Listen to the show on WTBU? Well now you can also read what I think about a lot of the stuff I play, or if you think I'm a bore, but like the setlists, well they're here too. Enjoy.

A Little On The Resurgence of Vinyl

Last year I think I bought about 30 records. If not more than that. There is, in my opinion, no better way to listen to music than on wax, and it's a great thing, in my opinion, that vinyl seems to be coming back.

I don't want to preach the whole one is better than the other thing. There's plenty of places you can go online to swim in that pool. But I do prefer the old 33 & 1/3 RPM experience because that's exactly what it is, an experience.

You put on a record and it's an event. You go buy it and it's an event. You unwrap it, you take a look at the cover art, and it is all part of this awesome ritual. A unique experience. Everyone who likes to listen to music, whatever type, should at least once, listen to their favourite records on a turntable.

Ain't nothing like it.

Keep Jazzin',
