Where did Sonic Nurse go???

choc e-Claire · 12.03.2018, 03:06 AM

I'm going back through the discography, and I was up to Sonic Nurse...except it's not there on Spotify.

I did a search for it, looked at the band's page, attempted to search for a song off it. Nothing.

Anyone know? (Maybe it's a regional thing?)

Severian · 12.03.2018, 08:46 AM

Still in my CD collection, so I’m doing OK.

_tunic_ · 12.03.2018, 09:07 AM

here's a YT playlist of the Sonic Nurse album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Ka...Hp3j7sIrd97VAf

enjoy!

Sheesh, for a moment there you people had me worried sick that Sonic Youth wouldn't get their $0.006 to $0.0084 per stream. Phew!

We should be supporting artists more, I know. And I'm definitely going to buy the stuff, at least eventually.

It pisses me off that everyone says 'why would you buy CDs when you have Spotify?'. For one, there's always the chance an artist will (justifiably) flip their shit and take it all off. Then there's the nice feeling you get of supporting someone, and the general niceness of owning a physical CD (or vinyl).

Not to mention that small pesky matter of QUALITY. ALL of Spotify is lossless as fuck, but their shit for Android/iPhone/iPad is just ridiculous:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotif...al_information

TWENTY-FOUR kbps? (Not to be confused with 24 bit, mind you.) Are you fucking kidding me? That's even worse than the worst bitrate used by Pono to indicate the shittiest sound quality available on streaming services:

Of course, if anybody just fucking hate their own ears (and their whole beings, really) with a vengeance, less power to 'em — go be happy like pigs in SHIT.

wrong illustration there

these are the correct ones

The Soup Nazi · 12.04.2018, 11:22 PM

Nothing better to do, huh. I thought you were still jamming that goat.

Like Trump, you keep going lower. Since the SYG equivalent of impeachment —getting you banned from the board for being a fucking troll— is as knotty as, well, impeachment, it's high time to simply:

Ahhh, so that's where the 24kbps came from

Can't really complain though if you're not paying I guess

man, but for real - I had no idea about this stuff.

My current plan is to get rid of all CDs/LPs in the new apartment where I'm moving (because of lack of storage space) and just stream Spotify via receiver and good pair of speakers.

Am I doing a mistake?

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 12.05.2018, 09:01 AM

^ Slavo, if you get Spotify premium, it's 320kbps

320kbps should be indiscernible from flac unless you have super-human hearing

I always recommend getting Google Play Music/Youtube Premium for $10 a month instead of Spotify though. It's 2 services for the price of one - PLUS it allows you to upload local music files and stream 'em anywhere which I find especially neat

Or there's always Tidal for 'audiophile streaming', but...

AHA ! That's the difference. I have Spotify Premium, of course.

Shame the marketing for Pono was the equivalent of an old man shouting at a cloud (basically wht you're doing) and has done fuck all. I love Neil Young but man, he handled that one terribly.

That is the dumbest thing I've heard in my life. The difference fucking LEAPS out of the speakers — even on my regular, middle-of-the-road Sony stereo.

Don't bother replying, by the way. This whole "discussion"

has turned into enough of a soul-sucking black hole of stupidity already.

!@#$%! · 12.05.2018, 05:43 PM

320kpbs or whatever i can listen on a camel in mongolia and not have to have a caravan of more camels with a turntable and crates of vinyl following behind

most of the music i play is either at work in the office or over drinks in the kitchen or in the truck while driving somewhere

very rarely do i ever sit with good headphones just listening and doing absolutely nothing else like a concert hall except in concert halls there is always some coughing asshole and when one starts everyone else bandwagons so as not to take up the blame later (the sound of perfection)

please take my records for free if you want them

they're stored in some room

the hiss is a bug not a feature

the toblerone player failed

even cds are bulky and unwieldy

aac works for me no placebo required

my identity or sense of self do not rest on a codec or resolution thank fuck

and i don’t need to shit on anyone to prop it up
