  • Album of the Week: Dead Cats Dead Rats’
    Album of the Week: Dead Cats Dead Rats’ Raw Lately I’ve been hearing people talk about how much they miss the ’90s. Yeah — the decade was cool. Flannel, acid wash jeans, weird hair cuts, Surge (thank god it’s back) and Nintendo 64 were in style, and Seattle was the mecca of music for most of those years. There was also Milli Vanilli and a plethora of horribly catchy “boy bands” that really ended the ’90s on a downer. While I don’t like to romanticize the past, a spectacular punk trio from Boston that has a sound similar to Nirvana, Mudhoney and Bad Religion has a new album out and it definitely harks back to the music of 20 years ago. That band is Dead Cats Dead Rats and their new album, Raw, is one of the most badass albums to come out in 2014. Relating to previous material I’ve heard from them, DCDR’s new release is loud with an abrasive angst. If you’re having a stressful day, crank this baby up, let it rip and rock the fuck out. Frontman Matt Reppucci has scorching riffs on guitar to go along with bassist Chris Wolz and drummer Travis Tenney crafting an electrifying rhythm section that is a musical force to be reckoned with. Press play on this bad boy and I guarantee you won’t stop listening. People these days sometimes just have to chill out, stop and smell the roses. Life’s too short not to do it. While partaking in said activity, make time to bask in the top tracks of my Album Of The Week.

  • Beatles Cassette Tape-Ography
    A History of Beatles Cassettes Winner of the Tape War Last Modified 09 De 2012 The technology for the cassette (or compact cassette) is based on the simplest premise: make the reel to reel tape smaller. The Philips company is chiefly responsible for the cassette tape, meant as competition with the other formats. Philips developed several types of Dictaphone (voice) tapes before coming up with the “winner” in 1962. In July-August, 1963, Philips officially launched the “compact cassette” at the Berlin Radio Show (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin). Immediately, the voice tape recorders began to be sold in Germany and in Holland. By November, 1964, Philips was marketing the first recorders – the EL-3300 – to US customers through Norelco. The four-track and eight-track cartridges had been directed at music to be played in automobiles, replacing the nasty "singles player" and reel-tape player. However, the cassette at first was deemed unsuitable for music, due to its slow speed of 1 7/8 inches per second. No reel to reel tapes featuring music were issued at 1 7/8 ips, and the cassette had a smaller bandwidth. But it came into use for voice recording. The microcassettes still used today for dictation were once a leading purpose of the cassette tape. In 1965, Philips introduced mono music cassettes in Holland, Austria, and Switzerland. As the sixties progressed, strides were made to make the cassette “more listenable,” and in Fall, 1966, the first stereo music cassettes became available in Great Britain. This followed a big push at the Chicago Music Show in July, 1966.
