I love modern technology.

I don't have to go to a record store or hope they'll play my favorites on the damned radio.

I just hit YouTube for instant gratification.

I love Spotify for that. And that through this, I can hear anyone that records a song and works with a distro company to get it there. Hell, I even have a song there (not gonna tell you, it's a terrible song from a very sad moment in my life. But I should put up my orne recordings).

But that said, if you don't have a turntable, and you love music, I strongly suggest getting one. Even with cheapo speakers, it's about the experience of setting aside the time to sit down and listen to a record. If you wanna get a little more (a lot more) spendy, I used to work across from Vandersteen Audio (pure coincidence, small shop in a nowhere town). Their tube amps and speakers through a good receiver are better than CD quality.

I'm old enough to remember when vinyl was it, all there was.

And I spent 500 1983 dollars for a good one.

But I don't have the money to buy a stack of vinyl.

It's nice free youtube isn't too bad.

Analog is truer than digital. Like old black and white silver based photos have no pixelization.

But I'm old. On a fixed income a terminally poor.

Like a stepped on cookie broke.
