Okay, many years ago I worked at a record store, and every couple of years we would have to do a rescan. The rescan is a process like taking inventory, but instead of counting how may used CDs versus how many new, you would actually scan the barcode on every item in the store. This whole process takes about three 16-18 hour days with two people scanning continiously. The first day is always chill, but then halfway into the second day starts to get wacky. T-Gar and myself were drinking sparks non-stop and there is only soo much monotonous work, with contant beeping, a human being can take, while both intoxicated and on a sugar rush, on almost no sleep until your mind loses it. Among the tons of weird shit we would do, we started listening to records at different speeds. Some Girls played at 33, instead of 45, sounds like the most brutal punk band ever and wayy more epic then Tragedy or even His Hero Is Gone. My most favorite of these wrong speed records, Earth. Usually they are a snails pace stoner band, but when played at 45, instead of 33, they magically turn into the most awesome instrumental indie band you've never heard! Do yourself a favor, order this record online, don't sleep, get drunk, drink coffee and listen to this record at 45rpm! Amazing!
