This Week In Lo-Fi Vol. 1: Overmodulated Bass

Reminds me of riding around Topeka in a friend's $3,000 mazda with a $600 "system" that included a box made in shop class, bassing the shit out of Sonic Drive-In as we cruised through the parking lot.

here's what Sleigh Bells look like live (any similarity to The Kills is purely coincidental).

This video was produced and uploaded to Youtube by ABCNews during CMJ. There are already butt loads of sources for live music on the web in a myriad of different formats that range in quality from Shitty to Clever. If mainstream media starts putting this kind of music content out there, in a few years will live music be to the internet what Dunkin Donuts is to Boston? Would there be any downside to this instance of oversaturation? There's probably some fluky explanation for this particular video but it's great to see ABC just setting the content free: barely branding the video, and not trying to assign some newsy authority to the coverage....just a video of a rock band. I support.
