having that thing you got is pretty cool though if you don't like carrying around 3 flight cases of records. i have to admit carrying that vinyl around as small as i am is a chore, but its a labot of love. going to the stores every week, riffling through bins, looking for tracks, buying vinyl, being in the community, its all changing. i'm not hip to it anymore.

i remember taking a track to get pressed on acetate a year back or so and the guy asked me why i just didnt burn it to cd and play it.

i just like the feel of vinyl, and seeing the grooves and reading the track that way.

i'm stubborn. i refuse to conform.
