I love collecting vinyl and really love listening to it. Maybe guys
in Jacob's and my age range like lugging big amps around, and
listening to vinyl because unlike the older guys we didn't grow up
with it being the norm. I do remember in 3rd grade my music teacher
telling all of us about this new thing called a CD, and records would
be no more. Personally I think brand new vinyl on the first play
sounds better than a CD. There's too much stuff out there to buy.
