why? In what ratio, e.g. which do you listen to most often, and why?
I almost added CDs but I think CDs are still around sometimes for most of us..right?

Don't get me started..
I still have 8-tracks that are older than most TC members. I still haven't decided if I'm going to will my copy of 'Hair of the Dog' to Kevin or Cynthia.

Vinyl is for old people, man, not the cool hipsters of today.

Don't you have more pressing matters than insulting your elders, like maybe figuring out your bedazzled iPhone or locating the dipstick in your Prius?

RA has a bedazzled iPhone. Girlie.
I don't really get the vinyl thing either. But maybe I'm too young to have ever gotten it in the first place.
I mean there's that semi-static-ey background noise and you have to be pernickety when changing songs and have to handle them like small babies lest you accidentally scratch it.
Digital media is much better IMO.

OK, that was a spectacular zing, Clark.
I gave up vinyl and cassettes years ago. And I'm pretty much giving up on CDs as well.
Look, I get the argument about analog (i.e., vinyl & cassettes) over digital. The purists will howl that vinyl is a cleaner sound and you can pick up nuances in sound and music that get lost inside digital encoding. Agreed. But when you're treating your vinyls delicately and you've got some kind of state-of-the-art sound system that requires lab technicians from NASA to operate the thing (and I'm not saying Clark does, because I have no idea what kind of sound system he owns), then doesn't that rob you of the pleasure of just listening to music without the fuss?
I think that's why people migrated easily over to CDs, then MP3s. Ease of use, no muss, no fuss. And now that you can stream music online, even easier.
Now, the argument that MP3s are a shitty way to listen to music is completely valid. When you compress music to such a high rate and low disk space, you're going to lose a lot of quality. Mind you, unless you're paying attention, you're not going to catch that loss. There's a big move among gearheads to make Apple and other MP3 players to allow the use of FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec); FLAC is very similar to vinyl in the regard that it doesn't bit-rate music, but instead captures music as a live stream, hence a more purer sound. Problem is, FLAC is a hard drive space hog; an average FLAC file is about 20-30 MBs. If you want to compress the file to MP3, then you're forced to lose audio quality, so then you have to reconvert the converted MP3 into a lossless-quality MP3/AAC, then..AAAAARGH!!! Who has time for this? That's why MP3 is the easiest option. Quick, painless, ready for use. That's what the people want, right?
Still, I wish I'd kept my Fisher sound system. That bastard took me 2 days to put together, but, Jeezy Kreezy, that thing hummed like the jukebox of the Gods.

Good points, Gus. I guess the bottom line is that if you're single and have enough disposable income, killer weed, and spare time to memorize the liner notes from 'Brain Salad Surgery,' you could do a lot worse than obsessing over amps, pre-amps, equalizers, turntables, and speakers.
I've broken down and reassembled my system so many times that I have the process committed to genetic memory, muss and fuss be damned. I used to love to go into Almas Hi-Fi just to jack with their smarmy, hopeless-no-lifer salesmen.

I have about twelve crates of records I've been slowly transferring over to MP3. I like MP3 for its portability and storage but it will never be like owning a vinyl LP.
You'll never have to make the weekly trip to the local record store for new releases or dig in dusty crates to find a hidden gem that no one else has. Just a click of the button to search every piece of available music on the planet. Instant gratification. I won't even go into the old man rant about society's problem with instant gratification because I'm not that old but yeah..it's a cancer.

What's wrong with wanting instant gratification?

I still listen to cassettes every once in a while, but it's mostly because the library has a lot of books on tape that are still on, well.. tape. The sound quality is atrocious.
I think when you don't have to wait for something it doesn't hold the same value as something you get right away. Except for fast food maybe? They tell us it's a 'value' meal so I guess that doesn't work. Probably doesn't work for emergency healthcare either. Oh forget it. Go click your instant happiness buttons because we're all happy now right?! Right?!?! Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Hang on here.. did I miss something? How does it take longer to listen to vinyl than a CD? I mean, I’ve never timed myself, but it doesn’t seem to take that much longer to put a record on? Besides, I can never get the stupid CD out of the case.
I’ve never been big on cassettes, I hated all that rewinding.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the convenience of an ipod, but there’s just something about vinyl. I didn’t even know you could convert them to mp3. Sigh.

Pretty sure it takes the same time in regards to listening (depending on the speed your record player is set at). I was referring more to the hunt of the purchase.

Those old-school (read: 70's) stereo sales guys were a sub-cult all their own. Seems there's a movie plot to be had there somewhere.

Not officially - June, I think, if the government doesn't block it or appeal (or whatever).
Remember that this is a similar situation where they almost decriminalized prostitution a while back, but the brakes were put on that one pretty quick.

I listen to my vinyl on occasion. It would be more often if my record player were in a room where I tended to listen to music.
Cassettes, not so much. But I have a bunch of bootlegs and old mixtapes that I should get converted before they warp.
I'll add VHS tapes to this list. I have all this awesome stuff I taped off of TV when I was a teenager that I should really get converted. I've only bothered with one so far, though that one was worth it.
I still listen to CDs, since my car doesn't have an aux jack. I can still use the iPod-to-radio converter, but it's a pain unless I'm between cities.

