Day 110 - Good Ol' Vinyl
120/365 (April 20, 2010) – Vinyl still embodies the warmth I love in recorded music. CD’s were just too crisp and cold sounding. I’ve digitized all of my old records, but am still working my way through a pile of vinyl from a friend. I’m going to try and clear these out and return them in the next month or so. That’s the goal anyway.
Curiously, vinyl seems to be making a small comeback. Several music bands recently recorded their albums onto good old vinyl medium. Blur, Hot Hot Heat, and Apollo Ghosts are three that have released vinyl records this past year. And there are more and more USB turntables popping up. We saw them in Costco a few months ago.
Vinyl isn’t quite dead, certainly not forgotten. I doubt we will see a big resurgence, might just be a few last gasps. But film hasn’t disappeared yet either….
