During my Senior Year, my band Pigeon recorded an album at a local studio in Birmingham, AL. We pulled together the cash we made over the summer and at various shows and played till late in the evening for a short 5 song album. There were special moments from that awesome evening involving walking through the Arby's drive-through, the song George which was written by our friend George and only had 2 chords lasted 12 seconds and 2 syllables (it goes G chord, E chord, "O" "R", G chord, E chord) and actually listening to a quality recording of us playing really really really really loud.
After we recorded the cd, we made tons and tons of copies. Unfortunately, when we imported the CD onto iTunes to make the copies we did it in AIFF format. The original CD is long gone and now all I have is a potentially reduced quality version of our very special album. I hope this same experience does not translate to all of our records of music as the physical medium disappears.
