Energy - Get Energized!

It has recently come to my attention that the 1/4 inch adapter I've been using to record these tapes absolutely sucks. I noticed yesterday while I was recording my weekly show for Harper College Radio (Shameless Plug: Jake Joyce's Wide World Of Sounds, every Monday at 7 PM CST, 88.3 FM WHCM or www.harperradio.com. Tune in an hour earlier for Dexter's Radio Hour at 6 PM CST! 😀) that the fidelity sounded like absolute shit. I had to Frankenstein my entire set up to get it to work properly.

Anyways, I almost thought about scrapping today's post and re-recording the entire album once I got my new adapter. But then I realized, no matter what I did, the rip I recorded would never be of perfect quality. Then I got to thinking, "what even is 'perfect quality?'" I'm a pretty simple man. My idea of "perfection" denotes anything I can peacefully enjoy without harming anyone or anything physically or mentally. That seems pretty straight forward, right? So during my initial playback of my copy I realized, this is perfect. Unless you're the most stringent audiophile, I'm almost certain you will not need this album in hi-fi. In fact, I believe the grittiness even adds to production. It does what it's intended to do. It gives me ENERGY! 

I normally don't include the liner-notes in my posts, but the back of the tri-fold taken from Energy's Get Energized! (pictured above) is too good not to share. This recording stands alone from the other albums I've posted over the last few weeks as it presents itself as more tongue-in-cheek than my other inclusions. While polka has always been the most light-hearted of music, this album is more self-aware. Polka Maniac is a great example of this, as is the entire album's aesthetic itself. Just look at the cover! Would you ever think that this would be a polka album? I had to double take when I first saw it.

We Will Dance Then has become my anthem for a Post-Covid World. Granted, we are no where near a Post-Covid World yet. We are closer than we were three months ago, but please continue to protect yourself, your family, and your friends. However, the moment it is truly eradicated, I will be blast this song from my window for an entire day. Fun is also one hell of a weekend anthem. We will dance and have fun all together very soon.
