If there was a Venn diagram of the music I listen to relative to almost anyone I know, the overlap is low. I’m not proud of this, but it’s a real thing. I’m super interested in learning more about new (to me) music and artists from others, but I don’t know many people who feel the same way.
Found more of my record collection, tonight. Last vinyl I bought in 2005 was all together. One of the albums, released in 1982, appears to be in original shrink wrap.
Connected a working turntable to my system, only to spend about a half hour attempting to coax the amp to use analog RCA inputs over HDMI. In these days of complexity, I needed to have the TV monitor on so I could see the settings menu. That operation not available on the front panel or the app.
Finished reading: The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness 📚
Now I will have to wait for the next installment. This has been a very enjoyable series, so far. If you’re the sort of person who would be interested in witches, vampires and demons then I say 5 stars, would recommend.
Amazing. After several weeks, Keybase let me know they verified me on Reddit. That wasn’t working for quite a while. Makes me wonder who or what was the problem.
I feel like an adult! In my fifth decade of life, my vinyl is no longer in crates.
It is officially 56 years since I took my very first breath
A Turntable Tale of Woe
I thought that it was just the stylus that my kid broke on my turntable. The record player sat idle for years as a result. I bought an upgraded stylus, which arrived today. However, after re-situating items in my setup to connect the ‘table, and pulling a crate of records out of storage, I learned the drive belt was wrapped around the gears in the mechanism under the platter. Unwinding the belt and returning it to its proper position was too little, too late.
Watching Big Brother, tonight. I have never seen such a meltdown and so many tears so early in the season.
That feeling when you read an article on any topic that can be summarized with the statement “Still, nobody knows.”
