Sweet, I knew this essay I wrote would come in handy.

This statement is opinion, and I declare your opinion false. If I could right now I'd take a big shit on a pile of prosound modded DMGs.

Nah, turns 21 next March.

Nah you got it in reverse man, haha. I'm from SoCal but I'm eventually moving to AZ. I've never been lucky enough to call the beautiful desert my home.

If that were the case, they'd just cover the damn song, not compose something that sounds very much like it!

Isn't it generally legal to compose a sound-alike track to avoid paying licensing?  For instance, the DVD releases of "Married...With Children" with the title music replaced to an original piece that sounds almost identical to "Love And Marriage" since they no longer had the rights to use the actual song and didn't want to pay more for licensing.

Regardless, while it's fun to to get the pitchforks every time someone commits a crime against the chipscene, Disney themselves probably had little to do with the trailer. The higher ups at a corporation that big don't give a fuck about things like trailers to an iPod app. That's low level shit. Controlling and moderating the comments on their YouTube channel is also incredibly low level (they probably have interns doing that shit) and knowing how the Disney company tends to operate I'm going to almost guarantee that they're instructed to remove anything remotely negative from the YouTube comments of any video.

The bottom line is that Anamanaguchi have a manager, pretty sure they have a lawyer or know how to contact one, and it's pretty simple for them to fight this one themselves.

A couple of things -

Lathe cuts on polycarbonate will supposedly last longer than dubplates. Dubplates are usually shit after 50 listens or so. Most companies who do the polycarbonate lathe cuts claim that if you take care of them they'll last as long as traditional records. Another big difference between the two is that dubplates sound as good as pressed vinyl at first, if I'm not mistaken. Anything cut on polycarbonate sounds like shit.

A shorter version of my "Welcome To Thrash City" EP was supposed to come out as a 7", and I was using Poly-Cut. The test copy sounded really muddy and I decided to abandon the concept. Depending on what you're looking for in terms of quality it might work just fine for you. I had a later project ("The Torture of Humans For The Sake of Art") that was specifically planned to be a lathe cut 7 inch and was mastered as such and everything, But by the time I contacted Poly-Cut the dude was having health problems and stopped taking orders / responding to people, This was last year so no idea if that shit is resolved or not.

ANYWAY, If you're putting out something that you don't mind having low sound quality, apparently these discs will hold up. I've done a tiny bit of research on them and never saw anything about them deteriorating at the same rate as dubplates (they're not the same thing, they're cut on different material).

This album is yet another example of some of the absolutely fucking fantastic yet relatively unknown chip artists we have floating around here in the Los Angeles area. So goddamn good.
