And it was even worse if we just wanted one song. If we were lucky, we might find it on a 45, otherwise we had to buy the whole damn album for it. I can't even count how many times I had to do that.
And there was none of this 'click for the next track' with your remote control bullshit either, we had to get up off our asses and go over to the Hi-fi, pick up the needle, and sometimes we even had to flip the album, and try to drop the needle perfectly into the slot between songs. You maybe got it perfect 1 out of 10 times. And then other times you'd drop it too hard and your dad would start yelling at you.
And don't even get me started on your 'mix CDs'. We had to use cassette tape for compilations, and we didn't just have to throw a playlist together and click on a button to burn a disc. No sir, we had to round up all the albums we wanted to use, and one by one take them out of their sleeves and jackets and manually load them on the turntable and then run the Discwasher over them. Then you'd have to drop the needle at the end of the preceding song and rush over to hit the record button on your tape deck and get it recording before the desired song starts and then hit pause once it's over and then put it back in its sleeve and jacket.
Now get off my lawn before I fill your backside full of buckshot. :grr:

Haha, I have done that with countless songs over the past few years. (Though that was not quite the case with this album, as a friend had sent me the other two songs through AIM.) It's definitely nice though, this way I did not have to buy Zeppelin's "In Through the Out Door" in it's entirety. (I absolutely loathe "Hot Dog") Another thing which is great about Itunes, is that if I miss an episode of one of my favorite TV shows, Instead of waiting for a rerun, I can just buy it the next day. (Though I have been using Hulu as of late to make sure that an episode is worth purchasing.)
Though, I would love to listen to vinyl sometime, Opeth still releases albums in vinyl, and I believe it would be incredible to hear their music with a record player. |
