Looks more like a cove imo
He's totally oblivious to everything that happens around him
Thanks, it's always great to hear the details from some guy who knows his shit
In my experience, it's still pretty hit or miss. The smaller indie labels tend to get it right more than the big names.
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 have experienced it being the main music format.
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 end and mid range anyway.
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.
Edit: just realised I just made the same points the article made... oh well. I'll just continue archiving my CD collection. Not (only) for posterity, but as a big middle finger to the RIAA.
Australia and Israel are mature democracies
I think one is more mature than the other though...
Why can't there be another Luigi....
As far as I'm concerned If he doesn't like something it's probably pretty good
Why? Was he hoping to sell some?
And smear Vegemite behind your ears so the drop bears won't get to them first
Near West Head, Sydney. Sorry for the crappy photo, I had to zoom in quite a bit.
Super cool location, felt pretty unreal actually being there... shame you can't go inside any more
Edit: Seems like they made a new website for it! I hope they can turn it around somehow
Before you say something, I am aware now that cashew nuts aren't that good for them (too fatty) and that you probably shouldn't feed them at all.
I went to the Lagoon that morning specifically to feed a cocky and I did... as well as about a dozen ducks. I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
Sat there for 20+ minutes just taking it all in
Saw some people posting random pictures lately, figured I might as well join in. This was near Wollundry Lagoon in Wagga
First of all, sorry if this really isn't the right spot for this but I figured that maybe some Aussies in here recognise it.
I've had this stuffed frilled-neck lizard since roughly 2006 when a family member brought it back from Australia for me, I know for sure that my brother had a stuffed dinosaur with a similar design on it. According to the tag it was hand made in Australia by "Kurrajong Aboriginal Products". A quick search brought me to a company with the same name that sells child education books and hand made dolls, so the connection is kinda there but I can't be sure; they don't sell stuffed animals (anymore). I'd really like to know if anyone has seen these or even has one.
Here's some pictures I took of it.
When I was in Australia myself a while ago I searched for similar things but couldn't find anything. Even the museum shops I went to only seemed to sell generic Chinese-made stuff, which really is a shame but anyway...
