girls who like tape echoes

so, girls who like tape echoes rule, huh? for those of you who don't know what in hell i'm talking about, here's some things that wiki sez about tape echoes.

The first delay effects were achieved using tape loops improvised on reel-to-reel magnetic recording systems. By shortening or lengthening the loop of tape and adjusting the read and write heads, the nature of the delayed echo could be controlled. This then extended into the use of
delay processors based on analog tape recording, such as Ray Butts' Echosonic (1952), Mike Battle's Echoplex (1959), or the Roland Space Echo (1973). These days we have some damn fine (and also some terrible) digital pedals capable of faithfully emulating the tape echo sound, which tends to decay at the end of the echo.

but enough waffle. i'm going on a hunt for bands' blogs and stuff which have GWLTE. acronymised! have to be honest though, i'll probably run out of attention span and just turn to finding bands with GWLAS. (girls who like awesome shit).

yep.
