The B-est of B-sides

Happy record store day! I hope you went out and bought some good music. I didn’t. Part of me misses the days of picking up a tape or CD and listening to it straight through while checking out the cool album art and possibly even lyrics. I remember even going to record stores at 12:00 am Tuesday mornings to be the first to get the new releases. Yeah, I was crazy.

I’m jealous of Scott Heisel’s finds.

When my Mom passed away I inherited her vinyl collection. A month or so ago I borrowed a record player and checked some of it out. Her music isn’t for me, but I did like the sound. I haven’t ever really listened to vinyl before. I understand now how some people think vinyl sounds the best. I don’t know if I agree, but it does have a different nice sound. Part of me wants to start collecting vinyl, but I’m kind of over owning physical media. I got boxes and boxes full of CDs, DVDs, and books stashed away in storage. I’m just sick of the clutter. As much as I prefer physical media, and miss the good ol’ days, I’m all digital now.

There was even a new Homestar Runner video today to celebrate record store day.
