atari2600land's Blog - Happy September!

[RSS Bot]

I can't believe it's September already. August sure did go fast, didn't it? Well, anyway, went out shopping earlier and got a Queens of the Stone Age 33 RPM picture disc. It was weird, because it's the same size as a 45 rpm and so I started playing it at that speed and it sounded like girls were singing it. Since I've never heard of the band before, I thought girls *were* singing it (being as how the band is named Queens of the Stone Age) so I kept listening to it. Then, I tried lowering it to 33 RPM and it sounded much better. Why would a band put out a record shaped like a 45 rpm record but plays the same speed as a 33 1/3 rpm and then not tell you it's supposed to play at 33 1/3 rpm? Weird.
