Ah, as a break from burning vinyl onto CD for Tink, I thought I'd take this time to tell the world that no matter what you say, VINYL WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN CD!!!!!!!!! It is supreme to the world of digital. (excuse me, I'm gonna add a few more exclamation points) !!!!!!!!!!! There that's better. After listening to Can't You Hear Me Knocking straight from a first edition of Sticky Fingers, I realized that if my record player had a name, I would make love to it! I have 6 versions of that song, and they are all soil beneath my feet, compared to this heavenly gift from the Gods of Rock. I offered to burn a bunch of vinyl onto CD for Tink's dad for Christmas, but have soon found that this is also a gift for me. Not only do I get original recordings of Beatles, Stones, Doors and Zeppelin, but this experience has also made me get off of my lazy ass and hook my record player up to the computer. Come Dec. 26, I begin my burning odyssey. I already set aside all the records and singles that I'm going to burn and I'm actually a bit intimidated. I could probably crush a very, very, very small country with the heftiness of my collection. Soon the Bee-Gee's WILL BE ALL MINE AND THEN I WILL RULE THE WORLD! AH HAHAHA!!!!! After which, I will promptly begin to boogie down like it ain't no thang! That boy's talkin Jive! I wanna watch Shaft! No! First I must complete the vinyl for Tink and finish watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I can't believe I haven't seen it yet. I still have to watch Scrooged and the old A Christmas Carol, with Alastair Sims, to fulfill my holiday traditions. I hope Sims is on tomorrow night at 11 on CTV like it is every year.
