"Yeah ummmmm... MP3's suck"
Mon Oct-31-11 10:34 AM by imcvspl

  

          

So hooked up the turntable this weekend, and opened up the three boxes of vinyl I had in local storage. Just playing random joints. Man.... fuck that MP3 shit. Shit is not a fucking listening experience. Gatefold vinyl, flipping plates, reading liner notes. That's how you fucking listen to music. Helps when you got a nice glass with a likkle something to sip on too.
