I've been extremely lax. Not in buying music, I've been purchasing quite a bit, actually, from sellers on Discogs and Musicstack, mostly. I've been lax in reporting it here. Before Coronavirus, I managed to find this gem, Fiction,...

Vinyl Junkie #12 - Arrival

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43655) • Denver, Colorado 15 Mar 20

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43655) • Denver, Colorado 10 Feb 20

The other night I was stoned to the bejeezus belt when out of nowhere, "Ah! Leah!" by Donnie Iris and the Cruisers popped into my head, followed by "Hey! I need to own a copy of that!" And it arrived in the mail today. Looking...

Vinyl Junkie #5 - With Sympathy

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43655) • Denver, Colorado 4 Feb 20

There I was, high as hell, wandering around Wax Trax II, with absolutely no plan other than picking up a used Tommy Bolin album I had seen the other day. I found myself just standing there, spacing out in the new vinyl section, in...

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43655) • Denver, Colorado 27 Jan 20

I started collecting vinyl records at around 10 years old (11, possibly. Somewhere around there,) when my aunt went off to college and gave me and my sister her collection of LP's and 45's. For me, it stuck, and propelled me...

Yep, I am now eight records into my quest to re-establish myself as a vinyl junkie. I am right on JJ's tail, only a thousand or so more and I'll be running neck and neck with him! On Wednesday, I upgraded my turntable, still a...

Vinyl Junkie

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43655) • Denver, Colorado 2 Jan 20

I became a vinyl junkie around 10 or 11 years of age, until the invention of the compact disc, when I became a CD junkie. My adult life has been quite nomadic, and I became weary of hauling all of those vinyl records around, and...

Those of you old enough will remember the 70s. Flared pants, vinyl records, no computers, no mobile phones, people used to drink TAB instead of Diet Coke, dial phones... I remember the seventies, I used to wear cheesecloth tops...

Do you miss vinyl records? Or are you of the cd and mp3 generation?

whywiki @whywiki (6066) • Canada 6 Oct 08

I can remember as a teenager how I would wait for my favorite bands to release a new album. We would rush down and spend our allowance on the latest record. Half of the fun was the album cover, the artwork and then the inner...

Long before there were MP3s, iPods, CDs, cassettes, and even 8-tracks (!) there was vinyl records. Who can forget the days when you could go to an actual ”record” store and fondle the latest albums while enjoying their beautiful...
