So, ladies and gentlemen - for Christmas this year I was given my first record.
Yes, you heard/read me right.....a record. A vinyl.
This year, while we are surrounded by piracy, digital downloads, P2P sharing, iTunes, download album cards, and last but not least - I found wrapped under the tree looking suspiciously like a wall calendar - a record.
It was the new Dave Matthews Band album - Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.
I am estatic!
The quality and life of music is becoming shorter and shorter.
People of this file sharing generation have no "Collection" of music - they have their most recent playlist and as many singles as they can possibly download onto their harddrive, whether it be legitimate paid for singles or not.
I was so pleased to see an actual tangible piece of music sitting there :) And I have a feeling this is the beginning of my very own love affair with vinyl and the sound that it offers. Hmmmmmm - now where to find a record player.
Once you find that record player, have I got a site for you! Go to GEMM.com . It's a record collector's heaven. GEMM is the oldest marketplace on the internet specializing mainly in facilitating sales between buyers and sellers of music. There are millions of items listed from tens of thousands of sellers around the world.
