    What's a record store?

    You mean you don't have a collection of Scott Joplin 78's that get played on an RCA Victrola your living room? You call yourself an old timer?

    My wife got rid of my vinyl years ago like the mom who threw out the baseball cards.

    I am 100% digital but there really is nothing like putting a disc on the turntable.

    When I was single if I could get the girl to my place to listen to records it was a 81% sure thing that my musical genius would get her pants off.
    Music was many a halfbrain's savior during the young and clumsy years.

    It's a great time to own a vinyl pressing plant. Those guys have more business than they know what to do with at present.
    Henry Rollins said in an interview that the only way to listen to music is on vinyl. He said mp3s are criminal and rob the artist of their soul, or something like that.

    He's right on MP3s. They are compressed, shitty sounding garbage. But High Res (96/24 or better) digital can be really, really good, especially for music that was recording digitally which is pretty much anything past the 80's (a few artists today still record to analog tape, however).

    81% of my best friends dates are digital and there ain't nothing wrong with it (I own a shit ton of CDs too) but they all agree you can't top a quality vinyl rig. Multiple listening test have confirmed this. But as big of a vinyl dork as I am, it's never been involved in helping me close a sale as a single guy. SAD.
    Sorry.













    I was projecting.

    True SalemKewg. When I was last a single guy 81% of the dates did come from internet leads. That's where the chicks are these days. If your stat line shows 6'6" and you have a jerb, combined with a profile pic showing a full head/not fat, it's not hard either.

    Not nearly as successful when you post 5'6" so I lie and say 5'8. Might have to try out the 6'6" strictly for online fun.

    Actually though, what is a record store?

    Imagine a comic book store filled with creepy old perverts. Back in the day tho it was a place to score cool posters and cut off t-shirts with the British Flag on them Shout out to "Mirage"
    Sarkasm my friend Sarkasm.
