-reunion with vinyl
I decided after many years of digital musical listening that I would dabble in the world of vinyl once again. I remember the first record I bought (be nice I'm dating myself here) which was a Smiths 12" of 'How Soon is Now'. So I have the record player and now have the daunting question to answer - what will my Second 1st Vinyl be?
I'm a fan of Wayne Coyne & The Flaming Lips and there's an alternate version of The Yeah Yeah Yeah song that I heard a few times recently.
So with that I thought I'd give it a whirl on vinyl and have discovered that:
1) Labels still produce vinyl (mostly 12")
2) They are not easy to get (not as easy as my Smiths purchase @ Lou's Records in 198*)
Anyhow, if any has any recommendation for buying vinyl be sure to pop in a comment.

So back to this version of The Yeah Yeah Yeah song....definitely check it out.
It's almost acoustic and makes you really focus on the lyric:
Yeah Yeah Song (In Anatropous Reflex)
If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch
Would you do it?
If you could make everybody poor just so you could be rich
Would you do it?
If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back
Would you do it?
If you could take all the love without giving any back
Would you do it?
And so we cannot know ourselves
Or what we'd really do
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody
Would you do it?
If you knew all the answers and could give to the masses
Would you do it?
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah/no no no no)
Are you crazy?
It's a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself, or what you'd really do
