How electric is an electric guitar if you play it back on a hand cranked victrola?

There only one thing better than the most analog of analog devices.

It’s the steam-powered mechanically amplified m-guitar. Like the next logical step from punk-rock is now steam-punk-rock, driven hard by the smoke of real amounts of the finest selected charcoal. Everything else is fake and sounds like cheap plastic bubbles. Next step for the hardcore-minded sub-subculture of the steam-punk-rockers will be diesel-driven-drumkits, hardcore sound as is the hardcore smell…

I tried a recorder once, but i couldn’t get it to record, so i put it on the shelf.

Analog?

“So, what kind of outboard gear do you use along with that?”
We don’t use any outboard gear. As our good buddy The DJ Producer once wisely put it (long before we ourselves had the sense to fully realize the far-reaching implications of such a statement): “We fucked all that dinosaur shit off back to the stone age.”

Its simple -you just need a good analog finger for this!

You can improve your finger with some good recipes/techniques also,

just try to find some good teacher/reading on how to make your finger more analog!

128kbps mp3 = mainstream

Last month we met a couple (20+) in the street,

they were looking for ‘N’ club.

When we figured out the direction they need to move,

they asked if we are going there.

We said that we are going to another club ‘X’,

but i asked them ‘Whats about music here in this ‘N’ club today?’

The answer was: ‘Digital’.

They don’t mention the music style or sound system club have.

Its like a zombie answer i think,

doesn’t matter if this a brainwashedhipster zombie or other.

I would add that if you use it, that disqualifies you for being a hipster.

If you framed it and hung it on the wall, then maybe :wink:
