Snap, Crackle, Pop
I miss records. I miss LP’s; big, fat, fragile, vinyl records with all their flaws. I miss cover art and liner notes. I miss that hiss in the background. I miss that rich imperfect sound.
I’m going to go out this weekend and look for a record player. That’s right, a record player not a turntable. Then I’m going to look for some records to play so I can sit back and bask in the imperfect sound while I look at the cover art and read the liner notes.
Walk on...

I have tons of records... but I cannot find a record player. Let me know how your search fairs. When my player died, I thought the world had ended. It turns out, I'm just a tad dramatic.
...but I do miss that hiss.
I have TONS of albums and 45's... you know, you're making me feel OLD!
Hit the antique stores!
Yay for vinyl!
RYN - I wish!
Yeah, he done went and made me feel old too TH1SL1F3. I still have my turntable, and it works, I have my albums too. Unfortunately, all that fine vintage stereo equipment passed hands to my brother years ago. I still say it's mine though.
I miss the "snap, crackle, pop" too. And the things done during those sounds. I miss my youth and think I'd like to visit it if it were possible. Notice I said "visit."
