• The "Louie Louie" Story: A $750 scrap of toilet paper

  by Audio Gasoline December 27, 2013

  by Audio Gasoline December 20, 2013

  by Audio Gasoline November 5, 2013
  Some jackass on Etsy decided to make a commemerative bootleg t-shirt to honor Lou Reed's passing. Too bad they have no idea who the man is.     The best part is, they've done this before:     Click here to marvel at the stupidity.

  by Audio Gasoline November 1, 2013

• Extracting Audio From Pictures

  by Audio Gasoline October 3, 2013
  The amazing story of how a few audiophile scientists resurrected lost recordings from photographs of the extinct records. (Hint: remember how the shape of the sound groove mimics the actual sound wave...?)   http://mediapreservation.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/extracting-audio-from-pictures/ &n...

• Great Explanations: Northern Soul

  by Audio Gasoline September 30, 2013
  The BBC2 television station in England recently aired this short documentary-style story about the Northern Soul craze in that country during the mid 1970s.

• "This Charming Charlie": Morrissey vs Charlie Brown

  by Audio Gasoline August 23, 2013
  Admittedly, I'm not the biggest Morrissey fan in the world, but this is a clever mash-up: lyrics from The Smiths and Morrissey's solo material interjected upon the introspective world of Charlie Brown. The mutual self-debasement is eerily comforting. See the whole collection at http://thischarm...
