er, music mainly. Was that not apparent?

I do have a couple of LPs with speech on them. There's a Viv Stanshall album from the Rawlinson End John Peel sessions, also Lemmings by National Lampoon. Oh and the National Lampoon Missing Watergate Tapes. To be fair, the Lemmings album has music on it.

But yes music. Just about anything.

Not that fond of U2, or any of that boring fashionable 90s stuff like Coldplay or Snow Patrol. Given my history I may like some of it in 20 years if I'm still alive (I'll be 80ish).

Edit: Missing White House Tapes (I checked)

But, in case my talk of vinyl was misleading I do also have a CD player and an MP3 player and mod cons such as a mobile phone.

:) we've not had a music thread for a bit, maybe we can kindle one here. I quite like the War on Drugs at the moment. Deer Tick are a good... Actually I have no idea how to describe their music, low fi alternative is the best I can manage.

Mr. Wingnut is one for the discussion of diverse popular beat combos but I haven't seen him posting for a while. I expect he's beavering away on the forum awards.

Miles Davis was voted 'greatest jazz musician ever' or something by somebody last week. Not sure I agree with that. Generally speaking 'greatest ______' is a completely meaningless statement on a good day, unless it's "David Cameron is the greatest banquet pig fucker.'

FTFY.

I like Miles Davis' stuff, but I've never been into jazz all that much.

I do like the blues though. Lightin' Hopkins is ace.

no vinyl scratching with a laser turntable, bit pricey though

Who didn't like the 7800 when it was new?

I would say those are way out of anyone's league. Nine grand to play a ten-dollar record? Ridiculous.

I'm not sure lacquered wood (NJ) could ever be sexy.

Apart from in the 70s.

A friend of mine had a 7800 while I was languishing away with a 2600. I was more interested in the huge flip switches rather than the wood effect. The 2600 had little sliding switches, those on the 7800 looked like the controls of a spaceship.
