2622174, I'm just hoping we're not a dying breed Posted by imcvspl, Mon Oct-31-11 02:10 PM
Shit really hit me how convenience had taken away from actually sitting down with a record. I've (we've) had enough listening experience to go into any medium and experience it, but the conveninece of things have a lot of that aspect of it being taken for granted.
Basically I just had a flashback to when I was a kid and opened up my first gatefold. I had given my daughter that experience a few years ago, but we've been without records for a few years. You gotta know how good it felt to watch her pull out the Pointer Sister's live album, put it on the turntable and look at the pictures in the gatefold. I can play her favorite songs in the world but it wouldn't match that experience of hearing their version of Salt Peanuts for the first time. ________ Big PEMFin H & z's █▆▇▅▇█▇▆▄▁▃ http://concretesoundsystem.com Mo'Nium - http://monium.tumblr.com/
