Reading this disperses the buyer's remorse.<BR/><BR/>By the way, Jon. Do you have an opinion on Fleet Foxes? When I saw them tonight, they put me in mind of Silvergirl and the one Silver Phial song I've heard.Tilt Araizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210525564258147584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-37277736194505308622008-06-15T16:34:00.000-07:002008-06-15T16:34:00.000-07:00I just spun The Bee Gees Main Course on my trusty ...I just spun The Bee Gees Main Course on my trusty turntable on Friday. I think part of the experience is that you sit there with the album looking at the liner notes and really listening, because you have to be on hand to flip the record. You can't just put on a neverending playlist and walk away, letting it become background music. Vinyl is more intimate.

Records.<BR/><BR/>I got a great midcentury cabinet stereo with an awesome, awesome record player in it at Goodwill for $12.99 right before I moved last fall, and I am sure that's why I love this apartment so much. The experience as a listener is just so much better, as much as I adore the instant gratification of itunes. <BR/><BR/>I know some of my record buyer is me actively trying to replace my youth, but it's also true that I feel like a spandy-fresh 8 yr old again every time I listen to "More of the Monkees".laphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129728708993920747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-62744231384492713952008-06-14T08:32:00.000-07:002008-06-14T08:32:00.000-07:00Record album cover art i so much more satisfying t...Record album cover art i so much more satisfying than CD cover art.maxsparberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773887613885555844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-33122659132654625392008-06-14T07:58:00.000-07:002008-06-14T07:58:00.000-07:00Again, right on, Jon.Stop by the We Finally Have A...Again, right on, Jon.<BR/>Stop by the We Finally Have A Record Player thread at the Room and let's chat.<BR/>Great writing.<BR/>IanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-8121474571486587512008-06-13T18:29:00.000-07:002008-06-13T18:29:00.000-07:00Jon.

There was something so natural and so relaxing and definitely nostalgic about listening to those records.<BR/><BR/>The designer geek in me was going ga-ga over the album art as well. Damn, I can honestly say it has been more than a decade since I last experienced a night like that. It was fucking beautiful. Thank you! <BR/><BR/>You know what? <BR/><BR/>Make a list of all the albums you dream of. I want to contribute to the Jonny and Trix dream record stack. I came across a treasure trove of 'em back home. I'll keep my eye out for the good ones. Just make the list!!! <BR/><BR/>xoxoxoxosuperbadfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18021303569879087260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-38372971879641817952008-06-13T16:51:00.000-07:002008-06-13T16:51:00.000-07:00i just got the Crosley CR40!i just got the Crosley CR40!MrDigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071830855114349752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-18455452431946847022008-06-13T16:48:00.000-07:002008-06-13T16:48:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.MrDigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071830855114349752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-46553157258583800842008-06-13T15:24:00.000-07:002008-06-13T15:24:00.000-07:00Oh, boy, you just set yourself up for THAT one!

AND she happens to love flipping through the stacks and looking at album cover artwork. Every crate holds a treasure.<BR/><BR/>You know, cd's just don't have that glorious crackle and pop that vinly does. That little nuance always takes me back.<BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>trix<BR/><BR/>So, when's our next trip to Ameoba?MissTrixihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396685421911541091noreply@blogger.com
