LP sales overtake CDs

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

This reminds me of that strip in The Eye - It's Grim in North London!

Trevor, I need this translating into fifties-speak! I only want summat with the footprint of a matchday programme, a wire to plug in, a slot to shove the cd's, a button to rip 'em and then another button to play 'em!

So you want something with valves then?

Me too, especially when any warning light is an MOT failure, even if it’s something most cars don’t have.

Is that right? I didn't know that, but then I've not been in the motor trade for a while, so if any one of the myriad lights on a modern dash come on, that's it, failed? I've only bought a couple of top end motors in my life, one a V70 Volvo and that was a nightmare, it cut out on the motorway once, it was an auto, and the power steering went with it, absolutely cacked myself, not long after the lamda unit went, with some other sensor, so another fucking fortune gone.
I've just bought cheap and cheerful's ever since, currently have an 05 Focus that had about 60 thou on the clock with a full history, done another 20 in it, just had it serviced for £125 quid, and it sings like a bird. Plus, it's got an ordinary radio/cd player that works a treat, no daft keyless nonsense.

Try telling my bank account Lp's aren't on the up. Nothing better than listening to a vinyl Lp. I started on vinyls as a kid then went to cd and now back to vinyl. Has been very costly but as the saying goes you always go back to what u know is best. Like others on here have mentioned I use Spotify to check out new artists and album and then buy on vinyl if I like it. Discogs is a fantastic website for vinyls old and new.

Brennan B2 is superb if you can afford one.. I have a much cheaper version utilising Creation 5 , still works very well though. I use 2TB HDD. I rip the CD's in FLAC, the drive holds tons worth of CD's.

This may have been written in Arabic for all it means to me ;)

 

[I'm With Stupid]

We used to have a record when I was a kid that was a series of farts. Each one was introduced with its name and then a little sketch leading up to the fart. I remember it said The Bum Notes on the record (who also appear on the credits for the Bottom theme - not sure it's the same people) but I've never been able to find it anywhere. I thought someone might have uploaded it to Youtube.

My favourite was the Brown Corduroy.

That's a good point actually, do bands still use Marshall valve amps?

Ivor Biggun was the artist and he had a spot on Esther Rantzens that's life.

Absolutely they do.

Absolutely they do.

I thought so, why is that, that sort of technology is getting on for 100 years old or so? I remember watching Keith Richards praising Marshalls, and the sound being superior to anything else, plus, as we're on all things techno, he said (think it was him), that he never uses a mobile phone, just has the land line in the hall ''Like everyone used to.''
