I've personally reached the point where the sound of MP3s are so uncompelling, because so much is lost in translation.
Most people have no idea what something would sound like if it wasn't an MP3.
Digital sound is damaging music; it's damaging the artists. It's so degrading.
Early CDs, I found, flattened out the sound - it took away all the highs.
It takes only one bad amp to turn your ears to oatmeal: That's how old hippies became Yanni fans.
You can find the greatest sound of all time, and someone's going to squash it down to a tiny little earphone anyway or play it through the computer, and that is a big thing people have to think about now.
I used to link up boom boxes, record one take, play it into another boom box then play all that back into the other one until I had six tracks. It was unlistenable!
That's one of the problems with the Zeppelin stuff. It sounds ridiculous on MP3. You can't hear what's there properly.
From 'The Money Store,' 'I've Seen Footage' seems to run the beats from Tone Loc's 'Wild Thing' and Salt-n-Pepa's 'Push It' through a rusty meat grinder.
