This isn't something cool or funny, just gratuitous cute.

Lots more here.

Juliette Gréco - St-Germain-des-Prés on ITMS. My mum handed me a stack of around 20 records to digitize, and I'd rather procure digital copies than spend the time ripping her 30-50 year old vinyl. Joke's on me, the ITMS copy has audible vinyl pops in it.

There's five of these and they're each about two minutes long. Of course, the forum software will only allow me to post two.

8 Reasons Why Vinyl Is Cleaner Than the Cloud... Apologies if this has been posted before, I didn't wade through all 43 pages of this thread.

WTF, Japan Germany?

Utterly NSFW, but kind of amusing.

Some friends of mine came back from LA last week, and I hung out with them and did some photo geeking. Old Time Eddy, posing in his darkroom. Those are rolls of B&W 120 film behind him. Worked over substantially in Photoshop using the Silver Efex Pro plugin. I used the Ilford PAN F Plus 50 film type and "Antique Plate I" style. I then converted it to grayscale and applied a medium gray quadtone. Photo was taken with Eddy's 5D and my 17-40L. Strobes were a 580EX on-body in TTL mode, and a 580EX II at 1/32nd power about 18" out on the left, bouncing off a white card. In spite being a dozen years my junior, Eddy regularly shows me up with his photography skills. He's shot 35mm film, 4x5" large format, and is now using a 1950s vintage Rolleicord TLR I gave him a year ago. Check out his Flickr page to see his work. Strictly speaking, this is a terribly exposed shot. I was futzing with Eddy's 5D, my 17-40L, and two 580EX speedlites. I had one mounted on the camera, and the other slaved (sort of). Jair is flipping me off because he's sick of getting blinded by the second strobe. The colors on the original were kind of awful, so I converted it to black & white and worked over the levels quite a bit. In spite of all of that, it's kind of an amusing shot. Jair and Rosie contemplate the pool table. Taken with Eddy's 5D and my Nikkor E series 75-150mm F/3.5 zoom, shot through the glass door of the Pula's smoking lounge.

I'm pretty sure that's not how one uses a mouse.

I was about to go all Animal Mother on Guzzi, then I remembered that Full Metal Jacket is based on Dispatches.
