[peel] Digest Number 481(ballboy)

[John Gray]

No its not that bad.  Its just that I have only recently acquired a CD
burner and was desperate to try it so I burned the session straight to CD -
and then played it on my CD player/stereo system.  My next step is to
connect tape deck and/or record deck and/or radio tuner, but I need to
understand some of the techjnological niceties a bit better first.

cheers - and thanks again, its still a great session!

If you're turning the music up loud and listening carefully, yeah,
probably. I don't have a very good rig up to record, hifi phono lead
to the line-in on my sound card. I've a fast computer but still
sometimes annoyingly 'clicks' (HDD I/O overloads?). Also I
compress the files to 112Kb/s mp3, to keep the file size
reasonable. I listen to the music on my laptop or desktop speaker,
and don't hear anything wrong.

If you're getting a sound worse then LW radio, there's something
wrong with your setup. Can you try playing on other systems?
Anyone else having problems? quality comments?

I've been listening to this session a lot lately, every now and again a
Maida Vale set really seems to hit the spot. Witty, good music
played superbly, reminds me of the Hefner set Aug00 and the Neko
Case one. I'm looking forward to the new Ballboy stuff now, the up
tempo tracks were great!
