Lo-Fi Emotions
 

Hey out there!
Something I've been wondering lately is where my brain got this idea that lo-fi quality = more emotion in some cases. Is it just a weird quirk of mine? I can't think much of what it's related to, just always felt that way. For example I really like Todd Rundgren's album Something/Anything. After already knowing every song on it I bought a beat up cassette of the album and the tonal quality somehow added a lot to my perceptions of the emotions in the melodies, something to do with the occasional warble and steady tape hiss. Makes me feel a little nostalgic somehow. This is just one case of many for me.
Any of you guys have similar reactions to lo fi stuff?