Best Of Pousette Dart Band
We live in a Golden age my friends. Gotta love that they have made it possible for people to convert vinyl,cassettes 8 tracks to mp3 without any loss of original sound. But yeah I do collect all types music it's something enjoyable and its nice to find new bands etc.

I would really like your vinyl copy of Hair of the Dog, Clark. Unfortunately, my 8-track player disappeared long ago. I still have a turntable and a cassette player on my stereo. Iggy Pop, Ramones, Clash and Wreckless Eric are all best played on vinyl.

Clark, you already asked me when I brought up the Pousette-Dart Band.
Plus, we are both already married.
Thanks for asking, though.

I got caught up in the moment of finding another Wreckless Eric fan.
I still have 100 LPs and 20 cassettes in addition to 50 CDs. I have one of those stereos that play all of the above plus my Walkman that still works and does not suck batteries the way my portable CD player does. I am thinking of getting an MP3 player but since I am so technologically inept the technology intimidates me.

It's fine, Clark. We are few and far between. Is Eric still living, by the way??

Yep, he's still amongst us, happily (and somewhat awkwardly and charmingly) rolling out the hits.

Honestly, I had no idea who Wreckless Eric was until Clark introduced us all to him. And now I feel complete.
Think of a less-pretentious-and-enamored-with-being-a-SINGER/SONGWRITER Elvis Costello (read: 1977-1978), exuding equal parts pop brilliance and pommie charm and acting like your little brother when he's forgotten to take his ADHD medication and you're nearly home. The material he released on Stiff remain some of the finest of the era from anyone.
Hmmm I see Eric being mentioned,Costello mentioned.Let's just go for the trifecta and also mention Ian Dury. Anytime those three are on my turn table I know its going to be a good night :)
'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick' will always be on my All-Time Top 50 Greatest Songs Ever. Plus, Ian was a fucking riot.
So true. I must admit I am trying to collect all the vinyl 'Do It Yourself' different coloured cover variations. You can never have enough of his stuff in a collection.
Speaking of records I just picked up a bunch today. Gotta love Value Village.

I still have LPs and cassettes, which are mostly mix tapes. I don't listen to them anymore but I don't plan on getting rid of them, either. About a quarter of my CDs have been downloaded to my iPod. Eventually I want to get a bigger iPod that will hold ALL of my music. They haven't made one that big yet.
I miss Ian Dury.
Saw Ian Dury & The Blockheads open for Lou Reed at the Masonic Temple in Detroit in 1978 and needless to say, it was a blast. We wound up leaving about 20 minutes into Lou's set, though. He was being a prick, baiting the audience, etc. Zzzzzzzz..

Hahaha that sounds about right for Lou Reed. The guy was a total dick. But a majority of people who are talented are. If you are a Ian Dury fan I would sugest that you check out Rare and unseen. Great video with a lot amazing footage. By the way woud that be Mr.Johnny Thunders as your avi pic?.
It took me ages but I finally got the big music store in town to order the one and only ' Gang Wat Live in Tronto' disc for me. Thunders and Kramer one of the best combos ever

But oh I would've loved to have been at the Lou Reed show that formed the basis for the 'Rock 'N Roll Animal' album. Steve Hunter, Dick Wagner.. Wow!
Yes, that's Johnny T. I saw Gang War in early 1980 when I was in college in East Lansing, Michigan at a very small bar called Dooley's. It was - feh.. - just alright, or at least it started out that way. Both those guys could really play, but they were as pale as ghosts, obviously still chasing the dragon in the bathrooms.
Thanks for the Ian Dury video tip.

P.S. I'm Jealous of you for seeing them,Even if they were pale. Honestly I want to move to Michigan, such an amazing music scene.
You ever listen to CKLW radio back in the day? I know it was from the other side of the lake, but from the old recordings I can find they seemed to have played a lot of good stuff(minus the whole Elton John thing).

Hell yeah! That signal came in loud and clear. It was a great station. I made out with a girl for the first time with Bob Seger's 'Ramblin' Gamblin' Man' playing on the Big 8 in the background. Seger also wrote a song about their program director Rosalie Trombley, called (wait for it) 'Rosalie' (also covered by Thin Lizzy). They were the first radio station in the world to break Alice Cooper's 'Eighteen.' AM rocks!
I really need to get off my ass and get this:

PBS actually did and amazing documentary on the radio station. Rosalie actually talked about the song. She said that it was embarrassing and it was never played on air. I only wish they would play the MC5 on the radio..but to my chagrin they just play a lot of Journey

The Pousette-Dart Band (also known as PDB) was an American soft rock group active in the 1970s and early 1980s. Originally conceived in 1973 as a string band from Cambridge, Massachusetts, PDB comprised Jon Pousette-Dart, John Troy and John Curtis. With a shift to a more commercially oriented sound and a steady succession of additional personnel, the group went on to record a series of albums for their label Capitol Records, two of which (Amnesia and Pousette-Dart Band 3) made the Billboard album chart. Their single 'For Love' reached #83 on the Billboard singles chart.[1]
Although the band formally broke up in 1981, members reunited in 1991 for a series of concerts, and a 'Best Of' album was released in 1994. Since then collaborations between various former personnel have continued, with original members Jon Pousette-Dart and John Troy also launching solo careers.
The song 'Fall on Me' from the band’s second album Amnesia was featured in the eleventh episode of the second season of Lost.[2]
Jon is the son of Richard Pousette-Dart.[3]
