There are some that still remember: https://greenvillegeneral.com/store/p/manifest-discs-and-tapes-logo

dumb review though - I guarantee that whoever wrote it wasn't shopping at one of its old locations during its heyday. I would just get lost in seas of imports that would put a typical tower or hmv to shame, easily!

A truly great record store. I use “record store” here in a larger sense. It wasn’t a Tower Records or HMV but it had everything I wanted. It was packed many times. I think Record Bar and Musicland stand in its shadow.

old newspaper clipping from 86, which would have not too long after I moved there from Kentucky

is that someone from greenville, sc?
i'm guessing no, but it could be someone that was on the periphery of people I knew so maybe I just don't really remember them without more context as can happen when i'm talking to someone from there and they have to fill in the blanks for me

I find it interesting how ANY sound looped will start to take on musical properties. I had a dream last night about sampling. I think I'd prefer to get into sampling than making all synth music (yes i know synths are probably samples etc...)

This isn't ideal cos there's a sllght gap between loops

synths aren't samples although you can obviously sample synths
you can however, you can turn samples into synths in a few different ways

Not just looped sounds, but any sound(s) = musical depending your frame of mind.
For example, I've sometimes been captivated and hypnotized by something like the droning sounds of far away highway traffic.

this is really cheap, and really powerful (of course it also works with other gear, too, if you ever felt like expanding)

also heard good things about its granular synthesis if you wanted to get into that

in the pandemic i got a chase bliss mood and a chase bliss blooper and chained them together with some other pedals, both of those are loop pedals, you can get quite into it, keep messing around and every now and then you accidentally totally accidentally without any intention the circuitry makes a perfect loop and you stand there in awe as it goes round and round slowly changing and decaying. sometimes you leave them on going round for an hour as background noise. but eventually you have to turn them off

and if anyone wants to know places where to get different kinds of free and legit (100% royalty free cause your track is gonna make you a star someday) sample packs of all kinds of wild and weird sounds to some more practical sounds/loops/etc., hit me up...
really no reason that anyone can't make music with the tech available to people now

when the loops so beautiful whatdyaneed more? well maybe a tight but discrete kick a perky hat and some nice crisp claps. i love this raw silly thing. a ’guide’ pick up, y know? one that showed where i could go...more to complement this and i make a sound. bright, biting, and a whole freaky notion of funk on its own.
