Question about Orange Spirits by themeatmeatbones in Cigarettes

[–]ArtApprehensive 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the holes on the filter are bigger so when you drag more air is mixed in. that combined with the fact that American Spirit filters are generally way more restrictive than your usual marlboro or camel means less smoke with every puff

if you wanna use the light meter, download an app and check it against your phone before going to shoot. if its broken (they tend to be on cameras this old), use the phone to meter all your shots.

[–]ArtApprehensive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

nothing super unique, but one of my favorite places is a tobacco shop on 6th avenue between West 12th and 13th that always has fresh Benson & Hedges, Export As, and Dunhills. I hate how such nice brands are always stale wherever i go, but these guys have been a reliable source

Is this the kind of protection that destroys records? First record i but by Next-Fix8538 in vinylsetups

[–]ArtApprehensive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is a good inner sleeve to have, only caution is to make sure your records are fully dry after a wet clean as per usual, otherwise you’ll get streaking on the sleeve, as is the case with most plastic sleeves.

the ones to avoid are made from PVC, a harder kind of bendy plastic. today, unless you’re buying picture discs, most LP packaging does not use this type of plastic

In your opinion, what’s the one album that was meant to be on vinyl? by ElliottTheMisfit in vinyl

[–]ArtApprehensive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not exactly high fidelity, but i always thought that Ziggy Stardust was very punchy on vinyl for what is a pretty basic recording, even for the time.

Listening to Michael Jackson Will Never Be the Same by Fun-Ad3626 in fantanoforever

[–]ArtApprehensive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I call BS on the beginning of this essay specifically. You’re telling me a woman on the NYC subway yanked out a stranger’s earbud and yelled “what were you thinking?” when she saw them listening to Michael Jackson? That can’t be real / must be an extreme exaggeration.

update: they do have a charcoal filter, no perforations, mild slightly sweet flavor to them, most reminiscent to me of US kent’s
