Drag City

Is there a corresponding jump in sales of tape-decks?

Amazing that Drag City avoided streaming for so long only to abandon CDs shortly after embracing streaming.

Haha. Yes! I have a huge number of Drag City CDs precisely because they were shunning streaming. It was an effective strategy. No more Drag City CDs would mean 100.00% streaming their new releases here. I'm not about to become an olde worlde analogue format fetishist.

It bums me out... don’t people listen to albums in the car (and want better sound than an streaming over Bluetooth)?

finding a new car these days with a CD player factory installed is turning non-existent. cars are turning to that point where you need a discman to hook into the AUX to get that satisfaction, a sorta pre-CD players in cars era.

That’s interesting, it’s been standard in our last few leased vehicles (most recent is a 2019).

my 2018 subaru doesn't have a cd player, i only even thought to look a couple weeks ago!

It would skip like crazy careening over all those rugged trails and dry stream beds!

Those sun visors were great... if you wanted to scratch the shit out of your CDs.

What is God? Records about – curated by someone in particular? (I tried searching for info, but just found some similarly-named labels.)

Ty Segall I think?

Don't seem to have a thread on them so I'll toss it in here, but the new Wand live album is fantastic. In a more just world, they'd have at least half of that rabid King Gizz fanbase.
