I’m working on getting the Cure albums on vinyl. I don’t just “collect everything”, and I’m not one of those music collectors who cares a lot about having a particular pressing of an album or whatever. I just want it to sound good. I realize a lot of these newly minted LPs probably come from digital recordings, but hopefully a few I’m getting a few good ones.
Some guys are car guys. They love cars. They’ve always wanted a cool car. I was never that guy. From the time I was in about 5th grade I just wanted a good stereo. That’s it. Other than skateboards and root beer, my stereo is my one indulgence. When I went to college my roommate had a great stereo. Man, that was nice. And when I graduated, my mom and dad got me one, and that’s all I wanted. This is a different stereo (below), but man I love having it.
I good stereo is crucial for musical ear joy.
Re: Root Beer…Try Abita or St. Arnold’s. Both are bad ass.
Trav is into vinyl these days too. I have to stay away, cause I’d buy it all….except the Cure.
I am aware of your love only of music about driving too fast.
Just not into mopey shoe gazing. I also like songs about the devil, girls named Sheena, Anarchy in the UK, and Fun Fun Fun! I don’t wanna be sad.
I find the Cure calming. Don’t get me wrong – I am Pro-Satan.
Haven’t tried Abita. I do like St. Arnolds. Good stuff.
A good stereo. A comfy bed. Good coffee. A skateboard. That’s the real stuff.
The Cure? I mean, we’re still friends and all, but, The Cure?
Boys don’t cry Paul…
ah. I see how this works now!
