I was reading another site today that had pictures and one of them was a picture with a caption along the lines of "Me and a friend of mine at a SuperDrag show", and I originally thought "Huh, that must be an old picture."
After searching around online, I'm guessing it was from the Chicago Metro show of the
Superdrag reunion tour.
I won't be able to make any of the shows so I've become comfortably bummed.
Yet another great guitar rock band of the 90s destroyed by major labels.
They might not realize it yet, but with the internet these days, record labels are obsolete.
I'd buy all my music online if it were available in a lossless format like
FLAC.
MP3 and AAC don't cut it unless they are very high bitrates. I'm not an audiophile, but I can still hear "underwater cymbal shimmer" on drums with 192 kbit/s MP3s on laptop speakers. It is the same reason I haven't subscribed to satellite radio. Don't get me started on
dynamic range compression on most new records, or the lack of use of stereo panning in new recordings, with the exception of the guitar solos in
Tarantula's by the
Smashing Pumpkins on their
latest album.
On certain things, I am a grumpy old man in a new technology world, believe it or not.
I like vinyl albums and tube amps, for more than just guitar, too.
