AQI is 125 and the sky is gray-orange but I'm gonna heat tf out of my kitchen regardless and make my famous peach pizza for the kid. closed a huge sample clearance deal today so I broke my workweek fast and popped a lil somethin. it's really cool to pay someone who never got it the first go 'round.
not to mention classics like Fear Of A Black Planet and De La Soul Is Dead requiring multi vinyl DJ pressings after complaints that no one could play the single vinyl masters in the clubs
On the flip side, the first double album in rap history was released in 1988 as a double vinyl album but shortened and released as a single cassette album in order to curb production costs. Was also arguably the first concept album...one side featuring the rapper, the other featuring the producer.
also expanded editions have existed since the CD era vinyl has a finite amount of physical space for music, of course the issue of doing a double or triple disc version is going to influence decision making. you don’t get a deal on the second (or third) discs
I don't see the big deal with this. If anything I think it's an incentive to be less precious about having an overly polished final product. Release the unfinished vinyl versions on all platforms you cowards!
I have assumed the Rodrigo edits are about side length, weird for the author to not mention also there’s The Clipse’s last record which was missing a key song on the first pressing due to sample clearance issues

A lot of people who have lived through civil wars say the the violent breakdown of society is bad for everyone. But I’m built different.
I feel like this when I look at my custom Dream TDK Hobo Junction airbrushed sweatshirt (on its way to be framed… but seriously would anyone younger than me rate this appropriately)

sorry for going insane for a few years do you still wanna hang out
a few weeks ago I saw a dude in the middle of a small grassy area, sitting on a folding chair, clad in tatty shorts and a barely hanging on shirt, sweating in the sun, a smattering of furniture randomly placed around him, and a spraypainted sign that simply said “REAL MCM” hardest shit since MC Ren
The next time you consider making a flier with AI, please also consider that the most intriguing ad I’ve seen this week is a garage sale sign made of particle board with spray painted writing that reads, “GOOD SHIT —>”
