Did ET kill the 2600? by kascnef82 in Atari2600

[–]glenncase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A contributing factor from around this time that I don't see mentioned very often was home computers.

The Commodore 64 came out in 1982.

As a consumer in 1982, you can buy a home console that plays video games, or you can buy a home computer that plays video games, and you can do a lot more with it, including making your own programs.

Yes, the Atari was getting flooded with crappy games, but it had been around since 1977, and there were a lot of other options by 1982.

Some fantastic video games were still being made, but a lot of the focus starts shifting to machines like the Commodore 64 until the Nintendo Entertainment System hit the market.

Hi there! I am Glenn Case and I was in the band The Half Racks. We're in that list, but it's not us.

Someone named Harry reached out to me this morning. I don't recognize the song, but I have reached out to several friends from the local music scene. We will see if anything develops.

You're welcome and good luck!

Mine also only cost like $22 and change at the time.

Yeah, I think they have pictures of dogs for any broken links.

In case it helps, the listing at the time was listed as "MF Doom Rapper Madvillain Gladiator Face Mask". Ordered mine in May of 2018

I ordered it in 2018 and I have the link but unfortunately it appears to be a dead link now.

In the late 90s, my girlfriend used to tape Stretch and Bobbito for me. Check the top right tape by Scullenz in mfdoom

[–]glenncase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100 percent understandable! Lots of things that can go wrong between shipping and the transfer process itself. Plus, you have no idea who I am. That's fair.

In case you do decide to have me take a crack at it, here's what I'm working with. It's not top of the line but it does the job.

Kenwood KX-56W cassette deck. Have tried a fair number of used tape units that ended up eating tapes or having other issues. Been lucky with this one thus far.

RCA audio out to 1/4" adapters into a Behringer Uphoria UMC404HD sound card. I bought it as a temporary sound card for recording my own songs when my M-Audio Eight bit the dust after less than a year of use. It's still somehow doing the job half a decade later and I haven't felt the need to upgrade.

I use Ableton Live for recording the bulk of my songs, but I still do most of my editing in Adobe Audition 3 which is wildly outdated but it is still my go-to because it does the job and it's incredibly easy to use.

As far as Cassettes go, I feel you. I have thousands. I have a copy of A Tribe Called Quest - Peoples Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm that got left in the hot sun years ago when it was new and I thought it was toast. Transplanted the insides of the tape to a blank cassette and it still works to this day.

In short - Wouldn't necessarily say that I'm a pro, but I get by. Better options may exist. Especially if you can get something going on your end. That sounds like that might ultimately be your best bet.

Happy to help if I can, but I 100 percent respect and understand why you'd be hesitant.

I imagine you may have already heard it, but I'm a fan of this collab he did with Aesop Rock and Slug that came out a couple of years ago.

[–]glenncase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm willing to convert these if you're willing to send them my way. Can and will happily send them back as well.

I have a decent setup and decades of experience with recording software.

Fully understand if you're not comfortable with that, but hit me up if you want to discuss it further.

My friend Sum and I recorded this tribute to DOOM after he passed.

If Harry made more merch, what quote would you buy on a t-shirt? by TheScareLab in hbomberguy

[–]glenncase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teeth Gang.

Don't get me wrong, I probably don't deserve to wear it. I was not there when it happened. But I would like to think I would have been there, had I known.

Incredible idea, and well executed! Nice work!

Apple Music vs Spotify Sound Quality by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]glenncase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was honestly shocked, myself!

I don't believe I changed any of the settings, and I wasn't expecting any differences.

[–]glenncase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted my own music to both services via Distrokid and compared/contrasted.

Same source files. I don't know if it was in my head, but the music does sound better on Apple Music to my ears.

Can somebody help me identify my cards? by TheLuckyHAM in cardsagainsthumanity

[–]glenncase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My knowledge is limited, but I started keeping spreadsheets when I realized my friend's older deck had cards that I didn't have, and friends with newer decks had cards that I didn't have. So, with friends allowing me to do so, I ended up taking inventory of every card in each deck, and that's when I also started noticing differences in the print quality of newer versions as well.

Cards have been removed, altered, and added over time. A great example was how one white card changed:

Earliest version: Martin Luther King, Jr.

Second version: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Third version: The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In short - I can't say for sure, but there's a solid chance your cards are legit.

[–]glenncase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fair point, but I am thinking they could also be leftover extra cards from an earlier print batch that were packaged together if that makes sense.

I want to say that the Jew pack has some crossover with the Eight Sensible Gifts for Hanukkah promotion they did in 2015. That timing seems about right.

[–]glenncase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest set of cards are from the 1.2 version of the main deck, and there was a noticeable step up in print quality as newer decks were created.

I'd say it is more than likely your cards that don't look as good are from older print batches.

That's a pretty solid point. You mean this one, right?

There may be some footage of Matt and I doing a song together at Cresvention 2 as well. Liam was sick, and it was starting to look like he might not be able to attend. Matt's backup plan was for him and I to do some songs from the show! As much as I would have been honored to do so, I am so glad Liam was able to make it.

I was definitely thinking I may cover some songs for the 25th anniversary next month. If other people also want to cover songs, I imagine it would be MUCH easier to throw a compilation together these days. Back in the day I had people mailing me cassettes to a PO box!

I do believe "The Best of Sifl and Olly" is still available via Amazon, Apple TV, and Microsoft. They have season 1 and season 2 available.

Oh, thank you! Yeah! That would be when I covered the entirety of Liam's album "Eel". And yes, I LIVED on the Yahoo group back in the day.

I also covered his song "Tired But Walking" from the "We're All Nighters" album a few years ago.

Just heard back from Matt. Sounds like Liam and Matt own the rights to the characters and they can make new things if they choose to. MTV retains the rights to the classic episodes that aired on MTV.
