"No Life Till Vinyl!"

No really, I can quit any time that I want!!

I'm a walking paradox. Both sour and sweet, I tread the line between extremes. I have officially completely and totally fallen in love with the sound of vinyl records, and believe I can actually hear my other hobbies (comics, videogames) swirling down the drain as I type this.

If there are any altruistic vinyl Jedi out there willing to take on the tutelage of a young (well maybe not) padawan and train her in the ways of the Groove, IM now, or forever hold your peace. May the Groove be with you.

God... I am such a geek!

Double Whammy!

Last night, as I was ready to sit down and relax to some good music, I decided to do a sound test of sorts. Alphabetically, the B-52's are the first artist in my record collection, and their 1983 effort, "WHAMMY!", is the earliest of their LP's in my collection (and a gold stamped promo copy at to boot).

The first time is always the best.

So, I've finally got my wicked new turntable, and Audio-Technica AT-PL120, and it's pretty smokin! After assembling and calibrating it last night (balancing the tone arm was a new experience for me but I passed with flying colors) I decided to give it a test spin. So I pulled out one of the few discs in my collection that I hadn't actually played before, the soundtrack to the 1965 musical "When The Boys Meet The Girls".

I went ahead and gave the vinyl a good wet clean and made a mental note tha… Continue

Crystal Are you OK? the Stereo is now all pack up so no music for at least a week.Just as I got my Shellby Lynne LP from Elusive Disk,oh well.I hope ther is no problem with the new floor install

Crystal,Well, I just boxed up all the lp's and put them in the garage, only took 2 hours. I'll do the Stereo tomorrow or Sunday I sawthat more Metallica resissues are due out in the next few months on the elusive disc web site,under coming attractions there on the last few pages.

Your are correct,and it is shipping now, very limited supply.. Chris thinks I should blog about getting in to classical music through used Lp's.I said ok,but I have to come up with an approach.

Hey Crystal, I just got an E-mail from Music Direct. Lars & the boys" Countdown "is being release as a gram 2disk 180gram with bonus tracks by Mo Fi. for $39.99
At 7:05pm on October 19, 2008, Paul Luscusk said…
Yeah, but I paid over $23,000 for this floor and they are going to do it right.
At 3:10am on October 19, 2008, Paul Luscusk said…
Crystal, Guess what I get to do. The people that put in our new hardwood floor copped to the fact that they screwed up and are giving us a different new floor. that means I have to take down the Stereo system, and repack up all the Lp's by 10-28, Only took them 1 1/2 weeks to decide.I'm happy except for all the workI have to do.I guess you could say ARRRRAGH!!!
At 4:23pm on October 14, 2008, Paul Luscusk said…
I knew it!! I thought that if you where playing a180gram 45 it had to be Lars and the boys reissue.

John replied to John's discussion 'Peter Paul and Mary are no more'
Yes it was a catchy tune and song. Everybody read into it waht they wanted to. Still a great little kids song about growing up.
