Online Vinyl Deals

This is a great discussion, but I gotta tell ya, while I enjoy the hobby very much this second time around, I do miss the "process" of the past. There was a bit more anticipation, surprise, it had more of a "waiting for Christmas morning" feel to it. You either heard about new releases or artists on the radio or read about them in Rolling Stone..........a magazine. When you heard something new you liked, it was more of a "moment" and then you had to wait for more information. You had to wait for a record release, then you had to leave your house to buy it, which was usually more of a pilgrimage with friends to the local record store followed by pizza and endless discussions about whatever you just picked up.

My local Tower Records was "The Place" to hang out at on a Friday night, lots of people, lots of new music and lots of great conversations. The ease in which we get and consume music today, in my opinion, took something away from all of this. Streaming is a wonderful thing, don't get me wrong, but in some ways, it's too simple, you don't have to really put anything into the process, you dial up whatever and their entire discography is there in your earbuds. I love technology, always have, and maybe it's my age as well, I've lived through Vinyl, 8-Tracks, tapes, CD's and back to vinyl, lol.

Imports were a big deal "back in my day" and hearing bands from the UK for the 1st time was an event in and of itself, the world got smaller and we lost something along the way. Not saying what we have now is bad, but there's a lot to be said for the ways of the past. And to tie this into the discussion at hand, there is NO new music without the music of the past, nothing now a days is completely "new" and that's fine. The art, is taking inspiration from the past and present and making it your own, in your own new way

Probably 90% of my albums I’ve listened to digitally before vinyl, but this is inspiring me to do that less. It’d be a nice surprise and force me to pay attention more. A few of my favorite albums ever, like OK Computer, In Rainbows, and In The Court of the Crimson King, were blind buys.
