The song on my remains would be "Is That All There Is?"
New way for audiophiles to die!
This is no joke. I was reading the obituaries online as I usually do. There was an advertisement for cremation with a picture of a vinyl record. That caught my attention. The ad stated that cremated remains can be turned into many different objects including vinyl records! Who woulda thunk. I don't have the link but it was mcall.com Click on obits or google it. This opens new possibilities. What genre of music do you want to come back as? Joe

Shouldn’t this post read “ He’s dead Jim “ now what do we do ? Man I was feeling all literal and the guys (hypothetical at that ) allready dead ! What a let down . I was hoping to read about an electrocution from a fuse installed backwards , or a guy that was crushed under an entire pallet of Double Impact Teckton’s . WTF , not even poisoned by secret terminal treatment fluid ( KGB Style ). But after death , vinyl is a cool idea . So would that be considered a “ Master Pressing “? When the kids die you could have a Re-release ! Man I better go take my meds ! I like the Moody Blues idea , I’m gonna be “ Days of Future Passed “. So to my “ Sicker than most peeps “ cheers and keep on spinning , Mike. |
@elizabeth I love your answer to how to deal with one's remains. I like the idea of a plain old pine box with no lining so I can naturally decompose back into the earth, via worms and whatever else finds me appetizing. Reading your post reminded me of the scene from The Revenant where Leonardo Dicaprio almost meets his end. Quite a fitting way to go and a true recycling of one's self. All the best, Nonoise |
There was a movie called Soylent Green (1973) starring Charleton Heston, based on SciFi writer Harry Harrison's book Make Room Make Room (1966). At the end (SPOILER ALERT) they find out that the protein meals being fed to the masses, were actually recycled people. Great movie but my wife and I always look at sushi or protein bars and mutter "Soylent Green"! Adrian |
Man, Soylent Green! I believe that was Edward G. Robinson’s final film - no pun intended. However, the recycling into vinyl thing does present a problem for some of us who’ve grown up with the religious sentiment - and I paraphrase - that we are in effect “dust, and to dust we shall return.” LP’s and dust? Vinyl’s kryptonite! |
