Stegor & Sam say: " I miss albums... sigh." This one's for you!
Late last year Stegor was reminiscing about the fabulous artwork that used to appear on vinyl album jackets. I tried (in vain) to point out that most of the time the art had nothing to do with the music, but my argument was short-lived, as Sam-With-No-Band quickly jumped in to support Steg's sentiments.
"I miss albums... sigh."
I dug around in my vault and came up with a rough-cut from 1991. OLD VINYL was composed in a motel room while working out of town with Boilermakers Local 555.
Hey, by the way, how does one get a link to appear in these blogs??

Splendid! Cool song. I love the tone of the guitar. So crisp and uneffected. Your voice has changed. Heehee. Funny how thoughts from 17 years ago still fit today. Doesn't seem that long ago that vinyl went out of style.
I do recall your comment but I never got back to it before it slipped off the bottom of the page. Lets see, you dissed my hero (when I was 17) Roger Dean I think...
1991...

i found a proper old-school vinyl shop here in oslo, råkk and råll (geddit)...and you can pick up some quality (mainly 70s and 80s) vinyl for 10kr, brilliant...

I was in the Virgin Megastore and there's a whole section of vinyl. Not just electronic. The Who is still making vinyl, and some new people too, like the New Pornographers.

My song isn't getting enough attention yet. ;-)

I miss the social aspect of purchasing music at a record store.
Pouring through stacks.
Hearing what the clerks are playing.
Bullshitting with other people in the store.
The anticipation of putting on those new purchases for the first time.
Stumbling upon a great (or even terrible) album, because the album cover intrigues me.
Music is my religion. And record stores were my temple. Like the Hebrews in biblical times, we will need to rebuild and rededicate our holy place. And it will happen some day.

Hey Terry -
Here's that song.
Old Vinyl
Here's how you do that. I can't just type it because it will become a link and you won't be able to see it so I have to break it up and it gets confusing but here goes:
First type this without the quotes: "
Then type this without the quotes:
">Old Vinyl"
I loved hanging out in record shops when they weren't big conglomerate chains. Names like Hot Licks, The Optic Nerve, The Electric Fetus, Oar Folkjokeopus... I used to hang out and help people find records even though I didn't work there. I walked into a store once when they were playing Floyd's Wish You Were Here LP and I took it upon myself to watch people's reactions and guide them to the Floyd section when I could tell they were caught by the music. It used to be a place of discovery. I remember hearing Carry on Wayward Son for the first time. I know it's corporate sounding now, but nothing sounded like that before. Supertramp's Bloody Well Right is another song I heard first in a record store and was astounded (we're going back to childhood here). This stuff wasn't always "Classic Rock" - in it's time it was stuff nobody had heard before. Later on, post punk, things got really got exciting. For a little while...
