Default Things I Will Miss in the Digital Age

I recently moved and am unpacking boxes when I came across my relatively old albums. I remember the day I bought this record. The album cover was as powerful as the music. I recall looking at the sleeves of the album as I listend to each record. Sadly, there will be generations that miss out on this.

A lot of bands are still putting their albums on vinyl. when I come across a new album I really like I buy it on vinyl if I can.

Vinyl is on the comeback, and anyway, people can often still look through the sleeves in CD cases.

But let's be honest, MP3s are a MUCH more convenient form of music!

I still miss The Empire Strikes Back soundtrack I had when I was a kid. And I am still keeping my ET soundtrack with the graphic of ET printed on both sides RIGHT ON THE VINYL! Even though I do not have a record player of any sort anymore.

International Record Store Day is on April 20. Lots of limited edition releases and one-day-only events and offerings. There are several hundred participating record stores.

Nah, it's always in the third Saturday of April. Just happened to be well timed this calendar year. I am not a huge vinyl guy, I own 2 records but I am interested in acquiring more. It's just fun really. One more thing to obsess over that isn't beer-related...

Dang I remember when reel to reel was the bomb and my dad had a Teac reel to reel.

Sad huh. But on the bright side I got tons of records.

I used to read through the CD inserts when I was first listening to an album and it was probably as enjoyable as looking at a vinyl cover.

Now people look at the artists web/social media pages, I'd guess to them that is as enjoyable as looking at a CD insert.

Side note - I loved inserts that had a lot of content. When they would only a single piece of paper and an album listing I was very disappointed.
