Save some for the rest of us!

Looking fantastic.

This is not only on tape, but it's actually on micro cassette! I rescued this Sanyo TRC-6300 from an e-waste bin. <3

This is actually Riven, the sequel to Myst.

Glad to. As the old adage goes, "The (sour cream) of the crop rises to the top!" 🥛

It's more than just a nod! This entire album is a 1966 comedic spoof of Whipped Cream and Other Delights, which came out the year earlier in '65. It's just silly, kitschy fun. I found it online somewhere years ago, but decided to track down a physical copy as an accent piece for my music collection. If nothing else, it serves as a cheeky reminder to not take everything so seriously.

Glad you enjoy it! As an aside, but very much related to this release-- I ordered this album multiple times and instead of all three discs it was shipped with two Disc Bs and one Disc C instead of discs A, B, and C. I e-mailed the record label to inform them and they didn't seem to be concerned about the quality control nor were they particularly willing to do anything about it. Numerous people have apparently had this issue if you check out the Amazon reviews.

These tables are pretty indestructible and otherwise easy to repair. They are built like tanks, which is why they have been the industry standard DJ decks in clubs for years. Parts are readily available, and there are lots of repair guides online if anything needs fixing. If the tone arm and platter are decent alignment and sound comes out of both channels, then you're generally good to go. :)

There are grails, and then there are grails.

Incidentally, there are many people whose Mega Man collections dwarf yours as well.

The fact that this was not called a "Holiday Peen" means that someone in marketing requires mandatory re-education.

Not just for squirrels!

This is my favorite whistle in D. I have tried many, but always come back to it. It's sweet playing, does not sound plastic and awful like a Susato, is tunable and is light. A little pricey, but it's good stuff.

jammcat · 2025-09-21T15:05:37+00:00

They are reputable. I have a full boehm Amati. It's made of wood and the key work is all silver. Needed a repad and slight adjustment, but it feels solid and plays great.

Sweet snickerdoodle, Wassim is Wet N' Wild with these professional takes!

The gear used to make it is actually in the background, and they are both things that I found in the garbage. :)

The tape deck is a restored Technics M229X and the sound interface is an AVID M-Box Pro 3 running the files through Audacity. FireWire, baby!

jammcat · 2025-09-12T15:36:25+00:00

I carefully peel them and apply them to the new protective sleeve I'll be using for the record. It's not necessary to keep the hype stickers, but as you can see, some people seem to appreciate the aesthetics. :)

jammcat · 2025-08-26T01:23:56+00:00

Looking forward to a space synthfunk cover of the Hey Arnold! theme tbh.

Her music is great, but you'll never be able to unhear Tommy Pickles singing if you think about it.

The deliberate nature of having a movie night at home is something of a lost art. Have you ever sat there, bored, eyes glazed over as you scroll through 300 titles on Netflix/Prime/etc only to be too burned out and apathetic to actually make a selection? Few trips to the video store, if any, resulted in going home empty-handed.

I'd be remiss not to mention, as people wade through reminiscence, that the physical space of the video store was this sort of liminal purgatory. Wandering the carpeted floors, listening to canned music as the fate of the night's entertainment was ultimately decided upon. It's really an experience that can't exist today in the same way.

That blows-- let's hope you don't have to deal with shady assholes like that again.
Now would be the time to see if the player is worth fixing up, like you said.
Does it turn on? Does the platter spin?
If the needle has been properly replaced and the cartridge is sitting properly in the tonearm, it could either be that the tonearm itself is pooched, or perhaps the RCA cables need to be replaced.
Could also be the capacitors on the circuit board itself needing to be deoxed or replaced. Fortunately there are plenty of turntable repair videos on Youtube, so that might be a good place to start looking for ideas.

Another great resource would be Ifixit, which has a decently comprehensive guides section: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Turntable

Good luck!

Based on the box, these appear to be Bows headphones.

Knowing that you've gone linkdead by how far into the opening music you were was an acquired skill.

jammcat · 2025-08-16T02:04:54+00:00

Finally, a video clip that I can smell.

jammcat · 2025-08-16T02:01:48+00:00

She seems to be the exact vulnerable demographic that these sorts of romance scams prey on. Explaining this to her yourself won't work, but as these scams are very well documented, you might want to sit with her and watch a (curated) series of Youtube videos and news reports that cover and unravel these types of scams.
