Holy Shit, Everyone Just Got Fucked On By Behringer

[popvulture]

lolololol

Brings to mind a conversation from years ago:

Me: Got a new place today.
Friend: Cool, who are you living with?
M: Oh it's just me. Got a studio.
F: Dude, sweet. 24 hour wack shack.

Yep, I am not early adopter for almost anyone's new tech.

I let someone else's ear lie bleeding on the floor first!

Yup. So many products are rushed to market and arrive prematurely. Others you can see planned-obsolescence already on the horizon.
I still have yet to buy or own a single hd dvd or bluray. Maybe when they hit garage sales.
I did get into MD late in its life...which still felt early, publically...like 98-2004 as a cassette alternative for field recording in-a-pocket, mobile playlists, sampling and so on. Still have a bunch of the hardware and discs, which can be interesting. It's a lossy, proprietary digital format/encoding whose curves can be exploited as a subtle effect. But nothing worth chasing, paying for if you don't already have it. I have like 2 Sonys and a Sharp. They aren't even compatible with each other. It's obsolete tech for good reason but If it suddenly comes back in vogue I'll be like HIPSTER PLS MD RULZ #1 BUY ONE OF MY RECORDERS FOR $300

Maybe Behringer is fucking on the corpses of their competitors (being how market breaking this could be)

But who are they fucking, then?

My read: Behringer is fucking us on the fully-alive, alert and oriented bodies of their competitors. Like, 'Oh no, Behringer is pleasuring our customers in a way that we never thought possible, and all we can do is lay here and get sweat or other excretions dripped into our mouths which are agape with wonder and confusion.'

Please clarify and confirm, PV.

What was someone writing a little bit ago about bots trolling for reactions to this synth? One can only hope this thread makes its way back to the cyborg overlords at Behringer headquarters in the Phillipines. Evil mechanical moustache twirl.

Wouldn't be surprised. I half-jokingly remember a time when the idea of vinyl resurgence (as a consumer format, not performance or "for rarities you can't get anywhre else") or cassette was laughable.

I'm still waiting for 8-track tapes....because...the Eagles Greatest Hits need a new issue.

"You got fucked on" was some weird DC insult/slang i picked up in my wilder youth. I always envisioned it meant you played the mattress, but i like Strange Tales interpretation better and will imagine that from now on when i say it. "Your corpse has been/will be ground up into the dirt upon which i have my weird and unruly sex life, asshole."


I think the beauty of slang-insults like this is that the listener understands the meaning is derogatory, and creates their own details in their head. It's like insulting people, but less work than coming up with an exact kind of shit that they are.

I still have my Complete Tubular Bells on 8 Track. Anyone want it? Only $50.

Make Behringer great again.

You Played The Mattress sounds like it would be the one swoopy haircut band from the early 00's that actually got laid.

I guess it would be typset as 'youplayedthemattress', though

There's a terrible guitar for it over in the "ugly gear" thread.

I knew it had to be made for somebody!

Speaking of which: There's been a disturbingly low level of casecandy lately.

Thread delivers.

I grew up not far from DC and I knew a couple guys who used "fucked down" and "I'll fuck you down", although afaik this usage was not widespread.

Busy leveling up in Macklemore scholarship?

The kind of knowledge you only get from walking into the frozen tundra with Thrift Shop on endless repeat.
