i'd love that. Bollocks to low-bitrate distortion, tape hiss all the way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also x2: now downloading sleepman things. Sexylegs*. *This is now my expression for something that i am looking forward to and expect to be quite good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love tapes and the random stuf on them, the sound quality.... Ohhhhhh...ssssss.... I think a compilation archive would be great. However, on the Sleepman tapes, don't get your hopes up, just that they ARE on tape is their saving grace. Well not now, obviously. DS9mm's "Arsecandle" is begging for a remix, absolute genius. |

Heh! I like untitled #1 anyway. It sounds rather like somebody ate a jesus and mary chain album and vomited it back up half digested. Which is a good thing, although the description wouldn't really tell you that. I'll be sure to grab the others at some point in the near future. Also: this thread will welcome any member's posts of old stuff they're a bit embarrassed about, be they on tape or otherwise. POST NOW!!! All the cool kids are doing it. |

I'm downloading your sturf. I'd love to get some stuff me and a mate did from ancient tape player onto my PC but I don't know how :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get the correct cable from pc world or summat, stick it in the headphones-bit of yer stereo and the mic port of your pc, bang the tape in and hit record in your program of choice. Simple as pie my man, and lots of fun to be had. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But what cable do I need??? ??? ??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
XLT-90 would be a great idea, as long as the material is good. I know my early doodlings are absolutely horrid and it's a shame I ever commited them to any format, so i don't think I will contribute. Anyways, props to ya for sharing, I must say it was quite a fun listen :) And by the way, Safari couldn't load your briefcase, but FireFox did it without problems. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't rember the name of the cable, but both ends should look like the bit on the end of your headphone wire. They're hella easy to find at most shops and pretty cheap, shouldn't be more than 7 or 8 quid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
These are great by the way. |
||||||||
|
|

Haha sweet jesus no, they are not, at least in a Serious Musics ArtWank way. Although they do make me laugh. |
||||||||
|

Yeah when I posted that I had only heard Smelly+Frenchman and was half way through another ;) Why aren't you on slsk? |

"Mes professeurs sont bons en général, mais quelquefois idiots et mauvais comme ma professeur pour la science." Awesome. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"My professors are good in general, but sometimes idiotic and bad like my professor for science." According to google at least. |

this is great. I now have a folder called "Alex Tapes". |
||||||||
|
|

all for love, sprout. |

I really think there should be a compilation of things of tape origin type "stuff". I, for one, would enjoy it greatly. And that's reason enough, surely? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im at work right now how do they sound? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
organise it, baby. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that shut you RIGHT up, didn't it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well, I was trying to find a quote from Lo-Fidelity Allstars that goes something like "Got a revolution behind my eyes/ We've got to get up and organise" but then, inevitably my Virus Fire Scan Hotwall went apeshit crazy about some fucking spyware that lives on those shitty lyrics websites and then i had to spend a while fucking about getting shot of the fucker, so, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! I still think it's a good idea. I bet you've got things on tape, haven't you, HAVEN'T YOU???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I do! a LOT of bad guitar-wankery + singing. I'm of the grunge/Nirvana-generation too, you know. but I'd rather die than putting it all online, although I will be transferring those tapes to wav, soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He could be busy organising right now and you'd never even know! Also: i am currently uploading a new tape thing. It is 13 (Thirteen!) and a bit minutes long. Epic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that perhaps why I can't download the last two mp3s? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well just one or two tracks, not the whole, protracted oeuvre. I will be transferring a particualrly sexual selection of VERY EDITED keyboard based sonic doodles. I like young DS9mm's spoken word pieces, I think any things like conversations, sounds, you know, ephemera, as well as music..... oh I don't know, maybe it's just me, sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, I like that kind of semi-found stuff too. all the voicemails I recieve are sent to my e-mail-adress as a small wav-file. I have hundreds of those now. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That could be why, yes sir indeed. Give it another 20 minutes or so and then you'll be all rheddy to rhumble, as it were. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need those songs. |
||||||||
|
|

where/what does your avatar come from? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I bet you do.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think we all do. Also: my avatar from the harry hill show. It is a blue rubber cat called "stouffer". Furthermore: is now online. |

oh jesus christ I'm listening to all my old tapes which I recorded when I was around 15/16 years of age... yes, it's just me, a taperecorder, a tape, a dilapidated guitar, one chord, my thin voice and puberty. a LOT of puberty. I am digitalificating them, and in time, I'll release small tidbits in this, the Alex Tapes thread, for I too am an Alex and blessed we Alexes all are with a small library of embarrassing tapes. thing that annoys me is I can't find the later tapes, which involve me ROCKING OUT on electric guitar and loadsa distortion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OH SHIT, i think i just stained myself in three separate locations. The dream is coming true, slowly but surely. All alexes, FIND YOUR TAPES! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's great. I am now hearing myself playing along to some pre-recorded guitar-wrangling, as if I was playing bass. and trying to hit a high-note. and not quite hitting it. oh my. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and songs ending abruptly because the tape runs out - now that is FUCKING ROCK 'N ROLL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sadly i could not find any more of my terrible old recordings, so i decided to root even deeper into the filth of my room to bring you two more tape-based nonsenses. - "Single Parent Despair" is taken from a 1990 "haven holidays" tape for, yes you guessed it, the children of single parent families. There was a "tiger club" that we were herded into for the night whilst the bitter divorcees drank themselves silly. Hurray! P.S. The lyrics are awesome. - "Ginger Dale Plays His Heart Out" is from a rather unlikely source: that of my friendly ex-speed dealer playing "bohemian rhapsody" with a steel band when he was a young 'un. It is surprisingly competent. Download at will, probably very slowly. |
