The deep, baked-in racism of old Looney Tunes shorts is so incredibly fucked. Like just on the surface it's brazen, blatant and awful, but it runs so deep that there could be a short where it's just cartoon antics, some of the best comedy of this era of cartoons, and RIGHT AT THE END all the characters show up in blackface and sing a minstrel song.

And by "could be", I actually mean "there is", because this EXACT THING happens in a short called Fresh Hare. Like legitimately, this short has some of the strongest jokes in Looney Tunes history. It's hit after hit after hit. And then right at the end - here's your big finish, Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in blackface.

It's less abjectly horrific than, say, the wartime cartoons or the one where they inexplicably replace Elmer Fudd with a racial caricature of a black person and make every joke of the short a racist jab at the expense of the caricature. But the fact that it just shows up at the end of an unrelated short is just like... what the fuck. They had such a good thing going, but I guess they needed to portray minstrelsy for that last big laugh or something.

The racism of those old shorts is so inherent and pervasive that it just shows up out of nowhere, like a mallet or an anvil, for the sake of a joke. It's so fucked up.

The Historical Use of Tape in Audio Recording

The use of tape in audio recording has a rich history that dates back to the early days of recording technology. Magnetic tape, introduced in the mid-20th century, revolutionized the recording industry. Before digital audio workstations (DAWs) became prevalent, analog tape machines were the primary tools for recording and producing music. Tape was used to capture and store audio signals, offering a warm and distinctive analog sound. Musicians and engineers appreciated tape for its unique sonic characteristics, including natural compression, harmonic saturation, and the ability to add a touch of analog warmth to recordings.

Why Tape Effects Are Still Used in Digital Audio Work

In the digital age of audio recording and production, tape effects continue to hold a special place. Musicians and producers often seek to recreate the nostalgic and character-rich sound of analog tape for several reasons. - Tape effects evoke the vintage vibe of classic recordings, adding a sense of authenticity to modern productions. - Warmth and Saturation: Tape imparts warmth, saturation, and harmonic distortion to audio, creating a pleasing and full-bodied sound. - Musical Compression: Analog tape provides natural compression, smoothing out dynamics and enhancing musicality. - Creative Flair: Tape effects offer creative possibilities, allowing producers to experiment with tape-style delay, flanging, and other sonic manipulations.

Advantages of Using Tape Effects

Using tape effects in digital audio workstations offers several advantages. - Coloration: Tape imparts a distinct coloration to audio, enhancing character and depth. - Sonic Glue: It helps bind individual tracks together in a mix, creating a cohesive sound. - Dynamic Control: Tape can be used to control dynamics and tame transients effectively. - Creative Soundscapes: Tape effects inspire creativity, allowing for the exploration of unique soundscapes.

Found an entire library of tapes related to an obscure Japanese cult (Happy Science / Ryuho Okawa) amongst the movie section of a local thrift store. As you can probably see none of the tapes were in English. No idea what any of this is doing in New Jersey but it seems to be a fairly complete set with each tape going for roughly $2 each. The cassette tape section was similarly saturated with their materials.
