A completely new definition of “metal on metal”
Some hipster musicians meet over orange-peel craft beers
“I released an album on vinyl.”
“That’s nothing. My new album is coming out on cassette!”
“Cassette?” says a third. “Luxury! I’m planning to put out some songs on 8-track!”
“Bollocks!” chimes in another. “My next record will be on a 10-inch 78 RPM record made of the original shellac compound.”
The metal guy in the corner is silent for a bit. Then he says “I’m going old-school. My band is going to record something on an Edison cylinder! We’re too loud for wax compounds, so we’ll use a metal cylinder! Metal on metal, geddit?”
There’s a pause in the conversation. The first hipster hangs his head and says “You win.”
