sonsofvipers Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I can't be the only one who does this when they're bored.. what are your favorite records to spin at a speed other than intended? Playing hardcore or metal sped up to 45rpm is always hilarious. This thread was sparked by listening to Washed Out-Life of Leisure slowed down to 33rpm. rudeboydh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My friend and I used to listen to Jackson 5 45s at 33 and became convinced that a group of older people recorded the music then sped it up to sound like little kids. I got these crazy techno albums from this guy who used them as padding in a mailer when I bought an album from him that are insane slowed down.

almightyseancore Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 sometimes i'll put on something i don't play a lot and won't even notice it's on the wrong speed until the vocals start. hudsoncomplex, youspinmeround and rudeboydh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 That happens to me a lot. I hate 7's that don't specify the speed. Especially instrumental stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially instrumental stuff. i have a few where the labeled speed is incorrect. 764-HERO's "high school poetry" is like this, so is my knapsack 'trainwrecker' 7".

Reminds me that I need to pick up some 764 Hero stuff. Damn Up Records for not having a webstore anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 also singles where the b-side is a different speed than the a-side. whats up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnstypls Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'll go ahead and embarass myself so you all can get a laugh. I bought the new Loma Prieta album IV at Hot Topic completely blind. I had never heard the record and had no idea how they sounded, but went ahead and bought the LP because I had HT Cash and I love everything Deathwish puts out. I had no clue the LP was a 45 until months later when I used my download card LOL... the best part is, now that I know that it's a 45, I find myself hardly ever listening to it... its much more brutal slowed down haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeMoreGlass Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Styx - Kilroy was here...Mr. Roboto on 45 speed is amazing! I used to listen to this when I was younger and my dad had a record player and for some reason I thought that it was how the record was supposed to sound...I was so bummed when I listened to it the way it is supposed to be because it was soooo slow.

3arl Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Playing 33s at 45 answers the question, "What would it sound like if Alvin and the Chipmunks covered songs by my favorite bands?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I have an album from either Sunn or Earth that is 45/33 and it drives me insane a few of those flaming lips 2011 collabs do this. and neither side is labeled so you totally just have to guess. i can figure out a few by looking at the grooves, but not every one.

zacaroo21 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Listen to "handcuffs" off TDAG at 45...it's crazy cool. Basically it sounds like Adelle playing brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 A long time ago I got a free record thrown in an order that literally did not have the name of the band or the record title anywhere on the packaging. It was a 45rpm record, but I listened to it on 33 trying to figure out who or what it was. When I finally figured it out, I learned I was playing it at the wrong speed and it actually sucked ass at the real speed. Can't remember the album, some crappy metalcore.
