Now I want to got to New York just to see this place. The music at #HotClub isn't on #vinyl because instead it's on #shellac

Retour aux basiques : Shellac.
Le son est un peu pérave mais du coup on entends hyper bien la guitare de Albini.
ET je n'avais jamais remarqué sa façon d'attaché le strap de sa guitare autour de sa taille, du coup il n'a pas de poids sur l'épaule. Aucune idée si c'est mieux ou pas, mais c'est marrant.
SHELLAC – Full Live Concert 4K @ Le Chabada, Angers, France – June 4th, 2019
Well, I had an anxiety dream last night about this.
I made a salad out of shattered fragments of shellac and my wife was eating it and saying how much it tasted like vinyl. All the time I was worrying what was actually in shellac and whether or not it would kill her.
Hmmm.
Got to love the old school website too 
Good to see they are still going strong after 28 years!
If anybody is interested in the EV-1 there is a video demo here.
Help required please. Lend me your ears....
If anybody has a spare 8 minutes I'd love to hear what you think the best sounding of these two are.
The first is a straight recording direct off the turnable with no tweaking at all.

The second has a 12.4KHz Low Pass filter applied.

Thanks!
Recording: The New Orleans Rhythm Kings - Panama Foxtrot 1934 Brunswick 78rpm
Awaiting the rain again with Shellac, Terraform. A little loud this morning but with good cause since this record is so much fun.

SHELLAC
1000 Hurts
2000 UK + U.S. Box pressing
Long live Steve Albini.
First time in a LONG time that I’ve spun this huge, nasty, pummeling classic from front to back.
Essential.
Vinyl?
Vinyl?
Nah, I’m waiting for shellac 78s to come back.
Better still wax cylinders.
Vegan warning: I just bought a big, expensive bag of Tierra Farm organic chocolate covered almonds and I neglected to check the ingredients. Tierra Farm coats their confections with shellac made from the secretions of the female lac beetle in a process that crushes the beetles. All just to make their food needlessly shiny. #vegan #confectionersglaze #lac #crystalac #shellac
