What's Steve Albini Up To?

Very interesting reason Myles. Never thought of it that way, but he makes a good point.
 
Too bad the article was so short as I really enjoyed it. I felt like I had just started eating a candy bar when it fell out of my hand and hit the dirt.

The concept of a physical back up is not new. Recorded tape is physical. Still, the idea of tape players in use in the future is certainly a statement. (Vice the idea that hard drives, blu ray disks, etc.. wont be used in the future.)
 
BTW: If you haven't seen Sonic Highways Music Documentry / clever marketing for an album , get out from under that rock, shower, and go have a look and listen.
 
We have a rule of thumb at the Tape Project Forum. Of course, store your tapes vertically, tails out. But annually, rewind the tape and play it (so it ends up tails out). That will help keep the tape the best condition. If you have a lot of tapes, this can take long time (since it is done in real (or reel) time).

Don't get me wrong; it's still one of my favorite albums. But I wonder how it would have sounded, if he didn't do that whole quiet-loud-quiet thing. He used the rough mix of Rid Of Me, to show Nirvana how he would record In Utero.

But...it did prompt 4-Track Demos; so that's a good thing :)
