So glad I had the opportunity to see them last October. Taylor was amazing! He and Dave traded roles for a couple of songs, and I think that might've been a stronger version of the band.

Quite a few things here lately. My wife wanted to get back into vinyl, so got her an Audio Technica LP60X.

We have quite a few record stores here in Columbus, so she has been shopping around.

Her decision is to get mainly vintage records, with the thought being that a lot of the 1980’s and older albums have been recorded with vinyl in mind. Having gone back and listening to some 33’s, I can tell a difference. There is something about that sound of the record that I didn’t realize I was missing.

Anyway, the first record she got was a Johnny Mathis album. We spent about $60 today shopping about and she got 10 33’s and 3 45’s.

There are some things I want to get too, but will be looking for them used. Specifically, the soundtracks to Quentin Tarantino movies. I think they would be a tremendous value…but I can only find them new and they want $35 each.

So the fun will be in the search!

Hearing and seeing a classical composer reacting to this is very interesting, and so the rest of his channel seems to be also.

Please help me out of my misery, what record is that?
Blue vinyl, sigh!
And a LP!
On what looks like a good rig!

Super happy I was turned onto her while in Iceland. I picked up her vinyl while I could get one at a local shop.

It's Lightning to the Nations, DiamondHead - 40th anniversary re-recording
I remember it being new.
Well - that's not quite true. I remember Metallica covering them in maybe 1985/86 and that's when I got the original. On cassette tape.
The turntable is from Pro-Ject and it's playing over a Linn system (I'm not in the league of Sondek LP12s). Almost certainly not worth me paying for because I can't hear the difference between Blue vinyl and Black.

I remember being in Germany with the US Army in 1984 and going into a record store in Ansbach and seeing my first CD player. I put on the headphones and listen to the clarity and lack of noise of The Pretenders debut album and was sold. As soon as I could afford to, I got one, ditched my vinyl and never missed it,

Funny how that goes

Been on a bit of a nostalgia kick recently, spending time listen to original Fleetwood Mac and origin groups like John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Stan Webb's Chicken Shack.

Nostalgia? Well, this'll date me more than anything...

Sheesh, now I feel old(er). Not really old yet (60), but for some reason most of the early memories I have are based around music. As a very young kid I'd sit and watch Lawrence Welk. Loved the TV theme songs for shows I watched. Then later, Hee Haw. And The Midnight Special. First non-kid songs I remember are Petula Clark's Downtown and Matt Munro's Born Free.
