fresh stack of CDs just arrived from japan yes, the CD format is still thriving. a huge catalog of music is available and new releases continue to be issued alongside digital and vinyl. most vinyl pressed after the mid 1980s is music that was recorded digitally. so besides the trademark distortions of the format like surface noise and wow/flutter, there aren’t many “analog” characteristics to modern vinyl pressings. the CD format enjoys significant popularity in audiophile/hi-fi communities because it’s often much cheaper (and easier) to attain a high level of performance via CD playback vs. digital sources like streaming.

Dope selection! Do you like cassette? I found it to be a good compromise between “aesthetics” and convenience, especially paired with a dope original Sony Walkman

there was a period of time in my early 20s when I used to review releases in what I’d vaguely characterize as the “lo-fi” genre and they were almost all cassettes. I had a blog and everything. I haven’t touched one since then though.
