Music is breathing. I'm always stumbling into the local independent record store. Its an escape. And I buy records. I'll tell you about them here. I might also toss in some crazy late-night observations as the music plays.
New Stereo Equipment!
Until today, when I listened to vinyl, I heard it through a weak stereo that wasn't made for turntables. Everything I heard on vinyl was very quiet and barely audible if anything was happening in the room besides the music. But today I bought myself new speakers and a new receiver to hook up to my turntable! I put on The White Album by The Beatles and it was loud! I also heard some Willy Mason and Jethro Tull at full volume. In addition to listening to vinyl at high volume, I can now also use my computer in collaboration with this new equipment to turn all my vinyl recordings into digital files for my iPod. Not that I'll stop listening to the records. Nothing quite compares to the experience of vinyl.
