It’s the Birdflu - Rockin the Alpaca Socks in the Style Lounge

Author: Sonar  //  Category: Just Blogging, Music, Past Events, Stone Groove

DJ Birdflu took the liberty of hooking up a cassette tape deck in the Charleston Fashion Week “Style Lounge” and recording a portion of his set that set the tone for the rest of fashion week. (For those young readers of the blog who have not seen a cassette tape here’s what one is.) I was very excited that Birdflu asked me to put this up on the Stone Groove Podcast. He did an awesome set for the whole time he was in the style lounge. Anyway, I did not do anything to the audio except take it straight from the tape to .mp3. So you will hear some tape crackle and noise, but that just adds to the authenticity of a real vinyl DJ like Birdflu.

Clean Your Old LPs With Wood Glue

Author: Sonar  //  Category: Just Blogging

Found a very interesting way to use wood glue to clean the dust, debris, and other sorts of crud out of your old LPs. The picture above is from the Audio Karma website and shows a before and after shot from one audio-gear enthusiast while testing the wood glue cleaning method. The results speak for themselves. Here is a link to the forum posting on Audio Karma. Upon further googling there is actually this video showing the wood glue method.
