Pavement.. velvet underground... and some newer stuff tooo agnostic front... really really great stuff IMO... =D so im happy.. i just gotta get the record player out *HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY* PS anybody wanna buy a neil young tape??
My mom has around 300 old frisbee type things I would use them but I have no idea how to use the record player.
Hmmm, I've got over 100 records in my loft, I've managed to get copies of most of them on CD now. I was quite happy with my record collection! It's funny picture discs just aren't the same any more!! It's been ages since I last played records - I've got about 6 albums next to the stereo just now. Before that it'd been even longer since I played any, and when I tried the first one, and it sounded funny I suddenyl remembered that you've got to set the speed right! Oooops!
I'm 19 and listen to the odd record...... plus records are coming back in, i have records of bands that released an album last year.. (cannot say the album title... it begins with C) Merls
I'm 19 and pretty much only buy vinyl. I asked for (and got) a record player last christmas (2001) and since then I've bought 34 vinyl albums, 10 12" singles and a few 45s. Music sounds better when it scratches and pops.
Analgoue music has it's place - kinda warm and cosey. But I must admit to have enjoyed going digital with music - even though it's too damned expensive!
You know, I've heard that before. In fact, the last time I heard it was just a few weeks ago and I wondered how long it will be before we see CDs with "digitally added cracks, pops and hisses"?
I still wouldn't buy CDs. You scratch a CD and that's it, the thing won't play. You scratch a record and all you get is a bit of a pop or it sticks and you can still shift the needle on and still hear the music.
Not an issue if the CD is cared for. I have been buying CD's for 10 years and sratches havnt been an issue, the first CD I ever bought and my most listened to CD, 'Nevermind' is still perfect. Out of 200 or so CD's, only one or two have a problem with scratches, but on decent stereos they work fine. And the CD scratch repair stuff you can buy is actually pretty good. I have about 100 records, I enjoy looking around for rare ones, I recently purchased a mono version of Bob Dylan's 'Freewheelin', a very rare find. Jim
