"We're done, Mr. Rokunai," Totemo said. She and Lambda were out at a new construction site with Mr. Rokunai marking off protected plants with #tape. His fussiness made it take twice as long as necessary and it was now nearly sunset.

We watched "Late Night with the Devil" (2023) tonight. I posted a #5SecondMovieReview of it earlier. We enjoyed it.

However... one little thing about it is nagging at me, like a splinter in the mind's eye.

It's a period piece, set in the #1970s. The major thread of the story includes a psychologist and her sessions with a patient, which are #recorded. Part of one is played back as part of a #television show, and onscreen during that #playback is an open-reel (aka reel-to-reel) #tape #deck playing a tape.

1970s, open-reel recording - it's #retro, it's #cool, it's period-authentic, right?

I can't shake the feeling that whoever put the visual together has never actually seen an open-reel tape recorder in operation. This picture is lousy, because it's a screencap from the movie, which is supposed to be showing a television broadcast in good old analog SD - but it gets the point across.

See anything wrong?

The takeup #reel, on the right, turns clockwise, the opposite direction of the (normal) direction of the supply reel. So the tape wraps onto the inner side of the takeup reel, and ends up "inside out".

There's also no tension arm on the supply side, and an apparent #tension arm on the takeup side, but it's not actually in the tape path.

I don't think any machines were actually made like this, but I'm not an #expert. Can anyone identify the deck they butchered or digi-simmed to create this #sin against nature? 😉

A screen capture from a fictional television documentary featured in the movie "Late Night with the Devil" (2023). It shows an open-reel tape recorder (aka reel-to-reel) with a tape loaded on it. The scene this is taken from shows the playback of the tape. The tape unspools from the left-hand supply reel counter-clockwise normally, but the takeup reel on the right-hand side turns clockwise, with the tape passing to the left of the center axis of the reel. I'm not aware of any decks that actually work this way. There are other oddities too, like no tension arm on the supply side, an apparent tension arm on the takeup side but which is not actually in the tape path, and various other weirdnesses.

Yesterdays #hack get: “80s tech to work with 2025 tech”

“Hack, hack, watch Jack hack”

I’ve got a stack of CDs I usually listen to in the car. Car is permanently broken. The replacement car has no CD player (#tape or #8track 🤣) so I’ll have do some tinkering.

* First get out an unused #SONY #BoomBox to play #CD s. 📻

* Second locate a #bluetooth transmitter. Check bluetooth standard is BT 5.0 compatible.

* Third, find USB-A to USB-C power for the XMitter

* Four, power supply for boombox, C6.

* Five find a 3.5mm AUX cable to connect to XMitter.

* Six and dodgiest, PAIR bluetooth from boombox XMitter to car.

Now I can run the car audio without #streaming #shite music 🔊, not have to mess around with BS phone issues. ☺️

Thorr's Hammer ‎– Dommedagsnatt

It's quite funny that there was a discussion on the largest forum in Norway (VGdebatt) in the early 2000s about whether Runhild Gammelsæter was a real Norwegian person. The reason was that "Runhild" was perceived as too strange a name. I never thought so, though.

Now, of course, we know better, and the song "Norge" has even become the national anthem of Norway (I wish).

Cassette cover. Black and white photo of Runhild Gammelsæter on stage in white (in general, looking very pale/white because of the light), holding a microphone on stand, looking to (her) right). "Thorr's Hammer" above her. Runes in the bottom, probably the name of the tape.

Then there's the slightly smaller version, but with the same big content.

I actually thought I ordered the CD when I ordered this from Relapse. I don't think I even knew there was a tape version at the time, and tapes weren't much on my mind. The CD was sold out at that point.
Funny thing is, I managed to do a similar thing with Masonna, buying the 3x7" believing I bought the CD of "Inner Mind Mystique".
