But I think we also need to consider the fact that in certain cases we <em>technically reproduce</em> these "flaws" in more sophisticated media, rather than simply using the older "flawed" media themselves for aesthetic affect. Shooting black and white film is one thing, Boards of Canada tweaking contemporary electronic dials to achieve the aesthetic sound qualities of earlier media is quite something else. I suppose it would be more similar to photographing digitally in colour and then photoshopping the resultant file to grayscale. Yes!

Even the 'weaknesses' or the limits of these tools become part of the vocabulary of culture. I'm thinking of such stuff as Marshall guitar amps and black-and-white film - what was once thought most undesirable about these tools became their cherished trademark."
