Nostalgia, hehe.
And I have... a grand total of four records. One single, one EP, and two full length albums. All of which I bought new, from current artists XD. One at Hot Topic, one a gift from a friend, and the other two online.
I plan on getting a record player for myself, if I ever finish my damned room. I've seen one at Target for quite some time...

Nostalgia, sai sai :D

and it's a lot more fun for me if it's cloudy :) I like it when it's kinda gloomy.

Yes cloudy and gloomy are generally better, so long as it doesn't start pouring. Sunny at this time of year means sunscreen, which is greasy and stings my eyes if I accidentally rub my face or something. Blegh.

Of course, I always use sunscreen anyway. Rather that than get super tanned or especially burned. I kind of have a perpetual farmer's tan on my arms though since I almost always wear t-shirts... It isn't like a straight line or anything, it's gradual, but... noticeable xD.

Yeah I haven't actually gotten the chance to listen to them though, evne though there is a record player in the house and it works, the speakers hooked up to it (It is part of an early stereo system that has a tape deck, a turn table, a radio, and a 5 disc changer...) are messed up or something though and it's hard to get to the wires so I don't know if they're disconnected or what.

Yeah, this stereo is my dad's. He has hundreds - maybe a couple thousand - records. Though now he mostly downloads and listens digitally. He's also converted many of his records into digital files. But he has tens of thousands of music files on his computer as well... My some 4-thousand music files and 100 or so CDs pale in comparison LOL.

Yes, definitely. I love music, but there is a certain amount of social exploration required to really get into more of the kind of music that I like, so I don't have as much partly because I don't go out as much or try new things as easily.

That's cool. I can't go out and buy CDs for the things that I do perk up an interest in because they aren't in Best Buy or Target or Barnes & Noble or Meijer, haha. Those are the shops that are closest walking distance to me... Haha. So I have to buy online... which takes more, because it usually costs more, with shipping or whatever.

Yeah I can't just settle with digital-only copies of most music. It's true that I mostly listen to music digitally, but I like to have the option to not. And quality suffers when copies are made. I also like to be able to have the physical copy of the actual presentation... But I don't like most of the stuff that comes up on the radio or "new artists" lists on iTunes or whatever. It's not that I strongly dislike it or that I don't listen to mainstream stuff, it's just that the stuff that I most like is probably going to be a little less well known, and a different style than is on those type of lists... And suggestions are best heard when it's directly from my friend or someone that I know whose tastes I know, or else associated with a band taht I already love.

Oh it's generally important to me that I know what is going on in the song, so English language... But even if it is nonsense I prefer it to be English.
