Analog is the new black. Digital is the current shit.
Digital-ity equates to increased complexity of devices that offer users many viable options of entertainment and communication whatsoever. Unfortunately, I think the more digital we get, the worse digital stuff becomes. Whatever happened to good, solid ANALOG equipment?
Big majority of people are scrambling for the iPhone, OMNIA and what not. I don't quite see the point just yet. I pretty much feel every new fragment of technology is overhyped to a point when people over look its practicality and opt to get it for the sake of being part of the culture of technology.
Sure, technology and digital things make life easier in many senses. High demand for technology = brands needed to increase output = sending manufacturing duties to countries where the quality of goods is pathetic. I really respect companies who maintain their high standards in this day and age. Thermoinic, Zebranalogic, Landgraff to name a few. High quality equipment that will last.
Think about it. Why do people want 'VINTAGE' stuff? its for the basic fact that these things last long, and longer than most current productions. Especially in music. With digital, there's not much feeling that can go into whats being played. An amp modeller will never be able to act the same way as the amp thats being modelled after.
Oh and one more thing. Today's music in general is pretty much boring. There are too many teenage pop rock bands with singers who sounds relatively similar to each other. I bet if you were to switch them around, you'd hardly notice the difference. I certainly hope the days of playing good and simple music aren't dead.
