“So, you know when you find the PERFECT mate on your favorite online dating site?”
“You know, that perfectly adorable single guy/gal with the perfect job…the well-balanced one who works out just the right number of times per week (without being obsessive about it), shares your hobbies and the food you like, enjoys an adventure here and there but is not so adventurous they can’t be in a relationship, loves your favorite band…etc., etc., etc…PERFECT, right?
So, you go on a date. And it’s the most boring night EVER. Cleaning your toilet is more exciting.
So, you know when you’re out and happen to meet the eyes of a mysterious stranger. You immediately feel an inexplicable chemistry. You speak to one another and immediately realize NOTHING can stand in the way of the connection you feel.
So what if he/she lives halfway across the country, has a couple of kids, drinks a little too much, his/her face isn’t entirely symmetrical, etc., etc., etc…WRONG, right? And you go on to have the hottest sex EVER in the world.
Vinyl is SO wrong. Records are a pain in the ass to make, collect, clean, store, and move from place to place. And there is absolutely NO scientific reason they should sound better than their digital counterparts. But they do.
There is just something so right (and so hot) about something that is so wrong.”
—Amanda Schukle & Tracy Shapiro, Steel Cranes
Ouroboros, the debut album by Oakland’s Steel Cranes, will be released on September 24th.
