Really interesting. Thanks for posting this here, and I hope you don't get a lot of "it was on boing boing" naysayers.

Agreed. A friend sent this to me yesterday (I don't read BB kthx) and I found it fascinating.

The same artist was responsible for Bassline Bassline (previously posted), which is well worth a watch. I'm surprised no one mentioned Can I Get An Amen? in that thread, as it's the reason I stumbled across it, but I guess I'm not the only one who forgot.

The audio does work really well on it's own, I'm surprised there isn't an MP3 of it floating around.

This is truly great, interesting stuff, loquacious. thank you for posting it here. I'm going to send it to about 20 people.

I love the aesthetic of the Quicktime focused on the disk, then the room. The narrator made me think of This American Life.

Thanks!

It's a bit like being backed up against the wall at a party-from-hell by a very dull man. I keep looking over his shoulder in hopes that I spot someone I just have to say hello to, but there's no escape. It's quite funny how he sneers at "chinstroking intellectual self-indulgence", though. Hmm.

I saw this back in November. Doesn't change the fact that it is way way good.

Saw this the other day, and I agree with everyone else. It is really interesting.

LOL Stanton 500 cartridge+stylus. And he even talks about how short the life of an acetate is. When you play it with a nail through a board it is...
