Fear & Ghost!

not abigail herself asking about the oc i created just to ship with her lmfao

fear: What is your OC's greatest fear? What do they do when confronted with it? Are they open with their fear, or do they hide it away?

two major fears: first, and most important to her character, is the fear of being recognized. either as who she used to be, or even just recognized as someone who puts out a different persona than they really are. usually overcompensates by projecting their more cool/casual persona way more than is healthy, ultimately overstimulating themself and burning out. not a good idea when your job involves so much socializing. second, fear of heights/flying. has never really traveled, making only the exception when she goes to batsfjord for the climax in aotd. that whole flight there is an absolute nightmare for multiple reasons.

ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?

yknow, this is the kind of question where my default answer should be, the person she killed in klokateer recruitment (linking that story again for reference) , because yeah, she does feel really terrible about that and it's what led to her hiding her true self from others for so long. but it's honestly less so the person that haunts her as much as it is her own cowardice and her old life. not that there was much that really changed before all that, besides just her family and coworkers thinking she's dead. she wasn't close with any of them before, so it's not like a major impact to her life, but there's that lingering guilt that people who were in her life before now aren't in it, or aren't in it in the same way, and she can never be honest about it. (or so she presumes, anyway...)

The Importance of Keeping Your Vinyl Records Clean

Vinyl records have made a remarkable comeback in recent years, captivating the hearts of audiophiles and casual listeners alike. The warm, rich sound produced by vinyl is often unmatched by digital formats, making it a preferred choice for many music enthusiasts. However, the quality of the listening experience can be significantly impaired if records are not properly cared for. One of the most critical aspects of vinyl maintenance is cleanliness.

Keeping your vinyl records clean not only preserves the sound quality but also extends the life of the records themselves.

Understanding the Impact of Dust and Dirt

Dust, dirt, and fingerprints are significant enemies of vinyl records. When a record is played, the needle glides along the grooves, which are designed to capture the intricate details of the music. If the surface is contaminated with debris, the needle can pick up unwanted noise and distortion, leading to a subpar listening experience. For instance, a single speck of dust can cause crackling sounds, skipping, or even permanent damage to the grooves over time.

Moreover, dirt can accumulate and harden on the record surface, making it even more difficult to clean. If left unchecked, this buildup can lead to a deterioration of both the record's appearance and audio quality. Regularly cleaning records is essential in maintaining their integrity and ensuring that every note is heard as the artist intended.

The Right Tools for Cleaning Vinyl Records

Investing in the right tools for cleaning vinyl records is crucial. A high-quality record cleaner should be at the top of any vinyl enthusiast's list. There are various cleaning solutions available, specifically formulated for vinyl records. These solutions help dissolve grime and eliminate static, which can attract more dust.

In addition to a cleaning solution, microfiber cloths are an excellent choice for wiping down records without scratching the surface. For deeper cleaning, a velvet or carbon fiber brush can effectively remove dust particles from the grooves. Some audiophiles even opt for vacuum cleaning systems designed specifically for records, which can provide a thorough clean without the risk of damage.

The Cleaning Process: Step-by-Step

Cleaning vinyl records is a straightforward process that should be performed with care to avoid damaging the records.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

Choose the Right Environment: Always clean records in a dust-free environment. A clean table or designated cleaning area can help prevent any additional debris from contaminating the record during the cleaning process.

Inspect the Record: Before cleaning, examine the record for visible dirt or fingerprints. This inspection will help determine the level of cleaning required.

Apply Cleaning Solution: Using an applicator, apply a few drops of the cleaning solution onto the record surface. It’s important to use a solution specifically designed for vinyl records, as other household cleaners can cause damage.

Wipe with a Microfiber Cloth: Gently wipe the record in a circular motion, following the grooves. This action helps lift the dirt without pushing it deeper into the grooves.

Dry the Record: After cleaning, it’s essential to allow the record to dry completely before playing it. Any moisture remaining can cause damage to both the record and the turntable.

Store Properly: Once the record is clean and dry, store it vertically in a protective sleeve to prevent dust accumulation.

The Benefits of Regular Cleaning

Regular cleaning of vinyl records offers numerous benefits that go beyond just sound quality. By maintaining a cleaning routine, record owners can enjoy a more immersive listening experience. Clean records produce clearer sound, allowing listeners to appreciate the nuances of the music. This clarity can transform an ordinary listening session into a truly remarkable experience.

