I skimmed through a few "All Led Zeppelin Songs Ranked" articles and was surprised how different everyone of them was.

I've read that Thurston Moore still prefers cassette over any other medium, which strikes me as total hipster stance. If you grant that analogue is a better sound ("warmer"), then vinyl gives you that and you can still bounce from song to song. Digital is more convenient for choosing songs and total amount you can carry around. But cassette? It can be portable like digital, but it's always the worst option for finding what you want to listen to. There is really no upside to cassette over the other two besides being a contrary hipster dork.

I read an interview with him about it and he says that he prefers the way the tape distorts and gives character to the music over time. It's actually a plausible explanation, I guess, when you consider Sonic Youth's aesthetic, but it buries the needle far too deep in the direction of "the medium is the message" for my taste.

That's probably the best argument one could muster for cassettes, tho there's an admission that it's gonna take awhile for the desired effect. In the meantime, you've got … a fucking cassette to deal with.

I was into being an uncreative anonymous loser before anyone else thought of it.

Hello,

So, being a contrary hipster dork is bad, right? I'm asking for a friend.

We really missed out not naming this “Thread Zeppelin.”

Oh, and, off the dome:

1. When the Levee Breaks

That would’ve been tougher if I allowed myself to think hard.
