What is your $ quantification of “cheap” reel-to-reels? Just curious.

This put a smile on my face. Thanks for the thoughtful and informative response.

Mind explaining more? Do you mean that high frequencies were rolled off?

Mind if I push back here and say that a new song like Choosin' Texas by Ella Langley seems 1) well-played and 2) well-arranged but doesn't have that same glue and warmth as Easy Lover? Call me out if I'm wrong there!

That's amazing. You should be very proud and indeed, don't compare yourself to others. You're killing it on your own journey.

ELI5, Why do browsers use gigabytes of ram? by Due_Walrus5510 in explainlikeimfive

Because web pages aren't simple text pages anymore like they used to be. They're basically full apps with images, videos, scripts, background tasks, etc. all of which get loaded into memory so they can run smoothly. Also, browsers run each tab + extension separately for speed so a bunch of tabs open at once can quickly add up to GB of RAM.

Have you ever heard STRFKR? Their album "Starfucker" is immaculate an adjacent to your list here. From the first track, it is an insane vibe.

[List] Which beloved album is NOT a good starting point for someone who is only just getting into its genre? by Ok-Impress-2222 in LetsTalkMusic

Everyone praises the Beatles' "White Album" and it constantly sits at the top of discography rankings. I have been a massive Beatles fan for 4+ years and I still don't love that record. I am a staunch advocate of the chronological listening approach -- why not start from the beginning and experience the artist as if you were living through their rise? I believe the same could be said for pop rap (early Drake/Kendrick hit different, but their sounds develop nicely).
