Vinyl Delights

I recently remembered that I have a good stash (100+) of old records that my father-in-law gave me when we bought their house. Well, the bank bought it, but we're paying (out the ass) for it.
Anyhow, when I got my turntable, the wife got me Nirvana - Nevermind and Pearl Jam - Vs. In addition to that, right now I'm listening to Steve Miller Band - Fly Like an Eagle.
God, I forgot how much more soulful music sounds on vinyl.
What is spinning on your rotating ear doctor?
"Spin, spin. Spin the black circle!"

Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are DEVO!
and, of course, Hall and Oates.

I used to pop into the N. Anthony Wooden Nickel and scour through the vinyl here and there. I started buying records, and thinking, "what the hell do I do with it?", because I didn't have a record player...so I started hanging them on my wall. Cool ass decorations, if you ask me!
I ended up with:
The Police - Synchronicity and Ghost in the Machine
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound and Foxtrot
Sting - The Dream of the Blue Turtles
Rush - Presto
Peter Gabriel - 1, 2,3,4 and So
and no 80's vinyl collection is complete without...Yngwie Malmsteen's RISING FORCE

it seems like every six months or so, someone invokes the name of Yngwie, and i spend the next few weeks humming old YM tunes and thinking of scalloping all my fretboards.

Yeah, that's probably me every six months.
Is it difficult to hum sweep arpeggios? I've never tried that...

i actually just read that, and went into the break room and poured myself a cup of coffee just so i could have something to spit on the screen.
THAT was funny.

From an econmomic perspective I can download one 99 cent song from itunes.... or I can get a whole album of songs without any of that nasty lossy MP3 compression.
I'm spinning Miles Davis The man with the horn, as I type.
Man I need to find a some more thrift stores with vinyl around town.
