I don't know what you guys have against Eric Clapton; I really like him.

No one wants to play "Giggles, Goggles"? 

Who has anything against Eric Clapton? (Wait, okay, akronnick has a point.) But that was an old, Faye-style insult—'Hey, 'Eric Crapton,' play that lick again!'

For the record, Clapton was great.

In 1970.

The stuff he's made since I've been old enough to follow music has been... less than his best.

Yeah, I thought all that was bad, too, at least until Rod Stewart decided he was Mel Tormé. Kind of put it into perspective.

You're calling him a bad guitarist because of one bad song?  That's kind of unfair, considering all the excellent songs he has.

No, I'm (and I think akronnick as well) calling him an enormously gifted, influental guitarist who, after revolutionizing rock music, wrote a few sub-par songs that wound up getting twice as much airplay as any of his good stuff until recent years. I hate "Wonderful Tonight" and, while I appreciate the sentiment of "Tears in Heaven," that wore kind of smooth after the first hundred or so plays, too. I have to say, one great thing about mp3's and net radio is you can avoid this sort of crap (over-rotation) now. Ten, twenty years ago, not so much.

I suppose I can agree with you on that.  I don't have too much experience with the radio 10-20 years ago, since I was a kid/not born yet at that time.

Ah, the interwebs, where opinions can span generations and a well explained point of view can be appreciated by all...

Your mileage may vary.

I'm sure you're using that ironically, but, ye gods, I hate that miserable phrase. As old as I feel sometimes, whenever I start thinking about the past in those terms, I'll know I've reached my dotage.

I've spent my not inconsiderable life trying to improve  things over the "not-quite-so-good old days", and in recording, for instance I'm still doing just that (a couple of my recent recordings are being used during a demo of 3-D surround recording at a symposium at IRCAM in Paris next month).

Ooh!  Ooh!  Who remembers quadrophonic sound systems?  Let's put a time stamp on our foreheads...

Yeah, the good old days.  8 tracks, scratchy records, and 1/4 track reel-to-reel stereo (flip the 10" reel, get another hour!)

Not to mention those sparkly 12" laser discs replacing betamax videos...

Pshaw!  They still make and sell cassettes... doesn't count 'till it's extinct! 

(I know, they started making vinyl discs again.  I think it was just so the DJ's would have soomething to scratch...)

Where do you shop?

I haven't seen an album on cassette in a store in a good long while.

I remember 8-tracks—and, to date-stamp me, the Walkman personal cassette player was the 'must have' music device when I was in high school—we had Sanyo knock-off's by then. I knew a girl in college who owned one of the first Discman—compared to the tape players, sucker was huge. To compare, by then I had a sony Walkman that, when empty, could be collapsed to the size of a cassette case.

You can get blank cassette tapes most places - Wal*Mart, drug stores, Dollar General...  I didn't mean commercial ones.  As for vinyl, that's pretty much all limited pressing stuff sold online.  I don't buy any, though - my collection's already too big.

Sure, you can still buy blanks. I bet you can still buy blank VHS tapes, but nobody puts out content in those formats anymore.

To today's poll: The obvious winner should be Marigold/Angus. :P

Haley and Elan win for longest running UST, though.

Also, Marigold is really unbearably adorable right now, in spite of the hangover.

Until I was about 6 or 7, the only records we had in my house were 78rpm.

The first 33rpm I can remember getting was a Hanna-Barbera EP audiobook featuring Huckleberry Hound, Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks.
