I'm the opposite of a coffee snob. I like pretty much all coffee. I recognize that some stuff is objectively better, but I think it all has merit. I can drink some pre ground cheap stuff from a grocery store and some high quality medium roast from a local roaster and be satisfied with either.

ward holy shit, you unlocked old memories of my mom playing this album in the basement of my childhood home. Thanks for sharing. I have a rabbit hole to go down and something to talk to my mom about. \m/

tonight's contribution from me... I've been on a big Sabbath kick. https://www.youtube.com ...

Y'all are giving me a lot of stuff to check out...how on earth did I miss technology connections?? Gonna check a lot of these out...

skullmeat 8 bit show and tell especially intrigues me because I have very little knowledge of computers from that era.

Speaking of old school youtube vibes, time ...

So, I work with kids, mostly tweens and teens, so younger than the folks you’re talking about, but it’s relevant all the same...I can’t sugarcoat it, things are bleak in a lot of ways, and I largely think it’s a sign of the turbulent and difficult times that we’re all going through. There’s a ...

I'll post replies in this thread ...

@ward i think you're on to something when you talk about different formats being better suited for different albums or vibes. You're making me wanna see if some of my favortie punk ro death metal albums are available on cassette...off to discogs I go I suppose!

Time for more Death Metal... Atheist is my favorite death band of this era.
