currently spinning: remy zero – the golden hum
it’s nice being home and listening to CDs on a cd boombox instead of on my crappy computer speakers. I’ve decided once I get out and make some money, I want to get myself a decent stereo system, so I can enjoy my music the way it was meant to be listened to!!
speaking of “how it was meant to be listened to,” here’s an interesting factoid about the marriage of car sound systems and motown records. when cars were becoming popular in the 40s and 50s, they (naturally) did not come with radios. but as rock and roll became more and more popular, the radio began to seem like rather an essential. Knowing this, motown records would purposely engineer their potential singles to sound good in dem car speakers. The folks at Hitsville, USA certainly knew how to work the market. =)
