5/6/2023 0 Comments Wasting light 33 rpm versionAnd since I fucking HATE Fine Young Cannibals, I should really fucking hate this cover, as The Buzzcocks are one of my favorite bands of all time, and their original version of this song may very well be my favorite song of all time (although I could honestly never pick ONE song as a favorite. It’s nice to know that some things in life remain constant no matter what. And if you know how many remixes I have, that’s really saying something. This is straight up the best remix I’ve ever heard. Secondly, a few of my favorite songs are now available legally (mostly Depeche Mode stuff) and since I never post stuff you can buy legally, I won’t be reposting those. Like I said, I’m planning a lot of genre/artist-specific posts, so some of my all-time favorite songs have been reserved for those posts. As always, my re-recordings always sound better than my original rips, I’m always improving with this stuff after all.Ī lot of these “best of” posts will be artist or genre based, but I thought I’d start things off with a showstopper, my most favorite tracks out of everything I’ve ever posted* So keep an eye out, I’ll typically mention it if they are. Some of the tracks I’ll be posting in the coming month or so will be re-recordings. Which is why I’m temporarily taking Lost Turntable into “greatest hits” mode, re-posting favorite tracks from the years gone by, both chosen by me and some readers who made requests (although to be honest, it’s mostly me). That, and my turntable won’t be with me in Tokyo for at least a month. I will, however, be too busy to record new music for a while. I’ll never be too busy to stop writing this blog. Don’t worry though, I’m not going anywhere. I assume that adjusting to my move and starting my new job will probably keep me occupied for a bit. This will definitely be the last post at Lost Turntable this year, and probably the last post for at least a week or two. It’s amazing what a combination of personal malaise and disillusionment with the direction of one’s country can do for one’s drive and ability to commit. But I think I made the decision to sell my house, quit my job and uproot my entire existence to Japan in about two days. It’s funny, when I remodeled my kitchen a few years back I spent two damn weeks going over color combinations. Jump in head first or don’t bother, that’s always been how I handle the big changes. But waffling is for suckers, go big or go home. I can’t believe it took me just a little over a year (369 days, to be exact) to manage a way to not only return to the country, but get a job, apartment, and a whole new life over there! That’s not a lot of time to plan and orchestrate something that big. If you read this blog on a regular basis, you know that I am beyond stoked for this move. I started it in China acting as the best man in my best friend’s wedding! From there, I went to Tokyo, which set upon a series of events that now have me moving to Japan in just a few short days! This Thursday I leave Pittsburgh to visit my family in Ohio, and then on Saturday I board a plane for Japan, where I begin my career as an English teacher/professional giant.
