A dedicated thread for 45->33 rpm slowdown in the era of online sharing

Inspired by the recent slowed down Alvin & the Chipmunks thing circulating virally on Soundcloud
https://soundcloud.com/alvin-thechipmunkson16sp/sets/sludgefest

This is definitely kind of A Thing, & has been for some time on YouTube (et al)
SPEAKING OF WHICH: plz no youtube embeds -- or wait is that something I have the option to disable when I create the thread?? oh well

***LINKS ONLY***NO EMBEDS***
LET'S MAKE THIS ONE SPECIAL

So... what are your favs?

PS I'm assuming by typing tags around youtube addresses, I get a link rather than a share yes? Like so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Va2Akf9x6s#t=3512 (Slayer, Hell Awaits @ 33 rpm)

oh ffs

I like the Talking Heads "Psycho Killer" at 33 but I'm too scared to post the link now

second half of Depeche Mode – Shout (Rio Remix), 33rpm + 8%

https://youtu.be/vffWpD3lCIs

(a cosmic sound classic)

Michael Jackson's 'Beat It', without a doubt!

link to Slayer's Hell Awaits 33 RPM version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Va2Akf9x6s#t=3512

oh ffs

i don't know how to not embed so here is the youtube video id of the slow version of "working man" by rush

1YIjte73IPg

also "whistle bait" by the collins kids and "funnel of love" by wanda jackson.

The slowed down Chipmunks version of Walking Like an Egyptian is going on my EOY list. So evil.

Hall & Oates I Cant Go For That is excellent

e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPrDaxNBzx8

reposting this amazing Portishead track from the other thread

hmm so for future reference, apparently the way to link to youtubes without embedding them is to use the <url="> tag. good to know!

Don't you just have to make sure to use https instead of http?

no.

ghostbusters theme

Kate Bush - Rocket Man

sounds like an Aerial outtake

alright, which one of y'all jokers is the barista at my neighborhood coffeeshop who decided to subject patrons to an hour of slowed-down chipmunks this afternoon? (which I wholeheartedly approve of, btw)

xp that Kate Bush is doing my head in, love it

Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It
one of my all-time favs, makes me sad I've never had the opportunity to abuse codeine in a club setting

Diana Ross - Upside Down
+ found a link in the comments to https://soundcloud.com/groups/45-33-45-played-on-33rpm

okay so I guess this was a substantial part of the 'vaporwave' genre (which I 100% missed out on, as I was busy reading poetry & getting into metal)
e.g. this Macintosh Plus track

to bring it all full-circle, here's 15 minutes of ass-thick swampy stoner sludge c/o Creedence Clearwater Revival

this

at 33 is insanely good.

fuck.
sorry re embeds.

yeah, bernard you should check out the vaporwave thread! half of it is this sort of 80s slowed down stuff. (the other half is like bright 90s corporate muzak)

i tend to prefer the stuff that eschews vocals, sometimes the slowed down vocals do work, though. makes a lot of stuff sounds like tears for fears.

and of course, His Majesty DJ Screw

grooving & leaning this morning to New Alhambra, an LP(?) by a contemporary indie-rock dude

https://youtu.be/2z9FkLoPDxA << could totally play this out, just add a drop & some doubletime handclaps in the chorus

my friends and i discovered 'slowed down walk like an egyptian' back when we were teenagers. so pleased it's been brought to wider attention.

The Dolly Parton 'Jolene' one is excellent.
