Well, I guess I've been busy lately, hence no updates, not even any random comments, thoughts, or brain dumps. Well, I just read an interesting article about a group in Idaho seeking to preserve music in the vinyl format. As a former DJ, I am all for it. I still have all of my old house/techno/etc. records, and I regularly search craigslist for used turntables to add to a future home audio system. The subject of the article mentions the warmer tones of vinyl (as opposed to the cold, clean, compressed sound of the ubiquitous digital formats) contributing to a richer listening experience. The article also talks about coffee shops and other such places holding "Vinyl Music Nights" where people gather and play records. I'd like to find one in the San Diego area. It could be a fun alternative to the usual bar scene. I'll keep you posted on whether I find that turntable. Until then, I have to get back to work - more to come.
Cheers
