My how things have changed?

To me it's simply that vinyl sounds better, and the ritual of cleaning an album and playing that album really loud purifies the soul :)

When my wife and children are visiting in-laws over the summer and I'm just chillin' with a cold beer I'll flip the album every time I fetch me another cold one :beerchug:

Sounds like you and I drink at the same pace.

My dad calls a 2 beer roux what most people would call a white roux and unless it's early, it takes me 4 to get to mahogany.

As for the music, I listened to "the big interview" with Dan Rather talking to Neil Young a few months back and it inspired me to carefully listen to digital vs album based music and the difference is astounding. It made me very happy that my wife and I have never gotten rid of any of our hundreds of albums.
