hey everbody
i made a new video. it's about how stereo sound works on vinyl records.
please provide me with positive reinforcement for holding back on chastising the youngins for continuing to call records "vinyls"
also please never ever do that you heathens
anyway, here's the linky-dink (i'm giving you, like, 10 minutes early access!)
@hunterking I'm becoming less prescriptivist as I age but this one MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE because "vinyl" is a /material/ and not all records are vinyl!
Besides just that, it's like calling a pair of jeans "a denim" or your computer a "personal"
I'm OK with saying "I have that on vinyl" but the thing itself is not a vinyl. It is a record, and I will unendingly grumble about this at least in my head.
@TechConnectify @hunterking Back in the early 90s, I was in a record shop (a place where you bought music but didn't actually have any records) and asked for a particular album.
The clerk laughed and laughed at the word "album" because they only had cds, not "albums", not understanding that an album is a collection of items and not its physical form.
@mikej @TechConnectify I've definitely seen "record albums" thrown around by older people advertising garage sales.
It's kind of fun how this stuff happens, like how VCRs have somehow become "VHS players"
@hunterking @TechConnectify In addition to record albums, there are "photo albums".
When referring to music, "album" feels the most form agnostic. Vinyl, CD, mp3, tape, as long as it is an associated collection of "tracks" (another potentially troublesome word.)
