What’s playing on your turntable…. Does anyone care?

@dayglow “…the desire to question(mock) a 20+ year old thread…”

Not at all. 
 

l have only really posted for the last year or thereabouts. I dropped out five years ago because of the glitchy nature of the site and came back in four years later. I have only ever posted one other discussion before this one.

l had no desire to pick on the thread you mention. There are loads of others of the type on Audiogon, “What’s playing on your system?” “What’s on you CDP tonight” “Jazz for aficionados” all on the “Recently Popular” summary, plus one other from memory… the mundane sounding, “Tune of the day”
 

One thing l will do is credit the original 20+ posting that appears to have been a totally “original idea” and a proven success for Slipknot1 who as an early founding member started it all. Imitation is the best form of flattery, but for me too much of the same dilutes, and devalues the appeal of the original.

@mylogic    Thx for the non-combative reply!

@alvinnir2   Thx for taking time to reply!

The almost complete absence of

1. Record Stores 

2. Audio retail brick and mortar 

3. Informed, curated radio stations

Leads to this website and the many threads devoted to sharing musical favorites that henceforth were part and parcel of the three above listed repositories of musical discovery.

@jpwarren58 The old ways……. In the absence of….

Total agreement from me.

l fear the demise of all physical music media is upon us. The shape of things to come in a new fickle world. Music predominantly from a phone, tablet, streamer and the Amazon Alexa Echo Dot followers. 

@mylogic  - I care! And I share.

I'm a participant in that thread. I receive joy from it, knowing some of my internet acquaintances are also enjoying their vinyl playback systems. I often see a post regarding a record I've never heard, a new audiophile version of an old favorite, or just some forgotten favorite.

I posted last night, and tonight, some records that suited my mood at the time. I find them interesting. Personally I like just dropping them on the thread to see if I get any comments. I'm fine either way, but it's fun when someone comments on my selections.

Here's my challenge to you. Post to "what's on your turntable tonight" and see what happens.
