#5 Spinning the Black Circle

So, I'm not really sure if it qualifies or not, but it's my blog right? But recently I have been getting really stuck in to my old records. There's something really great about records, apart from the fact that I have some awesome albums.

My favourite trick, unplug the amp after lowering the needle, stick your head right up close to the needle: YOU CAN HEAR THE MUSIC! THERE'S NO AMP BUT YOU CAN HEAR THE MUSIC!

Ok, so apart from that, what about the negatives: lower fidelity reproduction, scratches, crackley dusty noises, having to turn it over half way through, having to buy new needles all the time. I could go on...

Well, I have given this question some thought, in various states of mind, and come up with the following definitive answer: the reason vinyl is still great even considering all the negatives is, It's big, and black, and round, and cool. That's it. End of argument.
