- Comment on Queensland minister walks back comments doubting human role in climate change 1 week ago:
It’s so infuriating that politicians still can’t accept the facts when it comes to climate change. Like c’mon, it’s only the biggest existential threat to human kind…
- Comment on France to sue Australian platform Kick for 'negligence' after livestream death 1 week ago:
That’s actually what I’m wondering about, every article seems about the platform it happened on rather than the people involved (apart from the victim of course)

I’d say Mr. Inbetween, although I know literally nothing about Aussie TV beyond that show

Thanks, it’s always great to hear the details from some guy for knows his shit
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 3 weeks ago:
In my experience, it’s still pretty hit or miss. The smaller indie labels tend to get it right more than the big names.
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s actually a real term, but I kinda mean that it’s nostalgic to people who can’t really have nostalgia for it because they’re too young to remember it being the main music format.
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 3 weeks ago:
Cassettes don’t sound too bad if you actually have good equipment, which most people nowadays don’t (because most can’t afford collector’s prices for decent decks). I was born in 97, vinyl records were long dead by then. Most people who get into vinyl nowadays actually grew up with iPods (hence the term “fake nostalgia”).
On a solid system, there’s a lot more fidelity in the bass on vinyl.
Eh… it’s pretty much all down to mastering, but vinyl records have a limited dynamic range compared to CDs which makes the bass more pronounced maybe? Not something I’ve noticed but I tend to prefer clear high and mid range anyway.
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 3 weeks ago:
Another one of those pointless articles… Cassettes have been on the rise for a couple of years now, and for the same reasons that Vinyl has been making a comeback; mainly fake nostalgia and the yearning for true ownership in form of physical media.
As a vinyl snob, listening to music on that medium isn’t better. The quality is at best a little worse than what you get from a CD, it’s inconvenient, bloody expensive and it takes up space.
BUT you get to actually hold the music you love in your hands and listen to it more intently, because you’ve made the effort of putting on a record instead of just pressing play. I like that.
