Little Miss Sunshiine #27 feat. Jazzman by Laid Back on Mixcloud

My friend Orsii from the Little Miss Sunshine show on Laid Back Radio talks to Gerald from Jazzman – a man who collects the rarest and coolest of records from around the world and makes them available through his reissue label – always with the artists’ permission, and often as a result of great personal effort and a good amount of detective work.

Amazing stuff contained within. Listen and enjoy a whole lot of things you might never otherwise hear.

This is the furthest reach of the stuff I’m talking about on this site, incidentally. This is the stuff that is being deleted, and without heroes like Gerald – none of it would survive at all. It’s not all this great of course, but some of it is.

Key takeaway point: archivists have a saying – LOCKSS – Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe.

The message is not that digital is a poor way to store data for future generations – but that preservation is enhanced by multiple copies… something that digital media excel at.

Storing Treasured Memories On CD May Be Risky

As digital recording has become the norm, so has digital storage — many consumers and news outlets now archive their files on CD. But while tape recordings can last up to 150 years, CDs can deteriorate after only a few years. Recording expert Sam Brylawski explains how to preserve your digital memories.
