My favorite way to listen to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is how I originally heard it via cassette. My tape was second-hand and well used by the time I got it, and often unravelled. The introduced distortion was amazing.
- maxbond 3y agoI've heard it said that people remember media not for it's fidelity, but for it's flaws. I've come to appreciate over the last several years that seeming imperfections often improve a medium in ways that are difficult to quantify or to convey. For instance I've noticed it's much more comfortable for me to read eink than to read from an LCD, and I think it may be because the eink has imperfections. I think the balls don't always rotate, and it creates a subtle noise texture in the background. It reminds me of comfort noise that's played on telephone systems.
- braunboffel 3y agoeink doesn't use rotating balls. You're confusing eink with gyricon from Xerox. That product died ages ago.
- maxbond 3y agoThank you for the correction, eink is a more diverse and interesting set of technologies than I was previously aware.
- andrewshadura 3y agoTo me, Sting's / Eric Clapton's It's Probably Me always ends about 2/3 into the song. Because it was how it was recorded on the cassette I heard it for the first time from. And ELO's Twilight will always have "twilight's gone awaAaAy" because the tape was stretched around that syllable :)
