hi ian

aim works now.

you can also get my phone number from jon or jer, or look around on the noize board.. it's there.

(only if you are comfortable with occasional full frontal male nudity).

Yes, I read Boredoms articles in the Wire too JW.

DONT READ THE WIRE BECAUSE I DONT SUPPORT ENGLAND

and i already have your # in my phone for some reason.

I have really become a hueg fan of the Ofege album released on Ac4d3my LP5.

I would like to support this business and buy all three albums on the reissue label.

Do I buy them on vinyl or CDs?

CDs arguments:
-Cheaper
-Will have perfect, 320kbps "digital copy" for iPod/iPhone forever withough having to back up hard drive
-Takes up less space
-Other two aren't on eMusic
-I assume if these things are "remastered" in anyway, it's gonna be digital remastering and CD/vinyl will probably sound the same
-Vinyl "reissues" are not really like owning the original record

Vinyl argument:
--Vinyl is cool and fun
--It;s appealing to play an old record on an old format
--Maybe it was remastered from vinyl and sounds better?
--More money going to Academy LPs who I'd like to support

Please help.

It was mastered from vinyl, but I'm not 100% sure the process was entirely analog. Tim Warren at Crypt did the mastering, and imo he does a really good job. That is for the Ofege release. IIRC the mastering for the two more recent releases was done elsewhere, but I can't think of the name right now. To be honest, however, there is not a noticeable difference between the LP and CD in terms of sound quality.

in terms of cost, you can come by any time I'm at work and I can give you CDs for free, because I have a some available for promotional use. or you can buy the LPs and i'll still give you the CDs! or w/e. i think we might be almost out, if not entirely out, of the Ofege CD. our CD pressings are smaller than our LP pressings.

(p.s. not at work til tuesday.)

Ha, free is the obvious choice, tbh

I was just in Ac4d3my on Friday and was lookin for u, hoping i remembered what u looked like from our two v. brief meetings.

I bought a bunch of rap LPs including Boogie Boys, Jaz-O and Gettovetts. And a Wolf Eyes CD used.

oh, i was there 2-10 on friday, but hiding in the back or out or something probably.

I'd assume the mastering was not entirely analog. I don't think it ever is anymore.

right. the last records that were an entirely analog process that i remember seeing were the Low LPs on kranky, which advertised specifically the AAA methodology. most things are ADA.

hey ian if my radio station wanted copies of that afro-rock stuff, who should we email?

hey ian i am appalled at your ageism

you mean my propensity for dating older women & then complaining about it?

KORGULL THE EXCHEQUER, you can e-mail me direction @ dr.carl.sagan at gmail dotcom

in terms of cost, you can come by any time I'm at work and I can give you CDs for free...

mucho thx btw... (also the fake accents/face accidents hookup, i'm trying to play with their drummer sometime in 2010!)

where are all the smart attractive young women? ian is prize mensch.

(I reject ageism tho, bcz all the gays my age are hooked up or dead)

Older ladies are cool but the younger ones just keep coming.

I get older, they stay the same age.

iirc tbh

you are awesome and older women are awesome and you will be awesome together
