Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine

Still yawning Lol!!!  Happy listening.

“intentionality” resonates with me.  I often have friends over for bourbon/scotch sipping and jazz listening sessions, and it’s always vinyl.  Takes me back to undergraduate days: putting on a record to share with your friends was sharing a little part of your soul, being vulnerable, an expression of love, even.  The only thing I can compare it to in modern culture is inviting another couple into your home and cooking for them; that is an expression of love.  Very different from going out to a restaurant or getting takeout.  That’s what vinyl is to me.

I was watching a TV show tonight and the subject of Vinyl came up, just in passing, as having a warmer sound.  The response summed up the  whole thing for me.

"Vinyl lovers listen with their hearts.  Everyone else listens with their ears"   Have truer words ever been spoken?  Cheers.   

Great hot take. Accurate too. 

Did anyone say single malt ?

We are XXth. century people, tape and vinyl. Digital has no real place in our world, no meaning. We use it for convenience from time to time, as we do other things, that's all.
