My turntable

It shouldn't be a huge surprise that I've been in the attic to fetch my turntable, since I've been reading and writing a lot about vinyl records during the last few days. I wouldn't consider myself as a collector, but I still own about 100 vinyl records. Most of them were bought in the eighties and even if my taste has evolved since then, I still appreciate listening to most of them.

My own music reviews

OK, I just wanted to let you know something. I guess that some people who get here might wonder why I read and comment music blogs without writing any reviews myself.

I've been a member of Epinions since Fall 2000 and I've written 30 music reviews, many of them about previously unreviewed albums and I don't feel like deleting these reviews or pasting them into this blog. Please feel free to check out my reviews here. On my epinions profile, you will find links to many more writers and most of them are specialized in the field of music.

Yet another Music Blog

Carl (cf. my last blog entry) does have a nice LP collection, but if you are looking for something really crazy, check out 20th Century Music, Ron Kane's blog. He has lots of interesting LPs, singles and CDs from Ryuichi Sakamoto to CAN. Frankly, I'm not sure to own a single album he doesn't have, or if I do, it might well be one of my On-U Sound reggae albums or thinks like Hail or Simon Fisher Turner. This guy could open a museum or an archive for a big radio station!

Interesting Music Blog

Do you still own a turntable? Or maybe I should ask: Did you ever own a turntable? What, you don't even know what a turntable is? Well ok, way back in the last century, CDs, MP3s, home computers didn't even exist, but people were already listening to recorded music. They used big discs, the so-called vinyl records, turning at 33 or 45 rpm that were read by a needle and electrically amplified by the above mentioned turntable.

Anyway, some people still have vinyl records and one of these folks is presenting them here. By the way, his name is Carl.
