Star Cage Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Streaming music and listening to digital downloads is starting to become depressing for me. Not only are all the levels in the mixes too compressed, thus sucking out a lot of the emotion... But I also just don't feel comfortable with the throwaway nature of it all. What good is a piece of art that you can listen to whilst going for a run or whilst moving from room to room? Nobody wants to just experience paintings through their computer screen, but we do the equivalent with our music. This epiphany should have clicked with me much sooner than it has. I'm listening to Krimewatch's 2016 EP but I can't manage to attach an image of it. It looks cool.

lexicondevil Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Regular bowel movements are important. You can't keep that shit all locked up inside. So, remember to eat your fiber, kids. The nature of a good bowel movement is the act of throwing it away(or flushing if you have a toilet). I wish I came to this epiphany sooner, because my house really stinks.

Shelby Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I like both. And OP everyone is messing with you because this isn't a new thought. I recommend trying out Reddit if you want to gush to the 1x2 Kallax crew about how your life is whole now that you've started listening to vinyl. monsterrod, pepperonigin, erasedtapes and 1 other 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivions Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 If we begin to allow innocent and sincere posts like this, eventually the entire VC facade will crumble and we'll all end up on the floor sobbing and feeling our emotions.

I didn't realise that this was the "new thought" forum. I was just venting and thought this would be a place where I'd find some agreement. Maybe I made people cringe but nowhere does it say that this forum is for seasoned analogue kids who only listen to opinions if they're the "first pressing".

Post your setup OP ATLP120 Turntable, Zensor 3 Dali Speakers, Cambridge Audio Topaz SR10 Stereo receiver/amp and about 90% of my records wouldn't exist were it not for punk happening in the 70s... Whether it be straight up punk bands like Conflict or distant cousins of punk like Napalm Death. Then I've also got some Cat Stevens because I'm a god damn wild card.

Thomas³ Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I listen to one record every week or two, just don't have time for physical media. I'm happy with a good digital set-up, more than a good analog set-up. Seriously debating selling off everything but the essentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I'm in sorta the same situation. The stuff I don't care about isn't worth my time to sell. One day I'll get around to it, or have time to listen to records again.
