Where old music goes to live

Ironically this shot was found in the lane behind my house this week. It's a broken Cassette tape
On Sunday I went to Rockin Richards Record show. Not that I run my turntable anymore, but I just love being around music. It's kinda like spending time in a bookstore, just being around all that collected "stuff" is an experience enuff. I am happy to report vinyl is alive and well. While most of it is 60's to 80's and most of pretty bad, it was nice to see bins full of music. I just hung out,and looked around, I couldn't bring myself to buy any records.

The one thing I DID buy was 5 copies of Rolling Stone mags from 1979-1980. This was the time when I subscribed and dsicovered music. These are worth a read, if only to get a glimpse of the music industry possibly at its apex. Half to 2 page ads announcing new albums from Alan Parsons, The Police, Egar Winter, Pages of ads for new and improved speakers, cassette tapes, and turntables. Cameron Crowe's feature on Steely Dan inlight of their relase of Aja. The debate about whether New Wave was legit or not. It'a all really cool to see. I'll pass these along to whoever wants to read them when I am done.
