Squeeze Box on a FP record player. If only your parents knew
I was 12 when that first came out. It was the first time I was aware of the Who. People at school kept talking about "Pete Townshend" and I never knew what they were talking about.
My sister and I used to somewhat corrupt the opening lines.....
on my Fisher Price player.
I used to work with these kids and one of them used to call me Fisher Price. I never knew why, but he and his little crew of 10 year olds used to burst into mass laughter. It was actually quite funny in a mystical sort of way.
I had an experiance the other day which mirror what Greg said (at least i think it was Greg)
During a guitar class i asked a new student which Blink 182 tracks he liked and guess what he said. Yeppers you got it
"I don't know what they're called i just like them"
Sad but true
Up until the mid 80s, I knew the names of every song I had on record. But from about '87 on when I got into christian rock, Indian music, jazz fusion and Irish folk, most of the songs I have, I couldn't tell you the names. I know the songs intimately and well, but I haven't a clue as to what many of them are called. When I look up the names, they're often unfamiliar !
I can't even remember the names of some of my own songs. Sometimes I'll get an idea for one and as I go to hum it in the dictaphone I'll start by saying "bassline for 'such and such' " or whatever the song is called or whatever the instrument part is. But sometimes I'm stumped as to what it's called !
To get that needle on a record effect.
Try this. It's FREE too.
I remember when I first got
Sampletank and among the effects is one called "Phonograph" which is basically the sound of scratches on a record. It reminded me of the start of a song by Laurnea that is supposed to simulate a scratched record. It always sounds so fake to me. At the time, I thought it was so funny that for 40 years, the moves were to get away from the inherent noise of analog and towards a 'clean' sound and when it was finally achieved, some of the very sounds that digital was developed to eradicate were then sought under the guise of some kind of authenticity.
I can't say I ever actually
liked the sound of a needle scratching vinyl. I didn't
dislike it, it was just what it was and what was there. As a sound in itself, I don't miss it anymore than I'd miss that tunnel~y sound of a badly done MP3 or the buzzing of AM radio.
