What Fuzzies you bought recently?

If you will play it a lot, then why no, I say!

We all have our own sliding scale of value that is illogical on an absolute scale. I’m shelling out £200 a throw for toy aeroplanes FFS. If I’d met someone doing this a couple of years ago, I’d have thought they were both mental and stupid. They do hold their value extremely well, and careful choices will actually make you money over time, but it’s still a daft price for “man toys”.

At least you will do more than just stare at your half speed master.

Both books and records/cds you see only the spines (when proper bookcased).

Not ugly.

Ancient post of Wallace's:

"Apparently unlike Momus (who's music I admire a lot) I am drawn to a stack of records like the Pooh is to a honeypot. Doesnt matter; a wall of vinyl is beautiful if come upon in a dank, soppy Hannibal Lecter-basement or Kublai Khan's Pleasure Dome.



But you gotta give Momus credit for going against the vinyl-resurgence hype that you are almost daily spoonfed and see plastered everywhere.



Face it. Records are a dying breed and the (new advance of) cds DO sound better.

But that doesnt matter one iota since we all (those that matter at least) INTRINSICALLY CHERISH vinyl, since vinyl has nigh-museumish PERMANENCE and TANGIBILITY and since we HAVE to - at the very least -appear to love it since we ammassed so much of it over the past decades.

I prefer the sound of Vinyl, always said that but the utter shit that is involved NO THANK YOU anymore

That is how diligently you work?

Can't spare half a minute to work the stylus?


(Ahh but those half minutes add up, correct?)

It’s the constant interruptions that spoil it. People messaging, emailing, phoning just when you are enjoying a favourite track. With a cd you can just pause.

That said, vinyl is still well worth the hassle AFAIC. I’ve been busy renovating the house too, so my vinyl time has been squeezed. Another couple of weeks and I’m done until Spring.
