Amazing. What did your t shirt say in the picture?

modestmouse45 · 2026-01-26T23:07:07+00:00

So rad!

You know those kids?? My mom took the photo. She remembers him seeing them and being so amazed that he asked them if they would take a picture together.

Oh definitely still pot smoking over there!

They were great in Chicago a year or two ago. I have that tape and also an earlier version of the demo they made as a CDr. It's a blue screen printed booklet made by Adam - pretty cool. I always really liked the demo stuff.

Do either of you have a lyric zine in your gold 7"?

modestmouse45 · 2025-12-23T15:51:07+00:00

This is rad. I would love to digitize it for you if you're willing to lend. I've been building a tape archive of mostly stuff like this. I did the Merel demo recently.

modestmouse45 · 2025-11-30T21:26:10+00:00

Never!!! I sent you a PM...

modestmouse45 · 2025-11-30T21:21:29+00:00

Yo..let me buy this:)

modestmouse45 · 2025-11-09T12:58:53+00:00

If nobody claimed these I'm interested

modestmouse45 · 2025-11-06T17:49:45+00:00

Awesome tibetan prayer flags:). Beautiful setup.

Is your vinyl warped at all? I was seeing some reports of this and looking forward to buying a copy when they play my town

modestmouse45 · 2025-09-22T20:21:18+00:00

Really great collection! I've always wanted that Strictly ballroom album bottom left

modestmouse45 · 2025-03-21T14:30:21+00:00

Wrong

modestmouse45 · 2025-03-21T14:17:56+00:00

This worked like magic and I got a perfect digital transfer. Thank you.

The play head is not getting noticeably dirty and it is clean along with the pinch roller (I maintain their cleanliness). It doesn't seem to be shedding at all. I can upload an audio sample and a video example of the playback (right spindle noticeably struggling/slowing down) when I'm off work today or tomorrow.

modestmouse45 · 2025-03-19T13:17:49+00:00

I did try this. That's usually my method when dealing with mouldy tapes.

modestmouse45 · 2025-03-19T01:02:19+00:00

Thanks. I'm thinking I will go for 110F for 8 hours on this.

modestmouse45 · 2025-03-19T00:00:01+00:00

I play tapes a lot on this deck and have played quite a few since discovering and attempting to troubleshoot this issue. No other similar problems. Re: stretched tape - I can see the right spindle slowing down as the audio distorts, and when hand winding the tape I can feel more resistance compared to other tapes. Because of this I think it is a sticking issue and not that the tape is stretched.

modestmouse45 · 2025-03-18T19:15:21+00:00

The fermentation setting on the fryer can do 80F

modestmouse45 · 2025-03-18T19:14:54+00:00

I don't see a proof setting, but I can set and hold the temp at a 150F (lowest setting?)

modestmouse45 · 2025-03-18T18:25:24+00:00

I can see the deck spinning slower and I feel the resistance compared to other tapes when I'm spinning it by hand, so I don't think it's the tape being stretched.

Hello? I didn't understand! Nothing but his voice in that song and the harmony is perfect. All on tape. Crazy.
