I miss lps. Albums came in two, short halves. You had to constantly interact with your turntable to listen to lps. A changer could play a bunch of sides so albums were split up into two sets basically. That required a kind of discipline that has been lost. Well, it could be said that a lot of "electronic" music counts as album sides in each song. But there is still that interaction with the turntable. You played one side of an album and then you had to dance over to the turntable and decide whether to flip the album or stick it in its sleeve and pull another one out. Well, that's what I've been doing tonight and it's very different from lining up a playlist and clicking on play.
I'm a bit drunk so this is mostly blathering.
Yay for drunken rambling!! LOL I totally agree, Alan. I love LPs... There is a sort-of art to them; they require constant attention. They sound fantastic. Pops and snaps are brilliant. :) -- Brian
