There are countless entries I could create in this, my music category. Unfortunately, one has to start somewhere, and one will start small. All good things in all good time, I suppose.
I am a vinyl junkie. I admit it. There aren't that many of us, but by some accounts our numbers are growing. You can also find us in places such as the Vinyl Asylum.
With that said, you can imagine the strange variety of topics that await discussion here. For today, though, I only wish to leave you with a couple of tidbits.
The first is the recent "release" of Alan Parsons' original 4-channel mix of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. If you are bit-torrent saavy, you may have already seen this flying about. It's a DTS encoded disc, so it's not of much value unless you happen to have a DTS decoder. If you do, though, and you're a Floyd fan, go get this. It should still be easy to find. You won't be disappointed.
The other tidbit I wanted to share with you was the joy I discovered while frequenting my favorite local record store yesterday. I don't know how many of you are familiar with Harvey Danger. Regardless, check this out. This band had the guts to release their latest album, "Little By Little" in its entirety as a free download. It is still available on their web site. If you haven't heard it, I implore you to check it out. If you do, and you enjoy it half as much as I have, I then implore you to buy it. I had been meaning to pick this up on CD ever since the day I downloaded it. I admit it has been quite a while since I did that, but my procrastination paid off yesterday when I found a copy of Little By Little in the new releases bin... on vinyl.
Happy spinning,
David
