https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bi...t-heading-towards-niche-status-vinyl-analysis This might be of interest; it’s from Sept. & has lots of numbers & such. And yup it mentions the moves Best Buy & Target have made w/cds.

Been hearing great hype for Bumblebee! Very exciting. Mom said ppl have been meh about Aquaman but I still want to see it. It looks like a fun ride. Kinda looks imo like a lighter version of Man of Steel mixed with Thor: Ragnorak.

 

Apparently according to some VR leaks Valve is making games again. one will be set in the half life Universe.

 

The last time I bought vinyl was late summer. Rogue One soundtrack which is 4 sides with great gatefold artwork. And MJ's Bad record new on 180G vinyl.

I saw those Thriller releases too @christophero30 but I've already got 2 original pressings of that record. Hopeing to find Dangerous new or used.

 

I find the whole Vinyl revival really weird. I like to have all of my music with me in a tiny device in my pocket, seems wasteful to make giant discs you have to keep in your house only, when there's such a great alternative already.

And I hear absolutely no loss of 'quality' when listening to MP3's compared Vinyl sound. Makes not one jot of difference to me in that department

 

I don't mind if people collect records or CDs or whatever I would just rather them be used than sit on some shelf.

 

I enjoy listening to music on vinyl, cd, and on streaming services, not to mention radio on occasion.

And there is most certainly a difference in sound quality with vinyl compared to digital. The files are compressed so much to meet a certain criteria that much warmth and overtones are lost, the dynamics are limited, and the drums and bass, in particular, lose some of the vibrancy of their groove and impact which is sorely missed when concerning the rhythm section.

And for some, vinyl is not a revival at all, but simply a longtime continuation of listening habits. Not to mention it's an incredibly fun hobby and holding the original artwork in your hands, while often reading the lyrics on the sleeve while listening is an enjoyable and edifying experience.

 

all this talk is reminding me of my dad's old Vinyl records.

John Denver, Fleetwood Mac, Leo Sayer to name a few...

LOL Leo Sayer, anyone remember him?

 

Just got the Platinum Trophy in Middle-Earth: Shadow of War!

It's probably been my favourite new game since it came out last October, I've kept playing it throughout the last year, particularly over the summer. Such a fun experience, and I really hope there'll be a sequel

 

Wish me luck on my last final.

 

Might be able to pop on before it starts

 

I thought your were supposed to be banned until after your Finals were over

 

good luck on yer Final Johhny K Five!

 

Good luck! You’ll be fine I’m sure.

 

You must not have the ear of an Audiophile then- the change in sound is quite noticeable- it gives the feeling of having the band or the singer right in front of you. And I’m also a nostalgic of a time I never grew up in so I love it personally.

i feel you B...

whatever the heck i'm still dealing with goes all the way back to thanksgiving week! (i think at some point i just caught a 2nd and 3rd virus as my experience of each round of symptoms was slightly different...but yeah, more than 3 weeks of continual cold symptoms of one type or another...not fun! tho i shouldn't whine as ppl like @Prime Jedi and @Dandelo have been dealing with way worse issues!)

edit:

^which of course never stops me from doing so

 

Amen. I feel the same way about books too. Don't just buy it to literally put it on a shelf. I'm not a big fan of form over function.

oh, i'm totally the same way...when i was growing up (teen years), i always thought "why couldn't i have been growing up in the 60s?!"...i'm _very_ nostalgic for that time, even tho I never experienced it!

of course, now I'm also nostalgic for the 80s too

 

Good morning. The 70's were the decade of giant everything. Giant cars, giant speakers, giant records, giant stereos, and giant phones. Now get the **** off my lawn.
