confessions of a vinyl junkie...

yes, i'll cop to the charges. i love records. f*@k CD's, what is a cassette and mp3's don't have grooves. don't get it twisted, lifted or confused. i ain't the bestest DJ at all, but i've got my 12's and i've got a small collection of about 1500 or so pieces of truly loved vinyl. ok, there are 1 or 2 pieces that i don't love, but they came from the record pool. i need a new mixer and some studio monitors for what i really want to be doing (mixing & producing), but that's another post.

there's nothing on the planet like vinyl for audio. maybe it's the hypnotic path that the stylus follows while the 12 spins one of my favorite pieces. maybe it's that slightly irritating yet rhythmic static sound that's heard when the stylus reaches the back end of the groove and has nowhere else to go. shhhhpt! shhhhpt! shhhhpt! shhhhpt! yeah, that's definitely something you will never hear on a CD or cassette. aaaahhh! the wondrous realm of slip covers, tone arms and slip mats. perhaps i cannot truly explain the attraction, but it exists nonetheless.

VINYL I LOVE YOU!

okay, i'm tripping. i do love vinyl but i'm also tired as all hell. i haven't slept yet today. i need to go to bed before i have to go back in to work tonight. on that note...

make like solar after a supernova...

PEACE
