and lots of other stuff I can't remember. That's all from the past 5 days. It's funny; I don't feel as though I listen to music, but I'm always listening. It's just that I don't listen the way my friends listen. For me, listening to music is an active-participation kind of thing. I'm taking it apart, putting it back together, messing with it... not just kicking back and enjoying it. Ahhh... I miss those days.

Hey all,
I've been rediscovering my vinyl collection... that's aaa records, like albums for you youngans... haven't owned a turntable in years... recently aquired one. Wow .... I'm not going to start a debate about which is better quality wise (hopefully, lol...), each medium has it's advantages... but no arguing the mixes sound vastly different between the 2. (cd vs record) Really neat to rediscover the 'organic' experience of having the album cover, sleeve, and just the '3-D ness" of the recordings on vinyl. I bought Radiohead, OK Computer on vinyl, just to have a new one to compare.... so much cool artwork on the sleeves....took me right back to my room, at 13 years old, listening to records, looking at the artwork, lyrics, just too cool.
So for me.... Pink Floyd, Gordon Lightfoot, Kiss, Led Zep, Hall & Oates ....lol someone help, I'm stuck in the 70s.... except for Radiohead of course.
Thanks, fun thread! Regards, Rob

good point. One of the reasons I gave up the ipod as a primary listening device (besides having respect for my ears)....

Catching a few theme songs from some great programs:
••• Meet the Press
••• Countdown with Keith Olbermann
••• Real Time with Bill Maher
••• The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
••• CSPAN 1,2, & 3
••• NPR World News
••• BBC News
••• Tavis Smiley
••• Charlie Rose (probably the best theme of all!)
Those guys really know how to write a theme song and make good money from it as well. A repeatable TV theme is one of the best ways to put the kids thru college, buy a big house and retire (for those who would even want to retire).
Not so hot on the Fox News themes.
