Save the analog system -heros! I have a lot in my attik , cant true them away A lot of films and players Och I long to see them again Please help! I cant get it funktion together with my computor
I know I am old fashioned, but I absolutely believe in the value of experiences that produce a physical object. I tell my students (I teach neuroscience), the brain evolved to allow us to do 3 things: generate a perception of what we are experiencing, a sense of meaning of our experiences, and an ability to engage in adaptive behavior. The behavior part is what is lost when we solely rely on digital outcomes. We have nothing to physically interact with.
i had a talk with lily about her new old camera the other day before she shot the promo and told her that once you see how analog recording 'feels' (not just looks but FEELS) you never really want to go back to the digital circus of the modern age. she didn't really understand what I meant until after she started playing around with the medium and now she won't shut up in my DMs about how much she loves VHS lofi aesthetics. lol
i told her to find an old mid-range camcorder a few months back and she could not have found a better one for this project. 14 bucks and those things sell on ebay for 200-300 each so she made out like a bandit on this
Great, now I have to go into my closet and pull that box down from the top of the shelf and re-watch my terrible VHS videos. The other day I was thinking about memories and how pictures, real pictures are a part of that. Back in the day, say 1990, it cost about $12 for film another $12 to develope the 36 pictures, as it was a family vacation thing you got doubles just in case. So $30 for a roll start to finish. When you picked up your film from some drug store and went through the pictures there were only about six that were worth sharing. In today's money I had just spent over $80 for 6 (12 with doubles) fucking pictures. That my friends is freaking commitment. Look at your phone and all those pictures. Now multiply times $8.00. And somewhere in this house is a VHS player that I hope still works. I can hear my wife now as 71 year old me is rummaging through closets and cabinets. "Honey, what the hell are you looking for?" But I will be able to re-live those twelve laps I did driving a NASCAR racecar ( which spelled backwards is racecar).
Boy oh boy did I travel back in- time. Way back to the 80’s.. I once too owed a cassette tape recorder where we filmed with no sound.. good old- times. Thank you for the memories!!
Me: Yeah, the Cult of the Lamb. They're on the Internet, so they're legitimate. Their AI spokesman is some Aryan gal. She needed space, so she recorded over an Austrian. I think that's code for something. *
Completely agree. We need to go back. Ah the joys of editing film with an Exacto blade and physical tape! And actually spinning records you had to carefully blend with the finishing record so there was never any 'dead air.' My husband, an architect, still comments on how thankful he is to have learned it all using a slide ruler on a gigantic table that we had to heft with us every time we moved. Kids are missing out on so much today that would help them better understand the world around them. I only read things on the computer because I have to. I much prefer holding and smelling a book. There's nothing better.
I thought I could not adore you more - I was wrong. You are incrediby gifted and cute as a button. I hate myself as I wote that - I've seen very few cute buttons. I did foster a baby bird that this past weekend that is beyond adorable - a Swinhoe white-eye. You are as cute as a Swinhoe.

I also see college age students who are starved for non digital experiences. Once exposed, they are hooked.
I saw the promo earlier and wondered how y'all processed it so it looked like it was on video tape. Joke's on me!
Yes, less digital and more analog, physical things. Pen and paper, photographic film, books, etc.

Ma: What?!
Me: Yeah, the Cult of the Lamb. They're on the Internet, so they're legitimate. Their AI spokesman is some Aryan gal. She needed space, so she recorded over an Austrian. I think that's code for something. *

Are you sure we cannot just go back to cuneiform? It has great permanence! Especially if fired by the ashes of a civilization....
