can you believe that 10 years ago today fall out boy did the unbelievable. they did what bands can normally never do, at least not successfully, and absolutely not as successfully as they did. 10 years ago today fall out boy came off of their break, they came off of their hiatus and came back together with an entirely new attitude, new music, a new spring in their step and even more heart and passion and determination for what they were doing- making music that They loved for the people that needed it. they were so unsure, they didn't know if people would show up, if people still cared about fall out boy. they didn't know if this new album, this comeback album, would really be their last one- what if they did this, and no one cared? but 10 years ago today they announced that they were back, and got to see Just how many people cared. So Many people cared So Much that fall out boy was back in an invigorated, modern, Happy form. their shot in the dark comeback album, full of every ounce of passion and care they could possibly infuse into it in it, hit number one. sold thousands in its first week. was certified platinum. in those ten years? they've had two more number one albums, countless successful tours, a grammy nomination. and what about exactly 10 years later? they're selling out stadiums. releasing a highly anticipated eighth studio album. making music still infused with every ounce of passion and care that they could possibly infuse in it. for themselves, for us. because they still care, and we have proved that we do too. like a phoenix they rose from the ashes and are still rising!! we don't know when to quit, and they don't either đ„ș
People seemed to like my post about how I started burning CDs again, and @olyve-oyle requested that I make a âhow toâ for people who like to have physical copies of their music, so, here you go!
Disclaimer: There are tons of ways to get music illegally. Iâm not going to explain those here for legal reasons, but there are plenty of resources out there that describe how to get music off of youtube, spotify, and tidal. However, Im always going to suggest that you buy your music, if able.
Supplies:
CD-Rs (not CD-ROMs, CD-ROMs are read only disks and you cant save new data to them once they have been created)
CD-RW Drive on your computer (you can also buy one that connects to your computer or laptop since a lot of computers dont have one anymore) RW stands for Read/Write, its what lets you burn a CD
An application like itunes (free accounts are perfectly fine) Windows Media Player also works, but I personally use itunes
Optional but Suggested: Cases
Optional: Craft supplies to decorate cases
Step 1: Obtain Music
There are a couple legal ways to do this. 1. Buy a CD (I typically get mine from thrift stores or my Dadâs old collection to make my own playlists) 2. Buy specific songs you want online. These can all be uploaded to you computer or itunes account
Step 2: Create Your Playlist
Any playlist will work, but itâs important to know how long your CD-Rs burn for. Most typically burn for 90 minutes, so keep your playlist under that. Heres the one I used for this *Note I just threw random stuff together*:
Step 3: Burn To CD-R
Admittedly I only know how to do this on itunes, so heres images showing how, and the settings that I use when burning
Step 4: Decorate
I like to use craft paper and sharpies. Just donât draw on the bottom of the disk
