The General Chatter/Off Topic Thread

I have this weird thing that I’ve picked up over the last few years which is picking up really DIY CD* releases at charity shops and trying to archive them via ripping + MusicBrainz. MB Collection here. NZ releases only, more or less. I’ve really overdone it travelling recently and have a stack of like 30 really crappy (promising!!) CD’s on the desk…

Anyway I’ve posted some mini reviews on the social and I might share a couple:

Rating: Doesn’t sound like 16 people playing accordion at once (disappointing)
Of note: Text on back reads “Formed in 1972 when there were five accordion orchestras in Christchurch, this orchestra is the sole survivor”. FIVE. What a time.

*DIY CD’s: an archaic art, popular during a very narrow band of human history
