Mike, ��� While moving my many books to a new location I ran across your thesis, or whatever, about�use of recordings in broadcasting.�� I don't think I ever read this in its entirety.� Is it�worth a thorough review today in my retirement.�� Jack� ________________________________ From: Michael Biel <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Thu, August 12, 2010 12:20:56 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Who's still listening to vinyl? - CNN.com On 8/12/2010 6:45 AM, Tom Fine wrote: > Some of these "I-reports" definitely bring out the fetishistic aspects of vinyl >collecting -- the touching and smelling of LPs, the drama and ritual of >de-sleeving, cleaning, playing, and re-sleeving, and of course the deep >psychological implications of having hundreds of pounds of semi-antique media >clogging a living space. > > -- Tom Fine > (owner of thousands of semi-antique media and several turntables -- sick, sick, >sick ;) ) My favorite posting is the 14 year old girl (WHY is she using the screen name "Enema"??) who got interested in vinyl when she found her grandmother's collection in the attic.� Although I had been playing records since I was 2 or 3, I got my real start in collecting when I came across my father's 78s in the attic when I was about 8.� I was taken back to the flapper era of the roaring 20s just like this girl is being taken back to the era of the 60s.� If this happens enough maybe record collecting will not die out -- although I wish this girl had found 78s and is being taken back to the roaring 20s!� However, thinking of this girl as a "vinyl fetishist" brings in a whole 'nuther meaning!
