I had an MD Walkman and always liked the concept, but since I had no other MD stuff at home, I had to go to a friend's house if I wanted to record an album onto MiniDisc. I don't know what it is with Japanese consumer electronics companies and their talent for shooting themselves in the foot (not that I blame Sony for me not having a MD recorder.)

Crosspostin' this from IYG Couple of decent finds this last weekend Akai 4000 DS Mk II in pretty much excellent condition. Needed a bit of polishing up but sounds great.  And better still, this beast. Sony TC-765  That one needs a bit of work, obviously, but it powers on and runs, just needs a good cleaning and lube and all the other basic maintenance. And a new erase head, looks like. And some cosmetic work. I'm told it fell off a cabinet, but given the weight of this thing I'd hazard the floor was worse off than the player.

Some have comedy and most have music. I have exactly one tape, labeled "Hillbilly pop" which contained music I'd say fits that description pretty well. Sounded pretty bad and was a bunch of garbage anyway, so I recorded the new Tennis album over it and that sounded great  There was also a partial (like 1cm spooled) reel labeled "something community church pastor soandso sermon" or some poo poo like that, but I needed a take-up reel so I just unwound that right into the bin. Dude who sold them to me said he has a bunch more around somewhere and that he'd give them to me if he finds them. I've ordered a couple of blank Ampex reels to play around with as well.

I bought a very thorough home inspection for a house we're hopefully be buying. Except he already got the report to us and it's 67 pages long. A lot of silly little things but some big problems that I hope we can negotiate them into lowering the price over. Otherwise I'll be taking over Tom Hanks' role in a reboot of The Money Pit.

A second pair of Audio-Technica M40X. Despite listing my friend's name and address, the cans came to me. The mic, boom stand, cables, and rest of the purchase did not so I'm hoping it all went to his door as everything should have.

Mister Kingdom posted:The last office I worked at was cleaning out some old junk and I got a SCSI Zip Drive (w/cable and a disc). I have no idea if it works because I have nothing to attach it to. You'll hate it if you do use it, it's barely SCSI, like SCSI II narrow. I bought one in the '90s and instantly realized an IDE or USB model would be vastly superior. Also, I'm surprised at all the reel-to-reel love. I have my dad's old Sony, not sure of the model number, and quite a few pre-recorded tapes. My tapes from the '80s all had music copied from cassette and that one Bill Cosby tape I really remember enjoying, much like Dave Chapelle described it in his new special. Gotta love the anachronistic tape boxes, I opened a pre-recorded commercial Frank Sinatra box expecting liner note only to find blank lines to write what I'd recorded on the tape.

Holy gently caress is that some kind of VIP package? WWDTM is great but I would assume tickets would be like $20-$30. Give us a good write up afterwards too, I'd enjoy reading how different it is live.

Bought a bunch of cleaning stuff since we are going on vacation next month and my wife wants the house to be super clean since her mother is coming by to watch the animals once a week. We have regular twice daily pet sitting neighbors but she just wants to make sure they get a couple hours of play time while we're gone.

One of my friends went to his show last year when he was in town and said something along the same lines. I also remember segments segments when he was on some talk shows (can't remember if they were morning or late night ones) where he definitely seemed a bit more short & acerbic when live(ish). Oh well, at least there will be puppets!

The tickets in Chicago are cheaper. $30 for general admission, $85 for the premium seats. If you do want to do it, look it up well in advance since tickets sell out so quick. I will do a post-trip report.

 Just found out I got some bonus bucks from work, put them all towards one of these bad boys and only had to spend $26 out of pocket for it. My uncle always had a Model M when I was a kid and I loved typing on the drat thing, and I desperately need a new work keyboard.  LET THE CLANKING BEGIN

The taste difference in fresh pasta isn't worth the labor imo. Content: bought a membership to REI. It was $20 but the coupon it activates saved me $36
