am i buggin you? don't mean to bug you...
okay edge, play the blues...
-- bono
yes, it's been quite a while -- yes, i've been lazy -- yes, i've missed this -- but i truly haven't felt as though i've had anything of value to offer...
i bought a turntable and have been scouring ebay for old albums -- got some at cd warehouse as well -- only got burned on one and that was really my fault (sting's bring on the night is a double lp and it only contained one -- but at $1.99, i don't feel compelled to go back and gripe...) as beck has said, it's a great hobby -- what i like the most about it is how it takes me back in time as i'm rifling through the old albums at the store or online...
some of the gems i have picked up:
paul simon's graceland -- this album is still incredible -- but it was earth shattering when it came out in 1986...
tool's undertow -- actually, i got this one brand new -- this is about as "heavy" as i get -- there are just times when you need it
the smiths' strangeways, here we come, the queen is dead and meat is murder -- enough said (although i find it to be interesting that kids in school are listening to the smiths again -- it all comes around full circle...)
U2's rattle and hum -- the line leading off this entry is courtesy of silver and gold on this album...
rem's murmur, document, life's rich pageant and green -- seriously, i forgot just how much i used to love rem...
and that's just a small peek into the new, ongoing collection...
good to be back...

Where did you get a turntable? I've been looking for one that's relatively cheap. I have Murmur, Reckoning, Fables of the Reconstruction and Document on vinyl but no way to play them.
ReplyDeletei got it through ebay -- it's new, and i think i paid about $50 for it -- got it hooked into my receiver and surround sound system with my tv...
