Announcement from me :P

It's a sign of how old I am that the only definition I can think of for "LP" involves vinyl records.

Don't feel bad, I was thinking of that too.

Me three, and I'm still not sure what their talking about.

I knew both definitions by heart.

Wait, I think I remember what an EP is... Something to do with music? The length of an album or something? Just thinking of NOFX's album "The Longest EP".

In the old days, an EP is usually a vinyl played at 45 RPM and an LP is a vinyl played at 33 RPM, and usually the distinction is that LP's are albums for the most part and EP's usually contain nothing more than 5-6 songs at the most and usually remixes and alternate versions.

Wait, whaaaaaat???? Ep stands for Electronic production to me. But an "EP" is when there is a release of less tracks to be considered an album but more than a single. They usually come in two track format. Hence it was popular during the Vinyl times (A-side, B-side) and it's still popular in my genre of music, digitally released though.

Yeah, that's why 45 RPM 7'' and 12'' singles are usually referred to as EP's.

I'm actually thinking of making a different thing now to a LP. It's going to be called Randomness of Play. Definition: Giving casual commentary, while acting silly and possibly dying in stupid ways.

That could be interesting.
