Best of Vinyl

It will be a sad day when such things as records are gone and forgotten.  I shall now elaborate on exactly WHY this would be a tragedy by listing the virtues of vinyl...

1.  What would my room be without a record player?  They lend a vintage air to any place they inhabit.

2.  That crackly noise that every record makes... THE best.

3.  Who doesn't like cheap?  You can get records for almost nothing these days.

4.  There's nothing that quite compares to watching the time lapse on each song by watching the needle on it's way to the center of the record.

5.  A shelf full of records in their jackets is ... just ... superb.

6.  The album art is so big, you can see little details you'd never notice on your iPod.

7.  Boston... on vinyl... which is almost as good as...

8.  Kansas's Vinyl Confessions on vinyl.

9.  To play another album, you get to pull a record out of it's jacket, slip it onto the turntable, start the turntable, then place the needle on the record.  Is that not so much more satisfying than touching your iPod screen?

10.  45's

Well, that's a start.  I could go on and on, but I understand that some people can only drop their jaws so many times before they fall off.  Goodnight, good morning, or good heavens, whichever the case may be for you at this moment.
