Sunday at 33⅓ RPM by g00n$tar

[INTRO — EXTREMELY QUIET MONO VINYL RECORD, REAL TURNTABLE MECHANICS]

[paper record sleeve rustles]

[vinyl lifted from sleeve]

[record placed on platter]

[soft turntable motor hum]

[tonearm clicks into position]

[stylus lowers]

[LOUD NEEDLE CRACKLE]

[dust pops]

[low cartridge rumble]

[old amplifier hum]

[very faint jazz-bar room chatter]

[glass clink far away]

[brushed drums enter softly]

[upright bass]

[warm Rhodes]

[hollow-body jazz guitar]

You’re so hi-fi…

[VINYL POP]

You spend your Sundays at the vinyl bar
Swear you’re cultured, sitting in the dark
Jazz kissa-ten
Black coffee again

[soft muted trumpet answers vocal]

You know the pressing
You know the year
You know the drummer
The engineer

[tape flutter]

You close your eyes
When the needle drops

[brushes sweep across snare]

And I kinda love
How weird you are

[VINYL CRACKLE]

You’re so hi-fi
You’re so hipster
You’re so retro
You’re so analog

[upright bass finger slide]

Crate digger
Deep-cut picker
Wax spinner
Favorite-song giver

[small record scratch]

[quiet vibraphone]

[VERSE 2 — EVEN QUIETER, DUSTY OLD JAPANESE JAZZ LP, NARROW MONO]

[soft tape hiss]

[random vinyl pops]

[slightly detuned upright piano]

[muted trumpet breath]

You’re so engulfed in
Japanese subculture
Imported records
Posters on the wall

You read the labels
You read the sleeves
Know every symbol
On your favorite things

[everything fades except bass, Rhodes and record noise]

But never cared
What’s written in

Kanji
down my spine

[NEEDLE POP]

Kanji
down my spine

[soft sax breath]

You trace it
With your fingertips

But never ask
What it means

[VINYL LOCKED GROOVE BEGINS]

You’re so hi-fi
Hi-fi
Hi-fi
Hi-fi

[tiny needle tick repeating with beat]

You’re so analog
Analog
Analog
Analog

[record groove skips]

Crate digger
Deep-cut picker
Wax spinner
Wax-wax spinner

[WOW AND FLUTTER GET STRONGER]

[HUGE PHYSICAL RECORD SCRATCH]

[TURNTABLE MOTOR SHUTS OFF]

[RECORD SLOWS DOWN]

[pitch bends downward]

[room ambience disappears]

[COMPLETE SILENCE]

But I’m WiFi.

[DIGITAL SYSTEM BOOT ERROR]

[MASSIVE GLITCH DROP — SUDDENLY EXTREMELY LOUD AND ULTRA-WIDE STEREO]

[BITCRUSHED KICK]

[DISTORTED 808]

[PACKET-LOSS STATIC]

[LASER SWEEP LEFT TO RIGHT]

W-W-W-WI-FI

[robotic formant shift]

I’m a cyber scribe
A digi-doll
Algorithmic muse
I want it all

[granular vocal explosion]

Stem slicer
Live controller
Hyperpopper
System overload

[ERROR BEEPS]

Wirehead
Wirehead
Wire-wire-wirehead

[metallic percussion]

Blue light
All night
Blue-blue-blue light

[BUFFER GLITCH]

HI-FI
WI-FI

[rapid stereo chops]

HI-HI-HI-HI
