ouch

Another thing I like about records is that the medium just kinda *makes sense* in a simplistic, mechanical kind of way:

I scratch a record, I can *see* what is causing the pop. I can clean off little specks stuck in the grooves. Stuff like that.

A CD starts to go haywire and I have *no idea* what the problem is, and usually no way to fix or improve it. CDs are rude in that way.



EDIT: I have to say, though, that I don't hate CDs. Great for the car, great medium for trading & collecting live shows, and, yes, I'll even play them in the main living room system (one CD to about 10 records)!

I found a local record store yesterday that mostly sells records online (www.recordfinders.com) that has just about everything you can think of, all for $2 each. I got The Who Quadrophenia album with full covers, very good condition for $2. I couldn't believe what I was finding. Led Zeppelin Physical Graffitti (both LPs), $2. Van Halen discs, $2. I met the owner and he showed me the wharehouse of backstock he has. He has estimated well over 4 million records and trust me, I've seen it and I fully believe him. Some are in fair all the way to mint condition. Online, he sells everything for various prices. For the lucky who can get here, everything is $2. I walked away with 15 LPs yesterday, I don't think I'll get off as easily today!

I was passing through on the way back from a week in philly today and called and figured out how to get there....left with 26 records..all for $2 a piece...freaking great...got some great hair metal, ratt, motley crue, a few jimmy buffet, some stevie ray vaughn, johnny cash (finally got a good copy of folsom prison!), yes..just some great stuff...and at the prices he is at, it may be worth the roadtrip from raleigh on occassion!

Nick, sounds great. That place is excellent and the owner (forget his name) is really nice. I have already purchased over 60 LPs from him and the majority of them are in excellent shape. Let me know next time you are in town. +T...
