Digital Audio Tape (DAT or R-DAT) is a signal recording and playback medium developed by Sony and introduced in 1987.[1] In appearance it is similar to a Compact Cassette, using 3.81 mm / 0.15" (commonly referred to as 4mm) magnetic tape enclosed in a protective shell, but is roughly half the size at 73 mm × 54 mm × 10.5 mm. As the name suggests, the recording is digital rather than analog. DAT has the ability to record at higher, equal or lower sampling rates than a CD (48, 44.1 or 32 kHz sampl
FYE finally got in the copy I reserved of the 2-disc remastered reissue of Death's third album Spiritual Healing <3 I've gotta say, the Relapse Records Death reissue series is by far the best remaster/reissue series in recent memory. unlike a lot of remasters/reissues that are put out without the knowledge or approval of the band, the various former members as well as the family of the late Chuck Schuldiner himself are directly involved, and the remastering is generally not a radical depa
the NECA Terminator Kyle Reese I ordered arrived today. pretty impressed with it overall, although the particular figure I got suffers from an unfortunate manufacturing error where his left foot slants upward and prevents him from standing without something wedged underneath it (such as a penny, as seen in the first terrible photo). but otherwise it's good, especially for the $9.99 price tag.

(click for larger image) 180 gram double LP in gatefold packaging, featuring the full 12-track album remastered from the original tapes. only my second vinyl purchase ever, but it was just $25 brand new at FYE. couldn't pass it up.
that's right, last night I rewatched the original Friday the 13th! regardless of all the movies and shows he's done or his numerous Hollywood connections, I'll always remember Kevin Bacon as the guy who got stabbed in the throat with an arrow from underneath the bed.
picked this up for a mere $4 in excellent condition. best price I've gotten on a double album since I found The Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness for $5 a few years back.
the awakening, that is. just got back from The Force Awakens. instead of talking about how much I liked it, here's my ranking for the Star Wars film series from best to worst: 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. The Force Awakens 3. Star Wars (AKA A New Hope) 4. Return of the Jedi 5. Revenge of the Sith 6. Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure 7. Ewoks: The Battle for Endor 8. The Phantom Menace 9. The Star Wars Holiday Special 10. the Clone Wars theatrical movie 11. the instructional VHS that cam
normally I don't go for these "Original Album Series" box sets because they don't include booklets and the discs are packaged in cheap cardboard sleeves, but I found this on eBay and had to get it. all three of the Sisters' studio albums - First and Last and Always, Floodland, and Vision Thing - plus the collection of early EPs and singles Some Girls Wander by Mistake and the greatest hits compilation A Slight Case of Overbombing packaged together - basically the Sisters of Mercy's entire disc
this past Tuesday marked the release of another shameful record label cash-grab Michael Jackson posthumous "album" consisting of songs that Jackson rejected and likely never would've wanted released, updated to modern pop radio "standards" and featuring vocals that may or may not even be the real King of Pop himself. like anyone who legitimately respected the man as an entertainer, instead of supporting corporate greed and the desecration of his legacy I've elected to use this occasion as an e
those absolutely horrid CD "cases" that are literally just thin cardboard sleeves that they somehow expect you to slide the discs in and out of without scratching them which is, like, impossible seriously I have 3 CDs that just came out THIS YEAR and they're already scratched because of those wretched things
okay so it's a few days late but that's the postal service's fault. I almost pre-ordered this from their UK webstore for about $40 USD when it was first announced. thankfully I didn't, because less than a month after it was released, I was able to get it from Amazon for $20. great set. I'm pretty sure the DVD is region-locked so it won't work for me, but I bought it for the CDs anyway. I'm a bit iffy on Judgement's remastering, but it's still great to finally own these albums, especial
proving once again that he has excellent taste in music, Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski recruited electronic music artist Anthony Gonzalez and his project M83 (whose release Hurry Up, We're Dreaming was my pick for 2011 album of the year) to create the soundtrack for his upcoming science fiction film Oblivion along with Joseph Trapanese (the score composer who had previously assisted Daft Punk on Tron Legacy), and the resulting album has been officially released on CD and digital download
