Amazing Ad Campaign of the Day: To creatively demonstrate their sound engineering capabilities, GGRP Sound sent out a mess of cardboard record players — designed by GREY of Canada — to creative directors across North America.

The cardboard record player is exactly what it sounds like: A record player made from corrugated cardboard:

Once assembled, a record can be spun on the player with a pencil. The vibrations go through the needle and are amplified in the cardboard material.

I don’t know much, but I do know this: Every single last record should come wrapped inside a cardboard record player.

“But then, like a well-meaning pet lover who takes in a few strays, indie suddenly found its house overrun with weird cats and smelling like piss.”

If you’re a music lover and you haven’t read this article yet, you fail.

Pink Floyd Suing EMI Label Over Online Royalties

Pink Floyd Suing EMI Label Over Online Royalties :

The band is asking for clarification to their more than 10- year-old recording contract with EMI, Pink Floyd’s lawyer, Robert Howe, said at a hearing in a London court today. When their contract was negotiated in 1998 and 1999, “both parties were faced with a whole new world of potential exploitation,” Howe said.

“It was unclear whether record companies would be selling direct to the consumer or through retailers,” Howe said. Apple Inc.’s online music retailer iTunes “wasn’t launched in the U.K. until 2004. These negotiations were taking place six years before that.”

Drew Beckmeyer.

I don’t really have much information on Drew, maybe birds-planes-trains-cars does since I reblogged him from her, but i adore this piece. I regret that my current access to a piano involves an iPhone app. I think I need a 1983 Casio DG-20 Electric Guitar…
