This is one of my all-time favorite songs, seriously. I have the full-length on vinyl and play it pretty regularly at a weekly "Bring Your Own Vinyl Night" I host at my neighborhood bar.

Nope, time-coded vinyl.

Custom pressed vinyl

Anyone else think it was a bit odd that numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 were the same girl?

And wtf were those "pasties" on #4...vinyl gloves?

I spent a couple of years doing pin-striping and vinyl customizations on used cars, and I have to say, whoever did the work in this video was far more expert than anyone I've ever seen. Even 8 inch tape is a serious pain in the ass to work with. Getting the bubbles out from under it is a nightmare.

I can't even imagine trying to do 5-6 foot sheets.

On many occasions it's also a lot cheaper than redoing the paint on the whole car, plus it protects the paint itself to some extent. Of course there are some really expensive vinyls, but then again, all paint ain't the same price either.

It's like a vinyl record and an 8-track had a baby!

Gotta give Jack White respect for what he spends his money on. That vinyl beats a gold plated Bugatti any day of the week.

If that's vinyl, it'll drop off in about 5 minutes in the rain.

I did tape scratching in the 90s a lot, with modified reel to reel machine. The technique i used is harder, doesn't differ from vinyl scratching a lot (except in mine, i didn't cut the audio with fader but lifting the tape head from tape. THe end result surprised me, didn't expect it to work as at that point, had no knowledge of anyone ever using that (now i of course know that i was actually late..) It is a lot like vinyl, you still need to keep manually rotating the reels, working with the tape motor, needing to hit hits precisely without actually seeing where they are (easier with reel but there's a lot of tape in that reel and manually rotating against the motor and motion, makes the tape tighten so you can't use marks on the reels either...) Plus few handy effect like taking both reels and just turning them opposite directions, making the tape sits still but stretching, making all kinds of nice screeching sounds as the vibrations from the reel and the tape are heard, not the audio material on tape...)

Next i'm thinking of refitting old 5,4" floppy disk with analog tape head and maybe drawing the recordings on to to it, attaching the tape head to the end of my index finger.. Then i could get even closer to vinyl as there is something interesting on rotating sound sources.. Mainly it is the recording part that makes tape scratching interesting, taking a scratch sample, scratching it, resampling it again, using signal generators, designing harmonics etc.. Maybe that's next for me, using one hand to record and the other to play back.

None of them seemed that upset or hurt... although the kid on the right at 0:08 had a sore leg afterwards from the way he landed on it.

As for what went wrong, the poster writes:

Few people asked about the banner. Yes it's vinyl but it is actually two pieces held together by Velcro. What you can't see is the sign is backwards with the writing facing us on the field. Guess it's not made to break that way

Yes, and thankfully consigned there.

Sorry but aside from nostalgia I have no desire to see cassettes ever again. Vinyl might have some superior audio, but absolutely every single aspect of listening to music now is an improvement over cassettes.

I was well into Sub Pop and all the artists in the genre at the time, bought every piece of vinyl they ever put out.

I was fortunate enough to get to see Nirvana play live, and still have the tshirt to this day, hung in a garment bag in a storage facility in Los Angeles.

Good idea, and some interesting facts, particularly about the grades of leather/vinyl.

I cracked up at 11:00 though:
"More money than you'd ever make with those gold fillings, and the jewelry you get when you dig up those graves."

Allow me to edit the note to yourself and suggest you dust off your trusty old record player and treat yourself to a more authentic reminiscence.
