The Myth and the Reality of the $43 Download | The Pitch | Pitchfork

…excerpt…

“From the consumer standpoint, recorded sound moves from the source (LP, CD, digital download) through player (turntable, CD player, smart phone) through wires, a pre-amp, another wire, an amplifier, another wire, and a speaker system (stereo speakers, P.A., earbuds). The biggest engineering challenges, and the ones that will make the greatest difference in the sound, are the ones that involve things you can touch. Your needle, cartridge, and turntable have to spin precisely and be positioned just so to extract information from the vinyl record. Getting all that to happen in a way that results in quality sound is really, really difficult, which is why you can buy a turntable that costs $90,000. Almost no one can tell the difference between a $100 CD player and a $1,000 CD player, but almost everyone can tell the difference between a $100 turntable and a $1,000 turntable.”

Blue Moon Soup | A Musical Experiment in Folk Jams!

Today’s all about Blue Moon Soup, an acoustic folk/bluegrass quartet from Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Yellow Springs is well known for producing some amazing musical experiences, and Blue Moon Soup is no exception! Here’s some info so you can get to know them a little better:

Members:  Jon Bauman (Standup Bass, Vocals) | Robbie Marion (Fiddle, Vocals) | Brendan Moore (Mando, Vocals) | Justin Moon (Guitar, Vocals)

Biography:

Blue Moon Soup, the acoustic folk quartet from Yellow Springs, Ohio, entrances audiences with an eclectic mix of jam band staples, folk and bluegrass traditionals, and originals tunes that fuse folk and psychedelia to establish a unique identity in an increasingly homogenized musical landscape. As evidenced by the presence of a fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass, Blue Moon Soup’s bluegrass and celtic folk roots run deep. On stage, trailside or fireside, Blue Moon Soup’s music brings a sincerity and spirit to the stage that sweeps wallflowers onto the dance floor, and an enthusiasm that engages the audience into the wee hours. After a Blue Moon Soup show, we hope your feet are tired and your ears yearn for more.From dive bars to concert halls, Blue Moon Soup quickly attracted a fervent core group of fans throughout the broader Dayton area, and went on to augment its burgeoning following by appearing at a variety of regional musical festivals in Ohio and toured throughout the region, making inroads into Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.

Lonely Mountain, Blue Moon Soup’s first LP, was released on Christmas Eve 2011 to broad acclaim. Although the band’s current primary focus is to broaden its reach in Ohio metro areas, they are crafting a second LP for a third quarter 2013 release, and continuing to reach out to new fans; young and old, near and far.

Description:

“The largest biological experiment man has ever entered into.”
–Jerry Garcia

Band Interests:

Blue Moon Soup continues to be involved in a variety of charitable works, because as Jerry Garcia said, “Somebody has to do something, and it’s just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us.”

Influences:

Jerry Garcia, David Grissman, Old and in the Way, Grateful Dead, Ortega Fuerte, Yonder Mountain String Band, Great Lake Swimmers, Fleet Foxes, Neil Young, Luke Campbell Brennan
