The reasons, <a href=\"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/2015\/02\/a-very-well-engineered-trap\/\">as I posted last week<\/a>, should be pretty obvious.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I need videos up there just so people who go looking for them can find them. I can do that with an ordinary personal account, which keeps me out of their trap service, which costs me a lot but gets me at least a <em>chunk<\/eM> of the YouTube potential audience. It sucks, but those are the realities of going as an indie.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve decided that like everything else, I&#8217;m going to turn this into an art project.<\/p>\n<p>There are a zillion videos of songs up on YouTube, mostly from the vinyl era, set to videos of those songs being played on turntables. Typically, but not always, on 45 RPM singles. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/xm5SpTvp4xQ\">Here&#8217;s one<\/a>. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AfhunXbAPVA\">Here&#8217;s another<\/a>. SOmetimes you get really weird things, like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2faYKXSKCRU\">Herb Albert on 16 2\/3rds RPM<\/a>. They have a pretty standard style to them; it&#8217;s become kind of a genre of its own.<\/p>\n<p>So I figured hey, why not beat them to it?<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AFLMcauyWnE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Except&#8230; I&#8217;m screwin&#8217; around with the format. Not in huge, obvious ways, particularly not at first. This one looks almost normal. The CD that&#8217;s sitting on top of the 1948 vinyl 10&#8243; masquerading as as single actually looks a little <em>too<\/em> much like a label, and <em>that<\/em> makes the whole thing look like a proper vinyl disc.<\/p>\n<p>Spoiler alert: I have no vinyl pressing. And so far, <em>no one<\/em> has noticed that the album is rotating <em>backwards<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I intended it to be subtle, particularly in the first one, because there&#8217;s a series, and I plan to make them goofier as they go. But maybe this is too subtle. That&#8217;s okay. I&#8217;ll just ramp it up more quickly than I planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given all the things we know about Google Play&#8217;s new YouTube\/streaming terms, I&#8217;m not going to be participating.
