Ryan 0:43 How's it going, Quincy? How's your week going? Quincy 0:44 It's going pretty good. I got a new audio cassette and I recently purchased a very nice used tape deck. I don't know if I told you about this yet. Ryan 0:58 I don't think you have. Please tell me of your tape deck. Quincy 1:01 I bought it at a Nashville Goodwill. So it's and what I've discovered is Goodwills, especially in the Nashville metro area, are starting to have old country music stars' stuff in them. So there's a lot of you know, there's you know, a surplus of John Wayne and Roy Orbison, like video cassettes but there's also high end stereo equipment. So what I have is a tape deck that is supposed to be hooked in to a soundboard to make an audio recording of the sound. Ryan 1:48 Holy shit. That's-- Quincy 1:51 So I've also been able to hook this up to my cell phone and want to make mixtapes with a vaporwave. Unknown Speaker 1:59 Man honestly vaporwave I feel like quarantine has been a great time for vaporwave, comma, lo fi hip hop beats to relax-slash-study to like this has been a great period for everybody getting back into lo fi in a way I really appreciate. Quincy 2:14 Have you heard the Coronavirus vaporwave album? Unknown Speaker 2:18 No, but I'm furiously googling it right now. I need this... Quincy 2:22 It's called... Ryan 2:26 Wow, Quincy 2:26 I can't read this band's name out loud because it's just random Japanese kanji and and words, but it's just a whole vaporwave album themed around the Coronavirus. Ryan 2:39 See this is, honestly, I've realized like music in quarantine has become a thing that's become really important to me in the regard that like, because I you know, I live in a house with you know, two other people. And so, during the day when all of us are going about our various like activities and we're working, everybody's kind of plugged into into our headphones because like you don't want to be that person in the house just like blasting music when everybody else is just like trying to vibe or trying to concentrate. And so lately for me, I... Quincy, what do you know about the band Wormrot? Have you heard of Wormrot? Quincy 3:11 I have not heard about Wormrot, tell me more. Ryan 3:13 Wormrot, you specifically need this band in your life. They are a Singaporean grindcore band. And they're they're just fucking phenomenal, like I've been so I've been doing a technique lately where I do the Pomodoro Technique like 25 minutes on working five minutes taking a break. And I've been combining this with listening to either death metal or grindcore because it's like just enough of a pounding beat to kind of keep me chugging forward, but not in like the melody and lyrics aren't enough that I can get distracted by them because it's just a sort of like brown noise at a certain point. Quincy 3:46 It's also especially helpful because most grindcore albums are only 25 minutes long. Ryan 3:51 Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Like grindcore especially like I love so much. Now Napalm Death, especially. I love what they eventually turned into. But when you go back and listen to those early Napalm Death records,...
