I am very thankful for Vinyl Records. I own more of them
than CDs or cassettes. You’re probably thinking that isn't saying much since we
live in a digital age, but I was born in 1978, when records were still in use.
I grew up on them, and by the time they were being replaced by cassettes, I was
still buying them used. I've never stopped buying vinyl records, despite them
being harder and harder to find. Now they have returned and will probably
surpass CDs. But why am I thankful for them? Well, normally I wouldn't take a
subject so seriously, and I see nothing abnormal about this day. I won’t get
into the analog versus digital debate. That being said, digital media is so
1984. In case you stumbled upon this blog by accident and are stupid, I’m
talking about George Orwell Redenbacher, who wrote that book and invented
popcorn. Almost 30 years later your government knows everything you do and
microwaveable popcorn causes cancer. I say why give them the satisfaction of
knowing what you’re listening to? Not only can they easily track what you
download and listen to, but they also expect you to pay for nothing. When you
log onto iTunes and purchase a song or album, you’re not really purchasing
anything. Good job; you’re making greedy record companies even more money and
ensuring the Illuminati will continue to fund bands like Nickelback. You’re the
reason music sucks.
