WeatherGirl<\/a> and my parents and sister all conspired to get me a really cool Xmas prezzie, namely a turntable. I’ve got a ton of LPs that I’ve acquired since Millard Fillmore’s presidency, and WeatherGirl brought quite a few over with her from Britain. Yet I’ve never actually owned a turntable. I would buy LPs and then head to someone’s house (usually my folks) and tape my new acquisition, and then store the original records and just play the tapes.<\/p>\n

I always figured I’d buy a turntable some day, but CDs had largely taken over by the time that I had a real job so it never actually happened, and the LPs just rotted gently in the corner. But no longer! I got a nifty turntable for Xmas :-). It’s been sitting in the living room since we got back because things have been so darn busy, but tonight we finally cleared some space and plugged it in. It was a total blast putting on Esteban Jordan and jamming to some fine tejano accordian on thin black round stuff.<\/p>\n

Woot! Many thanks to everyone who pulled this together.<\/p>\n

It’s actually a used turntable that can also play 78’s. Apparently you can’t buy new turntables anymore that can’t play 78’s, and everyone thought it would be nice to be able to play some of mom and dad’s cool old 78’s :-).<\/p>\n

Now I’d like to set things up so we can use the laptop to rip LPs as MP3s, but I doubt I’ll get to that right away.<\/p>\nNo tag for this post.\n\t