Additionally, preserving the physical condition of the records can significantly improve their resale value. Collectors often seek records that are in excellent condition, free from scratches or dirt. Therefore, investing time in cleaning can yield long-term benefits for collectors and casual listeners alike.

Conclusion: A Call to Action for Vinyl Enthusiasts

For those who cherish the experience of listening to vinyl records, maintaining their cleanliness is paramount. Regular cleaning not only enhances sound quality but also extends the lifespan of the records. As vinyl continues to grow in popularity, taking the time to care for these treasured items becomes increasingly important.

That's a mouthful. I promise I'll do my beat not to butcher it. Ah, well. My name ain't short and sweet either. Antonio DiMarco Thunderbottom, Snakes N' Barrels. At your service.

:The ghost smiles back brightly- well, for a semi-transparent man, anyway:

Call me Tony- all my friends do.

I like your hat. You've got this whole Slash thing going on.

Imitation is, like, the sincerest form of flattery.

:tips said hat, gives a charming little grin:

Hi. I don't think I've met you yet.

I cleaned up my test pressing of Talking Heads’ genre-busting classic Fear Of Music this weekend. I don’t play it often for obvious reasons (I actually have a regular first pressing that I typically put on instead), but I wanted to enjoy it, pulled it out and yeah, it was kind of dirty—so I fixed that. On the upper left, you can see the grubby LP; to its right, I went at it with a Hunt brush, which did 70-80% of the work, getting dust out of the grooves, as you can see. Next, it took a bath in a HumminGuru ultrasonic record cleaning machine with a touch of Groovewasher G2 fluid in it, and Bam—you can see the decided improvement on the lower right. The record sounded amazing, particularly on (of all tracks) “Paper”—the ricocheting guitar echos were electrifying and Chris Frantz’s drums were right in the room. Totally worth the effort to clean this one up; it now is in a MoFi sleeve to keep it that way.

"I thought you were going straight home after work," Devon said, watching as Abigail took a seat at the bar counter. The Mastodon was busier than usual, as quite a few bands had come in to celebrate the announcement of their Grammy nominations. Being so short-staffed as of late, Devon hadn't had the chance to even look over the nominations yet.

"I was," Abigail replied, "but I thought I'd get my own celebratory drink."

"Oh yeah?" They grabbed a bottle of scotch, ready to start mixing Abigail's usual. "Who we celebrating for?"

She rolled her eyes. "Not funny."

"What?" Their face got red. While they'd been seeing Abigail for a little bit, they still had quite a habit of saying the wrong thing. They spilled some scotch on the counter. "Shit." They grabbed the towel out of their pocket.

"Dev—"

"Hey, can we get a refill over here?" someone called.

"One second!" They let out a sigh as they cleaned up their mess. "I haven't gotten a chance to see the nominations, I've been so busy," they explained. "You had the IPA, right?" they asked the shouting patron.

"Devon," Abigail said again, "I got nominated."

"What?"

"I had the fucking lager!" the patron shouted as Abigail repeated, "I got nominated for Producer of the Year."

No longer caring about dealing with any of the other barflies, Devon leaned over the counter, knocking down the remainder of the drink and pressing their lips against Abigail's. "I'm so fucking proud of you," they whispered.

"Devon," Abigail breathed. She leaned back a bit.

"Fuck." They slid off the counter, slinking back to the wall of liquor. "Sorry. I'll make you a new drink, on me."

"Maybe two."

"Maybe three."

Maybe one of the coolest unique things I picked up at the #DJExpo a few weeks. It’s almost a perfect gift for any DJ heading back to school or to simply collect. It had a shirt and record cleaner set too, where’s the thermos? I would tell you where to get it, but the clue is in the photo. #rockandsoulnyc #audiotechnica #lunchbox #recordcleaner #deejaysoul #photosbyignaciosoltero https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ovh0MASdX/?igshid=1myhha1tzkuph

I’m doing the unthinkable and actually selling off a few records on eBay, so I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning them in a HumminGuru ultrasonic record cleaning machine. The machine is one of the few times I’ve ever backed a Kickstarter campaign and since it arrived a month ago, it has been in steady use. It certainly tidied up this rare instrumental version of Guru’s classic Jazzmatazz Volume 1, featuring Donald Byrd, Branford Marsalis, Courtney Pine, Lonny Liston Smith and others. How could I give up such a classic? Er, I had two copies, believe it or not. You can only listen to one at a time, however, so it dawned on me that I should sell it and let someone else enjoy these tracks, too.
