There is a bizarre phenomenon that has been documented in various parts of the world - the appearance of a 12-foot levitating witch. This mysterious figure, which defies the laws of gravity, has left people awe-struck and perplexed. Reports of the levitating witch first surfaced in rural areas, with witnesses describing an ethereal and ghostly presence hovering above the ground. The figure is often depicted as a towering witch, with a pointed hat and broomstick, suspended in mid-air. These sightings have fueled speculation and theories about the origins and nature of this phenomenon. Some believe that the levitating witch is a result of paranormal activity or supernatural forces, while others suggest it could be a case of advanced technology or optical illusions.

Do Cassette Tapes Sound Good?

Nowadays, we have a lot of different ways to record and listen to music.

But before the era of digital audio and CDs, cassette tapes were the go-to method for listening to music on-the-go, in the car, or on a more affordable system.

Cassette tapes have been around since the early 1960s, and believe it or not, the recording device is still being used to this day for listening to music. Until the mid-2000s, cassette tapes were always the #2 most common formats for recorded music (first behind vinyl, and then behind CDs). In fact, cassette tapes became so popular that cars started including built-in cassette players within five years after the technology was invented.

With so much popularity in the music industry and general public, does this mean cassette tapes sound better than other formats of music? Is that the main reason why the cassette tape has been able to survive for decades even after the introduction to CDs?

It may seem like quality sound is the reason for cassette tape longevity, but it’s actually the contrary. Cassette tapes are notorious for “hissing,” “fuzzy,” and “snap and crackle” sounds whereas CDs and vinyl have a much crisper resonance.

The quality of sound is scaled on the dynamic range, frequency response, and the signal-to-noise ratio. In all three of these measures, the cassette tape has a poorer quality measure than CDs and vinyl.

But unless you’re an expert audiophile, you might not notice these differences as much. Moreover, some listeners and diehard analog fans prefer the static flare cassette tapes provide!

Another limitation with cassette tapes is the magnetic tape technology used to make the audio recordings. Magnetic tape devices record sound on a thin layer of magnetic coating that reacts when it comes close to a magnetic field. Unfortunately, the magnetic layer deteriorates over time. The layer will break down regardless, but it does decline at a faster rate if overplayed or exposed to light, humidity, heat, and dust.

This means it’s important to digitize your cassette tapes , especially if you’ve had them for a few decades!

MC - Limited Edition Cassette Tape. Current Joys is Nick Rattigan, also of Surf Curse. Features include Lil Yachty, Oddbody, Slow Hollows, Your Angel and Brutus VIII.

LOVE + POP is a snapshot of a moment in not-so-far-away time; something fast, loud, moody and a little dangerous. It is, in some ways, classic Current Joys: full of wild ambition, sneaky hooks, and songs that move from concept to completion with prolific speed. But LOVE + POP also explodes myriad expectations with aggressive, deconstructed production, house music influence, and a guest appearance from Lil Yachty. It is not so much a twist as it is a unique multiverse identity for Current Joys, as Nick Rattigan’s set out to “capture this sonic moment and harken back to the way I first released music.”

The story of LOVE + POP begins with one of those house parties: the kind that bulldozes your home and, in its aftermath, leaves a wreckage that finds you flattened but also ready to be new. In that mess and mayhem, Rattigan watched Everybody’s Everything, the documentary of Lil Peep, and recorded a cover of “walk away as the door slams”. But the itch wasn’t scratched, and what began as a moment of homage morphed into something bigger, deeper and more fundamental, a point where the seemingly haphazard – in his home, in Peep’s process – opened Rattigan up to an entire creative space and a new approach to bending or even detonating genre.

Crucially, all of this was recorded at home, in what Rattigan calls a “tribute to the process of creating” in a DIY space. And what began as a singular passion project unexpectedly grew into a uniquely collaborative record for Current Joys. “I’ve set out to make collaborative records before,” Rattigan explains, “but they often end up totally me, with just a couple exceptions. But then this record gave me the opportunity to be extremely collaborative, to let other people write instrumental tracks, sending links around for people to mess with and weigh in on. I sat down to do credits and realized here were all these people and styles and they all came together and worked.”

LOVE + POP’s cover art is an airbrush/spraypaint rendition of the Wild Heart album cover, which is itself a photo of Rattigan’s grandparents kissing. It is sacred in some ways and shredded in others. This idea – the aggressive reimagining of something timeless into a present, finite style – is LOVE + POP.

Surf Curse is the indie rock recording project of Los Angeles based songwriters Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck. Seeing Surf Curse live has become a right of passage for disaffected adolescence in the South-West while Rattigan and Rubeck have spent their formatives years between Las Vegas, Reno, and Los Angeles. Their new record, Heaven Surrounds You, is a coming of age epic, inspired by the many cult films they've cherished through out their young adulthood that are referenced across the album's tracklist. Surf Curse's songwriting and instrumental orchestration has matured on their third full length LP, adding layers of polish to their traditionally rough and visceral sound. Rattigan and Rubeck worked with veteran indie producer Jarvis Taveniere, carefully crafting their most lush and vulnerable record to date, during the fall of 2018. Heaven Surrounds You, satisfies the energy and passion that old fans would expect from a Surf Curse record, but expands the band's songwriting to envelope new audiences into their cinematic sound. Limited to 500 green cassettes.

Reviews for "Unexplained phenomena: The case of the 12-foot levitating witch"

1. Samantha - 2/5 stars

I was not impressed with the "12 foot levitating witch" at all. First of all, the levitation aspect was poorly executed and looked completely fake. It was obvious that wires were used to make the witch float, which just took away from the supposed magic of the performance. Additionally, the size of the witch was overwhelming and made it hard to appreciate any other elements of the show. Overall, I found the "12 foot levitating witch" to be lacking in both execution and visual appeal.

2. Michael - 1/5 stars

I have to say, the "12 foot levitating witch" was a complete disappointment. The whole concept seemed promising, but the execution fell flat. The levitation was poorly done, and it was obvious that there were strings or cables involved. The movements of the witch were incredibly slow and lackluster, which made it hard to stay engaged. I expected a lot more from this act, but it ultimately left me feeling bored and unimpressed.

3. Emily - 2/5 stars

The "12 foot levitating witch" was not what I expected it to be. The levitation itself was a letdown, as it was clear that the witch was being supported by some sort of hidden mechanism. The lack of fluidity in her movements made her appear stiff and robotic. Additionally, the overall atmosphere of the performance was quite underwhelming; there was a lack of energy and excitement throughout. Overall, I was left unsatisfied with the "12 foot levitating witch" and wouldn't recommend it to others.
